I was hesitating between Senton and Tenacity TT pro. Got Tenacity. But it does not have a dust cover. But the more I watch about Senton the more I'm so happy with my choice.
Scorched RC makes a liner for under the body that does a great job on keeping crap out. Also put a center diff from the 4s Mojave in it... totally different Truck!
I just made a cover for the gap in the steering link area out of abs plastic and a little gorilla duct tape. Now no larger stones can get it there. Nice video by the way!
@@AJJAMStudios let me know how I can send some pics. Finally went out to test it and it worked so far but I broke my first suspension arm, haha. Now I'm looking into the ones you used.
Cool channel! Your right, everyone has there favorites, mine is depending what my mood is and where I’m driving. I personally didn’t like the senton and converted it to a hybrid typhon. But yours seems fun with your setup. May like it if I had one set up like yours? Great video!
Right on! I appreciate your view on the Senton. It is a bit skittish and squirrelly but it has its charms. Being light and way too fast for it's own good, makes for a challenging car to drive, yet, it really gets the old adrenaline up. Awesome!!! Thanks for subbing. AJ
Super good tip & point I’m definitely going to try different oil weights in my bashers. I still see people complaining that there RC didn’t come with shock oil. 😂 Cracks me up everytime. I used to think they came filled already. 😊
First time watching, this is a very well put together video, with what I consider a well views opinion. You mentioned it rates #11 in general out of the cars you own it you also mentioned you own larger cars before that. Out of your 1/10 cars only where would you rate the Senton? I considered this review to be high in rankings, it’s up there with the old Jang from URC reviews quality in my opinion. I sub’d
The RPM arms definitely will break, for instance, if you hit a metal stop sign pillar at 25-30 MPH. Only half of the arm broke, and i just repaired it with globs of thermoplastic beads melted around it.
I had senton mega went to 2s brushless setup. It was breaking left and right. Input shaft broken . Stripped spurs left and right. Leaky shocks. Melted the driveshaft by a piece of twig rubbing. Servo would always jam up with rocks and get locked up. Once I fixed all that I threw a net around the chassis to stop debris.
I have no idea how you didn’t kill the diffs. My big rock 3s destroyed the rear input gear within 2 weeks. My friend with a senton never broke his, someone else bought a typhon 3s and it also chewed the diff very quickly. I assume the SCT tires are significantly less load on the diffs.
With all the respect My first car was Arrma Vorteks.. and I brought ARRMA senton .... But after I buy a Traxxas Slash ultimate... I found the difference Traxxas is way more better than the Arrma ... You got multivarity options to convert the card anything you want You get more aftermarket parts upgradable... Which Arrma isn't capable with... Now I starting to like Traxxas...
I was starting to think I was the only one who has blown the stock tires on this thing...switched to the traxxas slash ultimate BFG KM3s and haven't had an issue since...besides less grip but good video.
Back again doing research on my 2nd attempt at the RC hobby. All told, how much of a financial investment, would you guess, for all the upgrades you mentioned before the driving video montage began? Thanks, loved the video from start to finish yet again
I just got into all this and I have a little over 1000 in mine with most of his upgrades and a few more with four 3s batteries and spektrum smart charger
Thanks for the info. I was unaware of that fact. Plus, I have to have the car for a minimum of 4 months and run 12 batteries through it before it can qualify for the Brutal Review. This one felt right. Thanks for subbing. AJ
Yep I have a V3 and I haven't had half those problems. Upgraded to badlands and the servo was junk. Killed one shock while getting nutty. Toughest 10th scale in the under 600 dollar range, not bad for a 380 dollar rc. 50 runs and still mashin.
I'm not sure if you have any experience with the 3S big rock, but what would you prefer between this and the big rock? My bashing areas pretty similar to what you have. Large rock driveway, large open grass fields that are trimmed and the small amount of dirt.
