Arrma Senton 3S BLX - Shock Maintenance and Assembly

Quick video doing disassembly and reassembly of Arrma Senton 3S stock shocks. I will be upgrading them at some point soon but wanted to give them a quick cleaning and PM. Figured it might be helpful for anyone looking to do the same. Apologies for the video glitch @9:50 mark, it clears up. Not sure what happened! Hope this is vid is helpful! Give a thumbs up and sub! Thanks! #thanumgaming​ #twitch​ #affiliate​ #streamer​ #arrma​ #senton​ #3s #BLX #shocks​ #assembly #preventative #maintenance

Apologies for the video glitch @9:50 mark. It syncs back in.

Very good info. On a side note. I just noticed. If you push the shaft all the way in to the body and turn it it will open the shock tube

[@thanumgaming]

Thanks man, glad it helped. You know, I noticed that detail about them after I got done. A "derp" moment. haha Thanks again for stopping by!

There's a much easier way to remove the bottom cap and you may know this by now. @1:24 You can see that the lower spring perch has a built in piece that mates to the lower end of the shock body. You just need to compress the shock and the lower perch notches into the bottom shock cap on the shock body, and then twist to unscrew the cap. This is a really great design that has been pointed out on other channels. Unfortunately, my Vorteks doesn't have this built-in tool in the lower spring perch! So I have to use pliers to remove the lower cap.

You are correct. I did realize that after the video and felt like a bozo. haha Thanks for stopping by and checking out the vid. I just did a steering upgrade in the Senton and will be uploading that video soon.

Thanks man!

Your audio is really really low, I'd say it's 20% of what is normal. Might need a better mic, hope you create a rev 2 version of this maintenance video.

[@thanumgaming]

Thank you for the input. I have actually purchased a new microphone since then. That was with an old setup over a year ago.

Your volume is absolutely fine!

Yoooo where did you get the blue springs/caps?!

[@thanumgaming]

Hey buddy, I painted them. Cleaned thoroughly with hot soapy water, primed, then painted. The spring coils have flaked off a bit here and there due to the nature of the flex. I've since replaced the entire shock units with GPM aluminum body shocks.
