Senton V3 just 15 minutes of fun ?

[ho lee chit]

Got the senton 3s v3 today then this happened

Guess what? Tyres are on backorder.
These are the things that make it difficult to love arrma.

Anybody know a good alternative that holds up for several packs?

Did you vent them?

??, well arrma was extremely pleased with their selves when they announced that the v3 come with vented tyres instead of the rims

Back to the drawing board I guess

Are you running on concrete/asphalt? I had to buy street tires for that sole purpose, and I run the GoolRC tires on factory Senton rims for grass/dirt. I used a glue gun to plug the rim holes and I do not have vented tires, full WOT upside down and tires barely pizza cutter.

Back order is horrible right now but so is everything. I would like to see the replacement tires be made a little better. I like the senton tires but the foams and rubber aren’t very good, they are grippy and good looking new but that’s about it they seem thin for tires. The rims are probably as strong as solid rims. If they make the lugs any bigger they would be proline badlands. I don’t understand why the senton tires can seem so bad while I’m obsessed with the granite tires they are basically the same just different sizes.

I was running in the woods. Not really crazy since this is my first sct. I didn't really expect that an sct runs that much different than outcast 6s, kraton, X-maxx. The senton oversteers so much more, kind of tail wiggling puppy

I wish my senton had oversteer...Mine was a plow

I am still waiting for my Senton backordered replacement tires after I did exactly what you did. They are warrantying them which is nice,.. but won't expect too much from the new ones once they get here.

Strange, I had to turn down steering rate by 75% to make it more controllable


I'm eyeballing the louise mft st-hummer 14mmhex 1/2" offset

 

[Jason537]

That looks like a 2.8" tire,.. I have a set like that Duratrax lockup ST and I blew the side walls because they have no bead protection and the sidewall rolls.

I believe it's a 2.2" tire since the website says 56mm. The Louise is taller, original is 104 mm, louise 119mm. A bit too tall I guess

These might work

You are linking 2.8" Stadium Trucks tires, they tend to have a thinner outer sidewall and larger outside diameter,.. this is the link to Short Course tires that are 2.2"/3.0" http://www.louiserc.com/products?b_size=12&sort_on=sortable_title&sort_order=ascending&p_category=SHORT COURSE&p_subject=&

The tire on the left is a 2.8" ST tire, the 3 on the right are 2.2/3.0 SC tires

So it might be better to convert to 12mm hex for a better choice of tyres

Yes, way better tire and rim selection with 12mm and 1/2 offset.

My lhs came thru and got me a wheel from one of the trucks in his inventory!

 

[ho lee chit]

I guess the tire was not the only thing to blow ?

Jay! Jim Lewis is the man!

Awesome dealer to do that for you.

Traxxas bearings also work for the spindles #5120 and #5117

Use the 12mm conversion. Always get the 2.2/3.0 as @Jason537 mentions. Look for SC, not ST when searching.
