My Senton brings a smile to my face each time i take it out for a blast but thats quickly wiped off my face once it get it home to clean it.
The fun part
The bad part
So ive decided to try and improve the senton on a budget. Picked up a few bits and bobs so far on the cheap.
An Aliexpress dirty cheap bodyshell that will fit with a few mods. The stock Senton body mounts are too wide for the front end of the new bodyshell.
Planning on keeping it as stock as possible i knew i needed the big rock body mounts as soon as i tried out the shell on the body. Do have the big rock side guards coming for it. Think the body looks good on the standard Senton Bumpers so will only look at changing them if and when i break them. I do have a set of Ragnarok mt's and a set of Fastrax SC Stingers. And on the subject of the tires have both the 12mm hex and 17mm hex adaptors. As this is on a budget theres plenty of tire options for both the 12mm and 17mm Hex on aliexpress which i will look at in more detail as i ruin/shred the tires that i already have.
don't really know what i want to make it a street basher or an off road basher as yet. The few places around me that i go to are mostly grass parks or ash parks don't get to run it on tarmac as such as haven't found a decent place to do so but that may change as i venture out and about more. I do really enjoy the senton on the grass/ash parks but don't enjoy the clean up afterwards and hopefully these upgrades will help reducing the cleaning up after having it out for a blast. I know i need to drop the pinion size if i go up wheel/tyre size but if i go down do i still need to change the pinion size? Is there anything else ive not considered yet that i need in doing these mods? Any advice or comments are welcomed seeing as im completely new to this sort of thing.
