ARRMA Big Rock 4s 80mph+ Speed FREAK!!! overview and spool test...
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- When the need for speed hits, why not keep it interesting with a slammed BRCC. Here's a follow up of my spool creation from January 2019. Finally giving her a proper test with bigger electronics. Still a work in progress, but she already hauls ass for a budget speed build. Hoping to get her fully dialed soon. Until then, I'll keep experimenting and learning along the way.
You know what, I’m 61 now, and I came into this hobby for my Grandchildren. I’ve lead a physical life. Army, coal mine face worker, and until my body got screwed through major spinal injury I’ve always been an outdoor hunting type of man.
All this technology and talk flies over my head.
I’ve spent a considerable amount of cash already, but when I look at these videos I feel overwhelmed x
The 3s Arrma rigs are just top-notch on durability, modifications, and SPEED! Sick build Rich!
Thanks so much Rey 🤗. Couldn't agree more Brother. It's easy to get consumed with 6-8s rigs and overlook how truly fun and capable the 3s platform is. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
just got the big rock 3s 4x4 revision 3 today with 50c batteries and its literally insane.....i had a team associated rc10gt back in the day(15 years ago).....and i think this battery powered 3s would kick that nitro booty all day.....its krazy. Def recommend for the ex-hobbyist returning to rc cars
@@shawnonsens3377 couldn't agree more Brother 🤗. It's Crazy how far brushless electric has come 👀. Definitely got me back in the hobby. 🍻😎💪👊👊
That Tp motor is going to take this rig to the next level.
See I knew that 37t would work i just couldn’t grasp the screw part. I asked my hobby shop guy and he was like no no no making me seem crazy but i knew it was possible. Thank you so much man this is amazing to me.
You bet Brother 👊!!!! I told my LHS what I was thinking and they just said "Do it Bro 🍻". This spool is super light, yet ultra strong. The 38T fits perfectly 👌😎💪👊👊
What a blast Rich 😮 Very quick that little thing 👍 Your mod 1 spool is a big improvement to the pretty tough drive train. With the tires and you suspension mod this guy is really stable at speed 80+ 👍 That's impressive! 😘 to you
Thanks so much dear Kimberly 😍. Been wanting to try this for so long. Just got put on the shelf doing M2C testing and other projects 🤗. So happy the spool and suspension set-up is working!!!! It's a rush seeing this light platform whizzing by still picking up speed 😱🥰🥰. Very challenging too 🤗😘😘😎💪👊👊
KICK ASS build Brother Rich!!😱She's a little Blue devil on wheels!!🔥Nice of you to go over the build and mods! All looks killer!😍Sweet rips and passes! Congrats on 83 with 6s!😱 Not bad at all for a 3s rig running a truck bod!💪So much fun to tinker and experiment new setups! Having a street ripper is a blast! Awesome show and tell and rip bro! Take it easy!😎🚀💪🤘🤘🍻
Thanks so much Brother Eric 😜. She's a little Screamer 😱🤣🤣. Figured it was time to finally give my spool a better test and get the BRCC back out too. She's a bit squirrely past 70 compared to the heavier rigs, but does good with a touch of AVC 👌. Just can't use it when trying to drift 😂. We'll see what she's got left in her 🤔. Definitely a fun project and nice change of pace. Really appreciate it Brother!!!! 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Thanks for all the info. Definitely doing this mod.
80mph 😳🤘😍. Definitely stepping into the Infraction Speed territory there brother Rich. Love your ideas, creativity and setup Bro. These 3s/4s Rigs can definitely pull some serious Power and Speed when turned out just right. Impressive build and shakedown run with your Speed freak creation brother.
Thanks so much Brother Chris 😜!!!! The rain has FINALLY returned here so the timing was right to get the builds going 😍. So fun to finally test this spool setup 👀. Lots more experimenting to do, but she's moving pretty nice for a lightweight 🤣. Just gotta turn off the AVC to drift this sucker 😱😂😂. She's a serious challenge to keep from spinning out. Really appreciate the kind words as always Bro 🤗🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
These trucks can do so much! #ARRMA did a great job with them. You did a great job making this 1 your own. I love it. That spool is sweet to. Can't wait to see more from this!
