Senton Let’s build a Senton 3s from scratch together 😎

Love it! Whens the video?

Only bench tested and a couple of zips up and down the street in front of my house. I wanna get it dialed in before it’s maiden run Early next week.
This just showed up

Looks great!
I see you got the drive shaft figured out.

Took the bad boy out for its maiden run today. AWESOME!! Ran like a champ with a Power Hobby 7600, 75c. Almost got to LVC when a pebble got stuck in steering linkage. When I took the body off the dang chassis looked like a cat box. Dust cover will be here tomorrow.

Got the rear HR shock bodies today. One came together fine, the other one not so much. The piston would not slide in smoothly. Bound up about 3/4 in. The inside diameter is definitely messed up. Got frustrated with it, said screw it, not gonna deal with returning it. Ordered Typhon 6s rear shocks from Jennys.

 

[Cheez]

What a BLAST!

Typhon rear shocks, little fan on motor. HR front hub and blocks.

Gladiators

Finally got the BEC installed

Quite the Senton you've built! All those hop-ups...

Very cool to see shots of those HR bits close up/installed during the build process.

Was not happy with the ec5 to xt90 connection (yeah I hid it). Hopefully the solder job I did is strong enough. Heat shrink is coming.

 

[Cheez]

Better

 

[Pat_ranch]

Hope you have better luck with xt90's than I did. I'll never use them again (arced and fried a blx185 & 6s lipo for me, and arced & fried a new max6 for @ABabyEater )

Hmmm…now you’ve got me thinking and a bit paranoid. I have the full range of connectors and haven’t had issues with the XT-90 yet.

 

[ABabyEater]

What @Pat_ranch said. XT60 for crawlers, EC5 for Bashers. XT90s will always be removed from any of my cars due to insta-frying ESCs from high power batteries.

Just arrived today for the front I will install in near future.

 

[Cheez]

Getting ready to put front in.

DANG! SMOOTH AS A BABIES BOTTOM.

 

[Cheez]

No, I don’t sit on a shelf, yep I get dirty.

 

[Senton_Prime]

Ill say it.. She is definitely shelf worthy!!

Do you have the part numbers for the HR hubs and yokes.. Also the diff carrier case?
