Finally I understand the use of the little lever @ 24:50 on the battery tray! That lever is absent on the 3s granite and big rock, but they left it on the 4s Mojave. Only the Mojave chasssis is much longer, and so that lever is nowhere near the power module. As an engineer, the existance of that little lever on the 4s Mojave hurt my brain. Now I understand it's purpose in the shorter wheelbase chassis and that it is simply a carryover artifact. Because of your video, I will be able to sleep tonight! Lol! 😂
Thank you. Very helpful video. I have the clicking when accelerating. I'm a big old noob, so i bought both F and R diffs, because since they're plastic, i imagine both will eventually break. I've never torn down my Granite before, and i see I'll need a longer 2mm hex for the drive shaft removal. D'oh! My diffs arrive in 9 days, so I'll have to get a driver with a long thin nose before then.
Great how to vid bro Thankx for that I really should do my 3s senton atho I do know that we input gear is plastic teeth on it. Never done the diffs just the input once. Front one. 😊
Very cool .. I need to bust mine open. Thought you might cut the relief hole for the spur gear while ya were in there and had the motor out. Should eliminate all the dirt that piles up?
I don’t believe in doing that at least where I run because too much dust in fine dirt especially at the motocross track piles up in there and eats up the gears
I was surprised the center diff in the 2.5 kraton are planetary gears.. they font use spydergears ? Or have upgrade spydergears for center ? Havnt took out front rear yet
On 3s lineup those screws that hold the differential output axles that are IN THE axle that is on the differential and idk how the hell do I reach those? You will have to buy a thin screwdriver I think or is there another way please? Screwdrivers are not cheap that I want and I’m scared to strip them out, I’m thinking to buy wera hex ones because they have an anti strip anti slip feature which is w cool. Help on how to get those screws another way.
hello, I was just doing this for myself and the video is super helpful but for the motor should the gear thats showing when you take it out spin freely or should it be difficult to push and spin?
I just got the kraton v2.5 and it only had maybe 1\4 of the diff fluid it should have, i was wondering if there was any at all in it because of hiw bad front ballooned and sounded like the frint was dragging the whole rig
Hello , back k to RC after a hiatus of life 😂. They’re so much better now , drones too , I only have a few of each , 3 , but they’re fun for me . A 1/16 hbx 16980sa has proven to be the car that got me to get a arrma Kraton 6s and rlaarlo cf onmi terminator . Today , after 5 days my Kraton 6s went weird and started restarting itself after it sat motionless while on , controller was left on as well . Had to abandon for a phone call and it was like 20 ft away so I couldn’t hear it until afterwards walking closer . I thought I needed a new servo because it would not power on normally with the sounds . It would make it half way through when it got to steering it wouldn’t finish the beeps . The servo ,str, needed unplugged for a couple seconds and now it fires up like it always has for 5 days . I wonder what caused it to lose the i itial connection and if it will happen next time I take it for a ride ? If anyone knows what causes this thanks . I do like it .mid like to be prepared so I ordered a better servo ( according to reviews ) .
Yeah . That k6s has been a really fun truck . As long as it lands on four wheels I’m guessing . I thought I would have broke something more but I ve been kcrc ramping it and the granite 6-10’ high and got them landing nice. That rlaarlo is like a China junker now compared to the arrmas speed and performance on short grass . Maybe if it was larger . It does handle really good on pavement and zippy . 4.3” tall tire’s made a huge difference in short grass . Switching back next time . Sometimes when I make a change I have to go back to stock to make sure it’s better 😂
Good Sir thanks so much for this video! As a beginner in rc I find this super helpful, got an Arrma granite around 20days ago and already stripped the rear input gear lol. I ordered the metal ones from Arrma and I lowered the ESC punch to 2. I think I should learn to drive before I do crazy stunts so my drivetrain lasts longer 😅 I have a question about the shimming on both diffs. I ordered the same that you have “ARA210007” how to tell if I need to shim or no? That’s the only thing that scares me about the installation on diffs. Anyway thanks a lot for the tutorial, I’m saving this to my rc playlist I subscribed to your channel :D
Thanks for the sub buddy normally I only shim the 6s diffs and when the differential is sitting in the housing, if there is play from side to side, when it’s fully seated, you know you need to shim it
Is there an easy to get the pin to line up and slide back in the center brace when I disconnect it it's a pain to reinstall I've tried putting a alan in to try to get the pin to wiggle it back in
I don't understand why most people when they do repairs on there cars they leave it dirty myself I always clean everything and I feel it takes no time at all to use a wet wipe or what ever to give it a fast clean before working on it or better yet after running the car
@@BarstoneRCIs it easy to oopgrded to 4s switch the diff and to something else.Alu metal part 〽️ Can I use any Arma parts to big Rock 3s 😊nice video thanks for sharing this and really good info 😊

