I bought a granite 4x4 blx after watching you drive yours. I looked up videos of them in action and yours had me like a kid waiting to get mine. Mines is on the way here now
I’m torn between a granite and big rock for my son... this will be his first 30+mph RC car. He loves the look of the big rock but I like that the granite looks to be sturdier for a boy that will most definitely be jumping it. Thank you for all the videos they really help!
@@urge251980 when I was debating these two trucks, I saw another comparison video that lead me to thinking the Big Rock was better. Consider that the longer wheelbase alone could mean less flipping. Less flipping = less chance of breakage. There were a few other reasons though that I don’t recall. I went and got my son a Losi LMT Grave Digger instead.
Man I hear you..looks like the big rock has wider stance too but I could be wrong. I'm stuck between building an og emaxx or buying a new Big Rock rtr for the winter snow jaja
AWESOME video!!! I just bought my first hobby grade RC car yesterday and love it. I got thre granite and it rips. I do not have a brushed motor but for a novice like me it RIPS!!! Love this video.
@@zacheusfass319 I have a slightly modified Traxxas 4-Tec with a 10 turn brushed motor and it's faster than my brothers brushless slash that supposedly is supposed to go 50+mph.I can't wait to put a brushless system in it tho
I have both V1s and it was a toss up. They both are amazing BUT I had to modify my BRCC quite a bit to get it to perform better. With that said I Iean toward the Granite as the better value. But it may be different with the changes they made to the V3 BRCC! That widened stance is a huge improvement!
Turn on radio. Turn car off. Then on the car, press and hold the little button in front of on/off switch and turn switch on. When the esc starts beeping and red light is flashing, let go of the button. With throttle trigger on remote in neutral press and release small button again. Full throttle, press again, full brake, press again. Turn switch off and then back on.
Big rock had me at longer and wider chasis. New favorite arma 3s platform without having owned any of them yet. Looking to upgrade from my 2s brushless redcat volcano epx soon. The tolerances on the redcat are terrible and it really shows at speed, Squirrely AF!
The big rock is a wheelie machine if you want it to be. No need to loosen the slipper. You need to change the punch settings in the ESC. You can find it in the manual or on RUclips. You can do stand still back flips if you up the punch.
Killed two servo now on my senton the new design major flaw now is when something gets in the horn behind it can't get out what the now open area just traps it the 1st was a rock the 2nd was a peace of a stick both around pinky tip thick . I think I have a good fix but not sure will need to test more simple people will say why didn't they do this before ? Lol
Nice video nan. For the bigrock any body that fits a slash will fit on the big rock same goes for the senton and the typhon same wheelbase. For the granite any body that fits a stampede will fit perfectly
They both have something on them that is a little different than the other but everyone is a little different than someone else too. So does that make them better ? I don't think so . Bottom line is if you are in the market for one then whichever one you choose have fun with it because that is really what it's all about anyway .
@@airbornerc4654 I got mine 9 days ago and I bash it so hard. Everything is OK the only issue is the rear place of the body. A lot of big scratches caused by a lot of wheelies and crashes
@@_.b.rc.g._ I got mine about a week ago too, and you're right, NOTHING breaks! It almost seems impossible! 😂 Mine has scratches and dents too, but hey, isn't that how Arrmas are supposed to look? 😉
I’m a novice to this but love your videos on the arma big rock and it has convinced me to get one also can you put lights on the arma big rock again I’m a beginner and just would like to know thanks.
I just did a chassis swap by making my Granite a Big Rock. It wheelies so much less. Now I have to find a body that fits well. I am still using the Granite body but just had to drill new holes. Looks a little bit weird. I’ll probably just wait till the BRCC bodies are back in stock.
For a new guy getting into the hobby, would you suggest the big rock or granite? I currently have an ECX torment ( its POS), which I'll be giving to my teenager. I am looking for an all-around fun truck for myself and an activity to do with my sons. But to be honest, I am more partial to the big rock primarily based on its looks...
@@JayTeeRC wondering why people say the arrma big rock is such a good deal when it doesn't come with batteries and chargers at the end of the day I could get a traxxas hoss or something similar at almost the same price point as buying the big rock and the batteries/charger
My big rock seems faster? Didn’t gps it. The body holds up on the big rock, the granite body crushed in the rear. The wiring on all the 3s needs to be installed forward to avoid damage. Great video!
Which would be better on an outdoor dirt track? Same, I guess? They are both considered bashers, right? Going voltage for my kid but might get one of thee for myself because I have an old gas revo that I'm sick of playing with and a losi mini 8 that isn't great for bashing. 😕
Good comparison. Do you see yourself needing to mod them to make them any better or are they good out of the box? If somebody already had batteries with Deans, is there an adapter available? Do the diffs and other gears seem to take the beating? Giving you plastic on a Mega is an insult. You might as well save a few more bucks and get the better stuff right off the bat.
I'm going Big Rock, Jay what charger are you using? Are you using that fancy Spectrum automated? What is your manufacturer choice for Batteries for these?
Yes you can: I did it recently on my Granite v3. I used the arrma typhon a-arms (RPM brand) and longer turnbuckles (6) 4 front and 2 in the rear AR330542 (Arrma part #) Rear a-arms #80842 Front a-arms #80762 Look it up there's videos on how to upgrade wider suspension for the Granite.
@@JayTeeRC I’m from the uk and the prices for the cars and 2 2s lipos with a hobby grade charger is the same. There’s no real comparison and I was wondering what’s the best for a beginner
Did you not see my superspeed Saturday test on it.? The big rock I could not get up to full speed. Go back and see my speedruns on it and you'll see that I tested both for top speed

