@Thomas P, AWESOME!!!!
Are you gonna put a radar gun or use a speed app, to see how fast it goes?

I've never seen those two rods on the body post before. Are those there to help keep body post from breaking?
And, did you make the splitter for the batteries yourself?

 

[TpPartsRcXtreme]

@Blxer il put the old Iphone4 in it ...

The top braces are for helping tje chassi and tower not to break.

Spliter?, the DEAN conection you mean?, yes i did..

 

[Blxer]

You did a awesome job, on the whole vehicle. I wouldn't be surprised if you started getting asked, to fabricate the battery trays for others.

Have you thought of ways to keep the front end down, with all that power?

to fabricate for others is no problem..will do a good form, mine was just a quick test, made of old lipo boxes, and then applied the fibre and polyester and so on.

Il be lowering the wheeliebar..actually since i got twice batterys and sligjtly forward..it is nice to controll. Thank you for the warm words, this makea me go forwars in this hobby..still after 33 years i lovet more

nice mods on that Granite @Thomas P . I agree on the extra weight on the front end. you can probably fabricate something easily above the servo using your top braces you added in and the front shock tower to keep it in place.

New 6s movie...tighter slipper...omxg..cant describe how power full this is..awsome to drive..easy on throtle is a MUST

 

[Blxer]

@Thomas P, I see a 6cell/8cell NIMH battery in your granites front end, in the near future! Crazy power!
Thanks for, taking us all along for the ride.

[Blxer]

@Thomas P, do you need a steel spur gear?

 

[TpPartsRcXtreme]

Now I know if I ever want more then 3s imma have to get a blx transmission case.

I can tell by the metal input shaft that you have all metal gears... all ths bls and megas come with plastic.

Good work on the trays. What did you do with the space ftom the original battery space? Is it open room?

Your arrma granite looks like it could be the first rc I have seen to do a front flip.

Kinda jealous that you have an areas
Near you that would allow paddel wheels... all I have are empty parking lots

Thx mate .

Its a raider chassi so there is no room between sterring bulk and lipo tray.

Im just in the middle of the suspension conversion..left to do is 12mm hex

Before the conversion

Ackerman

Mounted

Rear end before

New rear end mounted: DESC210 + Bigbore shocks

New front end mounted: DESC210 + Bigbore shocks

Done, front carbonfibre shock tower mounted 2.5 AE CF

The thin to do now is 12mm hex, glue some SC Proline Badlands on Fury gunmetal rims and paint a new lid

 

[TpPartsRcXtreme]

For a strange reason left cvd bearly goes into the diff outdrive...letting my friend cut, extend 3mm and weld them together....

 

[TpPartsRcXtreme]

This problem with the CVD are solved, my friend that welds all days long, extended them 3mm...working awsome so far.

Twin Arrmangos

What can i say..even if the ARRMA Granite is a real good truck it went out far better with the DESC210 sispension fron and rear + the bigbore shocks running 32.5 in the front and 45 rear..truckload of adjustment on the suspension. It handles very very good..
