Senton Senton 3s build

[Planb606]

So this is mine and my dad's senton 3s builds we've both got hobbywing 3660 sl 4600kv motors we both have light bars mounted on the front bumpers his steering servo went out so we've got a onyx servo and that's it so far we have 17t pinions on the trucks right now my dad's got a 6000mah 100c 3s battery I got the 5500mah 60c 3s a set of pro line holes got tires were getting the other 3 sets tomorrow that should make a big difference on handling we run on or dirt track and make sure to get it wet before we run them is there any suggestions on the next upgrades we should do

Nice setups. Personally would get 6s Typhon shocks or Hot Racing shock bodies. I also prefer the wheel hexes of a 6s Typhon mainly to run 17mm wheels. I have a pair of hole shots that I ran on my track and it tore them up in a few sessions

 

[Planb606]

What wheels do you run on your track now and we're you running them on a wet or dry track

 

[Josephwilliammyersjr]

I run the electroshock and it's mostly dry and I glue it due to high silt cause I live in sunny hot and dry as hell Arizona.

 

[Planb606]

On the track? I live in the mojave desert in cali lol it gets really hot out here too

 

[Josephwilliammyersjr]

Yes I have a high clay soil and high calcium water so I add a cup of elmer's glue to water and spray the whole track. Although now I am trying a new method hopefully it will last longer. A bit of work but the end result is a fairly nice grip track that does not get eaten up even buy a 6s Kraton. Unfortunately since it's dry a fine silt usually ends up in the corners.

 

[Planb606]

Ah. Yea we have a 300 gallon liquitote we just fill up and drive the truck around the track to wet it down and a hose wherever we need it
I like sliding/drifting through the corners lol

 

[Josephwilliammyersjr]

That must be massive track? Any full picture to show the whole track? I am currently adding a new section for the winter. I am always on the hunt for new ideas

It's about 3/4 of an acre maybe a full acre once it rain good out here in the desert were gunna probably make a second track and keep the oval lol I like the oval cause you can fly through the straight aways I'll take some pictures later on when I'm done workings
Well rent a tractor this time though lol

[Josephwilliammyersjr]

Damn that's Hella nice speed.

 

[Planb606]

I may get another pack of these dirt oval tires to try with the senton.just to see how they do on our oval

 

[Planb606]

Gunna try the max10sct esc and see how it runs and I finally got our spare truck ready to run its the senton mega but I've got the 3s blx esc and motor in it and it's got the .8 mod slipper clutch/spur assembly with a 15t pinion also finally glued and mounted the tires so hopefully they work out

 

[Planb606]

Well the hobbywing esc ran good for about an hour although it was overheating alot the it shut off throttle control completely idk what happened cause I let it cool off and it still wasn't working the steering was working but no throttle so I put the stock esc back in and it was running great tires holding out pretty good so far

No, those are the lower front arms for the 6S Senton. Not the 3S version.