coming soon 😈😈😈!!!
Thanks for showing them both running!
Bigrock all day for me. Great video JT💯💯💪💪

My big rock did the same thing the other day. It had steering and no throttle. I just had to recalibrate the throttle.
😎😎
Is there a problem with esc or tx/tx?
I think it's just a random glitch. Doesn't seem to be an ongoing problem.
Turn on radio. Turn car off. Then on the car, press and hold the little button in front of on/off switch and turn switch on.

Also Jaytee: *sends it 45 feet*
Lol, jay tee got a heavy trigger finger, he always shoots to kill. Lol

GOOD STUFF JayTee. NICE comparison video FOR SURE. STAY UP BRO🤜🤛💯🍻✌️
Dude idk which one I’d get probably the senton but I like the big rock to 😂
My friend is getting a granite blx. Super excited.
sweet!!! tell him congrats
Arrma tough!
i think i like the big rock better
Big Rock with Granite tires would be best 👌
😎
Thanks for your work JayTee, i think i'll go for the Big Rock...keep on going pls!
Knocked that esc silly in the Granite. Must have caught one of your roundhouse kicks in the noggin!!!🤣 Thank you for showing them both! 👍🏻👍🏻

I just ordered my Big Rock today!
sweet...congrats
@@JayTeeRC I absolutely love the big rock. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to buy one
Jay, thoughts on the durability of the new Big Rock 3s body? It seems beefier then the current 3s bodies from Arrma. Great comparison!
Any body size 12 inch or more will fit. I have the Proline 2020 Jeep Rubicon Gladiator on mine. Great video! Bash On brother!
Big rock?
Both are 🔥🔥🔥
yep 😁

Getting back into the rc videos cause summer is coming! Sucks that I line in a cold environment for 6 months. Thinking about getting me that vortex?
I got the big rock for winter it’s great if ur roads aren’t ice scraped
Your the man bro.👊👍
😇
Have them both, two different animals because of wheelbase, but loving BR with Granite tires. 👍👊
sweet
I'm geting one which is the best
@@zxulzwtf6946 I prefer the BR, it's more stable and will wheelie less than the Granite. It jumps better IMO and just as fast.
@@stevegabriel6982 thx
@@zxulzwtf6946 No Problem, think you will love the BR! 👍
Great video,both are awesome
Big rock looking nice. Might go that way vs granite
either way ur good
Well there goes $319! Lol I’m getting the Big Rocky🥸
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice video bro! But let's get real, when you gonna run a arrma 6s vs the C7? Epic!

