Senton Senton 6s reBUILD

[K-BASH]

Me being a fan of SCTz.my 1st arrma was a senton 3s..then I got Mojave. From day 1 I wanted a senton 6s.i finally found one,300$ I bout the truck sep 24 2020.it had been painted up ,but ran strong with blx185 an 20t.right away I repainted an went throu truck.topped diffs off.truck screamed,everything i expected and more.swapped out blx 185 for a quickrun 150a,4068 2650kv motor. Burned motor up an now has 4076 2000kv motor w 21t.to keep things cool I installed 2 powerhobby high speed fans&heatsink for motor, 1 high powerhobby speed fan for esc.put mesh wire to keep debris out of fans.put outcast side-railsin it.cut hole throu side to let heat out.put some badland mx m2s.then I added sway bars f/r.didnt like how truck rolled so easy so I added kraton hubs&steering blocks.1/2 in wider on each corner.was needing new body so I went with red/black v3 senton mega body.also installed rpm bumper on rear.IVE BEEN ORDERING LOTS OF PARTS FOR TRUCK,WILL BE TEARING TRUCK DOWN,CLEANING,DIFFS AGAIN,AN ADDING NEWS PARTS AS THEY ARRIVE,WILL UPDATE EVERY STEP.TRUCK LOOKING GOOD SO FAR.MUCH MORE TO COME.

Today I got new badlands and front RPM bumper I put on BACK of truck.reviews talked about hard impacts ripping diff housing bolts out.so I installed on back of truck to get rip of ugly stock rear bumper.less likely to have hard impact to rear.they guard shocks well and alot stronger then stock.looks kinda funny but BETTER THAN STOCK

Now that you widened the 6s, is it the same width as a widened 3s?

I'm wondering how the stock V3 body will rub if I widen my 6s.

 

[K-BASH]

i cut all my senton bodies so I can run 1/8 buggy tires. It's hard to find short course tires in 17 mm. I've tried almost all tires that will fit on a senton And 'Badlands are the only ones that I found it will make it and not come apart. So the Badlands are a must on this truck.badlands are 4.60inch,stock 6s dboots are 4.40inch.. if you ran to stock size tires I don't think you would have to trim body at all and I don't think you would have clearance. here's truck fully compressed suspension with tires tucked into wheelwells. My body post are at medium height so I could raise body if needed

@K-BASH Thanks man, always helpful.

I got these King Motor rc wheels dirt cheap, seem decent. I have not tried them out yet. I def want to stick to sc wheels.

Those who look good on build with that red in there I'm trying to get more red parts make it pop.ive spent 100$++ on senton tires,NONE HAVE MADE IT TO BEING BALD.im done wasting $$on tires.PROLINE BADLAND MX M2s from now on.when I get home I'll send u some better tire clearance pics..with sct tires on it

 

[SKUNKWORK SC]

I hear you on tires, I destroy tires on concrete so I look for cheap.

The Senton 6s does murder wheels. I ripped up the stock ones pretty good, have to keep gluing them back on. I've destroyed Proline wheels too. Buggy wheels work good, but I want the tread width of the stock sc tires.

All you needed was the Kraton hubs? I see they sell the hubs with the pillow ball housings, would I need those too? Thanks man.

4 kraton cvd's
2 Kraton steering blocks
2 kraton hubs
4 kraton (red ones) hex. You might be able to reuse the senton6 hexes I'm not sure on that though
Then theres 8 bearings.2 on each corner. Could reuse

Much appreciated!!!

ANYONE WANTING TO DO BUILDS LIKE THESE WITH MISMATCHING DIFF 6S CARS. Finding Parts trucks for sale with like burned-up esc's or Motors are the way to go having a spare parts truck sitting saves you tons of money and parts are readily available that way.thats what I do. Start adding up the cost Of all the small parts you may need adds up quick. Then you can have spare rebuilt Diffs, Center Diffs extra shock Towers all that stuff.tothe single is expensive

 

[SKUNKWORK SC]

I agree, but I have no room lol. And if I have a roller laying around, it will get built and I have to find room for it. Most of my rigs were used rollers, totally the way to go.

ANYONE EVER GET A CHANCE TO PICKUP A SENTON 6S.DO IT,THEY ARE SOOO MUCH MORE THAN THE REST OF 6S LINEUP.IMO SUPER FAST TANKS..

So with this build I'm not going to be buying shiney,expensive, aluminum parts.after done I'll drive the same as before the (reBUILD).ITS TOUGH THE WAY IT IS,I WANT TO KEEP WEIGHT DOWN.so instead of alu chassis braces I've decided on center brace.this truck does alot of end to end flipping.instead of 45$ for 2 chassis brace,I'll keep stock plastic ones an add center brace for 30$.basicly same as on my notorious.233mm was to long,I'll return for 200mm,ARRMA GRAPH BELOW IS WRONG,TOOK ONE OFF MY NOTO FOR FITMENT.PARTS STILL ROLLING IN.WILL START TEARDOWN THIS WEEKEND

 

[K-BASH]

I forgot something....when I bout this truck it came with this savox sc-1258tg servo.NEVER HAD A SERVO THIS FAST ON SCT.IT'S A GAME CHANGER!!!!TRUCK IS SO MUCH EASIER TO CONTROL,WITH THESE HIGHER POWER SCTz it makes the experience Top notch..where I'd go sideways an lift.i can now stay in the throttle steer outa it fast..meaning go almost completely sideways and still countersteer out of it while still in the throttle.NOW IMO A MUST FOR SCTz.its only on 6.0volts.cant wait to see how fast it'll be on 7.4volts.same with fans,they'll be faster&louder also

 

[SKUNKWORK SC]

Thanks for posting that. That's exactly the type of driving I do, I've been running the Amazon ones and was wondering If the price was worth it. The Amazon ones are slow but tolerable.

Curious, Would a faster servo make it harder to control at higher speeds?
