I had the same thing happen to me. I started using 2 to 3 shims on my diffs to tighten up the mesh. No problems since and I'm running a 4s ESC with a 3674 hobbystar motor.
A set of Hot Racing yokes will prevent this from happening with even 4s power. The problem is with the stock plastic casing that holds the gear and pinion has a little flex to it, which allows the pinion to move enough to strip the gears. The hot racing one is aluminum and won't flex under serious loads. Soon I'll be testing if it'll hold up to 6s power on my 3s typhon.
@@fastfreddy7111 After about a dozen or more runs, these gears will not handle 6s power reliably. On 6s, expect to get less than 5 runs before the diffs or the slipper starts to go. If you get slow discharge batteries at about 35C it'll help with the wear, but will stress the capacitors depending on the esc. I stopped running it on 6s and just left it on 4s before I sold it. Even on 4s this chassis is still problematic. Especially with the center propshaft design. Put the stock electronics back in it a month ago and sold it to my neighbor. Would definitely not recommend this chassis to anybody that's just starting to get in the hobby. Way too many problems even in stock form.
@@captaincouldverc Yeah thank! I bought the MEGA version a few months ago and replaced the brush with brushless and a 3s ESC..Im gonna just leave it like that..Will build up some of my other ones that are not as problematic! even though its been running ok like it is!Thanks!
Silly question , are the metal gears for the big rock 3s blx machined? I wanted to replace the plastic diff with a metal one,but the guy at R.C HOBBY said I couldn't because the stock steel pinion gear would get chewed up by the machined big gear.
The 26t pinion is good for speed runs. But I wouldnt bash with it. The motor gets hot and goes into thermal protection if you run it too long or in grass. But if you wanna do a couple of speed runs its good!
The only thing you need to do to make this work with a stock Typhon is change the motor mount to a hotracing mount because doesnt give you enough room to mount the pinion. I have stripped my spur gear in the past so a metal onenis in there now but its the same teeth as the stock one. Nothing else is different then the stock configuration. Even the diff fluid is the same from factory
Subbed My Guy💯💯✊🏾😎. I never tried a 26T on mine🤔. I went straight to My BLX185 SYSTEM and haven't looked back😎. I run 4-6s and got her on a Mod1 Gearing setup💯💯💯. So far she hits 79, but I can't get her all the way planted, so im still working those kinks out. She's taking the System so far, and I need a Wheelie Bar, she rides the wing as if she has one. I definitely Enjoy This little one, she has mad potential💯💯💯. Lookin forward to your Progress✊🏾
Nice vid man. I have an Arrma senton that i out a 6s motor in it. Im having problems keeping her straight. I upgraded to a better remote and tires. And installed the same whellie bar that you have to help with the parachute effect. But she still drifts off a little. Any sugestions?
I have seen others poke holes in certain areas of the body to help with letting the air escape from under it. I do not have any experience myself in doing that though.
I would maybe put oil i side altho i would leak but i would do a daily routine to take it apart and wash with re lubing all of the gears and bearing. I wouldnt honestly care if it was plastic but i would upgrade all the stuff to metal which should stand less cleaning then bealing with plastic but that plastic in the Arrma difs are actully holding up very will. I say this because my Typhon 3s is stock no mods to the difs and gears. Just A-arm upgrade for bashing. But if you do 6s combo upgrade with stock difs im sure they will "cake up" and maybe sooner or late die on you other the runs of batteries. Over all they are okay ish
Did 2 passes with my 3s blx on a 3300kv hobby wing and the stock 3200kv both times 21t pinion both times motor burnt out even with extra fans wish you could get a smaller spur :/ not just the 57t
Front differential plastic okay,rear hot racing is the way to go mesh is fouled buy warped or poor tolerances plastic I went through 4 my self before fixing problem
Nice speed run ! I’m soo frustrated because I just put a 29T pinion in my arrma 3s and my speed meter said 64mph. And you did faster on a 26t. Why is that you think ? Nice run though
Its hard to say. I know one the things I had to do was just give it enough space to run for the gps to do its thing. Also may depend on the gps you are using. What battery are you using and was it fully charged? Is it the Typhon v3 or is it one of the other 3s vehicles because that could make a difference. And temperature could also play a role.
@@therchotspot it’s the v3 version. I used a 3s lipo 7000mah 100c. I notice it only does 2 runs and it overheats and stops. I used felony hoons wheels instead of the stock wheels
Honestly Im not sure. Maybe the esc is not allowing you to get to a higher speed. Maybe it is going into thermal protection because it might be over geared. Try going down to a smaller gear and see what happens
No, the esc does get hot running it at 100 percent and goes into thermal protection but you get a few min of playing time before it does. I would not recommend leaving the 26t pinion gear in there for bashing around though.
still looks slow compared to the Team Corally Python, it would eat the Arrma Typhon's lunch on just stock, never mind if you upgrade for a little bit. Where Arrma struggle to get speed, Team Corally's V2 cars just pave the asphalt with smoke because they are so fast. Don't believe, just see a couple of vids. I am not convinced about Arrma anymore after what i've seen on Team Corally's new line up. The Typhon is a handsome looking beast though but that's about it. Corally is the Versace of RC cars now.
I like Corally and plan on getting some of their products but this is not a good comparison. The Corally Python is a 6s buggy this is a 3s buggy. So it should be quicker and able to be made even faster easier. And these are at two different price points for those reasons. Maybe compare the 6s Typhon to the Python. But for a 3s buggy, this is pretty fast.
@@therchotspot yes, i miscategorized it a bit but i stand corrected. I was thinking of the vids i saw where a Typhon 6s went up against a Python using a 5s battery and the Python left the Arrma in the dust, very convincingly. 2 more other videos i saw where the Corallys were running on 4s, and equally on 6s, and the Arrmas on 6s were getting chewed to pieces by the Corallys. The Corallys handling looks much smoother and better to control, especially cutting the corners, then the Typhon at high speed. Ive watched many videos searching for my first true rc cars and i thought Arrma would be it until i stumbled on just a few of the Corallys vids. What i observed in many cases were struggles to get the Arrma to the speed listed on the box when they took them out. And the hosts always had to mentioned about upgrading for next time to hopefully reach top speed. I stumbled on Team Corallys rc car vids and i was blown away. Pretty much every test run they blast past the speed listed and even go higher if they custom upgrade. But you're the boss testing these bad boys, if you can, post some vids comparing them in a race so we can truly see how they compare. Love the vids.
I have become very impressed with Corally and there cars for sure. I plan on picking one up soon and I will compare them for sure. Thanks for watching!
Ok I checked it out and it seems like a delay in the response in the driveshaft. My back wheels balloon but my front kick in like a few seconds later with a little ballooning not much
Just got mine to 90 mph….25t mod 1 gear…..second pass wrecked it pretty good. Going to try for 100 this week after I get the repairs done!!
I had the same thing happen to me. I started using 2 to 3 shims on my diffs to tighten up the mesh. No problems since and I'm running a 4s ESC with a 3674 hobbystar motor.
How much kv is your motor and what gear do you use for the centerdriveshaft ?
Stock 3300kv motor and stock 57t spur
Thanks
Great run bro....looks perfect👑
Your diff look dry...put greas
Kip it up lol..subs alredy
They were dry. I never looked at them before this happened but there definitely is grease on it now lol. Thanks for watching and subbing!
I enjoyed your run!
Thank you! 💯
It’s gonna be roasting that motor, it’ll be cooked if you don’t watch it. Great run
Nice runs 👍