Thanks so much Jessica 🥰. ARRMA truly did a fine job with the engineering 👌. Stoked they went back and improved upon stuff even further. Having a Blast experimenting with this Ripper 😜👍👍😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 Yes, it keeps the blood pumping for sure!
👍👍👍👍👍
Great detail!
Now you are Mr. Speed!
Thanks so much Brother 😊. This haa turned out to be a super fun project!!!! 😜👍👍😎💪👊👊
Nice rip with the big rock😜 I'm glad to see your channel is growing brother💯😊 You do alot for the rc community you share all your info and tips and upgrades with us all. I just want to say thank you my friend and keep up the good work brother💯
Thanks so much Josh 😜. Stoked to get some long overdue projects rolling 😍. I truly love my quiet wrench and tune time. Usually just do it and enjoy the process. Often I think something might be useful to share, but I feel pressed for time and just bang out the task at hand. That said, sharing and receiving tips and ideas is one of my favorite parts about our RC community 🤗. I really appreciate your kind words Brother. 🍻😎💪👊👊
What a ripper 🤙 I'm loving the spool mod! The slipstream of dust is so satisfying to watch 🌪️
Thanks Brother 😜. Stoked the spool mod worked out 👀. I remember how tough that gear was in my modified Backslash years back. Handles 6s no problem. Love the dust slipstreams too 😍👍👍😎💪👊👊
Man Rich Thanks For Bringing It Back.So Blown Away Totally Different Animal Beast.Sick Uprades.Also Seen The Sneak Peak On The Version `3 Big Rock Its Gonna Kill.Great Vid Always Looking Forward For The Next One.Great Job.
Thanks so much Javier 😜. Having a Blast with this BRCC Speed conversion 😱🥰🥰. She's doing great, especially for being so light 👀. Can't wait to Rip the V3!!!! Wind and rain here now, but have some nice days in the forecast. 🍻😎💪👊👊
After seeing your ARRMA Senton 4s vid I had to pick up a Hobbystar 3670 motor for my senton. Hobbystar 3670 motor just came in the mail on Saturday. Currently setting my gear mesh ready for a bash tomorrow.
I run a hobbystar 550 3500kv on 4s in my senton, the 20t is fast but the 26t is NUTS!. Definitely vent your body, turns to a parachute at about 45mph and tries to fly away!
Man just a killer mod Rich and info at the same time awesome
Thanks so much Dhon 🤗. Stoked to finally put a better test on this spool set-up. I took her apart later to check the teeth and she's hanging tough. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Now that thing is moving. Appreciate the break down.
I love it, the bash king is progressing into the speed side also. Awesome work brother.
Thanks so much Brother Phil 😜. Appreciate you getting the Ripple Killer out so quickly too 👍. Excited to get my Typhon 6s based speed drifter going soon too 😱🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
What a little pocket rocket 🚀 💯 Especially being so lightweight. Probably what makes it such a handful @ high speeds , that & the SWB. Can't wait to see what you do next Rich 💪 👊
Thanks so much Jason 🤗. She's definitely light for this kinda speed and acceleration 😱🤣🤣 but so much FUN 😍. Really have to ease into harder throttle. The AVC at 20-30% is super helpful 👍👍😎💪👊👊
Great little ripper you built there Rich. Super helpful and informative bench breakdown too in case some want to use some of these mods! Great help to the community and super entertaining, and that's from a Zero experience speed run guy, I still really enjoyed this brother.
See ya letter bro
Thanks so much Dennis 🤗. This is something I'd wanted to do since early last year, just never got around to it. Hearing guys passing 100 😱 using my simple spool mod definitely lit a fire 👀. Feels awesome to see some results first-hand. This rig accelerates so fast it's Nuts 🤣. Looking forward to pushing her to the limit. 👍👍😎💪👊👊
Rich 8inch wheelie bar will keep it down brother nice awesome video much love👊🏁🏁
Thanks so much Kizzel 🤗. Happy Thanksgiving Brother 🍻. Appreciate the tip as always. Have a blessed day with family 😍🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Dang bro 👍🤙 also what a sweet parking lot!
