ARRMA 3S GRANITE UPGRADES: HOW TO WIDEN STANCE WITH TYPHON RPM A-ARMS.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Arrma Granite upgrades: HOW TO WIDEN WITH TYPHON RPM A-ARMS. Today we are going to perform an upgrade that widens the suspension arms on our Arrma Granite BLX 3s 4x4 with a longer set made by RPM. I will demonstrate how to install the RPM arms and Arrma Typhon BLX 3S 4x4 turnbuckles as well. I will provide tool and part information for the upgrade. This is a solid, highly functional Granite upgrade. These upgraded suspension arms help widen the stance and plant the truck to reduce roll-over rate. If you have any questions, feel free to do so in the comments!
Thanx for watching!

Finally! Someone who fast towards the repair, how to and does a voice over. That makes it way easier to watch and learn. Great job!!!! Love it!!!
Hey thanx man! I appreciate that! I m all over the voiceover lol! Hope the vid helps, more how-to’s to come!!!
He said "we're not building a piano here " 😂
Put the wide kit on today and went straight out for a bash. Wow it's awesome, I can't believe how much better it hadles. So glad I've done it. Thanks again for your help. The rpm arms are awesome. John.
That s awesome! I knew you wouldn t regret it! Thanx for watchin'!
Did this last week, makes a big difference.
Set camber to -1.5mm front and rear and toe out to 1.5 each side, 3 deg total toe.
Typhon arms increases width by 36mm
Cool. Ya, it s a cheap and effective modification! I m lookin forward to having some run time and to try out our new ramp! Thx for watchin’!
They should have built it like that originally, when I look back at stock my pictures it just looks wrong!
@@Harvey600 As far as looks, ya, the stance is so tough. I be only run a pack or so to set up camber/toe, i look forward to getting familiar with it! Videos to come soon on my first couple runs. Also, i just bought my first Gopro, hopefully it will add to the content also.
Great job showing everything in detail. I used the outside holes to mount my front shocks and the Granite sits lower and the arms are about level. Installing the Typhon arms really seems to help the Granite stay on all 4s. Great job!
Thanx very much. It s a cool mod fpr sure!
This is 🔥 I just copped a 3s granite two days ago and so far my rc experience has been fun but I’m definitely making the same upgrades as u 💯
Dude, you will not regret this truck nor regret this mod!!! My kids and I beat this truck up and it does not break! Plus it s so darn fast man. Thanks for watching ! Lots of Granite content to come! Check me out on IG also! Thanx
Thanks for the great video ! I bought the granite for my daughter and I'm noticing it likes to roll. I knew there had to be an easy fix an boom here I am. I widened my 6s typhon and it helped immensely. Thanks
BOOM! Haha. Easy and effective. Enjoy that mod, it changes the truck for the better in my opinion! Thanx for watchin.!
nice one. As someone who has recently got bac into RC and is loving Arrma this is a great help!
So glad to hear that!! Thanx for watching!
Another great video. Love the tool selection & how natural this all is to you…👍🏻
Comments like these drive me to make better videos, thank you...and thank you for tuning in fine sir.
@@phillybrc I’m crushing your vid’s like food, looking forward to the next one
CLEARLY, you have good taste fine sir. Rock on my friend.
I"ve never seen such a great video in my life I wish you prosperity.!!!
형제 친하게 지내봅시다.
😎😎
Wow. Thank you for that compliment. Share with your friends! I wish you the same my friend.
Just ordered a set, can't wait to put them on and go for a wide bash, ha. Thanks for sharing. Liked and subscribed. Keep up the great video's. John
Hey thanx John, I appreciate that! You will not regret this modification!
I believe these are arms for the typhon 3s. I had all the parts to do this to my youngest sons Granite. I have to order parts to do my oldest son's Granite.
Totally different handling truck for the better. And still tough as hell!
So tough! I love the Granite widened, I havn t thought of returning to stock at all. Yes, they are from the Typhon! Thanx for watching!
@@phillybrc no problem. Very good video for the new person!
