APOLOGIES I MISSED OUT THE NEED TO CUT OUT A SECTION ON THE REAR OF THE BODY. SIZE NEEDED TO CUT OUT IS 36mm WIDE AND 28mm DEEP
Great video very informative on how to do just you forgot to show how to cut back of body cheers
@@brettburke4040 i had done the Granite before i owned the the Bigrock, I edited this video before i actually went to use the BigRock and realized hadn't cut the back out, I had also already fitted the wing to the Big Rock (not fitted body) when lots of people were asking for a how to video, so i took the wing off the Big Rock, put everything back to stock so i could video how to put it on, I have since pinned this message say you need to cut out the back and also the size that needs cutting out
@@HardcoreRC cheers for that I did see your post regarding the measurements for the cut out I have now completed this it looks awesome thanks for the great vids that you put up keep up the great work 👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@brettburke4040 Your welcome and thanks. I was gutted when i realized i missed the cutting the body bit out, not like you can go back and add it to a video already uploaded on RUclips though, hence why i pinned the message 👍
@@HardcoreRC keep up the great work 👍👍
Here to say three things - first, thank you for this walkthrough. Extremely helpful! Took longer to find the parts at the store than it did to fit them. Second, the Typhon wing 100% fits. There’s some slight need to finesse the body in place, but it works! Third, if you cut the body mount braces from the wing mount, you can fit the body at it’s normal pitch and don’t need to drill the new holes. Learned this after drilling the holes! You lose some stability if you pull the wing down, but it’s still very solid. Thanks again!!
Thanks for watching and glad you found it helpful, Typhon wing does work, but as you say does need a bit of finessing. Was aware you could set body to normal pitch so that you for that 👍👍
Cheers! Thanks for the great guide, trucks are standing tall!
Your weclome - glad it was of use and thank you for the donation
I used this video as a blue print...worked well !
Thanks im glad it helped 👍
Excellent how to brother! I'm sure this will help a ton people... 👍
one tip I can provide to you is if you use the outcast 4s front body post on the rear of the granite it's a direct bolt on.. no drilling needed.. the body post holes will have to be enlarged slightly as the 4s posts are larger...👍👍
Thanks for the tip - i will order that and give it a go 👍👍
Hiya you was right, body has collapsed at rear! Fitted the bracket just now in preparation for the spoiler (back order😔) Thanks too for the measurements for shell cut, spot on 👌
Thanks ok, yep the rear takes a real pounding, sucks the spoiler is on back order, think they had a run on them, cant think why 😂😂
Good video! A suggestion though, instead of raising the rear body post you can just remove some material from the top of the wing mount / body post bosses in order to lower the body post all the way to factory. I just used a dremel cutting wheel on mine.
Yes that would work as well 👍👍 have also been told the Out=cast 4s body mounts fir with no new hole as well
If you do any more mods or maintenance sessions on the BRCC I'd be interested in watching vids on it. As a newbie even basic maintenance vids would be helpful and interesting.. 👍🏻
Ok will bear that in mind - to be honest i haven't had to work on the 3s cars much as they are so tough
New to Arrma but not RC. Big Rock V3 is my first Arrma. Very nice tutorial, the only suggestions I have are using 20mm screws not 16mm for the wing mount. Arrma uses machine screws in soft plastic so the extra length will give a little more bite without having to wrench the screws down. Home Depot sells a three pack for 70 Cents #213535 . Instead of drilling holes in the shock tower, buy the Granite body posts #AR320606. The rear post positioned all the way down aligns perfectly with the stock holes. Finally when cutting out the rear of the body round out the corners so they're not square, by rounding out the edges it will help the body from tearing during stress.
Thanks for the info, looks like the body mount for the V3 Granite is different than the V2 as still had to drill the hols on the V2 - checking that part number it does state for the V3 Granite which the body sits higher on, good find and tip 👍
first of all, thanks to both of you, i just used his adive and your tut. and it worked perfectly. No need to drill holes if u use the granite body posts. Thanks so much and keep up the good work
Nice touch putting the wing on the Big Rock, it really transforms it I think.
Thanks, i agree think it makes a good looking truck even more beautiful 😂😂
Thanks for sharing😊 I just purchased the v3 senton and loving it!!! Its my 3rd rc I've only been in the hobby bout 9 months now I got the xl-5 rustler upgraded it to brushless and the 21101 jlb cheetah. I like channels like your because I ask questions in the comment and get alot out of channels like yours😊 Again thanks for sharing!! I hope you dont mind me asking you stuff from time to time? I hit thumbs up for you on way out.
