Wow Pete, I'm impressed by your super fast screwing!!! 🤣🤣But seriously, great information here and good advice about how to maintain your Arrma! Not surprising the wear you get from such a high performance RC. All good as new again and ready for some more awesome bashing sessions! I might have said this before but I'm really impressed by the modular way that Arrma put their cars together, great designs indeed. All the best mate and I hope your weekend was a good one! 😎👌👍
Oh yes I'm famously quick at screwing 🤣 These do really well considering that they get hammered quite often for an hour or more at a time. Oh yes I do like that these are easy to work on and really I'm planning to run them forever if I can. Hopefully you'll get to experience these at some point. I do love my little Tamiyas and Kyoshos but sometimes it's good to have trucks to really go nuts with. Cheers for watching as I know the information contained is of no help to you unless you end up buying one of these. Cheers for now 😁👍
This is an Excellent video - Fair play!!. Exactly how I personally I & I think its fair to say, almost everyone - Wants a video of this content to be. A clear explanation & Detailed Instructions of everything you need to know and how to do it - without having to spend an extra 8 minutes throughout - watching screws being turned in real time & Struggling to hear what is being said. 1st video of yours I've seen - I've just Liked & Subscribed 👍
Hey thanks for your great feedback. Yeah I try to keep these as short as possible while still showing the important bits. I've done a few of the maintenance on the Arrma 3s cars and I think I've covered most of the things you need to maintain. Thanks again 😁👍
Hiya Rob. Oh yeah by the time I opened it up I'd done various test drives to get a little video of the problem so it was indeed knackered at that point. Yes, really well designed these so you don't usually have to take everything apart to do some maintenance. Cheers for watching mate 😁👍
Hey thanks for watching the videos even though they are not of much use to you. Maybe get one to beat up and you can save your Tamiyas for the lighter runs. Many thanks indeed for your great feedback 😁👍
The ones on the input gear are AR610001 and the ones on the diff outer are AR610007. You can find the part numbers on the Arrma site www.arrma-rc.com/en/interactive-exploded-view?pid=ARA4312V3
Hi there Pete, a super instalment of some essential maintenance of the awesome Arrma’s. Now, do you remember that cheap brushless set that I purchased from Banggood, that had loads of ‘cogging’ well, I’ve got myself a HobbyWing BL ESC that I’m going to attempt to install in my test car (yes the Typhon Mega) I’m going to see if the HobbyWing improves the ‘cogging affect’ or whether it’s the motor itself. I’m hoping to tinker a bit later in the late Spring, early Summer, as I’ve got my revised Left Hip replacement date in the mid of May 2023, so might have some time to grab some hand tools and have a play 😊😊best wishes to you and the family 😊😊
Hiya John. I reckon that the Hobbywing esc should work well as I've never had an issue with their stuff. These cars definitely need a bit of speed to get the best out of them. Hope your hip op goes well and you get hopped up too! I'm sure you'll be sprinting around after your cars in no time. Many thanks indeed for watching and your kind comments my friend. Best wishes to you 😁
Hey Pete...great video! I just bought a Granite...I'll be upgrading it on my channel using a hobbywing max10 sct esc and motor. Do you recommend keeping a spare ring gear? How often have you replaced gears in your 3s Arrma RCs?
Hi there. Ah cool, I love the Granite and the max 10 is a great brushless set. Well this is the first time I've had to do these gears in the Big Rock in 2 years of ownership. It depends how often you run it I guess. The spur gear wears out in a few months usually so it's good to have one of those in your spares. Many thanks for watching and enjoy your Granite 😁👍
this happened after a few years? Or... More recent. I've had my Big rock for 2 months and this just happened yesterday. But it also happened the day I upgraded my battery. I been running a 5000 Mah 50C 11.1V but I threw in a 8000 Mah 100C 11.1V after bout 10 mins, it began crunching gears after punching. I was running on 100% to see the battery life, and it clearly outlasted my rear diff gears. I ordered new ones, metal for like 36$ for the pair. This is my first serious rc repair besides having the wheels fall off (2 separate occasions before I thread locked them)
Oh right I wonder if your clutch is a bit tight so the gears stripped before the clutch slipped? These 3s cars are my go to bashers and I do get months or years of use before those gears go which is surprising given how quick they are. Yes the metal ones like in the 4s cars should be better. Thanks for watching the video and your feedback 👍👍
Pete you should get your replacement parts from Jennys RC, and they are significantly cheaper than retail, you just have to wait a week or so for delivery
so many crap videos out there claiming to tell you how to fix X problem which starts with badly shot blurry footage and devolves to Ok thats all guys lol then 20 videos of speed runs Wow guys works great ok subscribe while you are sitting there with a deskful of useless parts But I digress. Thank you for making this video
I wish I found your video when I had to build mine, so easy to understand and now I know how to tell which diff is the problem
Hey I'm glad you found it in the end and many thanks for your great feedback. Much appreciated :-)
Pete - These are consistently the best Arrma 3S/4S maintenance videos on RUclips. 👍🏼 (Even had elements of a Carry On film!)
Hi there. Thank you for your very kind words. I do try to make them as clear as possible. Thanks again 😁👍