Thanks Brother 👊. Definitely a nice spot to sort out the handling and tuning 👍. Love the fall colors too😍. This park is a local treasure. 😎💪👊👊
Thing gets up an.moves out ! Very nice
Thanks Levi 🤗. She's moving about great with this setup. Super fun and challenging 🍻😎💪👊👊
Fun project Rich! 77mph on a BRCC is crazy fast 😱😱 I love those hobbystar 3670 motors 👍 83mph at the end on 6s 🚀🚀
Thanks so much Brother Aaron 😜!!!! Just got my 29T and Phil's Ripple Killer 6s yesterday 😱. Super fun experimenting with this little blue Beast 😍👍👍😎💪👊👊
Sick build brother 👊 she was moving nice setup I see more coming
Thanks so much Brother 😜. She's picking up speed 👀. Having a Blast getting her tuned and tested 😍👍👍😎💪👊👊
Thanks for the breakdown! Love this channel
Thanks so much David 🤗. I'm digging this little Ripper 😍. It's doing well for a budget build. 😎💪👊👊
just got the big rock 3s 4x4 revision 3 today with 50c batteries and its literally insane.....i had a team associated rc10gt back in the day(15 years ago).....and i think this battery powered 3s would kick that nitro booty all day.....its krazy. Def recommend for the ex-hobbyist returning to rc cars
So awesome to hear Brother 😍. I was amazed when I jumped back into the hobby several years back. 🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
So glad to see you doing mods on the 3s and 4s rigs that spool idea is great. I just ordered that same motor but I got the 2280kv for my outcast 4s can’t wait to try it out. That motor will only do 5s the 2280 and lower it will run on 6s. Great stuff keep it coming brother!
Thanks so much Brother 😊. So stoked my simple spool is getting it done 👍. Hobbystar makes great stuff. Definitely a solid value to performance. I'm still running the 3674 2650kv in my Kraton 4s and it rips Big-time on 4s 😱. So many nice upgrade options. This platform is so versatile 😍👍👍😎💪👊👊
AWESOME MACHINE...NICE DUDE 🤘
Thanks Brother 🤗. She's moving now 😱👍👍😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 oh yes ...she IS...👍
I have a Typhon 3s that I put a Max 10 SCT combo in. I've never actually speed tested it but I know that it is an absolute animal and seeing what you're set up does chances are mine would most likely do at least 70 mph.
Do you have the 1410 3800kv motor?
@@sunnyd5944 I believe that's a castle motor. I have the 4,000 KV motor that comes with the SCT combo
Love it brother Ima actually doing the same with mine 6s box system a simple limitless spool and here we go love what you did brother I’ll take 80 for a daily
You the man as always brother! She is a beast! I see 100mph for sure
Thanks so much Brother 😜!!!! We'll see what she can do with a little more power and gear 👀😎💪👊👊
Awesome man, that is really cool!
Thanks Brother 🤗. She's getting more dialed each test 👌. 20-30% AVC is super helpful keeping her straight, but doesn't help much with drifting I've discovered 🤣😎💪👊👊
Thats some serious speeds brother 🥰, loved it.
Thanks so much dear Brother 😍!!!! She's moving nice for such a light platform 😱. Best part is the challenge 🥰. She keeps you focused at speed. 👍👍😎💪👊👊
Nice work on the slipper.
Thanks Brother 👊. Phillip Jolley and other speed guys have passed 100 using it. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 you give them driving lessons too? Lol. Your the boss bro.
Awesome going
Thanks Brother 🤗😎💪👊👊
That is a classic belter, handles pretty well
Thanks Brother 🤗. She handles nice for her weight. Just gotta ease into the throttle a bit 😱🤣🤣😎💪👊👊
Fantastic info in what you done bro. Sorry for the late watch 😖 awesome speed Run ,think you have the fastest big Rock bro 😱 carnt wait to see what it can do with a bigger motor 😉 Amazing video as always Brother 👍😎🥰👍
Thanks so much Brother Tony 🤗. This setup is so FUN my friend 😍. So stoked this easy spool mod actually works. Definitely takes some tuning to keep her on the ground and running straight 👀. Really appreciate the kind words as always Brother!!!! 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Thanks for the advice. I went 6s. It's crazy
You bet Brother 😜. I'm still blown away with power and speed everytime 👀. 6s is addicting 🍻😎💪👊👊
Awesome video brother 👊🏼 nice breakdown of what you got under the body 👍🏼
I definitely need to get out there and try out all that open space 😅 maybe this weekend I hope 🤔 weather is looking great for us 😎
Thanks so much Brother Dave 😜. We're getting impressive rain her finally 👀. Hoping to shape up some jumps now that the grounds finally moist 😍. I'm definitely down for hooking up again Brother!!! Think we have dry days ahead this weekend. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Epic! I have to say for someone who doesn't play with Speed that much you do just as awesome a job as you're Bashing. 83MPH That's hot! I have a love hate relationship with speed. I love the fact that my Talion can run a solid 72 but I always seem to find things to smash into at Speed. I just destroyed it for the 3rd time and this time I have to defer to my Shop guys for the save. I trashed and twisted the chassis so bad that all the front has to be replaced and my very fine motor skills are gone. More OT coming but this is gonna set me back some. I'm thinking about gearing her back down to stock and running 4S instead of 6S all the time. No problems when I ran that way 50+ is fast enough for an old guy!! LOL. This is one of your best!
