@@RoadsideRC I put 120A esc and a 3200kv brushless motor in the arrma granite voltage 2wd that truck is crazy fast on 3s I upgraded the dif cups and the axels to all metal

Awesome to see the differences a battery makes. Shame about the GPS, though. It would have been nice to quantify it, but still, wow. As an aside, I think I'm wearing the same exact Merrell boots.
Love the tryout! Thought about converting my 3S brushless to a 4S ESC, but from what I've seen, it just makes it backflip and totally uncontrollable. Maybe add several OZs of weight to the front to keep it on the ground?? Still learning and playing. I'm thinking 3S gets crazy enough for me. Even on 2S my dad's dog has a hard time keeping up, but LOVES to chase it! Too funny watching that!
Subbed, this was great. Did the driveline have any issues with 4s after this? So just blx slipper/pinion + brushless set up and you're good to go? And do you think this route is better than going to a 6s car right off the hop? Thanks!
Thanks for the questions! I did NOT do the BLX slipper and pinion. This is all still with the brushed parts. I DO fully recommend the Arrma 3S lineup. The Typhon specifically is my favorite. This truck is a little bouncy (which can be tuned) and is a little short. If you are looking for a truck, I would consider the Big Rock. 3S vs 6S really comes more down to space and exactly what you want to do with it.
@@RoadsideRC thanks so much for the advice. Great to hear the stock spur has held up. I really like the way the senton handles, does the typhon handle even better? I'm looking for more of a power slider/great handling vehicle, I guess that's the senton or typhon? Thanks, really appreciate you helping a newbie trying to gain info before purchasing.
Although a short course truck like the Senton seems like fun, 2 problems: 1) the body catches ALL of the dirt/mud/grass...making the inside of the truck a huge mess. 2) you destroy the body very fast, leading to buying more of them. Go monster truck or buggy! Instead of getting the mega brushed version, save a little more and get the BLX. It really is worth it in the long run.
@@RoadsideRC i have the kraton 6s and like it the only issue is the wing i keep breaking the screws and i was considering the senton 4x4 brushless for my son to replace the voltage.
@@RoadsideRC so you kept the 14t pinion and 91t spur and got those speeds out of it? Just asking all the questions because I’m trying to convert mine to brushless
@@Dickson219 I believe I kept all of the stock gearing, but don't 100% remember on the pinion. Good news - pinions are cheap. Run the stock one, and swap out based on your needs.
Great video on the Arrma Granite. I have a 2s brushed version and it's real slow on the NiMh stock battery. I don't have any 2s Lipo's that would work with this truck but I do have a 3s Lipo. I just wonder if the 3s would grenade the ESC or motor? I guess if it does I could go with the Hobbywing ESC like you did. Your 3s sure made a big difference. 👍 Nice run ..
My understanding is the stock motor and ESC will handle 3S - for at least a short term. Yes - it will put more strain and load on the motor, so it will die quicker. However, brushed motors rarely last long in a basher anyway.
@@RoadsideRC Thanks for the quick reply. I just figured if I was going to replace the motor and ESC anyways it would be cool to experiment with 3s on the stock brushed version. 💥
@@RoadsideRC Thanks for the quick reply. I just figured if I was going to replace the motor and ESC anyways it would be cool to experiment with 3s on the stock brushed version. 💥
Are you running a 3650 or 3660 motor in there? The 3650 motors usually have a little bit of a harder time getting the big monster truck tires turning at first. That 4s run was insane! It took it like a champ too!
Hi Just wonder, what is max S for esc? 3s? And esc sid not burn? On 4s ? Cuz My Esc wp-10bl60-rtr and it max is 3s. Wonder if Will works on 4s ? Whitout brun out anyting.
We have the Granite 4x4 Mega and keep smoking the stock brushed motors. Looks like you suggest the SC8 ESC...Can you suggest a motor to pair it with? I don't want to buy the GoolRC kit just for the motor. Thanks!!
Check into some of the hobbywing motors. You will be looking at something in that 3200kv+/- range. The numbers on the motor describe how big it is. As an example, this GoolRC motor was a 3550. 35mm diameter, 50mm long. Honestly, it is a little short for the application. A 3660 or longer gives more torque, which would be better. Instead of the SC8, you can also look at the Hobbywing Max10SCT combos. For around $120, they make killer combos!