Im not sure, but I haven't had that problem. But Im also not running the stock gear anymore
I replaced plastic spur with metal and the metal chewed up the stock pinion gear. Constant backend forth with my big rock. Headace
I have been using Robinson pinion gears since I upgraded to the steel spur gear. That has not been chewed up yet
Hey there, what do you use to read the speed on your phone?
amzn.to/3APoS31
6s and Limitless center diff.... 100mph ...go for it x
What are the part number I need
I dont have a part number for the gear, Im not even sure what brand I went with at that time. Its a 26t 32p pinion gear. You can get it anywhere
@@therchotspot thanks for replying I think I've got it I found a 22t 0.8 mod pinion gear I bought a month ago and forgot I bought it thanks once again
Idk if I was paying attention but does it have stock electronics
Yes
Cool I just bought a second hand one I'm gonna get a 26 t pinion lol thanks
The 26t pinion is good for speed runs. But I wouldnt bash with it. The motor gets hot and goes into thermal protection if you run it too long or in grass. But if you wanna do a couple of speed runs its good!

Maybe try checking the position of your servo..good place to start
Theres a guy who said shortening his shock shafts and heavy shock oil totally made his Senton more drivable and transformed it into his best RC.
Interesting. My pops has one, Ill have to pass this info to him. Is there a video link you could share?
@@therchotspot ill look for it
Sounds right, i did 66.9mph with mines using a spektrum 50c 3s 5000mah lipo stock wheels and ran a 64.1 with infraction wheels
Nice!
Are you running a 57 tooth spur gear?
Yes
Was this a V2 or V3
V3
@@therchotspot I thought the V3's had the upgraded diff's
They didnt upgrade enough I guess lol. Maybe they used a different plastic. But still it's not metal out the box

Good job...
Thank you! 💯
I stripped my imput shaft two. They really should of made them metal, or at least ran them in a sealed diff running in thinner oil.
Internals are metal. But the input gear and diff housing are plastic out the box
Legend.
Did the same last weekend with a 20tooth you want more speed get the 6S like I did!! If not start changing gears to metal
Already have been switching to metal gears. I know I can get a 6s, but I like seeing what speed I can get from this buggy though. It a challenge
That thing flies for a 3s car. I have a big rock and its impressive for 3s and stock.
I like the big rock. Definitely on my list to get!
@@therchotspot you wont be disappointed
You should pick up a wltoys "124017 car number" for 127 bucks. Wanna talk about flying on 3s and 1/3rd the cost.

Front differential plastic okay,rear hot racing is the way to go mesh is fouled buy warped or poor tolerances plastic I went through 4 my self before fixing problem

No problem! Let me know how it goes.
So you hit 66 mph just on 3s and 26T pinion gear?
Yep.

No, the esc does get hot running it at 100 percent and goes into thermal protection but you get a few min of playing time before it does. I would not recommend leaving the 26t pinion gear in there for bashing around though.
@@therchotspot So how can you run the 26T safely all the time?
I dont. I change the pinion gear back to 18t when I want to bash it. But maybe you run it at 50% or 75% and it would not get so hot.
Have the same issue kmt. I’ve gone through 4 of these bastard input gears n diff case
Don't blink !
You blink and you miss it! Lol
Damn bro mine overheats with 21t in 30° F temps on 3s
