Hallo, can i have question? I want upgrade my Granite Mega to brusheless too and i look on input gear what u post and it is 17T, but original is 13T. Why 17T and not 13T, don't have to change diff crown too? I found this in optional parts https://www.arrma-rc.com/part/AR310886 Sorry, if is it stupid question, but im newbie too, it is my first RC car.
Can I ask why you recommend the 15 tooth pinion over the 17tooth? also I have just received the 57t slipper set ara310949 from wheelspin models. The 17t hd input gear is still out of stock until late December. Iv been out of action for ages now
You can run on the old diff input, you'll just break it sooner or later - probs sooner!Can I ask why you recommend the 15 tooth pinion over the 17tooth? also I have just received the 57t slipper set ara310949 from wheelspin models.

In a nutshell, yes in my experience though you lose a little acceleration and your motor will run warmer. I think with that HW motor anything above 17t resulted in too much heat for me. Speed depends on loads of factors (weight, grip, resistance, surface, temoerature etc etc), but ive got an 18t pinion in my typhon w/57t spur and will do a speed test on grass next w/e so can give you an approximation.
Yes. I have run the HW 3652 3200kv!
(I know I should have just bought the blx granny or big rock) lol
cheers dude yep just ordered the small red slipper shaft, I picked up a wheelie bar as well while i was thereYes, you need the small red shaft. Even with the smaller shaft, the driveshaft is a very tight fit, I have been tempted to shave mine a few times...
That black part, yeah, I have it, it does not hold anything on. Both the red shaft and black collar are only held on by the spring in the driveshaft. If I pull the power module, they tend to fall out when I am not looking...
I think they should supply the small red shaft with the 57t slipper set. if you need the red part then surely it should be part of the set.did you get around to doing the speed test with the typhon? would be interested to hear what you got with a 18t pinion
Haha - I'd bet in the next few weeks from you we'll be hearing about your first 6s purchaseGreat news guys I have finally completed the Granite upgrade. I firstly would like to thank everyone on here who has advised and supported me during my learning process. I have come from being a complete noob with zero knowledge of RCs or how they work, to upgrading a granite to brushless.
I went with the Hobbywing EZrun Max10sct combo. Includes a 3660 3200kv motor and 120a ESC. I put in a 57t 0.8mod slipper set and put in a 15t pinion.
I fitted 2xHD metal diff inputs and also put in a drive shaft support. and also fitted the adjustable metal motor mount.
My son and I just took it out on our local green for a quick blast and oh my what an improvement over the stock brushed motor. I recon on pavement it must be hitting low 40s mph I recon and that was just on 2s. At some point i will download an app on the phone and see if i can get a half accurate reading on the speed, but wow its so much more fun now. The car when stock cost £235 and i recon i must of put in about £170 worth of upgrades. so for £400 odd quid i should have got the BLX Granny or the Big Rock. But one thing I am greatly appreciative for is the learning curve and knowledge gained thanks to you good people on here.
The shocks on the granny are a bit leaky so the next thing to upgrade i guess will be the shocks. Any recommendations for better shocks guys? Also im guessing at some point the steering servo is going to quit so the 25kg amazon ones @Grimbles suggested may be next. I have just fitted the wheelie bar so hopefully next run will be a bit easier and more fun. Any recommendations on 3s lipos? I was looking at this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B084SSN...colid=ZSCNQW7V60D8&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
looks ok.
I don't mean to go on, but seriously guys you all have been so helpful to me, a complete beginner. I really appreciate all your advise and your wealth of knowledge.
Cheers guys
