Big Rock Conversion Senton to Big Ass Rock

[evberkel]

So i made up my mind and gonna go forward on the coversion of my 2021 Senton to a BRCC. Ordered all the stuf i need, thx to the guys for the help with the shoppinglist. I also gonna replace all the bearings, shock oil and diff oil. The stipping has begun!
Any tips regarding the oil to use are welkom.

 

[evberkel]

Not all the parts have arrived yet. So now I’m gonna prepare and clean everything thoroughly, then fill the shocks and diff with new oils. For the Shocks I don’t know yet what oil I will use. The diff gonna be 30k front and 20k back.

Upgraded the steering and put in HR pivot balls. Rebuild and upgrade started

Ouch I bet that was costly should have ordered most of everything from Jenny's and saved a butt load of cash. Next time definitely check jenny's first as they have all stock Arrma parts for wayyyy cheaper than anywhere else.

 

[evberkel]

Yes sir. I cost me an eye and a finger . Made my calculations and it’s wasn’t that bad. Keep in mind I got the Senton real cheap. Bought it from a guy practically new for a very fair price. Jenny i have seen her prices and damn she is cheap! (No offense Jenny) But shipping to Europe, taxes and handling custom costs are to high to have an advantage.

 

[Edough13]

Ahh ok, I didn't know you were in Europe.

 

[evberkel]

Wish we had a “Jenny” over here. How they do that? Buy rtr’s and break them down?

 

[Edough13]

Yep that's exactly what they do

Wauw that also a nice way to earn a living. I wonder if they have a deal with Horizon for garanties and so.

Where is here? Europe has 2 breakers that I know of, Badtouch Breakers and I think the other one is Rons RC.

I live in Holland. Import out of the UK is not interesting due taxes and so.
Ron’s RC is located in Austria, but the prices I see there are not really interesting.

Oh. I've never really looked at either as it would not make much sense being as we have like 4 kit breakers that I know of.

Couple days later. Serviced the diffs and all 4 shocks. diff front 30k rear 20k. Shocks filled with 500cst as starting point.

Start to rebuild everything. Fitted the wing and trimmed the body. Looks good to me!

The body fits perfect after some adjustments and alterations on the wing assembly

It’s almost done. Waiting on the HR 17mm hex adapters and decal stickers. Bummer I can’t drive it yet.

Tnx. That roof skid is traxxas. Saw that in another tread.

Looking great. I’m doing something similar with my TyphRock.
Where can I find those corner skid guards?
