I love my Sentons. Since buying one used from LHS I've built 2 more and bought another as a roller from @Rcproponent.
The one on the left is my beater. She's got a MMX8S with the Hobbywing 4985 motor. The middle is my Senton 8S project with an XLX2 and TP 5650 1440KV. The third is the roller I got from @Rcproponent that I've thrown a MMX8S with a TP 4050CM 2300KV in. I love the platform cause its lightweight, easy to work on, and I can get speed and power out of it. But I wanted to do a drag/extreme speed bash version so here it goes. Here are the details of what I've put together so far:
Scorched CF Typhon Chassis
Scorched Adjustable Rear Hinge Pin Holder (set to 0.7 degrees)
Vitavon diff cases front and rear
Vitavon Kraton hubs/stubs front and rear for extra width
JustBashIt +20mm hexes front and rear for extra width
JustBashit one piece extended height servo mount
Futaba S9372 servo
GP5 diffs front and rear (one shim added to each for better mesh) 1M front, 500k Rear
Speedtek RC 39T spool in the center and SpeedTek diff cups (front and rear)
Limitless towers/shocks front and rear
M2C chassis braces and rear skid plate
TLR Typhon motor mount
SFR CF flat diff cover (wish this guy was still in business)
Basherqueen CF steering top plate
Senton 6S rear bumper and Notorius/Outcast 6S front bumper with 3DRC support
GPM Mojave Front/Rear arms (needed wider stance for Senton body to sit as low as possible; makes it open wheel)
@Tex Koder Receiver Box Extension
Here are photos of what I've got so far:
Here are some pics with body. Haven't figured out how I'm going to mount it yet but I want it low and the Mojave arms help with that. I have some Senton arms also but the body would have to sit higher to have the wheels tucked under.
I figured the Senton body also gives me enough height to throw an XLX2 in her. I've got one of those slanted mounts from EBay but I was looking for a better option. The Ebay mount makes it difficult to change the center gear. I saw a mount by @chris adams and he offered to make me the one he has in his Typhon. He shipped it yesterday so once I get it installed I'll show the results.
As far as a motor I've got a couple in hand that I might try. I'm gonna run 6S mostly but I do want the option to do 8S:
-Castle 1717 1650KV (great for torque and gearing up and I can run 8S)
-TP 4050CM 2850KV (nice motor but it does get hot on 6S. No 8S option)
I really wanna try a TP SVM motor. I'm looking at a 4050-SVM 2580KV Sensored or a TP 4060-SVM 2130KV Sensored from r-mamba brushless (EBay).
If you have an suggestions please feel free to comment. I need all the help I can get.
