One of the best rc channels out. Underrated because you tend to review a lot of budget friendly rc but the content is phenomenal.
Agreed 💯 👍
Thanks!! I’ve been trying to keep a good mix between budget friendly and pricey-ish.
😃🤜💥🤛😄
Ain't nothing wrong with budget friendly rc reviews.. that's how I found out about his channel since I started off in this hobby with budget rc trucks and now moved on to Arrma,traxxas etc.. The channel is great, I do agree.
@@boxer951 never said there was anything wrong with it.
Great video and build. The alternative to this would be to buy a 3s Big Rock and install the center module as it already has the wider arms and handles better than the Granite due to its longer wheelbase.
Thanks! That’s true!! But I also really like the air control and flips of the short wheelbase, but yes I agree that’s still a great alternative!
exceptional video!!!
Thanks!!!
Thanks for all your videos!
You’re welcome man! Thanks for watching!
I did the same upgrades to my Vorteks. It made the truck way better and was super simple.
Ya I was debating whether to do this to the vorteks or the granite, but my vorteks has much better ground handling so I chose this one!
Thanks @DerbyCityRC nice video.
I've been trying to work out if I should get a Big Rock and try to jam a centre diff in it, or grab an Rival MT10 and sick it on a Pro4 SC10 chassis.
Leaning towards the Big Rock now.
I’d do the big rock I think. Faster and crazier than the mt10. Still love the mt10 though!!
Awesome video. Thanks for the great content. I started out in January with an HBX something or other and quickly moved to a Granite. Super happy with my decision. I’ve done the wide arm boost kit but looking to do the center diff next. This is exactly what I needed.
Thanks man!! It changes the car a lot! Well worth it!
Iv been enjoying the RC toys . Got a Kraton 6s and love it . Servo got replaced and the front center bone got bent back into shape . One of the rear tires is a little wobbly . That carbon fiber Rlaarlo though is also a sweet one . Smooth , quiet , quick , handles really good for a smaller guy imho oh and I changed my first diff and and got to do the spider gear thing , lol . Things are coming along nicely thanks to vids like this and I m getting closer to feeling comfortable with breaking stuff I know can be replaced . Hopefully stuff doesn’t break all the time though . I had a zee 3s 2200 in the hbx16980sa is what I think blew that rear diff apart . They have a battery that fits in 3s now . Have a great weekend dude
Awesome man!! Glad you’re building confidence and that my videos have helped! Have a great weekend yourself!!
Yes, I was waiting for you to do this video! I was hoping for a few words comparing it to the MT10, but that could be a future showdown video.
Sweet! Ya that’s true I should have talked more about that. To me it made the granite a clear winner. It’s so much faster and more powerful than the MT and now it also has the better handling.
Love these frankenbuilds❤
I love that you love them!! 😊
I was exactly thinking of implementing this kind of setup, to make this kind of rc!
The minds of greatness are like one!
…or something 😃
Great Upgrade!!! That did give it way more stability!!!! 😁
Thanks Brad!! Yes it did 😃
Awesome. Arrma needs to watch this video and learn. 💪🏼
I agree!!! Though I bet they knew what they were doing 🤜💥🤛
Now im thinking about putting this set up on my sons Granite.. it needs new diffs ans shocks first though. Nice build, great video as always!
I approve!
Thanks!!
I love the granite! I have had four of them. I gave two away and I'm down to one and a half haha. I keep the half for parts.
That was another great video!! Thanks again for the entertainment. Keep them coming!
Awesome!! Nothing wrong with a parts car or 10 😆
Thanks!!🙏
Another great informative video. 👍
Thanks!!
Thanks!
Thanks so much!! Appreciate this more than you know!! 🙏😊
I just came across this video this morning and will definitely do the wider stance mod (minus the center diff for now ) I got a brand new Granite 3s still in the box lol , been playing around with my thypoon 3s lately and got the Granite from Towerhobbies a couple months back at a great deal @$240 tax and shipping included. Love all your videos and the fact your boys join in the fun of the RC world , wish my boys would have join me but they're not in to my RC fun addiction ( Racing drones , planes , helicopters , cars and trucks) well thanks for all the good and fun videos you put out and happy bashing.