Thanks so much Harry 🤗. This speed project has been super fun Brother 😍. I did the faster testing in this big lot specifically to avoid hitting anything solid 😱🤣🤣. Nevermind that I darted my Infraction straight into one of only 4 poles in this entire huge lot the last time doing speed passes and drifting 😝. So sorry to hear about your Talion Brother. It's deflating to see our rigs broken up 😞. I last felt it when I pummeled into that death rock with my newly built up Outcast 8s. Knew instantly that a total rebuild would be needed. Going 4s isn't a bad idea at all Harry 🤔. These rigs are still fast, fun, and super capable with that voltage. Especially, geared up a tad bit taller. Hope you have your rig back together soon. Don't sweat the occasional carnage. It sucks, but it happens to all of us my friend. 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊
That rigs movin!!!
Heck yeah Stevo 😜!!!! She's a little handful now 😱🤣🤣😎💪👊👊
Best advice I can give you is to go against something you did here. Make that thing as narrow as you can. Go back to Granite arms and grab the Typhon axle stubs and hexes. It will make your straight line stability way better. 🤘🏻🤘🏻✌🏻
Thanks so much Brother 🤗. I knew that when I went wide, but wanted her to be 50/50 speed and drift Beast 😍. My hope was to go more Go cart style so she wouldn't roll drifting regardless of speed. I might swap on the Typhon hexs as that was my original plan 🤔. If I can make her stay upright with Granite arms drifting, might just give it a go, but my spots aren't totally smooth either. Really appreciate the suggestions though. Your Typhon 3s GT build is on a whole other level 😱🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Great job 👏....lol I did the same thing with the traxxas gear
What motor?
@@RCSpeedster100 this is a Hobbystar 3670 3050kv 🍻😎💪👊👊
Impressive brother! 💪🏾💯
Thanks Brother 🤗. This simple spool mod has ramped up her potential. Super fun project!!!! 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊
How you know you're old skool Arrma fam. When you have Voltage hobbies stuff on your rigs. 🤣💪👊
Yeah I thought they went well with body and they've stuck ever since 🤗. Kenny with Voltage might be coming back with some new parts 🤔. We'll see. Always nice to have options 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 hey his front brace and servo mount are still on my Kraton
@@Crewchief227 I still run several of his parts too 👍. No question he made quality 7075 upgrades.
Lol u gave me a idea I'm gonna put my notorious wing on my granite since I keep breaking it 🤣
Wow🤩, Big Rock is a great speed😎👍. Monster trucks should be this fast.👊 I saw a nice video rich
Thanks so much Brother 😜. Some Monster trucks are this fast, but scary as heck to be around 😱🤣🤣. We'll see if I can get her to 90 👀🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
That's sick! Make it faster! I bet there aren't any big rock speed runners out there 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Those tires look great. Would they be no good on grass? or are they strictly for road use. Thanks
These tires are great on road, but you really need knobbies or tread to run dirt or grass without the tires just slipping 🍻😎💪👊👊
Mint mate, you could try the 5th scale grps with the square hub
Yo sweet Duperbash 🚧🚧🚧
Thanks Brother 🤗🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Last I checked those shocks are out of stock... do you have a link to them?
