Thanks! It's all stock. I ran 6x 3.7v Arrma brand Lithium Ion batteries.Nice color scheme! I liked the blue as well What did you run for batteries in this guy?

Yes there will be I actually have a 25t pinion coming just for experimenting... I probably won't get to it until this weekend. I have a redcat 16t 550 I'm thinking about trying it with (about equal to a 20t, 540.. like the stock motor but more torque) Experimenting with different combo's is part of the fun I think. Let me know how yours runs!
I am looking to get a pair of voltage for Christmas. Going one Granite and one Fazon as low level bashers for my son and I. I am looking for low level tweaks to slightly upgrade. I am thinking the esc for a larger lipo and maybe a bigger brushed motor. I don't need the speed of brushless on these specific ones at this time but may want to upgrade the motor later, so a better esc. I am new to the hobby and looking for product suggestions.
I did almost the same with my granite. Lipo at 50c, 19t gearing. Gets a little warm but it will finally do the speed claimed on the box. I did have to cut the chassis to run the lipo, but not much.
Did you happen to sell it to a guy in Ohio?hehe I always ran my at full tilt. Not too bad of a truck, but I wish I had kept my brushless converted Granite 4x4!
Let me know how that works.. I'm new to this but from what I see the 550's can pull a lot more power but don't spin nearly as fast as the 540's for the same # of turns.Also I just ordered the Arrma 550 12t motor for him, to see if we can put that wheelie bar to use.
Hey swam0, a couple of things..Well I ordered some Arrma springs thinking that they would fit the shocks because they were from other 1/10 vehicles. No dice. Diameter too large, length too long. Tried changing to a very slightly heavier shock fluid. Either the shocks are garbage or I'm an idiot because they all bled out, Teflon tape wouldn't even stop it.
I'm not trying to triple my investment here, but I'm trying to get it performing better. My local shop is exclusively Traxxas, so they are basically useless. The specs on the Arrma site for things like shocks aren't in depth enough for me to make educated purchases.
I'm lost.
I understand. I don't have one on my own. But the five year old boss of me demands wheelies! Hahaha.Hey swam0, a couple of things..
I've modded both of my Granite Voltage models.
My son's now has a 550 15t brushed motor, the Traxxas Titan. Mine has a4300kv brushless system installed. We're both on 2S 50c LiPo batteries. On the stock tires, you won't have enough traction for wheelies unless the bumper weight somehow helps that.
As for shocks, easiest is to bring them to a hobby store and try matching up to what they have in the shelf. Otherwise, you can measure them using calipers and go down the rabbit hole of the internet looking for spring specs. I've tried that and it drove me nuts.
I would pull the rear bumper off and get the power and handling to your liking rather than try to make a wheelie machine.
In my experience, with power sufficient for wheelies in these models, you arrive at a place where replacing outdrives and/or differentials will become a noob-stop affair with these models.I understand. I don't have one on my own. But the five year old boss of me demands wheelies! Hahaha.