@@rcjunkie260 Appreciate that!🙏🏼
Just found you & subscribed.Great assembly vid for my Arrma Big Rock 3S BLX. Ty
Right on! Thanx Joey. 🤜🤛
One thing that I didn't hear mentioned, when you move the tires out it's like putting lighter shock oil in the shocks so you may have to adjust your shock oil weight to get the same dampening 👍
I agree completely. I didn t run the truck at that point, so I didn t know. That s my next video actually, it will be shock related. Did you add thicker weight shock oil? Thanx for watching!!
I wanted softer, so I used the stock 40wt. It's ok, but I may go up to 45...
Well, I went to 50 wt and I found the chassis was still slapping way more than stock setup. I m just putting on some new shocks to try something different. I do like the stock shocks though.
I'm using the HR bleeder shock bodies. I use big offset wheels. Mine is as wide as a 4s Kraton, but with granite arms now. I was using typhon/big rock arms, but it was too wide, and too soft.
@@ragsixracing i d love tp see a pic of your truck!
The play in the pivot balls is eventually going to increase as they wear. When the do reach that point, it makes for a very unstable ride. You end up with some serious death wobble at high speeds. I posted a video to clean up some of that slop that eventually devopls
Send me a link! I’d love to see it, thanx for the input.!
I found you video, i will watch shortly. Thx.
Just did mines last night.. followed your video took me 20 min. Now I have to install all new pivots on all the turn buckles. They are all loose. Other then that. Great video 🙌🏼
Awesome, you will love it ! Thanx.
Possibly try this on turnbuckles. ruclips.net/video/2_Yr-7Ty2tE/видео.html
I like your voice over. Good bits of humour, great explanations, easy to follow, excellent advice throughout(ie: putting bolts back in place), great editing. Subbed and sharing.
Music to my ears David, really appreciate that compliment! 👍🏻
@@phillybrc I know this video was posted a while ago but I have to Agree with David 100%, you might be the easiest RC person I've ever listened to! People underestimate how difficult it is to hit that fine balance of saying just enough yet not too much, and finding the proper inflection at the same time. You my friend have a real talent, please keep the videos coming!!
Oh wow, thanx alot. I really appreciate that. Hopefully my newer videos are done even better. (I should improve, right? LOL) I enjoy making these videos, I am open to suggestions to other topics…even other platforms. Thaks again and Happy New Year.
Thanks for sharing this bro! Might do it to my big rock 😊
Sorry I missed this!! The v3 Bigrock is already this wide….but yes if you have V2!
@@phillybrc all good bro, thats good then cos im pretty sure mine has to be the v3, i got it a few months ago
It looks great! Hmm might do this to my Vorteks
That would be a cool mod!
Another great video. It's so nice that the drive shafts are the same for the short arm vehicles as they are for the long arm. Only the Typhon uses different shafts due to wheel hex.
Thanx for watchin!
Good tutorial. We just got our Granite and Big Rock in. When these A-Arms break (which i'm sure my son will break them bashing), we'll look into modding his Granite to these Typhon A-Arms. Sub'd your channel
You wont have any regrets! Thanx alot and have fun!
Thank you for the SUB!
I like the Lego work table.
Thank you! Unfortunately my son wanted it back!😂
@@phillybrc I got some Legos...lol ... might have to send you another one!!
Damn That's A Good Idea Man.. Ps I'm hella sleepy rn
Ya it is! Runs awesome! Thanx for watchin’!
Your video is really great and awesome, Love the way you decorate your content. SUBBED👍. Keep Update
Thanx for kind words and thanx for watchin!!👍🏻
I SUBBED you back. Your channel is slick!
@@phillybrc: Thanks big big. We must build this community together. Keep your channel alive. I’m your fan dear. Good Lucks
@@TheBestMobileRC Likewise, we must support eachother! 🤜🤛
Awesome can’t wait to do this to mind
As you should!!! It makes tge truck more enjoyable in my opinion!! Thanx for watching!!!
Awesome tutorial. Im surprised with the widening you didnt have to put longer axles on.