Awesome breakdown and explanation, always more to learn! Thanks for posting this!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Those 3s diffs are why my bigrock sits in a box and waits for the maxx to get home for story time.
Good information nice video buddy
Thanks 👍
Great how to vid bro Thankx for that I really should do my 3s senton atho I do know that we input gear is plastic teeth on it. Never done the diffs just the input once. Front one. 😊
Thanks bud a lot of people really like 6s one so I put this together
this was soo helpful thanks. Now I need to buy diff fluid!
Glad it was helpful!
And I made the decision to get my outcast 6s exb. And I'm like McDonald's I'm loving it

Hello . Did I hear you say all the newer models come with steel gearing instead of plastic ?
I do believe that’s true on some models
On 3s lineup those screws that hold the differential output axles that are IN THE axle that is on the differential and idk how the hell do I reach those?

I have a set of MIP hex tools. They are long enough and best tools in the hobby
hello, I was just doing this for myself and the video is super helpful but for the motor should the gear thats showing when you take it out spin freely or should it be difficult to push and spin?
The big gear should spin freely the smal one should have a little feel to it as your spinning the motor with it.
@@BarstoneRC ok, so just to double check the big gear in the red section thing as you pull it off as in the video should spin freely?
and is it ok to just spray some WD-40 in there or no?
@@BarstoneRC i took the cover off and found what you were talking about the small ger spins fre ish but it squeks is it ok to spray it with WD-40?
@winterwof6230 yeah when it not on the pinion gear
I just got the kraton v2.5 and it only had maybe 1\4 of the diff fluid it should have, i was wondering if there was any at all in it because of hiw bad front ballooned and sounded like the frint was dragging the whole rig
It seems every manufacturer is really bad with fluids. I don’t know what it is.

I’ve had that happen before, and it kept randomly not working, and inevitably ended up being the servo

If you find one, let me know. I’m on the struggle bus every time I do that lol
Nice vid and informative.. but more importantly... If I may ask .. what is the date of the tat that you have on your wrist. Just checking..
Have Fun.
The one on my left wrist is my sobriety date in 2016 and the one on my right is the date. I beat cancer.
excellent brou. mine sober is 1-25-2013. congrats my friend. always great to hear of someone fortune. or there grateful moments. lol Have Fun
@readeracing750 congratulations on yours also buddy
My question is can I use 20k in both front and rear. For just bashing around in grass and small jumps
Yeah
@@BarstoneRC I got some 30k. So now what? 30k in the front and 20 in the back?
@JonWatters-dg7ku yeah thicker in the front
@BarstoneRC thank you much for taking the time to respond to me. It is much appreciated
What fluid are you using in each diff?
Front 40k rear 30k
What weight fluid are you running in the center diff?
50k
Do you mean 500k? I believe that's stock.
Sorry yes half million basically
@BarstoneRC where tf is the center diff?
@TubsOnWheels101 3s doesn’t have one
I don't understand why most people when they do repairs on there cars they leave it dirty myself I always clean everything and I feel it takes no time at all to use a wet wipe or what ever to give it a fast clean before working on it or better yet after running the car
Can I use white lithium grease?? Vegas Paul here.
I used it for quite a long time. I never had any issues.
Wish I saw this video before I removed the 3 diffs from my kraton 4s v2.5!!
I just now had to replace a diff in mine 15 hard months lol
I have the Arrma Big Rock 3s , ive noticed most that have Arrma's don't show or talk about it
They’re a great line of cars. That’s why I’ve tried to put a couple videos out on maintenance on these things and the differentials.
@@BarstoneRCIs it easy to oopgrded to 4s switch the diff and to something else.Alu metal part 〽️ Can I use any Arma parts to big Rock 3s 😊nice video thanks for sharing this and really good info 😊
How r u feeling this morning?? It's going to be a good day today for bashing or wrenching 😂
Well, I got a head to the airport in a couple hours and head out for work so unfortunately that we know bashing or wrenching lol
Dude, put down the pipe!
What pipe? I don’t have a pipe, but maybe I should find one?
