Hi Folks,
Just thought I'd share a bit about the upgrades I've put on my Granite 3S BLX since I bought it a little over a year ago. I've bashed it pretty hard and just about everything has broken at one point or another. With each replacement I've looked for an upgraded part, and now it's more of a GINO or perhaps a Granite EXB, your choice.
List of Upgrades:
1. RPM A arms front and back
2. Hobbywing Max10 SCT ESC Combo with 3660SL 3200kV Sensorless Motor
3. GPM aluminum drive shafts
4. 25 Kg Servo
5. Steel slipper clutch gear
6. Hot Racing metal diffs with steel outdrives front and back
7. ProLine Trenchers with 14mm aluminum mounts
8. Typhon 6s Shock Set
9. Hot Racing adjustable motor mount
10. Rubber Sealed bearings on diffs, motor mount, and wheels.
There may be more in the future. Who knows?
This was my first car after getting back into the hobby last year. I took my son to the hobby shop to get some games and ended up with an RC car. I've since become an Arrma fanboy and have a Typhon 3s, Mojave 6s, and Notorious. I love the others but as they say, you never forget your first, so even though it's been on the shelf for a bit I keep coming back, fixing it up, and running it some more. Love this hobby!
The last thing I replaced were the motor and ESC. The ESC was acting up and I just decided to get the combo. It's been on three great bashes so far in it's current state with zero breakage. I'm sure something is going to go at some point but until then, I'm going to keep pushing it, lol.
Anything else to consider? I'm wondering if I can run 4S in it since the entire drivetrain is metal and the MAX 10 SCT accommodates 4S. Anyone have experience with that?
Thanks for reading. If you have a question, fire away.
