Just decided to get into RC cars a few weeks ago, bought a ARRMA Senton 3s. Been pretty fun so far, but I hated to stock design on the shell. Bought a clear one and painted it based off of the old Toyota racing scheme.

^^ thanks guys, having a blast so far although I’ve started noticing that my shocks are leaking. Need to figure out how to rebuild or replace them.

Nerobro posted:replace.... I can fully suggest the 3 racing or Yeah racing shocks. Rebuild... sure, why not. O-rings are cheap, but might only be part of the answer. Would these directly fit onto a Arrma Senton 3s blx? I've been reading up and it seems only a few types of shocks would fit without having to do modifications.

Elblanco posted:Any advice for a good off road car for a new hobbyist? I want one to drive around in the small wooded trail my family takes walks on a few times a week. Im looking into this as well, hearing good things about the Axial Capra and SCX10s as well as some of the traxxis trail trucks. Anyone with more experience able to provide some thoughts on these?

evil_bunnY posted:That new SCX10.3 kit looks great TBH, and with a brushless setup you can skip the gearbox. Any idea when this will be available? All the websites are sold out or on preorder, with the virus situation will the supply be backed up for the foreseeable future?

Ive really enjoyed my Arrma Senton, fast and super robust. Looking to maybe get a buggy or truck next like the outcast. GlassEye-Boy fucked around with this message at 01:40 on May 9, 2020 |

gvibes posted:hey all. My kids beat my stampede to poo poo, and it appears that a front shock is bent/stuck. Is there a particular seller or store or manufacturer I should be looking at for replacements? Not sure about shocks, seems like there are plenty of traxxas parts online including amazon that you should be able to find good replacements. I found ones that had the right lengths for my arrma Senton and it worked well. For toughness upgrades T bone racing makes a nice set of bumpers and upgrades for all types of vehicles including the stampede https://tboneracing.net/search?type=product&q=Stampede GlassEye-Boy fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Jun 18, 2020 |

Yea thirding this. If you want something robust, fast, and fun right out of the box Arrma is the way to go. I’ve got the smaller Senton as well as the Notorious stunt truck, both are a ton of fun to run. Really wanted the Mojave but was sold out at the time.

moctopus posted:I got to drive it and had a blast. Get a nice RC tool set. Helps out a lot when trying to do upkeep and repairs. Also a battery measure you can hook up to your vehicle that’ll let you know when you’ve hit a certain voltage, good way to keep your batteries in good condition. Also a fire proof box or bag to store lipo batteries,

T-Square posted:What’s the new hotness in stadium/short course trucks these days? Like everyone else and their mothers, I used to be pretty into RC stuff back in the day and have been itching to get back into it. I had a few different cars and trucks, but the stadium trucks were always my favorite. Can’t remember what I had about 10 or 15 years ago, might have been a Traxxas something or other but I had a nitro powered one and then later had the same exact model in electric and loved them both. Not sure if its the new hotness, but the armma short course trucks are a very good value for performance. I've got the 3S Senton and am eyeing the Mojave.

Somewhat Heroic posted:Went to the Little Sahara sand dunes in Utah this weekend for Paddlepalooza (event held by the local RC "club"). It was a good time. I put two full tanks through the VEKTA and had a blast with some friends driving big cars. I have some more clips to upload, but here are a couple easy ones. I've got the same paint job on my Armma senton.

Sloppy posted:Decided I should get a lipo bag now rather than later and now I'm seeing these Bat-Safe boxes also. Anyone used one and have thoughts? Not concerned about price, especially relative to the value of my garage. Speaking of which, I assume it's not safe to store batteries in a garage with no ac in Texas? Is it better to store them in a temp controlled environment?

Has anyone heard of or had any experience with Traction Hobby? They've got some quality looking ultra realistic rc kits. Expensive though.
