Senton Does anyone Know

[Cosshog]

Does anyone know if the Granite or Big Rock body drop right on a Senton without any modification? They can be found pretty cheap is why i looking at them for bashing.
We are adding 2.8 wheels for skate park and don't want to cut stock bodies for when we run stock sizes.

The granite SWB chassis is 40mm shorter than the Senton so it won't line up with the body mounting holes without modifications plus the mounting holes are more narrow than the Senton. The big rock is the same chassis length as the senton and will fit fine but since it's narrower you will still need granite/big rock body posts part # AR320404

Might have to do some trimming or remove the bumpers not sure though.

What did you use to lift your body i want to do the same thing but not sure how or what hardware i will need

Here is my body lift. I went and got some water piping for the house, a dowel rod that fit inside the water pipe ( 5/16 x 48 inch long ), cut a piece of dowel rod to go inside the lift mount on the frame and left space to mount the arrma body mount inside the water pipe. Attached screws to each end and wala, body lift to my specs. Now if you want bigger tires you must do this. Change the pinion gear to 13T from the original 20T or you'll break stuff. Then add your tires. Mine are from Duratrax 2.8 inch truck mounted, 0.5 inch off set chrome with 12mm hubs. It does not matter if you get 2wd or 4wd tires but make sure they are all the same tires. You must replace your 14mm hub with this 12mm from duratrax part. The plastic sign (open house) i cut to make my mud deflection because the mudd and debris will be alot. Air flow is most important to cooling the motor. The ESC has a fan but not the motor. My motor ran a little hot but had no issues running hot. I purchased a fan an modded it to the moto and plugged the j plug into the receiver (rx). It will come on automaticly when you add your 3s lipo. It's a beast. I clocked it at 45mph as it sits. Like this, at full speed it is more controllable than stock at 50+ mph. Like I said its a beast.

Did you get the pics?

Did you get the pics?

Yes got them did you have any issues with your mud guards rubbing the tires

 

[Senton Monster]

My mud guards flex with the tires. I have mounted them higher than the tire but sometimes they rub on it. Sense i duct taped the plastic mud gards with black (so you can't tell they are there ) the tires just bounce off the duct tape. When cutting the plastic sign, only cut one side for the corrigated plastic to flex. I live in Monreo NC and my RC airplane club has made a track.
