Senton Still considered a senton right ?

[Fiercetatsu]

soooo I had a typhon and a parts for my old senton laying around and decided to make this, has arrma Mojave tires, I cut the body for more tire clearance and to allow the wing from the typhon to still be used. The bumper shocks work really nice but I want to get rid of the ones going sideways as they don’t do anything but I didn’t have anything else that let me mount the ones that do work to the chassi so that’s how it is for now until I make or find something else

Maybe you could use a piece of aluminum square tube or L Channel to go across. It looks awesome but the way it is now don't those shocks hit the regular shocks?
Edit : you could use a short piece of angle aluminum between the diff cover screws then angle the bumper shocks inwards mounted to the bottom side of the channel. This will have way less force on the screws.

Maybe this helps

Thank you, now that I think about I actually have some relatively light but strong aluminum L channel pieces pre cut laying around from a old gazebo, also no the shocks don’t touch bumper shocks but they would if it was any closer or if I used my Losi shocks at the front (I have Losi on the rear). Once again seriously thank you for mentioning this to me

Glad to help.

You've essentially made a Senton 6s ... without the 6s part. Technically, yes, still a "Senton".

Better question: Do you like it? Is it something you're proud of? Yes? <-- Good enough!

I’m loving it, running 20t pinion with metal spur, dual motor fans now and paired with a dumbo. Thing is much more fun than the stock senton and typhon and it still hits speeds of 52mph

Wow that's a big pinion for those tires. How's your ESC and motor temps?

esc doesn’t get hot, motor used to get warm until I added a second cooling fan, I don’t know how it will be in summer heat but I’ve been running 20t with the Mojave tires on 3s since the start of September and so far so good, I just keep punch setting down to 1 or 2 if I’m going on the street to prevent the diffs from shredding and I have the brakes set low too
