Good one Tomely. That's awesome. So many people complain about the Granite rolling over all the time. This seems like a great upgrade. Thanks for including the part numbers. 👍👍
Nice build. I used the arms off of my wide big rock. Not as wide but noticeably wider with better handling than out of the box. Great channel! Great content! 🫡
It close to a notorious V1 4s. The Arrma mega/3s platform can be transformed into any style with a mix of components. I’ve been doing this since I got into the hobby about 5 years ago. What a flash back thank you for sharing 😄🍻
Fantastic build, Phil! Looks great indeed! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks for adding excitement back into Rc creation ❤
Very cool Phil! Came out great. I just widened my sketer and can now run the backflip LPs on it
Nice build !! Love it… very creative.. 🤘🏽
I love my Granite! Bought it in 2017 before it was brushless and converted it. A few months later the BLX came out and I suddenly had 2 Granites…. I’m excited to see this conversion but I had a blast with my Granite at the skate park and on road and never had a issue with it tipping over constantly because I know how to drive. Other than the Redcat MT 10 it is my toughest 10 scale MT. I would suggest for most a half inch or inch wider to really make it perform better and the 4s or proline shock upgrade. Nothing is as tough as the Team Redcat/Redcat MT10 though at the skate park once the servo saver is upgraded.
Love this build Phil! Looks like a really good time!!
It drove so nicely. Just need to get that suspension tuned
@Tomley RC love the build man! Awesome stuff...having bashed around with it, you think the ZD racing shocks are the best option? Wanting to do this to my Vorteks
Great video many thanks 👍👍👍👍
Really awesome build dude 🔥🔥🔥
Again, great video looks badass. The skate park edit was spot on with music in the background, and you can hear the wide beast. Like when you can here the RC with the music.
I hope the win
Have a good week
Thanks mate. Really appreciate the feedback… music and montages are always hard to get right
That's awesome Phil, love my granite, probably my most used rc next to my capra. Mine also has wide arms but not as extreme as yours, lol. Great video, thanks for sharing. John
This is a fun project and you created a truck that will be difficult to roll over on sharp turns. That is a big plus when you're by yourself. Very creative.
That modification is absolutely worth it for the smiles and fun! Keep dialing in the suspension and travel then bash away. I was smiling the whole time you drove it. Now remember, you can take turns much faster now so a race may need to be in a future video.
I'm still using the 4S V1 drive shafts. Maybe that is why I don't have the rubbing you do?
Replacing the 3S parts that usually fail with stronger 4S parts makes the modification a good one. I use mine 5 days a week. With regular preventative maintenance it just keeps going. The poor thing regularly hits hidden stumps, wash out ruts, and bricks hidden in grass. I drive it up street curbs at an angle a lot too. The truck keeps on going.
Yes, I do get paid to do this. It's nice to get away from the desk, go outside and drive the R/C truck. You get to clear your head and come back into the office in a better frame of mind.
You get paid to use an rc car
@@marktsarenko3943, yes, a portion of my job is to use a modified Big Rock (this super wide alteration) along with a Proboat Aerotrooper to deter geese from areas rented out for events. This practice is endorsed by the Humane Society and PETA. I also register every year with the Department of Fish and Wildlife.
@@JkDSnake that’s pretty sick lmao
granite was my first rc car. and still probably my favorite. the senton is also really fun as well. well done. really is a great platform.
Wicked creation!
That morphydite is sick! I want one. It looks like a flying squirrel in the air all spread out. Great idea and awesome vid
Thanks for such an awesome video
I think i'll do this to my granit too
This is exactly what my Arrma Krayon is (Typhon Mega Hybrid) I would just need full offset wheels.
Definitely makes for good stability👌
Noice 😎👌
I love the way Arrma parts are interchangeable. That's a great feature.
Did you ever tune the suspension? Ive done this to my big rock with v1 kraton 4s arms, used same zd shocks, and I put 3000 cst oil in. Perfect 👌
Awesome project! It looked so plush!
Cheers dude
I thought about doing this to my granite a long time ago. Love that thing. Mine is quite upgraded and is now 4s.
Awesome video. And apparently you're a good luck charm. My 2028 1700 turned up at the same time you posted this. Its like an RCgasm today
Haha… nice
Get the shock towers from the v2 outcast should help in the travel. Cool build!!!👍😎
I think your onto something here. She stays nicely planted . What a fun little rig.
