Nice video, I picked up the new typhon 3s V3 buggy. Very impressed with the handling and speed. Keep up the good work- cheers from the United States! Stay safe.
Thanks - trying to improve the video's etc, practice makes perfect as they say 👍👍 a little annoyed my reflection showed up on the box when doing the changes part
I see you have lots of videos on the Arrma lineup - have you thought about reviewing recent Redcat models? some of them are Team Magic rebrands, which are really quality (RC-MT10E especially). Kaiju is also gaining lots of the traction due to the value/price. I think it would be nice to expand the reviews
@@beomon3449 I would love to, but being in the UK its almost impossible to buy RedCat cars and parts are a nightmare, only way is to import from the USA which gets very expensive
Nice honest no nonsense review, surprised you didn’t include the Senton, guess you didn’t have the room really. I’ve watched quite a few reviews now and think I’ll get the Big Rock , I was initially leaning towards the Senton but if the chassis are the same length, give or take, I’ll just get the body. I like the wing mod you did earlier, think that looks cool.
Thanks - you guessed it right, not room to include the Senton as well - i need a bigger workshop and desk 😂 the basic running train is the same on the 3s cars, just comes down to Long Wheel base or Short Wheel base, A Arm length, Tires and Body. Wing mod is pretty nice - think it finishes the trucks off
Thanks - just done the Scrim tape and E600 on body, now going to go over the car make sure all is ok, given Arrma QC issues at present 😂😂 guess your mesh was out.
Hello sorry in advance for the silly question would you know why Arrma states the 3s lipo must be hard case only I see no obvious reason why this is thank you
I also wondered why, and could see no logical reason, they say soft of hardcase for the 6s cars. I run soft case in our and know loads of people that also run softcase and have no issues. No questions are silly 👍👍
Ive just ordered one It was a toss up between this and the savage flux xs But ive had trouble with the savage in the past £430 i paid with battery 3s 5000 mah 50c and a charger Can’t wait to break it lol 😂
Great little truck - tough as nail as well, only thing i would suggest you may want to change is the wheels / tires to some badland 2.8's. Could also do the wing mod i have a vidoe on, i think it finishes the truck off and helps to protect the rear of the shell/ body
@@HardcoreRC first day out with truck amazing definitely getting them wheels u recommended funny i had the proline big joes on my old savage flux this truck beats hpi stuff hands down Cheers
@@miketube6662 Your welcome - im glad you like the truck, always worry someone wont like something i recommend, but i will always be honest and give my unbiased opinion 👍👍 had a HPI E-Savage many years ago, these Arrma are light years better.
@@miketube6662 3.8 will likely be too big for the car, they are more for 6s rigs. I run the 2.8 on our Typhon 3s which is basically the same car, the 2.8 come in two sizes, i would recommend the wider ones: www.modelsport.co.uk/pro-line-badlands-mx28-2-8-all-terrain-tyres-mounted-on-raid-6x30-wheels-black-2-/rc-car-products/437821
Is you find it a bit wobbly on straights I heard whacking the big spacers in the rear shocks helps, and check the dif oil seen one or two mention of hardly any dif oil, think ima order me a big rock this Friday or next treat myself And someone needs to get them granite wheels on a br
Thanks for the info. Also added a rear spoiler, wonder if that will help now 😂😂 - had a quick once over and all seemed fine except the gear mesh was a bit tight. Need to change to 17mm Hex and get some Badlands on it :)
@@HardcoreRC if i remember correctly losi ten mt, traxxas hoss/t maxx and hpi savage wheels are all 14mm hex as i cant really afford to fork out for badlands
@@thatbig1 Just looked the Losi wheels and tires are more expensive then Badlands. Badlands not to bad and now you can get the 14mm Hex adaptor for the wheels: www.modelsport.co.uk/pro-line-badlands-mx28-2-8-all-terrain-tyres-mounted-on-raid-6x30-wheels-black-2-/rc-car-products/437821 www.modelsport.co.uk/pro-line-6x30-to-14mm-hex-adapters-for-pro-line-6x30-2-8in-wheels-4-/rc-car-products/442444
Would you please recommend me which battery I should get. I have a Spektrum Smart S150 AC/DC RC Battery Charger. I’m completely clueless. Thank you in advance!