Hey Mr. Superduper dash, well you blow my mind 😱, on this one ALSO, I avoid a concussion from the standard, crazy "SEND IT" high flying Dupers, to straight road puke from ludicrous speeds!! Man she was F A S T!! 🤜🤛 I got a small question for you, do you have a link on those rims and tires you've got in there bro? I'm thinking about putting them on my Kaiju for speed run psychosity!! If you could get back to me about them wheels and tires, I'd sure, sure appreciate it massively. 👍💯👀 Thanks man!!! ☝️
Thanks so much Brother 👊!!!! I was using both GRP S5's GT and standard dish style 42/100 dboots Speed Hoons. Here's a link to the GRP's 🍻😎💪👊👊www.ebay.com/p/1859757335
@@richduperbash2966 thanks man!!! 🤜🤛🥂🤪✨✨
Wow is all i gotta say👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Like very nice 😀👍
Some smaller dirt tires on that thing and it’d almost be like a 4s talion. (In terms of suspension look/feel).. I love that color too. ✌🏻🤘🏻
Thanks Brother 🤗. I always liked the V1 blue too 😍. I'm really hoping ARRMA will keep tweaking this platform with different options. A 4s Talion and 1/10 Infraction/Felony would be a huge hit. Not everyone wants to drop $600+ to haul ass and have fun. Truth is, the smaller rigs are more challenging anyways. 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 - 1/10 infraction/felony would be awesome! Like 45-50 out of the box with an included pinion to get to 60+. I’m sure they’d sell as fast as they could stock.
That was Mad Big Fella 😵 For Christ sake Dude you got her hammering. Have u got much steering slop ? Mines pretty bad. I just changed over the chassis in mine and been playing around with it. Looks like I’ve missed a few of ya vids 😳 Great one loved it 👍🏼😊
Thanks so much Brother Cam 😜!!!! I have some slop, but not bad with the front slammed down like this.This project is kinda ongoing. Glueing a new set of G-Locs for drifting and will likely try a top speed pass with a bigger system sometime soon 😱. My White Darling 6s street build has been getting more attention lately. Just Mad fun to rip around with and handles Killer since retuning the diffs 😍🍻😎💪👊👊ruclips.net/video/16ob98E0tVw/видео.html
@@richduperbash2966 That little Road raging Bitch is Hardcore Brother 😵 I just can’t stop thinking that the weight of these rigs let them down on a track or street circuit. I’m trying to tune a couple of my Riggs for a flat trigger lap of the Velodrome. Nice work Homie 😊👍🏼✊🏼
@@72nivo yeah I'd been wanting to do these builds for over a year 👍. Just didn't get around to it until recently. The rain was a big factor 😂. That, and I simply got fed up with my own procrastination. Super stoked how the Road rager turned out. Definitely ultra fast and durable even being largely stock parts. 🍻
Same here 100 is good
Is it 3-cell power? Great power and great torque!!!
I was running 4s and briefly on 6s for the fastest pass. 😎💪👊👊
You have links for the electrics and motor you used..I would like to do mine .badlands make it run hot ..i could put the stock tires on but then im stuck with wheels and 17mm hexs ..
I used an older 6s ARRMA BLX185 ESC. Here's a link to the Hobbystar 3670 3050kv. The wheel size has to pair with the gearing and kv selection to keep temps reasonable. Much past 150F is getting toasty. www.rcjuice.com/hobbystar-3670-4-pole-brushless-sensorless-motor-waterproof.html
@@richduperbash2966 thank you
Man that thing is sweet!! Another good one brother Rich 🤙🤙 that thing would scream with a 6s motor, might be worth a try?? 🤷
Thanks so much Brother 😜. The 6s motor is coming 👀. Just got my Ripple Killer and 29T a few hours ago. The trick is getting her dialed to track straight. Very light platform to hit warp speeds with, but FUN as heck 😍🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 well the 6S motor and battery should weigh it down a little bit more, but what about adding weights to it?
@@quadriplegicrc150 we'll see once I get that heavier motor and cap pack in her 🤔. If I ease into the throttle she'll probably be fine 👍
@@richduperbash2966 well I'll be watching for the next video then 👍 can't wait to see what you pull off brother!
omg 👍👍👍
I use the same gear set up for speed runs in my big rock. Have you tried this same gear set up for bashing/ jumps? I have the firma 150 esc and spektrum 2050 kv motor I also have a 24 tooth pinion instead of 27 tooth. I run 3s, 4s, and 6s. Great videos as well man.