Nope. Still running it and havn t had an issue! Thanx for the compliment and thanx for watching! Mor content to come! Feel free to ask questions if missed any details. ✌🏻
Video fatto meglio di molti altri canali molto più grandi! Il semiasse mi sembra un pò al limite però, ma comunque modifica interessante e da provare! Good job!
Grazie tanto !
What's Happening Captain
Hopefully All's Well
I bought Arrma's arms and turnbuckles to widen my Granite...I'm gonna get some RPMs. My first truck ECX Amp Crush....Kraton 4s next. I need the entire Arrma line 😁 Traxxas too!!
Great. It s a sweet modification. I know, the RC hobby can be addictive! My son and I have a laundry list of the RC’s we want!
Dope idea!! Now by chance have you had problems stripping the drive train since it’s pulling it out a Lil bit more?
No! I havn t had an issue at all actually, very pleased with the upgrade! For the most part I only get positive feedback. There have been a couple of people reach out with driveshaft issues but perhaps they had underlying issues. Try the upgrade! Thanx for watching!
Awsome,, its as if you new i needed a guide on this,, love my granete v3 but she does need be slightly wider,,, thanks soo much,, i will b subbing 🙏❤️
Glad to help!!! Appreciate the sub man!!!
Iv now got the typhon 3s blx a arms and 1/8 zd raceing shocks . The granite is now a beast !
Haha. I can read minds! Thanx for watchin’ and send that BEAST!
i widened my Vorteks and stuck the Ragnarok Tires on it. I have never used the katars that it came with. WideTeks kicks ass
Oh cool. I bet the katars are good for ripping on the street? I have yet to try them. I am a big fan of the stock Granite tires. This is a wicked mod either way!
I have been having to cut down some 4s axles for my 3s vorteks but I was thinking it would be better for this situation since it takes away some of the distance for 3s axles and you could just cut the 4s version to be perfect for this setup if it has to be cut at all. Seems like it would be more durable. Those axel splines would have more grip
I would say this is a good approach and would try this , but I dont have a huge half-shaft issue like many do. I may try it either way! Thanx!
Those are typhon 3s arms.
I FINALLY did this yesterday it literally took me months...lol only thing I need to do is change my turnbuckles. O and I used Arrma but soon I'll upgrade to RPM lol
Hey RIGHT ON. The Arrma will work fine! You will enjoy how the truck drives I’m sure. Let me know how it works out for you. Thx.
You do a good job with your video. Thanks. It’s gonna be my next upgrade .
Thanx alot!!! It s a solid upgrade!!!
Hi Sir. Did you have issue so far keeping the granite driveshaft instead of using typhon one’s. I’m just asking cuz I broke a rear driveshaft and I’m wonder if I bye the granite driveshaft or typhon. Thanks in advance for your answer. Sorry for my English I’m a French Canadian.
@@thejpnoel No problem! No , I havn t been having issues. If i m not mistaken, the Granite and the Typhon driveshafts are the same but there is a slight difference from front to rear…although interchangeable. Hope this answers your question. 🇨🇦
@@thejpnoel yes, i just checked they are the same from Granit to Typhon. Different between fron and rear though. Thank you my friend
Thank you very much for the info 👍🏻
Thanks for the video! Might be doing this. Too bad I bought a ton of stock arms already ;-D
Always works out that way. Lol. You won t regret it, I’m tellin you! Thanx for watchin.
@@phillybrc Thanks for the reply! I got all paranoid and bought a ton of stock spares because my last RC went obsolete due do discontinued broken A arms ;-D Now I feel dumb as parts I didn't stock up on break and I don't have them and the parts I did buy I want different ones....
Iam definitely going to do that it just tips dead easy
Just give it the big rock stance and its will be the best 3s truck
Cool vid 👍
YES! I’ve had no desire to revert the suspension to stock! You should give it a shot . Thanx for watchin’, hit the 👍🏻if you see fit. Thanx!
@@phillybrc just done the arms well better can’t believe the difference proline wheels next i think
🎯 AGREED! We love this RC! It s so fun. Thanx for watching.
