Senton Senton 2x4 brushless

[RetroThutmose]

Starting a build thread as I race, bash and crash this machine.

Currently all stock Arrma parts 2x4 Boost with the Boost pack brushless upgrade and FSgt5 tx/rx.

First mods are going to be strengthening the body and upgrading the servo to a Spektrum S652. Nothing too fancy but a cheap upgrade that should drop right in.

I’ll pick one of these over the S652 any day, you should try one.

which control angle? i would assume 180 since these don't require much of a turn lock to lock?

 

[Dan B.]

Yup. 180°. You still need to set the endpoints like with any servo, but they work great for the money. There’s a waterproof one as well, I think it’s the red case ones.

Haven't had a ton of time to drive lately because of the holidays and poor weather but I got a bunch of tires to play with. Don't worry I will get around to gluing them before driving on them.

Amazon "quality"

paddles are fun but too much traction in these conditions. The rear had so much traction that it overpowered the stock wheels making it impossible to turn. Yeah, 4x4 would improve this.
