Awesome video man! You should do a follow up im curious if you ever had to change some gearing or how it held up overall and if there was breakages due to the bigger tires. I just got a deal on senton I’m definitely making this mod can’t wait !
Howdy B ! Great run here with the granite tires, seems like there's more stability and like you mentioned more power as well, and they make the truck look more beefy as well, awesome run, thanks for sharing brother ! 🤙🏻
Hey Mel hope all is well, thanks for watching brother, I hope to have some more heli content soon the 70s turned out to be a dud hasn’t flown right since I got it, may do a review on it not sure yet
@@rcreviews9894 hey B, good hearing from you ! Things are okay so far, there was a weather system passing through here so my heli has been in the hangar for a couple of days now lol. See you around brother 👍🏻
Yeah those tires really wake the truck up! Lol gear changes can be a pain, especially if your not sure if your gonna always run those tires, 75% sounds like a good idea just keep an eye out for your motor temps, thanks for watching 👍
I did this to my Senton 2 weeks ago and it's a much better truck. Like you said, transformed it. I also geared it down to 15t which made it a wheelie beast. Thanks for the vid bro. 🔥
@@rcreviews9894 Did you change the pinion when you put the bigger tyres on? Mine wouldn't run with the 20t that's standard for the Senton. I went to a stock Big Rock 15t and it's perfect.
@@rcreviews9894 Stock is 20t. I've dropped to a 15t but it's winter here so no heat issues either way. Looks to be going sweet on the stock set up, was just curious 😁
Arrma Vortek tyres will give the same effect and are nearer the size of the stock wheels and the vortek uses the same gearing as the senton with the same drivetrain so may help with overheating if it happens with these
Looks like it runs great with the Granite tyres. I did think about doing this to mine but I think it ends up pretty much like my Big Rock with Granite tyres. Also I have the inner fender set on my Senton and I don't think that they accommodate the bigger tyres. I have stiffened up the suspension on my Senton and drive it more like a rally car. You probably want to go down to the 15t pinion if the motor is getting hot. Anyway, nice demo :-)
Yeah definitely gonna have to gear down the esc gave me a fault the other day and the truck completely stopped working, it got too hot, not to mention it’s a 100 degrees outside, it really is a totally different truck now! I actually like it lol, it back flips off the ramp with ease, before I would have to gun it full throttle on launch and in the air to barely squeeze out a back flip and sometimes I wouldn’t even get a full rotation, now I have to take it easy on the throttle or it will over rotate, glad I did it I’m gonna leave it like that and get some new tires for the granite, thanks for watching 👍
The Big Rock tires on the Senton also wake the truck up. I had a set lying around and after watching your video I threw them on. I no longer have buyer's remorse 👍
They definitely wake up the Senton, just be aware that you will have to trim the body to make way for the bigger tires and keep an eye on the motor temps, you may have to gear down a tooth or two 🤙
So what is your favorite Arrma to drive.? Im new to the hobby and looking and getting a senton or a mojave for first arrma. Nice vid, thanks for info👍🏼
My best senton is my senton typhoon combo 4s set up so I use the setup on the typhoon with senton shell so if you have senton only all you need to do is change it from 14hub and drive shaft to a 17 and then a tire plus don't forget when changing out a set up or tire sizes CHANGE your motor gear size to keep Temps good no one seems tell people
Yeah it definitely depends on how you run your truck too, if your full throttle all the time like me lol, yeah you may want to keep a close eye on temps
HELP! I'm new to RC and have the Senton 550 and also got the Senton 3s. If I put the Granite tires on my Senton, do I HAVE to regear? What else changes?
I have a 4076 motor and castle 6s esc in my senton with a 22 tooth pinion and a 6000 mah battery, and have no heat issues even without a cooling fan, I've got a set of these tires and are waiting for 12mm hex adapters in the mail. Do you think with the new tires my motor is going to heat up quick? It's a 50 60 mph beast it just has no traction on those shifty stock tires
Wow, sounds like you got that thing souped up and ready to rip! Bigger tires could cause motor temp issues, the granite tires are much larger than the stocks, just keep an eye on it, if it does overheat come down one or two teeth on that pinion 👍
*update, the granite tires exploded. it ended up having no heat issues however the diff exploded and i had to end up replacing both due to the fact the diffs were 42t not the updated 37 that i had bought
Well it’s kinda hard to tell since I’m not there to see it but there could be a number of things, are you running bigger tires than stock? Is the servo centered out when you installed it, are your end points set correctly?
@@rcreviews9894 stock tires did not know u had to center it u center it b 4 or after u install it n how do i center a servo also not sure what r points
@@10krms54 people say that their servos always go out, I own all of the Arrma 3s line and none of them have had a servo go out yet, not to say that it won’t happen because eventually it will, with that being said I have never changed out a servo on a Arrma before, I have changed out some on my Traxxas Rc’s, and the way I do it, is turn off the tsm center out the trim and then mount the servo, tires straight and centered out, there are videos on TH-cam on how to set the end points with your radio but that is done after install to insure that your are not over extending the servo, thus causing it to wear out quicker
By default the Senton will bust a wheelie every now and then, not wheelies on command but with the granite tires it wheelies for days, it jumps better on the ramp too 👍
@@Evan-rq2ee well I can’t remember what the stock gearing is on the Senton, what I would suggest is to just gear down the pinion by one or two teeth and you should be good to go👍
Tried running the tires on my senton 3 s and truck won’t go with the bigger tires on it. Acts like the battery is dead and then stop. Truck runs fine on the stock tires
@@matthewxramirez no I actually haven’t ran the truck in a while. But never did figure it out. Tried asking the company and they wouldn’t help because it wasn’t stock tires
@@ddemai have you guys tried gearing down? Maybe the esc is overheating, when you switch to the granite tires does it run awhile and then quit with a red blinking light?
@@rcreviews9894 haven’t tried it, but it doesn’t run long enough to get hot. Off the ground it’s fine set it down won’t move goes about a foot and acts like the battery died. Stock tires is fine no problems at all
@@ddemai well that’s gotta be it then, the esc can’t handle it, kinda strange, mine ran fine, obviously as you saw in the video, other people have suggested running the Vorteks tires instead because apparently the Senton and Vorteks are geared the same, I would have to look into that to be sure but it sounds legit, I would recommend if you do want to continue running the granite tires, maybe go down a tooth or two, just to be safe
Brother there not granite wheel and tyres they are arrma copperhead 2 wheel and tyres the tread pattern is nothing like the granite and you can see the copperhead print on the side wall
@@rcreviews9894 you have not made this any easier for me to choose!!! I think an Arrma product for sure, just am trying to decide which 🤣😎. It was a useful video though 👍🍺🇬🇧