@@miketube6662 NICE! Oh ya, killer upgrade. Prolines are killer too. Super grippy. I suggest you turn down your punch a bit to get used to them, so you don t pop a driveshaft or strip a gear. I vented mine also
Did this and it looks great. Does have its disadvantages though. Car no long pulls off flips quite like it used to and the drive shafts seem to have more strain on them as mine have popped out, despite me adjusting the slipper clutch. Hoping some knew shafts and fiddling with the slipper again will solve the issue. If not I'll have to revert back to the standard width.
I havn t had any driveshaft issues, and my kids kill my truck. My only complaint is suspension. I have more chassis slap and less travel than i used to. I ve been experimenting with positions, oil weights and pre-load settings (which has been fun.). Ultimately, I bought ZD Racing shocks, we ll see how they react, i ve been broken down and can t get parts. Video to come! Thanx for watching.
@@phillybrc same here with the ZD shocks. If I can get this thing running right with minimal issues I'll be well pleased. At the moment though it seems to be a strain on it, and I don't know why. Almost feels like it could do with upgrading to 4s or something
Really? Omg , mine seems so fast. I rarely run it at 100%. Maybe check your pinion mesh or for bad bearings, this will feel like extra resistance or drag. Good luck.
Wow, I’m doing this ASAP
It s a solid upgrade!! Thanx for watching!
Nice video, you have a new sub 😁, btw I'm trying to get my first rc, and already have my eyes on this model, looks awesome, any advice? Also I was considering some nitro model by traxxas but seems to the electric way is the better option
I would definitely buy this truck or any of the 3s Arrma lineup. Having said that I believe I m getting a second 3s Arrma vehicle. I am so partial to this truck and you will fall in love with the hobby once you make the purchase. It is very durable and stupid fast, but you can slow it down greatly by using a 2s battery. Also, the radio has a 50%,75% and 100% settings. Thirdly the esc(electronic speed control) has variable “punch” settings. Parts are well-priced and available everywhere. Good luck! I appreciate you watching the video and the SUB!
@@phillybrc awesome ! Thanks buddy !
@@phillybrc one last thing, Im planing to get some Zee 3s batteries from Amazon, but the connector seems quite different, any toughs ? or others you can recommended, budget friendly :)
I buy EC5 from amazon and solder my self. You may need one adapter for the charger though...depends on the charger but it may be xt60 or xt90.
Yes buy a V3 granite. You won't regret it. It's one of my favourite RC's.
That’s one heck of a bench Lego mat subscribed man 👍💪🏽☝️

Thanks for this !!!
Thank you for watching!!
cool video and great info
Thanx brother, appreciate you.
Hey Philly this is an awesome tutorial! Sorry to ask, can I do this using the stock turnbuckles on the 4 corners? I’m in super budget upgrades mode lol. Thanks 😊
This is an awesome mod! Im afraid you cannot, you need the extra length. Thx agaian for watching. You can use the plastic links that come on the typhon mega (brushed). It may be cheaper!
@@phillybrc thanks for your help :D I will then. Cheers
Good stuff! Got my aluminum A-Arms coming tomorrow to do this, and wing mount should get here soon. Very helpful!
where did you find the wing mount?
Aluminum? Wow. Who makes those?
@@donblake329 Are you in Canada? I ordered it from Big Boys with Cool toys, near Toronto
Oh really?! Cool! I order from them. How much were they there? Thanx for watching!
Cool! Yes, I am in Canada. I order from there occasionally.
You said you need 6 of the turnbuckles. They come 2 to a pack. Do you need 3 packs then? I just ordered a Granite for my kiddo, so plan on doing some upgrades. Thanks for sharing. The truck looks sick with the wider stance.
Yes! Get 3 packs! 4 in the front, 2 in the rear. This upgrade is solid. Thanx for watchin’ man!
@@phillybrc no prob.
Thanks for the video!
Hope it helps. It's a really cool and effective upgrade. Thanx for watching!
Did your posted measurements on the turnbuckle lengths (eye to eye) change after running it?
Nice 🙌🏼
Thank you
Great job!
Thanx sooo much!!
Thanx on the sub! I subbed back! Look forward to checkin it out!