Thanks Justin 🤗. No I wouldn't try running the spool for bashing personally. I think some guys have, just think the slipper helps protect the driveshafts and gears when running 2.8 wheels bashing off-road. Love the 3s line!!! 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 thanks man. I'll have to buy the stuff to make me another slipper for the 57 tooth.
Nice speed. I'm getting 90mph out of my granite. You still have some more in it
I bought a 3670 hobbystar 3050kv but i got an open can somehow, boat motor. 2 quick questions. Does the open can design matter other than dirt getting in? Is the hardware for the spool 3x6mm?
Is it a bad idea to put metal crown and input gears in the diffs and then use a slipper eliminator or make a spool keep the stock gearing and bash
I've been wondering about this for awhile I have the diffs in already and and a hot racing slipper eliminator just kinda nervous to commit because the diffs where a little expensive for my taste
@@dustinluster7636 I definitely wouldn't recommend bashing without the slipper assembly. It helps protect the gears and driveshafts from overloading. 🍻
Would you recommend the spool mod inside a stock setup. With metal diff and cvds
Hey Darren. I would never recommend the spool for anything but speed passes. It's simply too harsh on the input gears. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 cool thanks. Been doing more street bashing so I might change things up
I’ve got a Kraton 4s I love the truck but I keep having problems with losing teeth on the rear diff
Any help
My best advice is don't overtighten your slipper clutch or run really big wheels. I found original Badlands 3.8 to be perfect 👌. Other tip is keep the rear input bearings maintained and seated properly within the diff yoke. If they seize or get misplaced, the input gear will lose proper alignment with the crown gear and your mesh will be lost. Lastly, make certain you replace the stock bearing shim if you disassemble the rear diff. 😎💪👊👊
Not sure if it helps but i had the same issue. I got the aluminum yoke from hot racing and no more issues. I believe my issue was the plastic yoke can strip out the thread for the screws and loosen up causing a bad mesh in the diff.
Did I hear u say that "the avc is working great ". Rich Duperbash doesn't need avc. Well at least I don't like anything that has power over my driving skills. But I'm sure u need it going 70 on that big rock. 😎🙃🙃🤟
Light AVC works great for speed runs. Otherwise it has zero purpose in the hobby in my opinion 🍻
Nice Rich, I just got my 1st Big Basher... if I go with this tire setup, would I have to change my gear setup?
Congrats Michael 😱. You'll probably want to gear up on the pinion with these smaller road wheels. Otherwise you'll be constantly revving out the motor and not getting any real speed. 😎💪👊👊
hey rich what screws and bolts did you use for the spur gear mod? got bored of the stock big rock 😋
I used small M3 flush mount screws with nylon M3 locknuts. Also used a countersink bit to get my screw heads in just a pinch. 🍻
What tires and wheels are you running? I gotta have em! Great video!
Thanks so much Brother 😜. Sorry I missed your message. Was using both GRP S5's GT and standard dish style 42/100 Speed Hoons. The Hoons feel much more stable at speed for this lighter set-up. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Have you had any issues with the hot racing 17 adapters losing up? Put a set on my big rock and the back driver side wheel nut is losing up after a short run.
I've only had one come loose a couple times the past 2+ years. Make sure to clean the axel and barrel nut threads with 70% isopropyl alcohol and use blue, medium strength threadlock. Permatex blue medium gel works well. 😎💪👊👊
This is sorta the end goal for my granite/outcast conversion. Already runnin an 18t pinion on hot racing motor mount, but this spool has me seriously thinking. I'm not by any means a newbie, but maybe in the intermediate level of rc, so a spool is basically a slipper eliminator right? I really like this idea
I'm wondering if this will work k. the shorter chassis as you mentioned center drive shaft lenghts?
@@joshjohnson9167 the shorter Granite chassis won't be as stable at speed, but you could certainly turn her into a speed demon with the proper set-up 👍. This spool is easy to make for about 20$. Going from 57T to 38 mod 1 gets these suckers moving. Just don't try and bash with the spool. It'll put way too much strain on the other gears. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 kickass, I plan on turning it into a strictly street basher/ drifter. Quite the life this granite will have by the time I'm done with it lol. This will be its 3rd gen conversion lol. So as long as the slipper mod will get me some insane wheel speed, that's what I'm goin for. I have some extra zd racing shocks I plan to eventually shorten to smal this thing to ground. Already running the hot racing 12 to 17mm adapters, on typhon arms, so it's got a good wide stance, with hot racing adjustable motor mount and 18t pinion. I put the blx 3668 2400kv motor In. If I were to do this mod, what pinion would you suggest? The aforementioned one in the video, or smaller?
