Senton Hello again, my dear old friends.

[The_Otherside]

Where it started. Where we're at!

Pictures don't do justice how filthy this thing was.

"First" rip in the "rebuilt" V3 Senton 6s!

Nice job on the restoration.

Senton 6s is legendary..... is it really worth owning over a Mohave?

I can get a nice Senton 6s locally for $400 or so but like most of them it has the dated esc & motor combo.

Done all I could do!

Disassembled and scrubbed every piece as best I could.

Missing a piece to mount the front bumper from the original owner, so this bumper is staying on for now.

Won't turn left. No throttle or reverse.

So what exactly is the missing piece on the front bumper?

For parts availability, I'd go with the Mojave. Both are equally as durable.

But if you want something to bash and not have a care in the world, go with the Mojave.

I'm going to bash the Senton, but since parts availability isn't as good as the Mojave, I'll have to always use at least a little caution.

If you have money to spare, I'd get the Senton just to hang on to and them get the Mojave to beat on.

Here's some videos you didn't ask for. Lol.

Whatever this is called. Lol.

A proper rip!

Mojave is nice, but for a short course, I went for making my own Senton from Typhon parts. A little modification with the shock towers and mounts was worth it. The slight extra width of the track is a plus imo. Still a work in progress, but it's coming to fruition. Brand new parts. Worth it. Can't get cleaner than that. So, as far as I'm concerned, the Senton 6s is alive and well through the Typhon. I thought about a Mojave, but built a hybrid instead with a Kraton chassis and JConcepts Finnisher body. They want WAY too much for Mojave bodies. The whole hobby is a rip-off, but that body price (out of all the money I've spent) can kiss my behind. It's like a boundary to me. That one particular item.

My RC's look way too good because weather here in southeast MI. It SUXXXXXX here. Whatever it is, this whole contextualization we call reality tells me NO. No running the RC's. Stay in while I RAIN on you all year, MUAHAHAHAHA!! Years now. Rain and mud. Climate change is real. As to the cause of it, I'm not gonna go there.

They're waiting for the crap to clear up outside. Always....waiting.

Nice work on the Senton / Typhon build and the paint work on the body.

I'm bored and have to face a doctor office procedure tomorrow, so posting a few more pics for the heck of it.

'1/10th' scale 6s is where it's at. Easier to run in limited space imo. Typhon 6s makes a nice Senton with a little work. Worth it.
