Just convert it to a Big Rock all you need is the rear body post, a LWB side guard set and the a Big Rock body. Put some ProLine Badlands 2.8 on and it would be awesome. I converted my Typhon 3s to a Big Rock. I swap between it being a Typhon and a Big Rock depending on the surface. It takes less than a hour to swap between the two.
I completely converted my Brushed Mega Granite to a 3s Brushless Granite. All the parts from a 3s BLX. Wasn’t cheap. The last thing I want to do is swap my short chassis to the long chassis. I’m assuming all I would need is the chassis and longer driveshaft.
Just converted a mega Senton to a 3s. You need the HD metal input shaft and slipper assembly. Diffs are grease filled in the mega and just need to be cleaned and filled with fluid.
It sure looked cool. I think it's great when you can experiment and reconfigure a car to they way you like it. Hopefully you get the bugs worked out. Thanks for sharing your build. 👍👍
She might have been okay if you just would have left Granite tires on her and I would definitely say go get yourself an outcast 4s if you can find one if not just wait a month I'm sure they're going to be refreshed here pretty soon
So just out of curiosity, did you swap the Spur/pinion to the 3S version? I saw the Typhon was the Mega version, the spur/pinion on that thing has a crappy ratio. Def recommend getting one from a 3s, they sell it plastic for around $50 or metal for around $75
i got my new granite 3S BLX in oct around the time the big rock came out and have loved it but might have changed my order if the big rock was in stock.lol i lick the longer chassis for high speed and the wider axles but i have had no complaints about the granite. 50.3mph outta the box but it can get away so easy at those speeds. its a skatepark superstar too. the frankentruck just isnt sure what its supposed to be.lol wheels that big but blows a rear end as soon as its off pavement?
I just got finished doing this except used 2.8 belted Trencher tyres. It looks very nice but so far I'm having trouble with stabilty, one slight wrong move and Its game over. I have some regular unbelted badland tyres, might give those a try, see if they help. Great video BTW.
Very bad financial decisions have brought me here. I've owned a Granite for 7 days. Bent motor mount, broken mount casing, bald tires, rear body almost completely missing... and then I find out that ALL replacement parts are back-ordered. Oh well! More bad financial decisions... M2C Motor mount, Pro-Line Badlands MX28 belted tires, and duct tape for the body! What's is going to break next? My guess, front arms, or steering knuckles. SO MUCH FUN!!!
Those tires are redonkulas!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I like the idea, you said you have to much $$$ in it, if you put a smaller tire on it I think it will run better and less stress on the mechanicals. I know more $$$, more problems!! 😆😆 Stay safe and bash on from Colorado!
They’re different kind of motors. There’s lots of information out there on them, but long story short, brushless motors abs typically spin faster and handle more power.
Pirate2 9116 C-Hub Spacers.... tho I have a Extra pair, I tried something else. A Insulin Syringe Cut to length and with a Wide enough Slit down it to squeeze it in (1mm or so). Works just fine. Also 4mm stainless steel machine screws are just a hair larger but still screwed in. So those are 3.5MM??? Super Glue should hold them in now. Well, lets see what the 3rd Run will bring on the Same original battery charge ( already at a good 50minute run time ) . What will fall apart this time???? 😃 😃 😃
Cool build man, I like arrma Frankenstein's 🤣 I have 2. One started life as a 3s Senton but is now a short course Kraton with a 6s power system lol. The other was a 6s Kraton but is now a outcast that's 8s capable but I'm very pleased to report they are the muts nuts matey. Both truck are way over a year old so don't look so pretty but are reinforced bash beasts, having bought any more cars since just put all my money and effort into these two here and I don't regret a thing. My short course Kraton is amazing on 3s with bald katar tyres on tarmac and off road I run badlands xtr the thing is on rails, 2050kv 6s Kraton motor with 20t pinion. I could go up to 26t but I like 20 for if I want to run 6s backflip MTs. The rear drive shafts had to be upgraded, standard one twist and snap in minutes, front shafts sho no sign of wear... A problem with running the big 6s motor is that 20t is the lowest I can go or the centre drive shaft is in the way, not really a problem if you have the right motor. All my deferentials and drive pinions, slipper ect are stock and are the same ones that came with the truck over 14 months ago. Inside the diff housings where the cup lives was bone dry so I filled it full of grease ✌
@@10thScaleGarage If you do a conversion, I'm going to do the same, lol! Already ordered my Shredder and Kailu tires from Joe, so Merry Christmas to ME, haha! 😁😁😁🥳🥳🥳
@@10thScaleGarage i have 2.8 trenchers in great condition if you wanted to work out a trade and some $ on my end. Just throwing it out there if you can't find a home for them.