Hey whats up!! love the channel, just wanted to reach out and say thanks for all the content quite amazing! I was wondering though, with a setup like this i wonder if there is a way to get a wider shock tower so you can mount 2 shocks per arm? would be awesome to see!!
Great truck, nice build. Just to be clear, those measurements on your purple table mat are centimeters, not millimeters 😊. Keep up the great vids!
Haha… oh yeah 😂… it would be pretty small if it was in mm
Nice ! I like that . Look's fun .
Thanks 👍
I was disappointed with the way the Granite always rolls over, unlike the big rock. Another great video ‼️ 👍👍🤘🤘🦾🦾
This one doesn’t haha
@Tomley RC 👍👍🦾🦾
Love the MCM reference 😂
😎🤘
I did the exact same thing with a Mojave EXB using A arms from a V3 Talion, worked a treat
Turned my into a big rock wide and I love it the front sag was kinda clean
You get a thumbs up just for your “in the bin” reference!
I’m a long time follower but that just topped it off sir👌 😂👏
Love the MCM clip :P
Just have to add the 4S upper diff housings to get the taller towers. Then the longer shocks will fit this better. I did this for a customer on his Big Rock and went with all the arms, shocks and upper bulkheads to make it work well!
The MCM reference was good😂 little nod to us Aussie’s
Awesome 👌🏾
Awesome stuff. If it works it wasn't stupid. The Monster Beetle has a similar issue when the suspension is fully extended. Referred to as juddering.
Yes… not perfect with those long arms, but still loads of fun
Daaaamn that looks awesome!! I'm doing this to my vorteks right away!
Would the stock shocks that come on the kraton/outcast be a good choice, or better to get the one you left in the link?
I love that you watch mighty car mods 😊
Nice rig mate!!! I had the same drive shafts problem with some other cars, I wanted More ground clearence, so i went for larger shocks, in my case It was metal diff cups and driveshafts but still, the problem comes in the joint of the diff cup with the driveshaft, I been thinking maybe if I make the diff cup shorter It could work, in your case i dont know mate cause those plastic driveshafts seem to be actually touching the a arms, so maybe you could try some metal ones, much More thiner than the plastic ones, any way It looks great Man cheers, happy weekend!!
actually a cool build
Great Mighty Car Mods appearance!
Hello
What a great mod to a very good locking rc.
Peter
Question did the inner axels fit on the granite diff with out any added parts?
It’s cool I like it. You should do the wing conversion and add the Traxxas roof skid plate. Then maybe try to find some solid cv axles shafts to be safe. Also I thought about doing the 120 amp esc and 4s motor setup too. Now what would be wild is if you could get some kind of trailing arm sand rail like stretched out the back setup so the rear set back further and was more reactive with like a solid axle. It reaches the price point though that maybe then I should just by a different RC lol 😂. That’s very cool though. Try some big wide street tires and a 4s though. Might fly.
Maybe Granite 4s ‘Wide’ could be a summer project 👌
LMFAO I love the MCM snip 0:44 hahahahahahaha
Omg man that looks crazy, 🤣. Pretty cool.
So cool! Love this Widebody! ^^
Also im definitely entering the raffle and buy a few Tickets like i did before :)
Good luck dude 👌
Thx :D
I want to do the same upgrade to my granite looks awesome tomley.
That’s brilliant! Way it lands is awesome… try it round a bmx track see how stable it is
Awesome build! You put that Granite instead of the speed demon for the raffle and I'll enter! Have no use for on road stuff unfortunately.
Really wondering how a big rock might perform with these mods.
Hey @tomleyrc , would all these parts be compatible for the Granite Voltage??
