Mods to help on 6s is what Im looking for.@Senton4x4 what other mods are you specifically looking for?
There are a number of good upgrades and modifications in our Recommended Arrma 4x4 Mega Upgrades thread as well as some useful videos in the Mega 4x4 How-To videos post that you might want to take a look at.
The links above should cover a lot of it. Also check out this build thread as well - Arrma Granite 4x4 6S BLXMods to help on 6s is what Im looking for.
Hey new to this forum thing. Need help and figured you knew what you were talking about. I have a senton 4x4 3s and I love it. Only problem I hated the small tires and opted for bigger ones. so the guy at the rv shop recommended a new pinion with less teeth. He gave me a 18t. Come to find out not only is that not an option on the RC. But also, the one he gave me was the wrong size diameter. Would love some help in what direction to go and maybe a suggestion in teeth size. Currently have the stock 20t and I'm not worried about losing speed. Really just wanted bigger tires for off roading. Without over loading the motor cause the bigger tires. Thanks!@Senton4x4 what other mods are you specifically looking for?

There is no “diameter” rating, just tooth count and pitch. You need a 32p or 0.8 Mod pitch gear. An 18T might still be fine but it depends on how hard you drive it and climate you drive in. If it’s hot out and you run it too hard, you will burn up your motor. Easy way to prevent that is run it for a few minutes and check your motor and ESC temps. ??Hey new to this forum thing.

Thanks guys that's what I went with. The 15t the I upgraded the servo and remote as well!Your motor mount only support 20t or 15t, which is fine since the tires you mounted go great with 15t. I suggest replacing the 18 to a 15t, as @jondilly1974 mentioned, it should be 0.8mod pitch on a 5mm bore.
Good luck and enjoy! this is a great rig!
Hi Jason, I have those same tyres to go on my Senton. Did you have to cut the body at all to fit them? Do they rub?Thanks guys that's what I went with. The 15t the I upgraded the servo and remote as well!
Yes I did. If you look at this photo you can see the amount I cut out.Hi Jason, I have those same tyres to go on my Senton. Did you have to cut the body at all to fit them? Do they rub?
Oh yes, I didn't look that closely - it didn't look like you'd cut them but now I see you did. Do you get any rubbing now or was that enough?Yes I did. If you look at this photo you can see the amount I cut out.
Yeah, I bought those wheels because of that video too! And also the same radio and what I thought was the same servo. Hah!Yeah still a little rubbing. Based on what I've seen it is possible to wheelie them. I personally wanted bigger ones for the look. Heres a video I want off of and got the same servo and remote from as well.
Hope this helps!
Funny enough the one I bought turned out not to be waterproof and made a funny noise in one direction to my ears to I out a video in my build thread and one of the guys saw it and told me it looked a bit slow and told me the right one to get, so I ordered the right one, which is waterproof, 5kgs "stronger" and supposedly also faster and only cost around £1 more on Amazon! So my job tonight is to once again swap the servo out (I've not even driven the thing yet!)Thats funny! Yeah I really like the orange and that's my only body that I have so I went with that. How was the install of the new servo ? Pretty easy?
No, I don't have a YouTube channel, well, not for RC cars anyway.OK I haven't gotten the radio yet. Could you send me a link to the better servo and the servo saver as well? Thanks. Also did you say you made a video or a youtube channel?
Is this the servo saver?Yeah I just realized I ordered the waterproof one. Also just need to get the servo saver now. Thanks.
