Senton Senton Mega 4x4 mods

[Royal-T-aylor]

So far. Tbone front and rear bumpers. Typhon v3 shocks. Plastic c-hubs always breaks as does skid plates with stock shocks. 6500 Mah15.2 LiHv 100c battery. BLX 185 esc with 2050kv motor. Mytrickrc light bars lights. Halo red lights. Second trophy body. Venom dual charger. And second battery 2000 Mah 7.4v Lipo 20c for lights. 48p 26t Robinson racing pinion with 91t stock spur. Really looking to upgrade this spur pinion set up but can’t figure too much out right now /: just jealous my boss has a slash 4x4 with 3s Velineon (I believe) poppin wheelies... the most I got is 41 mph. If I can share more photos plus a video I’ll add it to this. All input is extremely useful please and thank you. P.S. bonus video, 45lb girl, stock tires... this thing is a monster and I mean it! Anyone feel like (haha) “sponsoring” you’d definitely be a bank saver. Will RC for parts

Awesome rig but look to upgrade to the blx slipper & HR motor mount. The blx185 motor will eat your spur & oval the holes for the slipper. You also may want to get the blx diffs as they will transfer power better. All the parts are direct drops. The blx upgrades with a 17t pinion should get you an easy 60mph on 4s. I just got a glimpse of what the future holds for this platform & it's definitely going to blow most Arrma owners away. It's pretty much going to be able to handle the blx185 system completely unmodified.

Mega. I read so many of your comments man. Just wanted to say on behalf of every Arrma/Senton owner.. thanks for being a key player in everything that we are and everything that we aim to be. I hope one day, seniority in RC falls short of reliable and financially available mods and full blown set ups. In other words, Traxxas is spendy. I’m enjoying being part of this journey with like minded people. Thanks again for the advice, if I’m able to find links to all the recommendations I’ll definitely be doing the suggested purchases.

@Megasty what do you mean by this? Just got a glimpse of what the future holds....Do you mean you’ve seen a 4S stock rig?

Not the full rigs, just some of the parts. My LHS don't like Arrma very well so they tend to let me have a look at early samples they get a hold of. I can't take any picture though. Tires for example for the 4s Outcast. But they are mostly 2.8 Backflips. I hope they do something for the Kraton tires. 2.8s of them would be useless. I also seen the Outcast bumpers, Kraton & Outcast wings, wheelie bar that will fit the Typhon, Outcast, & Kraton, front & rear hubs, drivetrain components that we already know about, & the metal diffs that were REALLY hard not to take with me. I'll try to get them next time No bodies yet, they are keeping a tight lid on them. I heard that some stores have already listed some of the parts. I'm looking into that as well.

??? oooh yeah, I better start working some overtime now to get ready lol.

Broke all four axles. Not really an upgrade but definitely a needed part in the tool box for later maintenance.

 

[hattrick300]

How did that happen?? I have broken one but not all of them..

 

[Royal-T-aylor]

Not sure if it’s because of the upgraded BLX 185 and motor with 15v or from impact on jumps. I’m running a Senton Mega 4x4 that’s got wicked upgrades. But I started to notice a wobble on all four tires after doing highway runs. Thought it was the cheap bearings. Let it go for a little longer and... two tires went rolling and the other two cracked. I also have 12 to 17mm adapters on. Maybe it was too much torq on such a small area. If that hold true. Then buying hex extensions for monster truck tires is out of the question. Let me break a few more things and if I come up with an answer I’ll definitely get back to you on that!!

I might be wrong but I think your wheels are on backwards.

 

[Royal-T-aylor]

Nope, you’re absolutely right. We had no idea that these RCs where so detailed that the tires where even directional haha! Know what’s funny. I own a corvette 1984. I only put on 100 miles in 3 years. Slowly tackling a difficult project. Well, after 3 years of slow research. I realized my rims where very specific direction