Hi buddy about 2 months ago I broke my V2 4s kraton chassis in half and it was just normal bash and are still unable to get a new one in Australia so I put a big rock chassis in it. it's only 27mm shorter than the kraton chassis to this day it's stood up to hard bashing like my big rock so it's staying like that I call it a rock kraton as always buddy your videos are awesome cheers 👍👌🤙
that is awesome Phil its like a cheap tekno mt410 now lol very awesome looks like ya need a bit shorter shock throw id use some rc nitro fuel line on the shock shaft inside so they cant extend the whole way. I have tose same shocks on a ofna hyper7 electric conversion i did and no matter how tight the spring rate was way to sofe so i mixed up a batch of some 60wt shock oil and some 10k diff fluid there perfect now lol
Yeah, maybe needs a rework. They don’t seem to be as beefy as they look
Absolutely epic 😂
This is awesome. Might be buying a vorteks blx from a customer, might have to do this
Vorteks is a really nice platform
🙋🏻♂️ Hello there Phil
I'm love the video and what a great and nice car man 👌🏽and I'm also really ✊🏽 happy for you yes yeeeees yeeees 😄 great video again and I thank you for that, thanks.
I do this with all my basher style trucks. The wide stance looks meaner and performs much better when landing jumps and flips.
I been thinking about making a off rod infraction 8s. Use the fireteam parts on it but keep infraction chassis do i can put each battery in each side will it work
Dam. I thought I was doing something when I put Typhon arms on my senton😢. Awesome build
Pretty Awesome.
This thing is sick! nice build! I say let it eat til it actually breaks.
Send it 😎
Love it, awesome build, wonder what it would be like on paddles on sand, and whether it would be any good as a "pond skipper" (Bit like Cleetus did with the Xmaxx but not at sea ! )
I’m sure sometimes you have some kind of mind reading skills. Or you have seen my ideas book 😅
@@TomleyRC no, no spy intel, just a similar mindset, and a fairly decent knowledge of you and the types of things you find fun. (Plus we do watch similar non RC channels, so....)
will it come with batts and a transmitter?
Just bought a few tickets. Fingers crossed lol
I hope this is a trend I had a 6s typhon that was wider than it was long so much fun !
I've done exactly the same with my senton accept the tyres................I used ones from Mojave. Good build Phil .......
The soft suspension is the leaky weaky shocks. I run the same on my BigRock just for extra height. Tuff but lots of oil and ur good.
That rig looks like a giant spider LOL ! One thing is sure with this wide rig. It will never make a side rolls . Freakin' cool Tomley
Hey mate what dod you think of the wheels ? I was thinking of using those on my bigrock
That will be a great Birthday gift 🎁, but mine won't be a few days after you announce the winner. I always love the channel and keep up with the great content.
That's awesome
awesome looks like a green bug with powa under the belly
Can you use the same pots for the Arrmar vortex 3s ??? 😊😊
Love ‘wide’ done this to my tamiya DT AND konghead so much more usable
That is bonkers , definitely should be made to buy
Will this upgrade work on other ARMA Monster Trucks.
@0:45 Can't believe Tomley knows Mighty Car Mods
Been watching them for years…
Hi all, I have been out of the RC scene since the Grasshopper was new, the first time around 😬🤣, can anyone recommend any forums, where I can learn and ask questions please? Thanks 👍😊
This gonna be my next build
Gunn throw some at it payday see if it sticks lol. Loved that nascar
Great Job!
Question,
It’s probably just the language difference. When you say 47 mill do you mean CM?
Love your videos.
Thanks
G.
It's like a mini Outcast!
Man I wish I could win something but I'm not gonna even try but love the video bro I'll be able to to try this build soon thanks
Hey. Can i use this on my Granite blx 3s the v1? Nice Video Man!
Just got a few chances on the Infraction, fingers crossed.
those ZD racing shocks are super money once you swap out the plungers. i love 'em use 'em on all my ARRMAs as spares
If it looks stupid but it's fun, it ain't stupid.
I'd be worried about the long arms letting the bottom of the tires go higher than the bottom of the body, let it plough into the ground on landing. Have you considered bump stops? Maybe O-rings on the shock shaft to limit compression?
But the turn-in demo on the skate park looked amazing. That thing must be a rock.
I may do this to my bigrock v3
Dang I should really enter to win for that sweet hotrod. Just because I never win, and it seemed like you were talking to me there...lol
I've tossed this idea around for so long with my big rock. It's awesome you have all the parts listed needed for this. And I LOVE Jenny's RC
All of my Outcast 4s parts will be delivered tomorrow for my big rock 🎉
Phil it would of been fun to see it run with jus One Side done or just the back 😂
I recon that would be sick on a bigrock too