Well for me I'm new to the RC world always wanted to get one final did got a arrma granite voltage ,wanting to.get a 4x4 ,,,how would you enter in it.?
This is the combo that would be really good in your Stampede - but is just a little over your $$$ goal: amzn.to/2N1xRKZ If you really want to stay under $100, then look at this one: amzn.to/2MtSjof It is much cheaper, but the quality seems hit or miss. I have had some really good ones, and some questionable ones.
Awesome man!! Thanks so much! Keep them videos rolling! I remember back in 1988 I bought a Futaba Fx10 and Kyosho Big Brute .. lol.. I recently picked up a Big Rock and 2 Voltages for the kids.. I can’t believe how powerful these vehicles are now.. to much fun!! Thanks again!!
I just purchased the V3 out of the box does 50mph. 3s I can’t hardly keep it in a straight line or on all 4 wheels not sure why you need faster than this.
It really is such a great truck! This one started life as a Mega, brushed version. It got a different gearing and motor/ESC setup that handles 4S. It is not as fast as yours, even on 4S.
The mega actually is pretty fast on 3s and yes it can run 3s no issues at all. I figured it couldn't but it does and holy cow it's actually really really fast lol. But I dunno how long it'll run on 3s before it gets to hot and you'll have to let it cool down but I ran mine for a good 45 mins or so on it is was a little warm but not crazy hot or anything.. I got a few diff upgrades for it coming brushless ect I may even mod it for nitro lol who knows lol
I'll have to give it a go on 3s. It should be fun while it last. Upgrading the motor and ESC is probably not that expensive and why not enjoy some extra speed. Thanks for sharing your experience.
@@RoadsideRC thank you. I currently have a Spektrum G2 3S 100c LiPo and I’ve just started getting into tricks like backflips. I was thinking of getting a second 3S battery and was wondering if I needed to go 100c again or if 50c might be enough and sake some money. (Admittedly the difference is like $10.). I know 3S is a must.
@@RoadsideRC I also wanted to ask you about your ramp. Do you have a guide for it or did you follow anyones guide? Yours seems to be about the size I’d want to make one. I only have a Granite so my needs are simple. Do you recall the rough dimensions? Is yours as tall as it is long?
It started with a swap to this setup: amzn.to/3b7Qv07 But the ESC died rather quickly, so I used the GoolRC motor and this ESC: www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=el&merchant_id=4b85b2b7-558e-4304-89fc-54958c8f47f0&website_id=caf4cba5-8e5f-43be-93b7-934f1a36d50d&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amainhobbies.com%2Fhobbywing-ezrun-max8-g2-waterproof-brushless-esc-w-xt90-plug-hwa30103203%2Fp1416724%3Fgclid%3DCj0KCQjwzLCVBhD3ARIsAPKYTcQzAx9q4Gj7ckbXVflZyE2JOyc1EQ5pMy5ddSUCJs4vCIAnkTBs264aAt3hEALw_wcB
Awesome bash! Needs a wheelie bar and then it's perfect! 4S just makes it a beast!
That is right!
Nice man 👍 I'm surprised you didn't break anything on 4s 😜 I usually strip out an axle on my BRCC when I go 4s. But it's crazy power 💪
I figured it out happen - maybe I just got lucky.
Nice jumps! That was I expected really good test
Thanks!
That was awesome can't wait to see more backflips!!!!

I do also!
This truck has been rock solid, and Inpushed it further than I should have!
Officially on my wishlist!! Nice video
It really is a great truck.
I would recommend you go straight to the BLX model instead of the mega though.
@@RoadsideRC yes. Already looked at it on Amazon! 305 $ not a bad price for 3 s brushless!@@ awesome performance ☺☺

@@RoadsideRC how would I put lights on it??
I believe there are a few light kits out there for it.

Glad it helped!
becames alive on 3s!💪🏻 but 4s is insane!🏎💨💯 great vid guys!👍🏻 very impressed😱
Thank you!
It was a blast, and really crazy to think this started as a MEGA!
Hell even on 3s it's un drivable. Unless you turn punch down or turn it to 50%
Great stuff man that thing really rips on 4S the granite just takes it and keeps on rolling
You got that right!
Love the double back ! Thanks for the video !
Thanks! It was really fun!
awesome 3s is the middle road and 4s wow really ripping on those flips

No gears got stripped?
What’s your exact setup?
Stock pinion and spur?
Spur is the stock plastic. Pinion is a 16T, I think.