Those gears were well mullered mate. Excellent how to and tips vid Pete. Still can't get over the design of this truck. Great stuff dude.

Great instruction video Pete
Many thanks indeed for watching and your comments. Best wishes 😁👍
Crikey Pete. You tugged that shaft and made a right old mess! Great video bud. I’m find this style of repair video super relaxing. 👍🏻😎
Haha, yes indeed 😁 Many thanks indeed for watching Craig. Much appreciated 😁👍
Great video Pete. My son loves his big rock but probably doesn’t drive it as hard as you!
Oh yes it's a great truck. Mine has been given an especially hard time since I put the 4000kv system in! Many thanks indeed for watching 😁👍
You never fail to make me chuckle ! 😂
Hiya Derek. Many thanks mate 😁👍
I was impressed with the arrma modular setup . Job well done Pete 👍 good information 😊👍

Hey! Nice breakdown. I really need to do this to mine. Such fun bashers! Cheers
Hi there. Oh yes if yours sounds crunchy then you need to get it sorted. Many thanks for watching 😁👍
Do you know the bearing part number?
The ones on the input gear are AR610001 and the ones on the diff outer are AR610007. You can find the part numbers on the Arrma site www.arrma-rc.com/en/interactive-exploded-view?pid=ARA4312V3
Very useful, thank you!!!
Glad it was useful. Many thanks indeed for your kind feedback 👍👍

@@PeteWylieRC Good to know, I'll pick up a spare spur gear. Thanks Pete!
Do I need locktie on the diff screws?
No you don't use locktight when screwing into plastic because it desolves it 👍
@@PeteWylieRC Thank you
@@PeteWylieRC what about all metal diffs?
@@cypherzz-_-5804 oh yeah if you are tapping into metal then threadlock is good 👍
The screwdriver The Long screwdriver where did you brought it
I can't remember but if you Google 2mm hex driver you will find one 👍
Good job friend 👍🤗
Many thanks indeed. Much appreciated 😁👍

Pete you should get your replacement parts from Jennys RC, and they are significantly cheaper than retail, you just have to wait a week or so for delivery
Hi there. Many thanks for the top tip. I'll check them out next time I need a bit. Thanks for watching 😁👍
@Pete Wylie RC it's where I get all my spares from, they buy ready to runs and strip the down, so brand new parts dirt cheap👍👍
so many crap videos out there claiming to tell you how to fix X problem which starts with badly shot blurry footage and devolves to Ok thats all guys lol then 20 videos of speed runs Wow guys works great ok subscribe while you are sitting there with a deskful of useless parts
But I digress.
Thank you for making this video
Haha I've not seen those videos but glad you found this helpful and many thanks for your great feedback. Very much appreciated 😁👍
Only one inuendo this video, are you finally growing up Pete? Please say no lol