@@phillybrc I seen that. Thank you. I appreciate that. We should have some good videos soon. Some interesting stuff, I hope
Do you know if this wider stance mod can be done on the Senton 3s as well? I know the a-arms are the same for the Granite and Senton so am I correct in assuming this would work on my Senton as well? Great video and it makes it look much tougher!
Yes! Totally do-able!! I think i widened Senton would look insane! Not sure how the body would fit..Thanx for watching
@@phillybrc thanks so much for responding. I love how you respond to your viewers. Thats one of the reasons I watch your channel. I love my Senton as is, but I agree, I think it would look SICK with a wider stance and provide it much more stability. I've already trimmed the body to accommodate larger wheels and tires and have ordered ZD Racing shock which should raise the stance just a bit, so I think it would work. Keep you updated. Thanks for the idea! 👍👍
@@bigdeal5394 Right on brother, ya I d love to know how you make out. Email a pic sometime. Philborrelli@hotmail.com. Thanx for watchin!
Easy Peazy..!!.💐🙏☝👑
HAHA. Thanx alot for watching!
How much fine tuning did you have to do to get a stock stance again? My typhon turnbuckles are backordered so I'm using my granite ones with the typhon arms and it leaves much to be desired until I get the typhon ones
I havn t put it back to stock stance but can take a little time. I m almost thinkin of buying a second set of turnbuckles and that i could switch back and forth. Little tip: the Mega comes with fixed buckles...find the length online and you re set. Thats what i plan on doing
If the Typhon had a SWB chassis, just pop Granite tires on it, proper body mounts, bumpers and done.
Yep! Which ever is easier or cost effective for you. Thanx
Does it help with the handling at all?
Yes it does, honestly I really like how the truck feels. Less rollovers, very planted and a cheap mod! Thanx for watching.
Kinda worried about the driveshafts popping out lol Any issues with that yet?
No not at all! No issues.
How did the driveshafts hold up?? You didn’t have to use the longer driveshafts, no popping out issues with them??
Not a single driveshaft issue! I will say a few guys have messaged me with that problem...I will run it like this as long as I can. Thx for watching.
LOOKS LIKE DRIVE SHAFTS WILL NEED MORE ROOM AS THEY LOOK LIKE NOT MUCH SPLINES, ANY PROBLEMS WITH THAT LOOKS GREAT I GOT A BOG ROCK AND GONNA GET A GRANITE FOR MY GRANDSON
Not an issue at all. Been running them for 2 years +. Thanx for watchin!
Might put this on my granite
Oh, you definitely should! It s a great mod. Thanx
@@phillybrc your welcome how much was it?
@@anarochrc986 Just added the links to the video. Didn t realize they weren t there. Thanx again.
Ime wondering if the Rpm stronger than a arrma set . Was out bashing cartwheels like crazy bad jumps still learning my big rock been doing this for 2 months no breaks big air. Went to bash spot . This guy breaks out a russler in 5 jumps smaller than mine broken rpm arm it was new he told me. Hmm looking at your video the Rpm much thinner . His twisted . Let us know if they hold up. So far stock arrma doesn't seem bad to me . On my slash there a must have. There way better than stock but have broken a few.Bash on bro.👍
I can tell you, that video will be 2 years old next month….i changed the FRONT arms 2 mos ago. I am still running the rears. So, I am a fan. Now, I read and heard that RC’ers dislike them for certain model cars. I know for 6s Arrma Kraton, many would rather the Arrma EXB arms. So, possibly the Rustler version sucks. Hard to say. For me, I will initially replace with RPM , then form my own opinion. Thanks for watching
great vid! quick question where did you get the tires and what hardware is needed to get wheels on truck?
These are the stock tires and hardware.
Sorry I ment the badlands tires and I'm in Ontario Canada any site you recommend
@@m.g.5477 oh cool, which city in Ontario? The link for the 17mm hexes and tires are in this link. The sites I use are Great Hobbies, Zonehobbies and Eliminator RC. Thx! ruclips.net/video/XqD1Eq5v4iE/видео.html
@@phillybrc London where do you run your trucks at in your vids? looks like a good place
@@m.g.5477 I m in Welland. Niagara Region. It s a flat gravel spot along side the canal!