Thanks for asking. We do own both cars and for grassy or rougher terrain the Big Rock is a better machine. For formed areas the Senton rocks. We have both versions 6s and 3s and this applies for either version of the cars. Thanks again for asking. AJ
@@AJJAMStudios Thanks AJ, this will be my wife's for RC car after driving my 4s outcast and 4s Mojave, she said she liked both but would only run them at 50% throttle so I figured a 3s big rock should do the trick.
If you get a newer version then the shocks should work well out of the box. The oil can be tuned and they do not leak as the older ones did. Still, we searched eBay using - Arrma Senton big bore shocks - and ordered some of those. They seem to work good and they look cool, plus they are tunable. I’m sure there are others out there.
They are Traxxas slash aftermarket bodies that fit both the slash and the Senton 3S. There are many styles to choose from and they are prevalent on eBay if you simply search Senton 3S body. Thanks for asking, AJ
It does, but I like it to do that. The car needs to expend the energy into the chassis or we wind up breaking other components. Shock oil plays a part in tuning the suspension no matter which shocks you have. Thanks for asking. AJ
Good video I have the senton the tires explode a lot so I jut get driffent ones and you can water proof receivers just with hot glue I made a video on my channel on it! If you want to check it out
Bought one for my kid and it's been terrible... 2 hours of drive time and bad motor/esc... spur gear... bumper... and drive axle... cant drive it in gravel because it gets into absolutely everything and destroys all the plastics parts... constantly upgrading and modifying... totally unhappy... sorry to rant on your vodeo but I just keep hearing they are so good and I just dont get it 🤷♂️
I hate hearing stories like this. I wish your experience with the car had been better. I’ve had to repair and upgrade as well but in my case I caused the damage. I wish you better luck with your next RC. AJ
The v3 fixed alot i just bought one! It runs great love it! Instead of tape the guy at the hobby shop said use velcro soft side to keep rocks and dirt out
@@dankforestwhat receiver would it come with if it wasn't a Spektrum receiver? Did Arrma used to use some other brand of receiver? Only Arrma vehicles I own were bought this year, and they both had Spektrum Rx
Your tips nailed it. I have implemented some of them on my Outcast already. I have tried to convert my pre-owned Arrma Senton Mega to 3S. It seems the Hot Racing metal spur doesn't fit with my Robinson 20T pinion. That is why I will use a plastic spur while the right pinion will travel from the US to Ukraine. Thanks for all of your videos.
Gotta luv this video man.. Imma sub ya.. hey are u still running stock differential gears?? I just picked up allot parts keeping sum plastic but my spur gear is metal..
Good morning to you, I really enjoy your content, I got an Arrma Seton 4x4 3s RTR for my Birthday, so what are the best upgrades for this Short Coarse Truck?
We used to use the TBone racing stuff but they folded. I don’t trust the new site at all. Other than that I haven’t looked into it. Thanks for asking. 😎👍
Loving this channel. Thank you, AJ, for these terrific, in-depth and honest reviews. 👍
Much appreciated! Thank you. AJ
I was hesitating between Senton and Tenacity TT pro. Got Tenacity. But it does not have a dust cover. But the more I watch about Senton the more I'm so happy with my choice.
Glad you picked one you dig. That’s really the trick, picking the RC that speaks to you. Bash on😎👍
Scorched RC makes a liner for under the body that does a great job on keeping crap out. Also put a center diff from the 4s Mojave in it... totally different Truck!
love your true to most of us at home for mods that we can afford .......great buddy ...verry honest so far
I appreciate that! Thanks. 😎👍
Nice job making the Senton bulletproof bro. Loved it and the video
Thank you for that. 😎👍
Thank you for your honesty!
Dang you beat the hell out of it! Love it that’s what they where meant to do Break Repair Run & repeat!
Thank you so much😎👍
Just picked one up, awesome daily basher haha. Fast, durable and affordable. Can’t go wrong, next rig will either be a udr, sledge or somethin
Awesome. 😎👍
I just made a cover for the gap in the steering link area out of abs plastic and a little gorilla duct tape. Now no larger stones can get it there.

