Great video! I just got back into the hobby and picked up a Granite. One of the tips I saw on a forum is to pull the lipo velcro straps ALL the way out of the chassis and reverse them. The battery seems to be a lot easier to get in and out with the plastic tie down loops against the chassis wall rather than the stock position by the driveshaft.
I used black mastic in the corners of my body its worked really well. It does add weight but not too much. Adding some 10mm offset adapters to the axles and some mx28 wheels makes a pretty big difference to the handling, much more stable at high speed, not as twitchy. I love my granite it took A LOT of abuse to break only the front skid plate where it mounts to the bumper, super cheap and easy fix. Defo gonna upgrade the bearings in the steering or do the hot racing bellcrank. Nice vid thanks!! ✌
a paper hair net which you can get for $5 for 100 fits right over the chasis of the typhon, and others. it is great for stopping the rocks & dirt from getting in.
I use thermoplastic pellets (Polly Plastics on Amazon is cheap) To beef up the driveshaft. You melt the pellets in hot water and they become like silly putty and you mold them around the drive shaft. I use the same pellets to fill cracks in the lexan body. Works great.
You probably already know this but you can line the inside of your truck bodies with some of that drywall tape with holes. Glue gun a few dots to keep tape secure then rub shoe goo all over the tape and fill it all in. That's Kevin Talbots idea but he's mentioned it's helped his bodies last longer. I did it too the sides of the Hoss think it helped with weak sides.
I remember watching the 5 free fixes for the slash, this one was 3 free fixes n 2 cheap fixes LOL, gotta buy the bearings n set screws but some great tips bro, one tip couldve been anchoring the long motor wires outta the way with a small hole n zip tie
Along with the bearing upgrade, clean up and repack the bearings with some quality grease (I use Super Lube). It makes a noticeable difference when the bearing is under load.
To get the batteries out easier I place a short strip of ribbon under one of the batteries to pull on. The others are then easier to remove after one is out. The lid still closes easily with the ribbon in the compartment.
Had the same problem with the tailgate bed area on my Arrma Granite as well. I just used double sided servo tape & a sheet of foam rubber padding cut to fit & stuck to the rear shock body mounts. Problem fixed. No more cracked tail beds! Definitely going to replace all my bearings next (possibly with a Fast Eddie bearing kit)
Very helpful video. Thanks. I used a combination of fiberglass joint tape (from the hardware store) and Shoe Goo for the interior of my body and it has held up great. Def a cheap way to make the body last longer. As he points out in the video the rear of the truck takes the most beating and I just did several layers of Shoe Goo, allowing it to dry, on the underneath of the where the top of the tailgate on the body is. I use Gorilla tape to help seal of the power module from dirt coming in and that has helped as well.
Never changed the bearings just gave them a clean in wd40, don't worry about the very fine dirt getting in the spur just take it apart and clean it every now and then. The body just tape or reinforce it with plastic, good video
The first thing I plan on getting is a bearing kit, and for sealing the spur gear I use hot glue and it comes off easy when you want to remove the motor and totally seals the gearbox.
That gap is actually there for a reason. Ironically to allow dirt and debris to escape. If you ever tape over it you'll see dirt stuck to the inside of the tape whereas if it wasn't there it'd escape. Arrma knows what they're doing.
For my rear I put on a wing and put a few layers of gorilla tape back there a few other weak points as well. I did try using some *car* stripping a cheap roll about 20ish mm wide put a strip on top of the bed and one of the back but that came right off 1st scrap. I also put some on the roof and hood they are actually working good for now I do have a set of roof skid plates just have to put them on
Great tips Brother 👊!!! Free or cheap is the best kind, too😄. You just reminded me to order more bearings ✌️. Love the controller tip. Those tabs are kinda ridiculous. Taking a AA out shouldn't pull your nails off or require a screwdriver.😲✌️✌️😎💪👊👊
I didn’t realize about the plastic bearings on sterling rack until this video I’ll order some high quality bearings later down the road since my Senton only has gone trough 3 battery packs so far
adam johnston not sure if I’ll be able to get to that, might do a chassis disassembly video, I need to take the whole thing apart to replace the chassis.
I think im going to just silicon that hole where the spur gear is exposed. I dont see the point in tape when it'll come loose eventually from removing the motor and just dirt in general tearing it apart lol
I wish the tape of the hole in the gearbox was more emphasised. I lost a motor and spur gear because of it after two weeks of use and another guy I know after two days. Others in the group with the same 3s roc car taped the gap and have no issues though running through similar conditions. It should be stressed more as this is a must do in some terrains and car fails quickly without it. ☹️ Not sure why I don’t find videos on this specific critical fix more often.
I don't get it. The hole in my gearbox is cut out on the sides of the gearbox, higher up than the bottom of the spur gear. So if I cover it with tape, the gear is rubbing directly on the tape. Maybe I have a different model than you guys, because unlike in the video, only my spur is exposed, not the pinion as well. If I taped over the hole, the tape directly interferes with and rubs on the spur.
I know it's old but how the spur gear is exposed under if you dremel and notch out of the frame to expose it dirt doesn't get in there and stay and allows you to see if a spur gear strips the teeth out without popping the motor out lol
Thanks for the tips razor! I was wondering when looking to get new bearings for my other trucks do I just measure them with a digital caliper? Like measure the width and thickness? And do you recommend a good place to buy bearings from? Thanks buddy.
Yeah, it's Inner Diameter x Outer Diameter x Thickness. The best way is to look up the stock part number from the manufacturer and the part should tell you the dimensions. Then you can buy a bearing of the same size. If that's not available, then I use digital calipers. I like to buy from Avid if I'm buying a lot of bearings, or I buy Protek bearings from amain.com if I'm just buying a few.
dude the problem in the power module is not the spur it actually can destroy your motor in short fahsion, i locked mine up in 9 days and 4 runs in florida sand because i just didnt know.
Hi great video. I just got a typoon 3S I love it. I have noticed fee day after use that the gear mesh got right maybe from bashing hit a curb head on maybe around 30mph. Then car seem to have more resistance when just pushing forward and backwards. I want to start taking apart tomorrow any suggestions? Thanks

