Only thing I can say to noobs is don't get nitro and don't get on road car's. Go for a it can Go anywhere vehicle for more options on surfaces to drive on, being limited to where you can use it becomes boring quickly.
Im club racing mine this summer at our off road track im putting a hobby wing system in it and a new flsysky fs7 gp radio cant wait to hit the track with it this summer. I have the same green and black body as you do as well love the truck its a very good starter truck.
I'm a noob I've had rtr but I prefer tamiya now as you build it and learn how to fix it and it's easy to upgrade I'm not good at painting but you learn fast with tamiya I feel great video 👍👍👍👍👍
Gav - Get yourself a Team Associated Pro4 SC10. They are cheap and soo underrated. You will love it. Just make sure you get proper off road tyres for it
@@grrfy You are comparing a 4WD brushless for double the price with a 2WD brushed car? Of course the 4WD will accelerate way faster and also brake way harder without spinning out. That is a silly comparison.
I love my Senton. It was the basic Mega version, and i bashed the hell out of it. Its now been modified, with a brushless system, and massive tyres, and its still a brilliant car, but its no more fun than the basic car!! Its a great platform, and the boost idea is a great idea. 👍🏻
This is a great idea. I think any of the Boost line would be great for someone just getting into the hobby or someone who would like to get an r/c car to have fun. Th done note of caution I would say is the battery charger that comes with the one with the charger and battery. I have watched more than one review of the Arrma trucks and the included charger and it's painfully slow. I think I would buy a better charger. This would be especially true for young people.They will quickly lose interest if they are constantly waiting for a battery to charge. If you're buying one for kids, buy a better charger and an extra battery.
my 5 year old loves his. I made it 4x4 and brushless with a hobbywing max 10. Got a g2 max10 to go in it for him this year just got to find the time to fit it for him. Great trucks and a good alternative to the cheap Chinese stuff with parts and upgrades everywhere you look 👍👌
Oh, you actually don't necessarily have to upgrade out of the Boost 2-in-1 unit immediately. Well, you do if you want to put a different ESC in, but it's designed to be able to take input from another receiver and just act as a conventional ESC. Good on Spektrum for allowing interoperability with other companies' radio equipment instead of locking you into Spektrum radio equipment.
Great video but don't forget the HPI Jumpshot SC V2.0 Flux for around the same money, brushless out of the box with separate ESC and receiver. I don't own one but strongly considering...
Jumpshot is great and actually faster than the Senton at 55 mph. Jumpshot is not as strong as the Senton and a whole lot lighter more of a racer than a basher but so well balanced with that twin vertical plate chassis and she just drifts around the corners on grass like a dream, 2wd super simple easy to maintain.
But it's HPI.....they are not what they were 10 years ago, hell 5 years ago. Parts availability from a LHS is non existent in my area and I live in a very urban area. At HPI's peak, I would definitely buy a kit but not now.
@beandean356 I'm on my second one after selling my first one a year ago and the handling is definitely top notch compared to the senton I had. This second one is definitely here to stay lol.
@@RCKickschannelthey're pretty good, not arrma tough but I never broke mine during backyard bashing. I bought the brushed version to try it out and later swapped in a Hobbywing Justock 2s system, it definitely hit my rc sweet spot.
The Arrma Boost range is awesome but long term people are better off buying the Mega as it comes 3s ready (almost!) All you need is a new ESC and Motor. The reciever is seperate and it already has the "upgrades" as far as the diffs and gearing are concerned. My Nephew's Typhon was the Mega version and I just put a Max 10 Combo in. Now it's a beast and gives my 3s Typhon a run for it's money!!
What would be a good new battery and charger? I just bought one, and I'm definitely intrigued with that concept of getting a new battery, at the least.
So, one other thing I want to note is that if your local track has an "older" style RTR spec SCT chassis, where any brushed, unmodified RTR SCT chassis is allowed, and it's a sealed clay or carpet track, this will actually handle better than the Slash as its mid-motor design will give you more steering than the Slash's rear-motor design.
I'd argue you'd be able to stretch your money out more if you get a mini or micro. Something like an Associated Reflex-14 or a Kyosho Mini Z Buggy. But for a 1/10th scale under $200 this is a good place to start.
I am having this dilemma right now can’t decide whether to go for the senton or slash I like the idea of the senton 4x2 can be upgraded to 4x4 unlike the slash
SOLD OUT now. But we have build a Senton Fun Cup with these things on our 1/10 Scale Buggy Race Track. Just added the 4wd Boost Kit, because its not really good with only 2wd. (The new Arrma Fury 2wd will be much better with just 2wd, but cant be upgraded to 4wd)
Not a Traxxas fan boy by any stretch but I would go Traxxas over Arrma all day. The reason, QC and design choices. Traxxas cars are damn near bulletproof and replacing parts are cheap and readily available. Finding parts for Arrma can be like pulling teeth. It's a nice kit but yeah Traxxas.

That is actually a really cool truck Gavin, thanks for the intro and in depth review. Cheers!

yeah great truck, eats these alive!
Yep I need to try one out, I hear good things
basically an extended mt10 but a sc@@RCKickschannel

Very good explanation video 👍🏽
Even with the top of the range senton, there's always extra upgrades to be had.

I was really impressed with the chassis, especially for the money.

Is that Kevin Talbot on the thumb nail? Only kidding, love ya, Kev.
I love the green body. My figuring it's cheaper to buy the green mega and a HW 10BL system than to buy the BLX Senton and a extra green body.
I feel £250 is a good budget for this set up the vortex boost then charger deans esc plug deans charge wire and a battery
I had a Vortex on the show and it’s also a great RC

G’day Gavin, could you upgrade this with non Arrma products such as a GoolRC brushless motor esc combo, if you are on a budget?
Great show mate.
You can fit any standard electronics in this.

I din't think you can go wrong really, just the 4x4 to think about if you go slash
@@RCKickschannel agree for me it cost I really like both it’s justification for the extra money at this point

Is it possible to upgrade to brushless but not to 4x4?
Yep :)
Do you believe it would make sense? Would it be an enhancement in terms of driftability?
Is he talking about collecting or is he talking about the RC
You gotta stop using Corbin for views 😂
🤣 He hates that picture
I hate sponsored videos that pretend not to be
Do you hate being wrong? 😆
gav mavrick strada sc is awsome 4x4 brushless and on modelsport for £150 with spares available.
In the UK but can you get them worldwide?
