- Arrma Vorteks 3s blx steel spur conversion. I'm switching to steel spur before running the Vorteks. Start to finish power module and slipper clutch disassembly & inspection. Then the steel spur swap!

Thank you for a great video. This helped me tremendously!
You're welcome sir 👍
@@soulrebelrc6341 Help or question. I too want to take the 3S slippedrto a 4S like you did. 4:15min in the video what plastic piece were you fighting with? I am confused if the 4S should have a brass lock nut or using whatever plastic one that comes out the stock 3S (not brass)...was that what you were pushing in. Sorry never soon one or done one yet? Did you need or use thread locker? Thx
@@ParcoUpchurch The brass bushing is on both the 3s and 4s slipper clutch. You can use a small amount of thread lock if you choose.
The plastic at 4:15 is the lock nut for the slipper
Just got a Vorteks and bought a steel gear (& slippers) for when the plastic burns out. Super helpful tip. Thank you. 🙏
Answering a bunch of questions in one video. Thank you. Subscribed🎉
Great info. I have 4 metal spurs on order with slipper pads. The Big Rock ate its composite spur and the Senton just chewed its up last run. My Vorteks came with a warped spur. The Granite is fine but might as well do it while I'm at it. I wish Arrma would just charge 10-20 bucks more for the 3s line and put the metal ones in there.
I agree with you, 3s EXB Roller would be sweet
Time to upgrade the spur gears on my vorteks and typhon 3s. I’ve been going through 2-3 a year and it’s time to take care of that issue once and for all!
I'm still using the same spur gear from when I made this video. It's def worth it.
I notice my senton wheelies more when I tighten the slipper all the way. I'm guessing because the front wheels rotating faster is why. But also I find there is less heat generated too. Besides as long as you aren't doing, massive jumps or hard off roading, you don't really need much slippage anyways.
Agreed..the trucks handle better with the slipper tightened all the way.
Great video man. Very informative.
As far as the center driveshaft bearing, they're only about $8-$10. I got one for my Granite.
Part # is ARRMA AR310878.
thank u. I had to order one for my senton because I snapped it off pulling out the power module awhile ago, I'm just curious why it was excluded from the platform?
does the granite come with a center drive?
@@soulrebelrc6341 . No it sure doesn't. It seems the shorter chassis's ,granite and now the vorteks don't come with the center bearing. I have a mega and a blx 3s granite and neither one came with that bearing.
You're rite about the shorter chassis
Rc magician! Keep going bruh
Thank you sir !
nice dude i did the same setup on my senton but i added a 26t pinion also.
That's geared up ! Nice
I got the integy steel spur in my big rock it's nice it's lighter weight has a nice design to it. Been good for a long time lol
I've been checking out the aluminum power modules.. I definitely need the aluminum yolk
What part Number is It? will it also fit the vortech?
@@phillipwaterman1 yup all 3s and 4s Arrma trucks have the same motor and spur mount and use the exact same spur assy

@@kcmullins6179 thank you I just saw this and just ordered one, now i'm looking for some aluminum shock's hard to find for the Vorteks
Nicely done!
Also you said with the 4S you add two pads, but when converting from plastic to steel on the 3S, you also add two? Sorry I wasn’t clear on that lol
When u convert from plastic to steel spur one extra slipper pad is required. There should be 4 total when using the steel spur.
Hi Sri can you put the link where to buy it and what's the brand
Wow i found this out the hard way
slipper pad ?
Fuckin same. Just fought my truck so much and gave up and put the plastic spur back in just to find this an hour later in bed realizing I need another slipper pad 🙃
Holy fuck!!!!! No hobby shop mentioned this.
ive gone through 3 steel spurs they keep slipping and popping the screw so sick of it
they should make a upgraded version of the BLX series, for like 100-150$ more you get full metal gear all the way around, spur, differential etc, and a chassis brace
its a great platform tbh
100% agree
Where did you come into this information about the extra slipper ?
The outcast 4s BLX comes with this steel spur power module set up . I just copied that
@@soulrebelrc6341 oh cool, I was wanting a steel spur for my big rock V3 which shares the same power module as the Vorteks?
@@ericdeangelis7496 exactly the same , yes.
@@ericdeangelis7496 the 4s power module is the same too minus the steel spur and extra slipper
Nick, do you have an email that I can communicate with you thru?
@@soulrebelrc6341 email sent
I just upgraded my spur to steel, installed it and drove my Vorteks and it lost tons of torque. Any ideas? Did exactly what was in the video
Make sure your slipper is tightened down. Factory setting is one and a half turns out from snug which is way to loose, but I leave mine all the way snug. You may chew up your input gear when running the slipper all the way tight but it makes the truck a beast.
Input gear? This I don't know😢
Where did u get the steel spur?

Too much unnecessary illustration of the bushing
Thanks for the advice I will definitely keep a narrow focus on what the video is about for future videos .