Just build a Xmaxx like I am about to do these arrmas suck I break my truck every other time I drive it bs my buddy just bought a big rock and broke it the first run about to post a real video about arrma bec ppl act like there durable or something and that’s false can’t even lock tight the drive axles
@@10thScaleGarage If you ever think of selling those wheels or trade for some 4s outcast tires I have some very lightly used ones. Maybe run 3, 4 times if that
Man I think with smaller tires that thing would be sick!!! I like the fancy fancy lights haha😂 Thanks for the video guys💯
No problem-o!
"What's up Tenth Scale Squad?"
Hey, that's me!
Dang right it is!
Dude you’re having a blast, that’s what it’s all about. Love pimping my granite out, probably have too many lights on it lol
You can never have too many.

I got the shafts! I’ll put this thing back together soon.
You might as well remove body, wing, body post and make this one of those vehicles that when it flips over, it can just keep going. Lol.
Get the Big rock 3s! It's my favorite. I have all the 4s and 3s line from Arrma.

Granite wheels won't fit. This beast has 17mm hexes and the granite is 14.... You're right though. Those wheels were tooooo biiiiig
This was a great build. Looks so cool. Sorry it broke. Thought it would dominate all with those wheels and power plant. I still think it's awesome!!!.
I have metal input shafts just gotta find the time.

Yes. Granite was fully upgraded.
Man that's a wild looking build!! I hate the rear end gave out on ya but hey that's part if the rc life right?
Totally my fault. Those plastic input shafts just can't hang with those wheels.

How did you get the wheels on

Great video BTW.
Let me know! Thanks for watching
Dude, why did you use them big ass 3.8 MT tires, that's whet messed your input shaft up.
You’re absolutely right. I used them because they look cool. Haha. I eventually fixed it and put normal size tires on it and it RIPS!
+10mm hex extenders might help a bit. Replace those trenchers with backflip lp 4s and you be golden!
Agreed.
Smaller tires like the stock granite tires and a wider stance using the typhon arms
That looks goofy with the enormous wheels.😂

Looks schweet to me! what wheels are on that thing?
Duratrax Trencher x. 3.9
Those tires are killers!!!
Totally
What are the wheels 🤔
If you don’t have a ERevo I recommend it if you’re willing to do a bit of out of the box preventative maintenance and upgrades
Someday.......
@@10thScaleGarage I sold a few of my traxxas 1/10s to get my erevo, worth it
Sucks that it broke but it's pretty cool.
Hopefully it runs again soon with all 4 wheels turning and burning.
Yup. I have all the stuff to fix it. Just need the time.
Cool idea. This is what I enjoy seeing. Doing crap to your rc's because, well, I thought about it. 😆 Pure enjoyment right there.
Exactly

My eyes were bigger than my input shafts.
Love your channel! Keep up the content 👌
Thanks so much!
Get some smaller tires for it! Like the regular proline badlands or dboots backflip LP! (Outcast 4s tires)
I’ve been looking for some.
What does brushed and brushedless mean?
They’re different kind of motors. There’s lots of information out there on them, but long story short, brushless motors abs typically spin faster and handle more power.

You're the coolest.
I cant believe this is cool i wanna do it on my typhon and arrma!!!
Use smaller tires. Thank me later.
Well it was to be expected with those gigantic tires
Right? It did some epic wheelies though.
so its a Granite body on a Typhon chasse?
Kinda.
It's a granite with underglow different tires and a wing
And different chassis, arms, links, hubs, steering knuckles, body mounts, and electronics.
Build, drive, break, fix, repeat....👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾
Always.
i had to put hot racing diff in rear of mine, arrma plastic diffs are thrash
Totally
Yep I tried that with my Senton can't push the big tires😭
It’s all back together (for now) and I put smaller wheels on it.
Can you make the stance wider on the granite..
Yup. Typhon arms, linkage and driveshafts.
@@10thScaleGarage Presh....
Should have gone with the 2.8s no? I mean i get you were trying to build a monster but I think like you said its impractical
Yes...... but trenchers!!!
@@10thScaleGarage i have 2.8 trenchers in great condition if you wanted to work out a trade and some $ on my end. Just throwing it out there if you can't find a home for them.
Longer yes wider Nope
The parts are similar just longer and shorter
Now the diffs are metal those wheels may work
I put a set of the 2.8" Proline Prime's on my Typhon 3s... Amazing. 3.8" just seem too heavy for the plastic gears.. buh bye input gear.
You called it!
@@10thScaleGarage Honestly, try throwing the buggy wheels back on it or some Proline 2.8". I bet it'll do 50.
was cool while it lasted,awesome video

It does look kick ass! :)
I agree.
😂 good effort
This would be fun to play with in the mud
I was hoping to get the chance
Not sure what you were trying to do here but those wheels are obviously too big. Each car is great on its own. No need to “improve”.
I can never leave well enough alone.
1:09
vape nash?
You know it.
🙉🤦🏽♂️ Tires look ridiculous on that thing.
Right? Overkill.
That poor tiny motor and esc.
Motor and ESC were fine. It’s the plastic input shafts that couldn’t handle it.
If it’s terrible I’ll take it 😂
I have too much invested in it now!

We’re you got tire
Was that supposed to say “where did you get the tires?” If so, AMain.
Tires are waaay to big brother I'll bet it's be much better on a set of proline badland SC wheel and tire
Or the stock Typhon wheels.