I cant imagine this is good for the threading in the axles
This upgrade hasn t given me any problems! In fact, I still love the Granite like this and have yet to return it to stock stance. Thanx.
Can you add a link to buy everything we need in the description please
It s in the video and in the description. Thanx for watching!
Thanks for the video! Will be doing this mod tonight! As people have said, the RPM ones are prone to bending, in the future, can I replace the arms with arrma Typhon 3s original ones?
I like the RPM ones bcause if they bend, it s easy to just flip them and install on the oppesite side. No big deal. Yes, you can use stock Typhon and Big Rock arms. Thanks for watching
@@phillybrc thanks for the info bud! Good vid, do I do camber and toe adjustment according to typhon spec?
@@truongyboi1989 yes, but you buy the fixed plastic links that come on the Mega brushed version. They flex and don t bend, many are going this route!
@@phillybrc thankyou, I'll take a look!
Nice mod bro
Thanx man! Works great! Thx for checkin it out.
Keep a eye on those rpm arms they flex alot and can cause broken or bent shock shafts. Over time they stay bent out of shape un unevenly. And cause your rear shocks to rip out from the arm when landing because they flex so bad.
Thanx man. You are absolutely right on that lol. Now I just flip them iver and switch side. They ve been great since. Thans alot!
@@phillybrc don't let them bend too much before you swap. They can crack and snap. You can try boiling and put right in freezer for 5 minutes to help stiffen a little.
@@phillybrc went through 2 sets of rpm arms on my kraton 4s. After bending and breaking 6+ front and rear shock shafts. I'm back to stock until I order aluminum arms.
Is the same width as a big rock.
The newest version, yes. Also, same as Typhon. Version 2 BigRock is narrower
You can use outcast 4s arms to make it much wider
I heard about that, havn t seen much about it though. Did you do it?
I've got a granite I'm slowly rebuilding to race on street and dirt track ... Not really going to jump or stunt with it..... definitely mudding a lil though..... should I get aluminum driveshafts and a arms
Personally, I would never buy metal arms. Driveshafts possibly, for speedrunning only…depending on the speeds of course.
Awesome video. Does this work on a Granite Mega v3?
Yes it does! Thanx for watching.
@@phillybrc thanks alot bro. Just subscribed great content keep it up!!
@@razo8812 Thanx for that!! Appreciated
i have a brushed granite that i have upgraded to a brushless granite and the brushed granite does not have turn buckles in the first place, could i just get arms that already are the proper distance or do i have to buy the granite ones and then get the bigger ones? (im asking if there are ones are big enough that i dont have to buy multiple and put it all together)
You can buy the AR330541. Composite links for the Typhon. Should be perfect length. You ll need 4
How much more width does it have now I measured mine at 13.5 and I’m trying to figure out how much wider it would be
You gain 1/2" each side, a noticeable difference in handling and looks. Thankx!
How the stock axle are holding with this mod ?? they seems to be stretched to the limit???
They aren t though, same driveshafts thst typhon uses!
Do you need to buy the different turnbuckles what’s the difference from the stock ones
You do, as stated in the video. You need more length since you re widening the the stance. That help?
How much wider does this make it? It doesn’t look like more 1/4 of an inch per side
It s like 1/2” each side. It does alot for stability! Try it and let me know how it goes.
I'm confused by the use of stock turnbuckles. I seem to only have a few threads left after adjustment. Doesn't feel strong.
Is there an alternative or the turnbuckles?
Stock Typhonturnbuckles, not stock Granite turnbuckles.
Hey do u have to buy new drives hats also for the extra lengtg
No you dont, since the the Granite and Typhon use same length driveshafts. Best mod! Thanx
Do the drive shafts not pop out? Do you not need to change them?
You do not need to change the driveshafts, the Typhon and Granite use the same driveshafts actually. Good to go!
Didn’t know I would need new pins lol
Which pins? Hinge pins?
@@phillybrc lol nevermind I figured it out user error thanks!
