Holy hell that is the absolute first time in my entire existence I've heard the word "bitumen" I was like wtf is that ?? I felt dumb sooo I looked it up and learned something new Thank You Sir, that totally made my day!!
No, the esc is only 3s rated, same as the motor, my motor failed on 4s but some people have claimed to run it on 4s with no issues, I personally wouldn't risk it
I put the Mojave 6s motor and esc in this ran 6 s. It took it easy, ran 4s and 6s. I returned it back because it was so heavy it was clumsy. More fun stock.
I was given a TRX4 crawler from a veteran's organization. That got me into hobby grade RCs. I'd had toys before but the TRX4 is the first real one. Now I'm looking at a Big Rock for doing stuff like this
You think a stronger servo would help my e revo pull doughnuts on grass? Seems to want to roll rather than spin but it might be because it can’t turn fast/hard enough
I think its because the erevo is a very stable car. It's got really good handling so instead of spinning out (doughnut) it's flipping over because of the grip
I did the same thing to my V2.... MAX10 SCT ESC, 2050KV motor from a V4 Kraton and a 20T pinion. Little too much with that pinion my wife blew one of the rear tires but in all fairness I've had it for over a year and put it through hell. Dropped to a 15T pinion so I wouldn't break anything else very easily. Happy bashing everyone and please be safe!!!
Nice dude, sounds like a good setup, I've just gone with a hobbywing, that should be a but better, but I've stuck with 3200kv and probably the stock pinion 😀
I threw in a Spektrum firma 130 and a traxxas 540xl motor for my big rock 4s conversion. Also made sure to swap out the diffs for the metal ring and pinion gears. There's not much of a speed increase, but its definitely more torquey.... Much more guts.
I keep destroying the rear cvs u- joint's keep popping out so put the metal cvs on good lasted a while then those pop off, so reduce speed to 75 percent all's well.
I got into RCs by when I as watching a mountain biker he got given a traxxas udr for free and I loved it so much then I watched a udr video on Kevin Talbot's channel and subbed and now I have a cheap 60 pound and a more expensive 100 pound RC. The cheap one is a buggy and the more expensive one is a trophy truck.
Hahahaha....reminds me of my 6s Slash offroad with mod1 gears👍😂 It looks like the Arrma plastic axles are more durable than the Traxxas Rustler axles. I kept blowing them up on 3s. Great vid Matt.🍺🍺
Yeah the axles are quiet strong, hopefully the continue to hold up on 4s with the new motor, if not, I might have to go metal. The older traxxas axles are weak, but the new HD ones seem to hold very well! And the maxx ones seem perfect
Dang, way to put its paces Matt. Sucks for the motor to go by you'll beat that speed 🏁 Big rock is awesome nonetheless as you can see the durability. 🍻✌
I got into rc to have something fun to do with my 2 boys oldest almost 6 plus I loved them as a kid I got him a redcat everest 10 and haven't stopped trx4, big rock, slash 4x4, wltoys purple one, 2 scx 24s, kraton 6s, hbx brushless horizon hobby earthquake 23in boat and finally just got into fpv nazgul5 4s iflight drone. O yea couple xk planes sky king and a800 plane love everything and still not done now I'm thinking typhon bc I love the wltoys the way it drives buggy style u think love your stuff
Hey thanks dude! And nice collection. I've heard that from a few parents, when racing, I seen alot of young ones in the hobby, its really good to see everyone having fun 😀
There an animal let alone 4s omg how aggressive was that ... I got the rc addiction from my grandfather he used to build boats even cut his own planks before rc boats were a thing he bought me my first rc car a tamiya hornet 👊👍💯
Hey man that was pretty sick! I've got the max10 in mine but I'm leaving it 3s. The stock ESC is a bit crap to be honest! And erm... That carbon fibre plate you got? I've already made one for my 144001 check it out in my videos. You might wanna keep an eye on my channel because it's coming out again this weekend with major gearing and lord knows what's gonna happen 🤣 sweet video dude love your channel 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Oh nice dude, ill definitely check it out! Did you make an under chassis plate? Because I'm actually going to make some carbon fiber parts, I want to do a diff to diff center brace by tracing the old one, but making it wider to hold the gos and receiver to allow a bigger batter, I hope that made sense 🤣
@@MatthewSimm Yeh makes sense dude! And yeh I was going to make the chassis out of carbon fibre but then I gave my head a wobble 🤣 so it's just bolted under the car and wider for the lipos. I haven't really made a video about the plate or any of the mods but you'll see it in video. It has an 1/8 scale 4268 motor and mamba X ESC. You'll like it 👍🏻
Holy hell that is the absolute first time in my entire existence I've heard the word "bitumen" I was like wtf is that ?? I felt dumb sooo I looked it up and learned something new Thank You Sir, that totally made my day!!
Haha thanks dude 😀
Can the stock esc and motor handle a 4s LiPo safely?
No, the esc is only 3s rated, same as the motor, my motor failed on 4s but some people have claimed to run it on 4s with no issues, I personally wouldn't risk it
Can you leave a link to the servo??
Do you have a link for the servo?
Wonder if i could put an arma big rock body on my typhon?
Lost the footage haha. You are so sympathetic and I enjoy watching your Videos
Haha, cheers dude 😀
That’s a lot of torque bro. Great vid!
Thanks bro! Just got the new motor in, can't wait to test it out on 4s again haha 😀
Great vid out of the box what is better wltoys a959b or wltoys 124019
The 124019 is better, the a959b is good, but not as durable in my opinion
What steering servo did u use
I put the Mojave 6s motor and esc in this ran 6 s. It took it easy, ran 4s and 6s. I returned it back because it was so heavy it was clumsy. More fun stock.
Wow man, you must have a mucky motor because even on 3s is was getting a bit hot, or maybe I got a dud haha, oh well, new hobby wing on the way 😀
I was given a TRX4 crawler from a veteran's organization. That got me into hobby grade RCs. I'd had toys before but the TRX4 is the first real one. Now I'm looking at a Big Rock for doing stuff like this
Nice dude, I've always wanted a trx4! The big rock is a great rc car, it really is some of the est value for money rc car from the bigger name brands
I definitely decided to get one over buying a granite and upgrading that
Nice man 😀
No link to servo!
Will 4s hurt this on the stock esc? Great vid by the way
Thanks dude and yes, the esc is only rated for 3s, if you out a 4s in, the esc will most likely burn out 😀
Ok that's good to know I'm Glade I didn't try that then wow close call 😂
@@philiplibby7536 I tried it and it exploded so I don’t recommend trying it either