@@HardcoreRC It’s for the ARRMA 1/10 BIG ROCK 4X4 3S. I order the charger and it got here today. I’m just not too sure about which battery to get. Zee batteries were recommended but I read a lot of reviews about them being dangerous
@@MarioSilva-zv9yv I have heard many good things about Zee lipos, and hardly anything bad, so if you can get them easily enough go for it - just need to make sure that are minimum 5,000mAh capacity and 35c or higher. I also like the Turnigy Heavy Duty 5,000mAh 60c packs from Hobbyking
If the shocks leak i will just replace with same shocks we have on our Granite and Typhon. Servo seems fine, if it fails i will replace with the £11 we use on our 6s cars.
RC CRAWL my granite typhon and Senton all leaked told Arrma about it they sent me a repair kit they still leaked replaced the granite ones from ones I got from eBay no leaks I don’t want to spend the money for the other two cars I also replaced the servos after they burned out they have a two year warranty but I don’t want to keep replacing them
@@nomusicrc All RCs have their issues (Arrma or Traxxas for example), Arrma have done a ton of upgrades to the 3s line up including fixing the leaking shocks as no leaks on the V3 BRCC, although i may change to the big bore shocks for the 4mm shafts anyway. Not had issues with our 3s servos (6s versions yes) but if i ever have a servo go then i swap out with a £11 DS3225 from Banggood and get a £20 credit on the warranty servo
Nice comparison video I just got my hands on the v3 senton and havent ran it yet. I really want to get the v3 typhon the 6s typhon as well. Can you let me know what bumper your running on your typhon? that looks like it does a great job protecting the typhon. I hit the 👍 for tgis video on way out😊
Thanks for the 👍 glad you liked the video. Im running the POS bumper on the Typhon www.pos-modellbau.de/shop/marke-a-m/arrma/ scroll to the bottom of the page and its the Kraton / Outcast 4S pne - as the 4s chassis is same is the 3s so fits. If in UK then Modelsport have just started selling these as well: www.modelsport.co.uk/pos-front-bumper-arrma-kraton-outcast-4s/rc-car-products/1332633
Thanjs for the info. Any thoughts on getting the senton with granite tires over the big rock? Or putting big rock tires on the granite. Can't wrap my head around which of the three to buy
Senton with Granite tires may need to cut more of the body away. I guess it really depends what you are looking to do with the car, bare in mind the Typhon, Bigrock and Senton are basically the same car with just different body shells, body mounts and tires, they are all the LWB, Granite is shorter wheel base
Nice vid.. Small mistake with the length and width comparison to the Granite. However I'm interested in knowing if the battery tray looks as if it could fit 6s or 2 3s 5200mAh packs??
Thanks, your not supposed to notice the small mistake 😂😂 yes the battery tray will take 2x3s or a 6s pack, but you will likely need to change the straps as they are not long enough to go round 2x Turnigy 3s soft packs
I went to order the br v3 but it’s out of stock till next week then spotted a used outcast 4s with a unused adjustable motor mount what you think should I jump on the outcast? I am a bit of a newbie and it’s gonna be my first serious rc pretty much gonna be off road on trails and woods having a bash about
The Outcast 4s is a great car, but a bit of an animal at the same time, its great for stunts, back flips etc at skate park. The Big Rock is a lot more stable, it will wheelie but you decide more on what it will wheel rather then the truck just doing it 😂 really depends on how much the 4s outcast is and how much of a saving
Thanks. I haven't been able to run the car yet due to weather, however from what i have seen and heard to SLT-3 doesn't suffer from the STX2 lag issues. Although a cheaper option that is also very good is the DumboRC transmitter and receivers - there is a link to it in my description, i use this when swapping out the STX2
@@Merciless315 The truck will take 4s as the new v3's are all 4s ready from a running train point of view, but the ESC and Motor will not take 4s so would need to swap them out
@@markwatson9413 been fine with me, had one catch fire, but then any lip can do that, was replaced with two within 2 days. Which ones you looking at ? and for what car ?
I am wondering if you could review it with the 3s completion kit from amain www.amainhobbies.com/spektrum-rc-smart-powerstage-3s-bundle-w-3s-smart-lipo-hard-case-battery-spmxps3/p1161241 this is the one that it recommends me to buy with it but I see most people using a 35c discharge and this one is 50c
Im sorry i dont have that charger if battery, i pay for all my cars and batterers so wouldn't be able to review them as dont own them. I do know that Spektrum chargers and batteries are well over priced and the batteries dont actually perform that well. Better cheaper option in my description.