AJ went all Gangsta with the "If it looked cool, It's because it Was Cool" and if you don't know, now you know...
Looks like you got the V2 model of the Arrma Senton. I’d like to see you review the newer version, they added many of the upgrades you wanted
I agree. V3 has fixed so much
This really is a great channel 🙌🏻 thanks man for the info ! 👍🏻🤘🏻
My pleasure! I'm glad you found the channel. Welcome. AJ
The RPM arms definitely will break, for instance, if you hit a metal stop sign pillar at 25-30 MPH.
Only half of the arm broke, and i just repaired it with globs of thermoplastic beads melted around it.
That looks a lot like northern AZ. Makes me want to get my rc's out in the woods for a run

The v3 do not leak. They upgrade the orings to silicone.

Got the Mega 1st running 2s then I got the BLX...man what a difference....
Definitely a day and night difference. Mega for kids, brushless for adults. Fun for the whole family. 😎👍

As we say here, if it works or thrills you, you have the right RC. Brand does not matter. Personally I love them both. 😎👍
Hey man! You should try out a V3 some time! They have fixed a ton of the stuff you mentioned in this video. I think you'd be very impressed!
Good idea. We do have some v3 RCs here and you are right, they fixed a lot.
I was starting to think I was the only one who has blown the stock tires on this thing...switched to the traxxas slash ultimate BFG KM3s and haven't had an issue since...besides less grip but good video.
Great to know...thanks. 😎👍
I'm looking for an after market front bumper for an Arrma Senton, besides T-BONE Racing, which has gone out of business.
Those are the eBay shocks got the same for my Typhon. Hobbywing sct 120 is great or the new 4s G2 series.
I keep destroying tires. Any recommendations to avoid destroying them? I think they keep hitting the body and cutting them

I might have missed it but who makes that yellow body? I dig it.
Search eBay for the car type and they should pop up.
Good morning, I would like to know what's the best after market turnbuckle for a Arrma Senton 3s 4x4 BLX?
Unfortunately we can’t answer that, as we are still using the stock ones. I wish I had the answer for you.

I'm getting one for my birthday, I want to put better shocks on it, what would you suggest?

Great video. Do you have a list or link of the upgrade for this Arrma Senton 3S? Thanks
Not anymore. This is an older video. Thanks for asking.
Nice video. Can you give us the list of all parts upgraded?
The shocks n cvd r spur gear is upgraded in the new one ????
What bodies are those? Like it much better than the orange v2 stock body mine has.
They are Traxxas slash aftermarket bodies that fit both the slash and the Senton 3S. There are many styles to choose from and they are prevalent on eBay if you simply search Senton 3S body. Thanks for asking, AJ
What is the best Gyro system for the Arrma Senton?
We used spectrum parts. 6 channel receiver and a DX3. This worked out very well.
Does the senton come with low voltage enabled on the esc for lipo anyone know please?
If I mite ask what shocks are you using I like those
I hunted them up on EBay. Use this search: BIG BORE ALUMINUM Shock For 1/10 Arrma Senton 3S BLX Short Course
Silver. That should get you there. AJ
What's the part number for the steel spur gear?
STFF257N OT 57t Mod 0.8 Steel Spur Gear Arrma 1/10 4x4 Blx 3S 4S. There you go. It should be on the Hot-Racing RC website. 😎👍
@@AJJAMStudios Thank you!
With the upgraded shocks doese it bottm out like with the stock
It does, but I like it to do that. The car needs to expend the energy into the chassis or we wind up breaking other components. Shock oil plays a part in tuning the suspension no matter which shocks you have. Thanks for asking. AJ
What bumpers are those on the yellow I have done the big bore as well😃
Stock on the front, but TboneRacing rear bumper. You can find it online at TboneRacing.net. Thanks for asking. AJ