@@joshjohnson9167 gearing will depend on how much drifting you want to do vs outright speeds passes. That kv is a bit lower than the stock 3200. You'll have to gear taller for top speeds. I've found the stocker slipper (57T) paired with a 26 pinion works great for drifting on 4s. I now has my 27/38 spool set-up for passes and the slipper setup for drifting. Easy swap with separate motors and slipper housings.👍
Hey great run, are those the factory drive shafts ?
Thanks Vincent. Yes....stock driveshafts and diffs. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Hey Rich, how did you mount the ESC?
Thanks for the awesome videos! 🤩👌💪🍻
I cut the mounting screw tabs off my 150A ESC and Dremeled the stock 3s mount flat and countersunk the 2 M3 reciever cover screws. This provided a flat/flush surface to simply mount the ESC on the cover using 30lb Gorilla mounting tape. 😎💪👊👊
Thanks for the answer!
Greetings from germany! 🍻👌
That’s super rad bro! I’m trying to do the same thing with my Typhon 3s but it rubs when I put the assembly back together. Plus, it’s a bit wobbly too, I can’t seem to figure it out. How long are the screws you’re using? And which nuts? I appreciate the help Rich.
The screws are very short M3 flush mount. Didn't get an exact length. Just long enough to secure some M3 nylon locknuts. You can oval out the slipper hub holes as needed to get the 38T gear and 2 hubs lined up before tightening the screws/nuts. Also, you can get the screws seated flush with a countersink bit if you're having rubbing on the slipper housing. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Rich Duperbash Thanks for getting back to me so fast bro! That helps immensely! I think being able to oval out the slipper hub holes should do the trick.
Hey rich,
Just done the exact same setup on my 3s typhon. I ran some 106mm wheels, but unfortunally it cuts out after 1 sec. or so. I am thinking of getting the hoons OR the grp's for 4s speedruns. Did your bigrock ran consistantly with 4s and hoons? (Full throttle for more than 3 sec.) I would realy like to know...
Hey Brother 👊. I haven't had cut out issues. Normally that would be from overgearing or an ESC with inadequate amp rating. Could be from a faulty or dying servo too. 🤔
@@richduperbash2966 thx for a quick response👍 i am currently running a hobao 150amp esc, a 3670 3050kv motor and the same 38/27 gearing. I may get the grp's and put a 29t pinion in it🤔. I'll definetly think about getting the hoons or the grp's👍
my slipper clutch screw came un loosened, why is this? did 4s on it.
That's just something that can happen with most any slipper clutch. ARRMA added a small catch nut to the back side of the slipper assembly. Best solution is to add medium strength threadlock to the slipper adjustment screw so it stays set. I run most of mine 1/2 turn out from fully snugged. 🍻
@@richduperbash2966 I put threadlock in there but it seized of the the movement of car?
@@43rocket that's weird 🤔. Unless it got some into the bearings, the slipper assembly should spin freely once installed and rolled with the car. I always give threadlock a full 24 hours to set up. Make sure you put the assembly back in correctly. Might also check the motor and input gears are spinning without problem just in case you have a separate problem.
@@43rocket this might be a helpful demo for you. ruclips.net/video/g7HHxXzF-VQ/видео.html
@@richduperbash2966 thanks Rick!
Sorry, I'm new to all this stuff, what exactly did you use the fuel tubing for? Is it inside the shocks? Thank you.
Yes indeed 👍. I slid on fuel tubing on the shock shafts inside the shock bodies under the pistons. That effectively shortens the shock length to keep the truck low to the ground for high speed stability. I purposely dropped the nose further than the rear to keep the truck from getting airborne at full throttle 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 ok perfect that makes sense. Thank you!
Hey mate, just wondering how you attach the esc ? Just double sided tape or is there a secret ? Cheers for the info !
Hey Brother 🤗. Yes I used 30lb rated Gorilla mounting tape. I also Dremeled the reciever box/ESC mount flat at the mounting holes and counter sunk them so the ESC itself sits flush. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 very cool indeed mate ! I'll have to try that out !
