I was going to take some photos of its first bash today. However, upon opening my new charger to charge the batteries.. I realised that my output is a xt60 plug , and the charging harness I have has male banana type connections. So I've now ordered a female xt60 to female banana.

Yea, should have checked. I assumed all chargers had the same banana output. I do have a harness that goes from banana into every possible connection avaliable .

Thanks for info , I'll go and check out.

Haha, I looked at your pics and thought, “man, that thing is spotless. Has it even been driven?!” Turns out, no. Great work on the opening salvo of upgrades, though! I wish I had gotten the body skids right away too.

What’s next on your list (other than the battery connections of course)?

Haha, yes it just a shelf queen at the moment. Was rather upset this morning after getting all excited to charge my batts up to only realise that I should have unboxed the charger before hand . Never mind.

I have an "upgraded" motor mount coming from China, so we will see if it actually is an upgrade.

I'm gonna run this thing before investing any more. I did wanna do the driveshafts but I'm going to see how these hold up first. And once I've chewed through these tyres ,I'll get some badlands.

They are not unfortunately. It’ll bend if you sneeze at it. The best and sturdiest mount that I’ve found, besides the $75 m2c mount of course, is the new stock 6mm mount off the 4s line and the 3s infraction/vendetta. Around 20 bucks on jennysrc.com. Horizon hobby has them also.

What shocks and servo did you use?

What shocks and servo did you use?

Zdee racing 1/8 scales shocks. They were £28 on amazon. And the servo is a jx ecoboost 30kg.

I didn't think it would be, it only cost £10.
GPM do one here in the UK that looks quite sufficient. It also come with the gearbox support that replaces the red plastic bit, similar to the m2c

Interesting, I haven’t seen that one. Good to know.
While doing all your upgrades, did you top of the differentials? You’ll also need to add more shock fluid and bleed those shocks that you got. Typically they only come half filled. Same with the differentials. Don’t forget to Loctite the driveshafts to the stub axles. Otherwise you could lose a wheel while driving.

Will this part fit the 3's line such as the Senton or different?

It’ll work for all of the Arrma 3 and 4S line. I’ve been running one on my granite, that I jump, for months now and after many nose and roof landings it’s still not bent. It really is a solid mount.