Your welcome - i find it good to share these tips and ideas as it helps everyone out, i also like to see other channels with their tips, have learnt a lot from other RUclips channels so like top put back in as well :) looks like your starting to build a nice fleet 👍👍 feel free to ask away, i will always give honest answers / feedback, if i dont know something i will just say i don't know 😂
Good helpful mod! Just did it on my Granite had the parts from my Typhon . Worked like a champ! Thanks 😊
Your welcome - have a funny feeling going to start seeing a lot of Granites with wings on them now 😂😂 whats the betting the next Granite has a wing from stock
Excellent Video. I used it to put Typhon wing on Vorteks. Only difference is my body mounts. Already had holes in new body so kept corteks posts
You are very welcome, good to know it also works on the Vortek which wasnt out when i made the video
Nice work. Just finished putting the wing on as per your instructions. Thanks.
Your welcome 👍 how does it look ? like it ?
@@HardcoreRC yeh it looks good. Taking it out today. Are you running stock shocks on the granite or have you upgraded?
@@gypsyschnitzer Upgrteaded to big bore shocks from ebay. Got fed up bending the 3mm stock shafts. It syas typhion but they are the same: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BIG-BORE-ALUMINUM-Shock-For-Arrma-1-8-TYPHON-3S-Sil/283832474423?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200818143132%26meid%3D56ed973ad11c4ac8a6c39d0641489a7e%26pid%3D101198%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dag%26sd%3D283836824767%26itm%3D283832474423%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLCvipPairwiseWebWithBBEV2bDemotion%26brand%3DBIG&_trksid=p2047675.c101198.m1985
Awesome video! Wish I found it before putting my wing on! I didn't drill new holes I just used the hole in the gap to secure my body mount.... so far so good.
Thanks - i have also been told the front body mounts from Outcast 4s fit in the rear with no new hole needed
You forgot to mention the cut out for the body, in order for it to fit around a bracket, that holds the Wing on,,other than that what a great presentation of how to mount the wing
Thanks for the comment - I did miss the need for the cut out then put it in the pinned comment with the size needed to cut out - i pinned it so it was easy to find !!!!
Thank you very much for this tutorial! Really excellent and we will be able to bash without having to break the body. Just a detail to mount the support I used 20mm and it works but it doesn't change anything. Thanks again !!!
You are more than welcome, had to share it as not only makes the trucks look even better, in my opinion, as you say it helps protect the back of the body 👍👍
Thanks, I made the addition of the wing on my Big Rock. Nice explanation.
Glad it helped! - i think it really finishes the truck off
It's definitely a great add on they should of came with you are correct my friend thanks for the details
Your welcome, its a failry easy mod to do, just should have come as standard really like on the Typhon 3s
Very helpful advice. The back of the Granite body does take a hammering for sure. The wing looks good too :-)
Thanks - glad you found it helpful. Its a win win in my book, protection and good looks 😂👍
Looks great! I really like the big rock with the wing for sure.
Thanks - just finishes the truck off. Probably going to put the 4s roll cage on as well 😂👍
Fabulous video instructions 5 🌟
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video. Can you recommend an electric driver to work on the big rock v3? I changed the servo the other day and fast saw with people seem to use electric lol. Are you able to get them with all the right rc bits etc? ( this is my first rc car )
dpends on hopw much you want to spend and how fast you want it, this is the one o currently use www.robertdyas.co.uk/draper-3-6v-cordless-li-ion-screwdriver-kit?gclid=CjwKCAjw3pWDBhB3EiwAV1c5rDgzsFEd35wG28Jwj-XIXmI5dv0FcKUXRvX0kMRGpQd5kJlgRyrrDhoCgrkQAvD_BwE price and speed are both ok and it comes with a torque setting which is good to make sure you dont over tighten into plastic. Bits wise then you could start with www.modelsport.co.uk/arrowmax-power-tool-tip-cased-set-4-pcs;-1-5-2-0-2-5-3-0mm/rc-car-products/367332 but these will last longer www.modelsport.co.uk/mip-speed-tip-hex-driver-wrench-set-1-5mm-2-0mm-and-2-5mm/rc-car-products/404954
@@HardcoreRC Wonderful thank you
On a BigRock it is good, but on a Granite you really really need it. The Granite Body is very vulnerable in the rear! BigRock: Put a Traxxas Maxx Roof-Skid Plate on top, on a Granite it works also to protect the roof(but less space there, a bit harder or not sooo perfect looking there)
Indeed this not only looks good but makes a huge improvement to the rear body of the Granite. On the Big Rock it has worked well for our speed version to help us hit 105mph on the Big Rock 😂😂 thanks for watching and commenting
Wing of typhoon 4S is not direct fit on Granite, need to cut the front part but result is amazing 👍🏼
Yep, Typhon wing is a bit bigger so needs trimming, Outcast 4s fits with no mod needed. These really should come with a wing from stock :)
This is very helpful, I've ordered the bits from model sport. Thank you. Great channel
Glad to help, functional and looks great as well, really should come as standard and likely will on the next update 👍👍
Nice mod! Well done! I am sure I will have mine mod when I get mine next week
Thanks, glad you liked it, its a great mod and has already saved the body a number of times on mine
@@HardcoreRC It seems like the rear body has raised slightly after the mod? Any idea how much higher? Thank you once again, great mod, SUBSCRIBED!!