@@JayTeeRC wondering why people say the arrma big rock is such a good deal when it doesn't come with batteries and chargers at the end of the day I could get a traxxas hoss or something similar at almost the same price point as buying the big rock and the batteries/charger
@@cjboots1115 the Hoss doesn’t come with a battery or charger either and is $100 more. Not sure where you’re coming from.
Bro I have the same ecx torment over 10 years I think still flying it ,just bought a granite and a big rock for the wife
Why would the granite handle better on road? I would think BR would be better since it’s wider and looks lower? Just curious
Both are nice ......I love my Granite.
It's just right for the places I have to run .
Big rock is the bomb
I was telling a RUclipsr j grant about you and your channel y’all should link he has great rc racing content
I've seen a few video's saying that the big rock could do with a harder shock oil? It's on my list though. Love the all black 👌
probably but oil in diffs I would 1st
My big rock seems faster? Didn’t gps it. The body holds up on the big rock, the granite body crushed in the rear. The wiring on all the 3s needs to be installed forward to avoid damage. Great video!
I'm pretty sure the big rock is quicker both on and off road. It's more stable and has tires that don't balloon nearly as bad as the granite.
Great video! I’m definitely feeling the Big Rock. Did you ever put the Granite wheels on the Big Rock? I’m curious to see how it is
yep
Which would be better on an outdoor dirt track? Same, I guess? They are both considered bashers, right? Going voltage for my kid but might get one of thee for myself because I have an old gas revo that I'm sick of playing with and a losi mini 8 that isn't great for bashing. 😕
go for it...get one ;)
@@JayTeeRC so many hobby shops trash the voltage. Having a hard time deciding now. Stampede is 100 more but seems slower and older....
Nice run jay tee what do you think about them pro line trencher tires? Do you know if the 3.8 would fit on the big rock.
Good comparison. Do you see yourself needing to mod them to make them any better or are they good out of the box? If somebody already had batteries with Deans, is there an adapter available? Do the diffs and other gears seem to take the beating? Giving you plastic on a Mega is an insult. You might as well save a few more bucks and get the better stuff right off the bat.
Come on J Tee your my coin flip. Which one both are in the cart but the wife said only one...lol
You know what's better then these both?? The Big Rock Nero 😆😁
That's odd you say the granite handles better on road since it has the shorter wheelbase. Have you actually tested the two and that's what your found?
yep
The big rock looks a lot quicker
I'm going Big Rock, Jay what charger are you using? Are you using that fancy Spectrum automated? What is your manufacturer choice for Batteries for these?
I have a big rock and my friend has a granite and I beat him by a far distance on the road
was the Granite stock? What type of battery are you running? Thanks
I got the big rock 😁
You should have included the Outcast 6s 🤔?
Good video 👏👏👏👍
These 2 trucks are 3s...comparing them to a 6s is apples to oranges.
@@TheChad435 true,my mistake
Just going to get both
nice
What are your thoughts about using a Limitless body🤔👍🏾
hi have you cut a slit in the chassis where spur gear is or to put velcro to stop dirt going in the power module thanks
Nice I have a granite too it is awesome I wonder i could upgrade the granite with a wider suspension??
Yes you can:
I did it recently on my Granite v3. I used the arrma typhon a-arms (RPM brand) and longer turnbuckles (6) 4 front and 2 in the rear AR330542 (Arrma part #)
Rear a-arms #80842
Front a-arms #80762
Look it up there's videos on how to upgrade wider suspension for the Granite.
So the granite like a better version on a red at volcano pretty much
The Granite is faster because of the bigger wheels 😉
Just want to know on jumps, if the nose goes up,what do you do? If the nose of the truck goes down,what do you do?
up..alittle brake...down a little throttle
Hi Can you tell me what batteries you was using, I have big rock and running 3s 5000 50c but you seemed to get longer run time than i do?!
Paul
they were some SMC lipos. they have different sizes and it may be in the description
Sound like a kid yet you roll that vette
Can u recommend any places to bash in the Atlanta area?
My big rock goes super fast and far with wheelies
Yo my servo went out in my granite any good ones to choose form 😩
When my stock servo went out on my Granite I replaced it with the Blue Savox #0231SG ($40)
Which one is more durable?
Hey guys so I am choosing between a big rock and a granite what should I choose??

Could you show how you operate the controller for the inexperienced? Thanks!
Cuál es mejor???
big rock
Rival mt10 or SENTON mega???
two different types you are comparing here. BL to brushed

Both Have The Same Kv Motor?
yes
What batteries do you use

What batteries did u use
see description....
I saw a lot of videos of granite going out after jumping. It seems not so durable.
And was that 3s
yea