You know if this widens the vorteks, or is it just as wide as the Typhon?
Yes it widens the Vorteks
@@phillybrc awesome, thank you sir.
@@jessjoshwyatt3571 NO, Thank You!
What’s the measurements on your arms after you fine tuned? Like top and steering arms
www.arrma-rc.com/en/product/composite-link-set/ARA330541.html. I used the length of these arms from the Typhon Mega. I don t have the measurements, sorry
do you know if you can use the typhon 6s turnbuckles? that's all I can find
Not offhand. The exploded view on the Arrma website will be able to show you. I m guessing not though
Parts just came in should I adjust camber n toe after the upgrades or one by one as I go along?
I recommend doing all 4 at once, after the fact on a flat service.
Have you though of switching the Granite Chassis with a Big Rock Chassis?
No, I havn t because I also have a typhon with truck tires. Typhon and Bigrock have same chassis. Thanx
Can I do the same even though I have a brushed motor on mine?I don't see how I can use turnbuckle or am I missing something?
You can but you would need to buy turnbuckles and rod ends listed in the video or you can buy ARA330541 for composite links. Does that make sense. Hope this helps.
Thank you
Wonder I own the typhon 3s as well should just be able to swap yeah? Lol already have the 17mm hr hexes that gave it a wider stance as well with this should be killer lol
Yes! Not should be, will be!! It s an awesome mod for sure. You ll love it. Thanx for watching Kyle.
@@phillybrc anytime man always looking for new things to do with the granite although I have changed it so much haha you wouldn't even know it was unless you look at the chassis lol
@@kylefletcher1002 Right on, have fun with it!
@@phillybrc yo Philly I used my parts from the typhon which was already set to the typhons needs I wonder if I even have to mess with the camber and toe I never researched that stuff but isn't that just set because of the arms length or is it more in depth than that lol
@@kylefletcher1002 if it was good on your typhon, chances are good that you should be fine. Not too precise for bashing but it is if you re racing.
I’m doing the same on my senton what are the length of the turnbuckles
Right on! They should be in the description! Thanx!
Where did you get the arms from ??? I would like to do the upgrade to my truck ??
The arms were just bought from my local hobby shop. They are a common part, google them and someone should be able to ship to you. Thanx for watchin’ bro!
question what electric screwdriver do you have? I am looking for one and not sure what i should get
DEWALT 8V MAX Cordless Screwdriver Kit, Gyroscopic, 2 Batteries, Electric (DCF680N2) a.co/d/7MVJ0zm. This is what i m using now and I love it. It gyroscopic. 👍🏻
OK thx man looks good I'll grab that
@@m.g.5477 Good move!
How much wider do those arms make the truck.
Can t remember actually. Just over an inch total. I think the video mentions…
you used stock drive shafts? no issues?
Nope. No issues at all! Still ruunnin this Granite! Thx
Hi, iv been offered one of these nearly new for £240..would you recommend it at all? Cheers
This truck is absolutely awesome! I m not sure how much money that is but I know you will enjoy!!
@@phillybrc About $300ish. Ok sounds good.
No need to change drive shafts?
No, they are the same length the Typhon uses. Just a little less “over-lap”. THANX
I have the vorteks this should work no?
Yes it will!
Gonna do that is it the same width as the Big rock now??
Yes it is! Sorry I missed your comment somehow>
So this upgrade will help it not roll over as easy?
Absolutely. It s much more planted. It makes for a fun ride!
Does it backflip as well with the wider arms as with the stock?
@@t3floz yes. Totally. All pros, no cons in my opinion. Thx for watchin
@@phillybrc nice man! How has it been holding up durability wise?
@@phillybrc do it get as wide as a big rock?
@@t3floz yes. Same width as Big Rock and Typhon. Check out some of my running Granite videos please. I have some bashing vids you may enjoy! 🤜🤛
What tool do you use for getting the pin out?
One pin gets pushed out with a real small screwdriver and one gets pulled out with pliers. Thanx for watching. Good luck.
Stupid question but if u do this will it still wheelie ?
Not stupid at all. Yes, still wheelies and increases stability.