Hey,thinking about possibly doing up a Drag car and using this to start with ,I think as fast as they are to start it would be good to go in 2wd with a wheelie bar,any idea Rich or another Arrma would be better to start from?
I think these would make great drag rigs, just not sure how the rear input gear would fare in 2wd 🤔. I'd think you would lose lots of burst speed honestly. The fastest real road cars are all wheel drive. I think the Fury or Fazon might be 2wd, but have to check 🤔😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 Thanks,I saw they had a 2wd Granite ,but it was a 6 yr old video .difference between the 2 is pretty much Big Rock frame and shaft length wise? Everything I've been looking into is old,Think the Fury might be the way to go for sure though thanks!!
@@91TurboSedan yeah I'm not sure on the the gears and diffs can handle either 🤔. They weren't designed for bigger power.
Iam going to do the spur mod I have a max10esc 3200kv hobbywing , how fast u think it can go 4s I bought an assortment of pinions, or is that not a good motor for speed
Depending on your wheel and suspension set-up and final gearing, probably 70+ no problem 👍😎💪👊👊
I just dropped an 3200kv in mega granite can't stop it from tiping over🤣 i want to put that typhoon stance on it any suggestions where I can find it
You could get the Typhon 3s arms and links off Jenny's RC and go wide. Another option is simply adding Hex extenders. Won't be quite as tipsy. 😎💪👊👊
I just hit 87mph with your setup🙃
Dude that's friggin AWESOME 😱. Glad it's working out Brother 🍻🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 haha it hasn't worked out realy well😂. It cuts out badly after 1 sec. or so. I tried everything, even a ripple killer, but it still cuts out. Mmmmaybe it depends on what esc you have????? Idk. I will try to fit a 2200kv robotronic motor in it. But anyway, keep on shredding bro💯
I'm looking to make a spool like what you did so I can use traxxas spur gears and the ease of not using a slipper. Are their any tricks to drilling the holes in the aluminum to make sure the spur is centered correctly?
I recommend using that same 38T Traxxas gear for easiest alignment. It's helpful to use the gear screw holes as a template to mark the slipper hubs with a sharpie pen. Use a fresh bit to drill with. It's ok to oval out the holes if necessary to get the gear and hubs centered correctly before tightening the screws and M3 nuts. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Finally got the parts all together to make this work I was unsure of what pinion to use with the 38t spool. I heard you run 27 in the video after a couple times of watching it. Is that a good place to start or what's the smallest I can run? I have a 20 atm with the stock 57 spur and a hot racing motor plate.
What motor can handle the 4s ?
What pinion?
I'm using a mod 1 27T pinion paired with the Traxxas spool gear mod I covered. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Will that hood fit on the 4s red. And white 4s kraton
It could because they use the same chassis with same wheelbase. Only thing is you'd probably have to mess with the body mounts and chop the tailgate off truggy style like the Kraton 4s body unless you ran it wingless and swapped body mounts like I did awhile back. Let me link you to the video 😎💪👊👊ruclips.net/video/_WT3g65hHik/видео.html
Hi, where best tire for speedrun, Hoons, VPpro or GRP, Thks
Probably GRP past 120mph anyways. I like the Hoons because they're a bit taller and have nice compliance and traction. They're a bit softer and more forgiving than GRP's. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Thks Rich. Cheers 🍻
Wow.your not messing around.lol
What compound tires
The GRP's are S5 GT's. Hoons were the standard 42/100 Speed dish style. 😎💪👊👊
That is so fast it leaves a tracer behind it
What pinion # you run
Think that was a 28T mod 0.8 Robinson Racing Extra Hard. 🍻
“A nice big hog”
Been watching Hardcore RC try to get 100 with his big rock. Who will get there first? Thing looks pretty awesome! Moves on 6s
Several guys have already broken 100 using my spool creation 👍. I'm fairly confident I could too. Just not a priority for me personally 😉. I like drifting more than speed passes. Ironically, I was also considering using my Hobbywing Max8 2200, but decided to throw it in my new 6s based lowrider street basher 😍🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 well I picked up a typhon 3s recently so I will definitely check it out. Hasn't been warm enough here for me to drive it but once
It seems more fun on 3s
It's more fun overall in stock form bashing dirt or at the skatepark. This was just to enjoy the build and put a better test on the spool I created. 😎💪👊👊
