Bought a used Arrma Senton for the purposes of doing a speed run. Going to document this in steps. Was pretty much a bare chassis.
Replaced the bearings w/ Fast Eddy bearings as the ones in it were a hair crunchy. Replaced the front lower A-arms as they had some cracks. For now I'm using an Arrma black can motor and Mamba Monster 2 esc. Have some foam wheels on it at the moment, they came with the truck. Used the droop screws to lower the truck down and I'm running the stock body for now. Using a 17t pinion, and 2x 3s 40c 5000mah batts for 6s
I plan to do a GT conversion at some point, may use x01 parts, and a deltaplastik body.
First run got 53mph. Not bad, but it's only a 17t for the moment.
Next step will be a spool to replace the spur gear and I should be able to make some higher numbers after that. Have most of the parts in hand or should be here this week, after I get that spool built and the diffs rebuilt/shimmed I'll make another run and see where we get.
I had a problem w/ the foams, lost a chunk off of one of them so they'll be retired. Probably going to look at X01 tires or some GRP's. If anyone has some input into this, feel free.
Need to find a better gps for the speed run, Had the spare phone sitting around and used it, didn't think it would be that difficult to see the speed in it.
