Senton Senton 6s v3 conversions? Who got what?

[MFM]

Love the senton. Thing is an animal!!! Upgraded like everything so far. Eating full sets of wheels/tires every 4th or so runs. It’s my backyard ,take to work every now and then beast. Grass to dirt to blacktop no track days (yet). Seriously thinking of converting it to a 1/8 scale rally racer (it’s actually a 1/8 scale truck but they call it 1/10).
anyhow who’s done It? What body’s are durable like the oem arrma body? What posts needed or will the sc mounts work?
Or what cool conversions have been done to the senton v2 or 3.
also what gearing are y’all going with? I went straight to spool, didn’t even try it w the slip diff in the center lol. Getting crazy power n speed messing around small spur n big pinion lol. Trying to find the best still w out sacrificing the integrity of the motor or esc...

The only reason they call it 1:10 is because if you take a full sized short course truck, and make a model a 10th of the size, it’s that exact size. A buggy is a smaller vehicle than a short course truck. So if you take a full sized buggy and divide the size by 8, it’s the same size as diving a short course truck by 10... which is why an 8th scale buggy and a 10th scale SCT are the same size. If you take an 8th scale MT, it’s bigger than them both. Why? If you take a monster truck, which is huge, and make a model an 8th of the size, it’s gonna be much bigger than an 8th scale buggy.

Sorry for that. Anyway, I personally haven’t tried it but I believe if you get raised body posts in the back you should be able to mount an aftermarket hatchback body with no issues. My gearing is 19/50 and it runs a little hot by the end of the run without fans. I suspect with fans it’d be perfect.