I’m running pro line street fighters on the Senton for street
Thanks, the Senton was underwhelming to me at first but by just by changing out the tires, it handles a whole lot better👍
I have kinda turned my senton into a kraton. I changed my tire out to proline trenches. Love the video
Thanks🤙 brother!
Good info bro.
Apreciate it! And thanks for watching 🤙
Hey man just tried it out on my senton, and its a blast🤗 but i would rather just run the truck on 75% mode then swapping to a 15t pinion
Great vid BTW

That’s it… I was debating the Senton vs the Granite vs the Big Rock but seeing this video leans me to the Senton (with upgraded tires).
Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of those, they are all good trucks, fast, wheelies on command and durable👍
The Big Rock tires on the Senton also wake the truck up. I had a set lying around and after watching your video I threw them on. I no longer have buyer's remorse 👍
Yeah it really makes a big difference, it’s a totally different truck now 👍
What made u get buyers remorse before the new tires?
I just got the SENTON. Now I want to get those tires ...asap

Hey brother how ya been, I haven’t been able to run my Rc’s like I want to it’s been so hot 🥵 have you thrown a brushless system in that 3.0 yet?
@@rcreviews9894I'm good, been on a little break from RC'S and youtube. Probably be back to messing with them this week sometime.
So what is your favorite Arrma to drive.? Im new to the hobby and looking and getting a senton or a mojave for first arrma. Nice vid, thanks for info👍🏼
My over all favorite is the Typhon, fast, good off-road and on the ramp!
I run my witg granite tires and it runs great
Do you guys have the actual aarma item number for the 15t pinion ? Looked at amzn and too many options. Thanks
U should try to put the big rock tires on the senton or better yet on the granite
My best senton is my senton typhoon combo 4s set up so I use the setup on the typhoon with senton shell so if you have senton only all you need to do is change it from 14hub and drive shaft to a 17 and then a tire plus don't forget when changing out a set up or tire sizes CHANGE your motor gear size to keep Temps good no one seems tell people
Sounds like a cool setup 🤙
If I got the senton first I would not have a 4s Kraton.. but I will be getting the Mo..
I did it to my Senton and I love, looking to do some more upgrades, any suggestions?
You may want to adjust your gearing for one, front and rear sway bars would definitely help out as well
I ran my senton with redcat volcano tires and wheels without regearing, but I wasn't doing speed runs either.
Yeah it definitely depends on how you run your truck too, if your full throttle all the time like me lol, yeah you may want to keep a close eye on temps
HELP! I'm new to RC and have the Senton 550 and also got the Senton 3s. If I put the Granite tires on my Senton, do I HAVE to regear? What else changes?
Yes if you add bigger tires it is always best to gear down or you could over heat the motor, thanks for watching 👍

It will have the same effect as more gear.

Did you change the pinion mine overheats the motor with a stock 20 tooth I want to be able to do backflips but not fry my brushless spectrum motor
Yes, definitely gear down if you experience heating issues, go down a tooth or two on the pinion
Ya just picked up a 16t pinion
hey you got a link on the exact size and make and model of the tires that you put on yours?????
No I’m sorry, all I can say is go with the stock tires on the granite, that’s what was used in this video hope that helps🤙
Do you need to change hex adaptors or do they change over stock ?
No you can just change them stock

@@LRSTUDIOCREATIONS 👍
@@rcreviews9894 I've fitted them today , amazing
@@LRSTUDIOCREATIONS nice 👍 keep an eye on motor temps, if it runs hot, gear down the pinion a tooth or two
Does it need spacers to run the granite tires
No but if you are using the original body you will have to trim it down around the tires so they don’t rub the body
How did you get it to pop wheelies ?
By default the Senton will bust a wheelie every now and then, not wheelies on command but with the granite tires it wheelies for days, it jumps better on the ramp too 👍

Granite tires r a blast they balloon but it’s a thrill , I have sum belted all terrains on it that are nice more control .
Do you need to change the gearing for the granite tires?

I have the arrma senton mega
128 mm I’m trying the Powerhobby Raptor 2.8 Belted All Terrain Tires/Wheels 14mm
Definitely harder on the parts like the plastic driveshafts and drivetrain