You made a max basically
Nice dude! I have to get the metal gears, I don't think the plastic will last too long on 4s haha
I keep destroying the rear cvs u- joint's keep popping out so put the metal cvs on good lasted a while then those pop off, so reduce speed to 75 percent all's well.
Great video. No surprise it was a bit of a handful on the speed runs 😅
Haha, I wonder how it'll handle off road 😳
@@MatthewSimm crazy I’d imagine. You must do it! 🤣
Oh definitely dude, the motors already on its way 😀
Sitting down with a coffee to watch this as looking forwards to seeing it run, sounds like it might be a 'hot' one though!
I could use the motor to re heat your coffee haha 🤣
Love the car and your channel as well, wish i had the money to get a big rock
Same
I'm sure you will one day dude 😀
Very very good attempts and well done!
Have a good weekend!
🤝🤝🤝🏎💪🏎🏎🏎
Ouch!! Toasty motor 🔥🔥
🤣🤣 oh yes!

That is awesome dude! keep building your collection 😀
Maxx electronics into the big rock😳
I don't think it would fit, the esc is massive! Haha
Bummer, 4s is a killer in the big rock, lol. Always some "part" not loving the upgrade. Great vid, thanks for the hard work!
I haven't given up, new hobbywing 4s on the way haha.
No worries 😀
Save your defective parts where it can be used as parts replacements. Thanks for sharing.👍😀
Always dude! That's why I'm fixing the motor, I'm sure I'll find somewhere to use it 😀
Love IT man good job
Cheers dude 😀

@@MatthewSimm Awesome! I'm going to unbox my new Maxx one of these days...lol. No time.
All good dude 😀
I know this is an older video so hopefully you still reply. What 3s battery did you use when you got 47mph out of it?
Dang, way to put its paces Matt. Sucks for the motor to go by you'll beat that speed 🏁
Big rock is awesome nonetheless as you can see the durability. 🍻✌
Thats what happens when you push it too hard 🤣 that's alright, new hobbywing motor ordered so I can still do 4s. Yes, very durable!

I've heard that from a few parents, when racing, I seen alot of young ones in the hobby, its really good to see everyone having fun 😀
Definitely made it look like it’s more fun bashing.
From what I seen, it's a beast! I can't wait for the new hobbywing motor to arrive so I can get it back on 4s on go bashing!
Very interesting bro
Thanks mate 😀
you created a monster!
I know! I can't wait for the new monster to get it to the skate park and off road 😀
Good one!
There an animal let alone 4s omg how aggressive was that ... I got the rc addiction from my grandfather he used to build boats even cut his own planks before rc boats were a thing he bought me my first rc car a tamiya hornet 👊👍💯
Thats awesome dude! I remember making boats from foam, that was fun!
It's a beast on 4s, I plan to keep it that way haha
You should try running it on 6s! lol
😳
@@MatthewSimm btw the big rock is my favourite rc
Get a haircut ole' son!! 😆 Thanks for the post!
Haha, I know right 🤣 it's definitely on the itinerary!
Wow i get 52 53 everytime
Nice dude!
1st👍love the stickers
2nd
Thanks Emily!
I just need a few more designs and sizes 😀

Nice dude! I had the same thought about making the chassis out of carbon fiber but with the chassis bends, it's out of my league haha
How come my big rock dont accelerate on 4s?? I tried 2s and it runs ..🫤