Any fixes for the leaky stock shocks? I got 3 out of the box, I've rebuilt them and they still leak. Any suggestions on an aftermarket kind?

Ive got some 1/8 scale buggy shocks on mine now and its really plush with better dampening.

Any tips for the front center shaft sleeve getting ruined by grit? Broke on first lipo on one of my kids' Typhon. I have put on 3:1 shrink tube and will try again tomorrow.

Do you mean like EVERY SINGLE BEARING needs to be replaced including diffs? Because I really couldn’t do diffs I’m just extremely bad at it and broke my rustler when fixing the diffs and I can’t fix them so can u just do wheel bearings and it will be fine?
Great tips thanks! Has anyone figured out an easy way to get the battery in and secured with those velcro straps? I find you can't loop them properly because it's all too tight to the rest of the truck "insides" :)
YES! I had the same issue. Pull the plastic piece on the strap upwards, put the battery in, feed the strap through the plastic piece and then pull the other side of the strap to pull the plastic piece back to its original position. Its so simple when you work it out. It had me for a short while though. ✌
The heatsink on my Typhon 3s came loose and for the life of me I cant figure out how it was ever held in place. Now it rattles all the time and I had to place some foam under the motor to hold it somewhat still. Any idea how to fix that? Note: I cant remove the motor from the aluminum block as one of the screw heads are stripped. Think maybe the block may be bent very slightly.

Buy bearings? Buy retainer screws? Use "extea" lexan? Buy and use tape?
HOW ARE THESE FREE FIXES?
CAN YOU EVEN HEAR YOURSELF?
THUMBS DOWN!
DON'T SAY FREE THEN TELL ME TO BUY STUFF!
DAMN!
You must need your hand held daily.
@@BOOGiNS No just need for something that's supposed to be free to ACTUALLY be free. You must need simple concepts explained to you daily.
@@shelbyseelbach9568 no I just have a roll gorilla tape handy because I actually do things in life. And instead of 'lexan' I just cut a piece of rubber foam and GORRILLA TAPED it to the body. Crazy how being a proactive human being leads to logical solutions for the average man. However I may be speaking to a child. In that case I forgive you.
@@shelbyseelbach9568 besides that point, you shouldn't tape over that gap anyways. It's there to allow dirt and debris to escape. Lil pro tip for ya. And it's free.
@@BOOGiNS Please tell me where I can get free gorilla tape, wise old man.
It's either free or it's not. If you don't mind being fed bullshit, that's your choice. I have no idea what y'all ate during the great depression, must've been rough. I understand the definition of free, you should look it up. If you have trouble with that simple task, let me know.
