I got a fun thread to start, how much Arrma is your Arrma?

[FatCatRC]

Great thread @FatCatRC

Typhon 3s - custom rc motor plate, gpm diff yokes, hr helical diff and inputs, tp motor, full sealed bearing set, no standard electronics, HR hex extensions and wheel nuts, stainless and titanium tie rods, hr steering setup, hr pillows, senton and brcc bumpers, senton 6s belted tyres on proline wheels, slipper and pinion... so much lol. Had loads of GPM aluminium guff (cvds, hubs and caster) but all removed now.

Moj exb - pps diff mount and motor mount, m2c wheel hexes, titanium centre drive shafts, scorched fenders. Rest is stock.

Noto - very little stock. Basically outdrives, hexes, bulkheads, steering parts, a arms arms wheel hubs, large plastic pieces stock. Rest (inc shell, towers, chassis, electronics, wheels, centre brace, motor and diff mount, wiring, diffs (all metal, gpm front and rear, arrma centre) all non standard!

Thank you! Sounds like some beastly rigs. I'll take your mojave if you ever get bored To everyone else thank you for your replies lets keep em coming. It's interesting finding out what people have changed and left stock.

I'm moving Maureen the Mojo (all my cars including my 1:1s get ladies' names!) up to 8s and definitely have your wiring/cable sheathing as inspiration for the new electronics. Watch this space

8s fun! When you do go to wrap them amazon is a great source for the wrap. I used 1/8 wrap for the single 10awg wires and I used 3/8 for sleeving to wires together but it was a bit small so try 1/2 maybe. And when you cut the sleeving have a lighter handy to melt the end a bit to stop it from fraying. And use heat shrink with glue in it, normal heatshrink without glue doesn't hold the wrap in place.

Top tips, thanks buddy!

Hadn't thought much about it with my outcast... but there's a bit of arrma left on mine. I think mine's a v2, bought it on 2018.

Stock:

Wing stand off part (RPM part bolts to the tower/bulkhead with the long stock bolts/nuts)
Wheelie bar wheels (on the t-bone rear skid/bumper)
Steering top plate and left steering cam (servo saver is hot racing adjustable)

Outcast 6S only changes are cooling fan, servo and ESC.
Tried a traxxas pinion in a moment of craziness... only lasted 2 runs before it threw 2 teeth as it surrendered.

A couple links and body post

I upgrade as the parts break. You can see most of the upgrades but not the Hot Racing front and rear hubs. I thought I lost the motor once, but replaced both bearing and it's still going strong. Of course, the servo was replaced the first week.

We all love our rigs and we all do stuff to improve them the way we want them. So with all the upgrades and parts you have thrown on your rig how much of Arrma brand do you have left on your rig? Mine is barely an Arrma anymore. I think besides the wheels, just the body posts, shocks, front mud guards and the fr/rr diff cases. The rest is all aftermarket. So how Arrma is your Arrma?

100% Armma!!!!!!!....uh Proline trenchers 3.8 tires sorry.

 

[Harry62]

All 3 of mine are still 90% Arrma I'm not a big modder. I like to beef up for speed and maybe some RPM Parts or a T-Bone Bumper otherwise all Arrma all the time.

My new 200+mph build is going to use the Arrma front hubs, stub axles, and wheel hexes. The rest is custom... can I call it an Arrma?

It certainly wont look like one LOL

Who really cares what it looks like as long as you love it

Inspired by Liberty's 4tec build i am messing around with my pre-Arrma speedrunner (originally it was Hobao Hyper VTE). It does use a limitless spool and i'll probably use some more arrma parts. At what point does it become more arrma than an orginal arrma that only contains aftermarket parts?

Some of the guy builders change everything on there rigs and only pick up 5 or 10 mph, for hundreds and hundreds of $$, most crash them and then spend more, just like full size cars n trucks, but if you can muster up the bucks, just do it, its just the nature of the beasts. DJLSR, PS i ALSO LOVE MY FELONY.
