Senton Escorpión Azul Project by Tex Koder

[Tex Koder]

Project : Escorpión Azul [aka Blue ScoᴙRpion]

I got this Senton 3S BLX Brand New back around the Christmas/New Years Holiday...
It's been sitting in the box all this time. While I slowly figured out what custom parts I wanted to design and produce for this truck..

Well, guess it's finally time to do a bit of Show & Tell on what I have been working on..

First, the unboxing..

Now the interesting stuffs ::

Installation ::

"Double Barrel" Carbon Fiber Center Brace

Need to have- ARA320528

Uses M4 screws to securely mount the brace.


"AC3S" motor fan shroud ::

 

[Tex Koder]

Custom Grill / Floodlights and Headlight & Taillight housings ::

Cool project!

What material are you using for the bumpers and tail lights?

Thank you.

The bumpers are just factory Arrma parts.

The taillight housing are PLA+

 

[Jerry-rigged]

Sorry, I meant to type grill and tail lights.

PLA+ will hopefully stand up to a few hits. Regular PLA seem to crack if you look at it sideways.

I used PETG on the center brace and fan shroud, which I could easily print the grill & light housings with it also.

Thank you sir.

I'm in the process of getting the actual parts up online.
I put in a tremendous amount of time in the designs and the multiple iterations to get them to fit exactly right.
Hope to cover just some of the time invested and costs..

good stuff sir!!!

i just recently purchased a 3d printer and would gladly be willing to pay for good files that would be useful as I get a little more advanced with my printing.
you are correct to expect a little compensation for your time and effort. I read somewhere AF members get a 20% discount

Quality work Tex!

[Doom!]

Great mods! Always cool to add some detail and functionality!

Do you think your motor runs cooler with the new fan shroud combined with repositioning of the fan? Tested?

Yes, it does run cooler and with less effort -the fan blows in a less restrictive way- going WITH the heatsink fins shooting heat straight out the back exhaust vent ,instead of blowing bluntly against it...

Unlike the OEM position -Trying to push heat back down towards the heatsink core.

Makes perfect sense, but wanted to confirm, Thanks! Great ingenuity!