@@alanawth The rear body has raised a little bit, probs 3mm, it doesn't really notice. I have been told the front body mounts from the Outcast 4s fit without needing to drill the hole. Thanks for the sub 👍👍
Nice job! Great idea 👍👍 I had been wondering when I saw your Big Rock vid 👍
Hehe - had quite a few people ask so though i would do the video, think it looks great and will help protect the body - win win 😂😂
Very clear tutorial
Glad it was helpful! 👍👍
Pretty cool👍 I love the custom stuff! Subscribed
Glad you enjoyed - thanks for the sub 👍👍
Thanks for the video and also for your advice on Sunday. Have ordered all the parts you advised and have also put whole spoiler kit in basket £33 does seem bit excessive to protect a £43 body though, although still great idea!
Your welcome on the advise - always like to help new people in the hobby and then it grows. When you look at it like spending £33 to protect a £43 body it does seem a bit questionable the spoiler does mean your £43 body will last a lot longer and likely save you havening to replaced 3 or 4 bodies over time as the back is the real weak spot of the bodies. Plus the spoiler just looks soo good 😂
The back end of my Vorteks basically folded from wheelies and landings on the wing until it was no longer viable. I really don't get why the wing is attached to the Lexan body on the Vorteks. Anyways, I was able to tweak these instructions and mount a Typhon wing to the back with the same part numbers used here. Yes you have to trim the body of the Vorteks to do it but the back end of my body was already removed from the landings. :) I just trimmed what was left and it looks pretty cool! It wasn't bad at all. Maybe 20 bucks on Horizon Hobby's amazon store.
Thats good to know this also works for the Vortek. I dont know what they just fitted the wring to the body either, seems stupid when they already have a wing mount etc that would fit that car
@@HardcoreRC Its a pretty obvious weak point. Now though, it wont be an issue! Thanks for the vid!
@@rwoods911 Indeed, it was a known weak spot on the Granite and BigRock so who knows what they were thinking on the Vortex.
Glad the video helped 👍👍
thank you Sir
Your very welcome - hope it was useful 👍
Thank you so much for uploading a video on this I will do this
Thanks - glad it was helpful for you 👍👍
Thanks for making this video👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Your welcome - hope its helpful
Thank you for great video.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks, great simple mod.
Indeed, nice and easy and makes it look great as well as protection the body
Nice mod bro. Very good body protection
Thanks - anything to save the back of the body, plus it looks nice 😂
Thanks!
Thanks you
Thanks for making this video.. 👍🏻👌🏻
My pleasure 😊 hope its helpful for you
@@HardcoreRC definitely is useful. I think I'll put a wing on when I get mine..
@@JonnyFourDeluxe 👍👍
Great tutorial! Thank you!
You're very welcome 👍👍
Excellent video
Thank you very much! 👍👍
Sick man🤩
Defo thumbs up .
Your welcome - glad it was helpful, think it really transforms the trucks, they should come with wings as standard
I know it’s an older video, But can I follow these steps for the Senton 3s? Looking to put a wing on and use the big rock wheelie bar.
Nice Tag!
Hehe - thanks - good spot 👍
Thumbs down are just trolls
Haters just love to hate, they have nothing better to do 😂
I love it! And im doing mine
Glad you like it and that it was helpful 👍👍 wing doe look good on these cars
Love the vid. Subbed to the channel :-) New to RC. Even newer to repairs/upgrades...lol! Just spent 30 minutes doing this upgrade. Worked GREAT! Until...I went to put the Big Rock body shell back on. Qont sit. Looks like I need to make some cuts on the tailgate? But no mention in this vid. Please advise. ;-)
Thanks for the sub, good to see new people getting into RC and you have made a great choice for first RC 👍 i missed out that you need to cut part of the the back away for the wing mount, however i did add this as a pinned comment with the size needed to cut out - please check the pinned comment
@@HardcoreRC much appreciated. Loving your vids as I delve into mods and upgrades. 😊
Great vid
I might add two nylon spacers under the wing to higher it a bit more and
Two longer screws about 15 mm at a guess
Great vid 👍
Glad you like and found useful 👍👍 yes you could add some spacers and raise the spoiler / wing up
So you cut the body? How did you did it? Best way to measure and cut ect. Great vid. Thank you !!
Sorry - as i had already fitted i forgot about the body. Yes you need to cut a bit out the back. Will pin the size
Ok. Cool 😎 thnx.. Keep the good work! I love it..
@@mora9426 Thanks 👍👍
@@mora9426 Thanks for the support 👍👍
Why would you want to add a rear wing on vehicle that already can’t keep the front wheels on the ground? Wouldn’t it be better suited for the front?
Few reasons, makes it look way better, protects the rear of the body which is a weak area, doesnt make it wheelie any more
hey bro have you tried you kaiju shocks on your big rock yet? I was told that it adds an inch of clearance and apparently fit right in
Haven't as didn't know they fitted, plus its real hard to get any Redcat parts in the UK, also have other plans for the big Rock, coming very very soon
I was watching another video of heavy metal rc and he said the the typhon wont fit because the screw holes are further back than on the outcast wing that u used. Is there a way to make it fit?
Sorry im not sure as have never tried to fit it, you may be able to drill new holes in the wing to change its mounting position or would have to trim some of the wing off
Clever
Thanks - hope you liked it 👍
Did you have to cut the big rock body to fit the wing and wing mount?
We did yes, i have pined the size to cut in the comments, i had actually already cut and fitted when i did the video, took everything off and then filmed putting it back on, just missed the cutting out bit
Does the Typhon 3S wing fit ok when used on the Big Rock or will it hit the body? I know the body will need cutting to account for the mount.
Typhon 3s Wing will hit the body
@@HardcoreRC thank you. Very much appreciated. I will get the same wing as you have. Great vid by the way.👍
@@TheWightHunter No problem - glad it could help 👍
Just curious, why does the body sit like it's raised in the back?
Its raised a little at the back due to to putting on the wing mount
Awesome!
Glad you think so! 👍👍
@@HardcoreRC I want one for christmas, and it shoud have that wing from the ver y first day!
@@207esmeril Hope you get for Christmas - will be a good day for you
@@HardcoreRC you haven't got any problems with the plastic cvds?
@@207esmeril Not had any issues with the stock CVD's on any of our cars (Granite, Senton, Typhon, Bigrock, Outcast)
Are you sure the Kraton 4-s wing fits. I’m having trouble with the fit. Any suggestions?
Haven't tried the Kraton 4s wing only the Outcast 4s Wing, others have said it does fit, but never tried it myself
@@HardcoreRC I got it to fit. I had to cutout the lower level of the wing. It won’t fit stock. But I have an oscillating multi tool that makes that a breeze. It looks pretty cool. I also put badlands mx28 on it and a black traxxas max roof skid plate on it. Also converted axles to 17 mm using m2c racing convention. Man this thing is awesome.
@@thomashernandez4027 Thats good to hear, MX28 are such a great tire for these cars, really transforms them and adds so much air control
.
Are there other options for front bumpers other than the tbone raci g option? Something that protrudes out a little more?
For which cars ? the 3s line i use the POS front bumper from the Kraton / Outcast 4s - fits just the same, you can see it on the Typhon in the Big Rock unboxing Video - this bumper right at the bottom of the page: www.pos-modellbau.de/shop/marke-a-m/arrma/
@@HardcoreRC yeah, the 3s big rock specifically...
@@aaronmitchell3204 In which case the POS Kraton / Outcast 4s bumper fits, very good bumper which we run on the Typhon 3s
I enjoyed a great video let's be friends 😁😁😁😁
우리 친구 해요~~~^^
We are friends 👍👍
Will the rpm wing mounts work?? Also I diddn see the part #. Did u post them??
This is the the 3s cars, RPM dont do a wing mount for the 3s cars. All parts are listed and linked in the description
Thanx
What material do you use for the taping of the inside of the hood??
I used Fiba Tape Orange www.toolstation.com/gyproc-fibatape-xtreme-plasterboard-joint-tape/p58759?store=GB&gclid=Cj0KCQiA2af-BRDzARIsAIVQUOdcg0beXiqNGHqU42_IdCVa2lN4KoJsmBx2JPSsnT0ZDihWH2A0aaYaAoAgEALw_wcB and E6000 glue www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110ML-E6000-Glue-Industrial-Strength-Crafts-Diy-Rhinestones-UK-STOCK/392994381556?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
What tools are those you're using? I need some proper RC tools
Mixture really, from general tools to rc specific, if its Hex driver you need then im using MIP probably one of the best ones you can get but but they do cost more
Yes mate lovely video
Glad you enjoyed it 👍👍
Can I install a rear wing to my Granite Voltage too?
I dont think you can im afraid, the chassis is different on the Voltage
Why do u need a wing on a basher?? It's just gonna break if u land wrong??? Possibly break something else
Never broken ours, its the same parts as fitted to the Typhon 3s, Outcast 4s and Kraton 4s, it protects the back of the body so it lasts longer, also makes the car look better in my opinion
Will this work for a arrma senton 4x4 550 mega
Ifs its the V3 one then yes, but for the chassis, but you would have a big hole to cut in the body where the wing comes up
Is the granite the same procedure cheers
Granite is the exact same 👍
@@HardcoreRC cheers ill be ordering now 👍
Hi there, will this work for Arrma Granite Mega 550?
Looking at the chassis etc of the Mega 550 online and appears to be same as the BLX cars so believe this would work
@@HardcoreRC okay sounds great thank you for that information. Hope you have a great blessed day!
@@eckos2310 Thank you and hope you have a great day as well 👍👍
Seems like you left that part of (cutting the body out) intentionally . You are so precise with everything else on the video.. And Never showed the back of the truck..
Wasnt intentional at all - i had done the Granite before i owned the the Bigrock, I edited the video before i actually went to use the BigRock, I had also already fitted the wing to the Big Rock (not fitted body) when lots of people were asking for a how to video, so i took the wing off the Big Rock, put everything back to stock so i could video how to put it on, so i think i went above and beyond to provide this video. I have since pinned that you need to cut out the back and also the size that needs cutting out
My tailgate area is also destroyed and well. It is a weak body in my view anyways!
Its not the strongest body for sure, but the rest of our granites body was ok, just the rear was a mess as you saw in the video 😂😂 this wing should protect that area
@@HardcoreRC great video btw
@@rcpd3157 Thanks 👍👍
All your links are broken
Video is 3 years old now, don't have time to go through and update links on all videos, the part numbers are listed so just search those part numbers and all will be found.
Hope you found the video helpful
Hi
Whats the wheels u fitted
On which car ? the Granite and Bigrock still have the stock wheels and tires. We have fitted out Typhon 3s with Proline badland mx2.8's
@@HardcoreRC the big rock iam after some 2.8 wheels i think
@@miketube6662 These are what you need: www.modelsport.co.uk/pro-line-badlands-mx28-2-8-all-terrain-tyres-mounted-on-raid-6x30-wheels-black-2-/rc-car-products/437821 and then these to make then fit: www.modelsport.co.uk/pro-line-6x30-to-14mm-hex-adapters-for-pro-line-6x30-2-8in-wheels-4-/rc-car-products/442444 this will then be same as what we run on our Typhon. I will likely be putting these on our BigRock as well
What u reckon the biggest wheels I could fit ive just ordered the hot racing heavy duty extensions 17 mm hex from America would like to fit 3.8 might av to upgrade the steering servo
@@miketube6662 i would say the 3.8 that come on the 4s models would be about as big as you could go without putting strain on the running gear. Are you running on the V3 model ? if not then would suggest putting a fan on the motor heasink if upping the tire size.
Hi! Can use the Arrma Heavy Duty Wing Mount Set Rear (www.horizonhobby.com/product/heavy-duty-wing-mount-set-rear/ARAC9681.html) with the same wing, parts, and tools you use on this video?
Your link doesnt appear to work, but im presuming you mean this www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?product_id=405521 in which case no as thats for the 6s cars, you need the wing mount that is for the 3s / 4s cars - the item number is in the description
@@HardcoreRC thank you!
@@MarioSilva-zv9yv Your weclome
I need a wing before I tear through the rear of my big rock body