Ya that alone is the best mod I think!!
Makes it much more enjoyable!!
Thanks man!!! 😃
becoming one of my favs to watch keep it up! Gday from under down under!
Thanks!! 😊
Love your videos dude something to look forward to each week keep it up❤
Thanks! 🙏
Great video, excellent information. I also added a wing from the Outcast, to protect the body a bit more.😁
Thanks!! That’s a good idea too!!
Best Chanel out there!!!
Thanks!! 😊
Love my granite. 6 years I’ve broken that paltuc spring between the bumper and bulkhead one spur gear and bearing and one body mount. Tough as hell
Yes they are!!
dude some of them jumps wow
I mean what I said! It’s one of the “craziest” cars I’ve got! It’s nuts!! 😆
Nice video, truck seems to be crazy fun after the mods, got a ticket for the raffles, fingers crossed.
Thanks! Yes it is!!
Thanks and good luck!!! 🤞
Definitely like the idea of adding the center diff, as I looking to upgrade the slipper clutch. Awesome upgrade that was simply done
It helps a lot! Thanks!!
Well played dude. The 3sBLX platform is one of my favorites of all time!! Cant wait to win it from you 😁🤘
Sorry, not sure why I’m just now seeing this comment. Thanks man! Yes the 3s platform is pretty slick! Need to get an infraction and a typhon!!
Haha! Good luck and thanks for entering!
🤜💥🤛
love your vids mate
Thanks!🙏
Well, I just started looking last night how to add a center diff, already got the RCAWD typhon arms installed but tips over a lot easier than expected still!
Interesting! Maybe the CD helps a lot more than I thought over just the wide.
Time to go watch the Kraton 6 s stuff . I was wondering . My wheels looked Marty Feldman but I turnbuckled them to more straight with the cpl degree negative leaning in . I honestly can’t tell much of a difference . That damn rlaarlo though cake set up perfect . I don’t even know how to adjust the steering yet but I did learn to set the remote down after the Kraton 6s launched into my truck bed from the tailgate 😂. I can’t be the only one . Safety first . The big ones can be dangerous imho in the wrong hands . I still don’t know why people stand in front of them . Have a great weekend bro .
Love my Kraton 6s! Been way too long since I’ve driven it! It needs a rear diff bearing. That’s it!
Definitely going to do that to mine. I get sick of the slipper coming loose.
I hear ya! I had to tighten my old granites up atleast once so far.
CONGRATS ON 16K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🥳🥳🥳
THANKS!!! 🙏 😃🎉
Ha! Stance Life! - I love these types of mods even when I don't own the truck. keep it up! oh and thanks for the link to the orange Gatorade!
Haha! Thanks man! And you’re welcome! Quench your thirst!!…or something! 🤣
That thing is wicked bro! I never realized that thing was that bad-ass! I do love my 3s vehicles… they fly as far as I’m concerned…
Yes! A complete beast!!
Whoa! What a very epic mod you did there Nate👍👍😎😎👍👍
Thanks!!
I think that centered diff will be a great upgrade for my typhon 3s.
I hope to get a typhon soon, but I bet you’re right!
Keep up the amazing work your vids keep getting better ❤❤❤ LETS GOOOOOOOOOO🎉
Thanks!! 🙏 😃😃
great video as usual my friend! Your content is always awesome!
Thanks as always man!! Super glad you enjoy it!
Awesome dude, transformed that granite into a beast 😁
Thanks man!! 😃
I did these same mods to my granite, but I also added outcast 4s shocks.
Nice! I was gonna add 4s shocks but they were out of stock at the time. 😕
It was my 1st non Traxxas 4WD RC. The Arrma “Mega” Granite before they were Brushless 😊 I had it converted to brushless but there were a lot of problems with it being brushless back in 2018 but I kept at it and loved it! Then I finally got the BLX. The Granite and Redcat MT10E are my all time favorite Skate Park rigs!
Nice!! Ya the granite is a beast! Still trying to figure out what to do with the MT10E lol
You could just add a center diff or add on road wheels. It has the best stock suspension of any 10 scale monster truck I’ve ever encountered! 😊 if you ever find a skate park the MT 10 and the granite are kings oh and of course the rival!
Haven’t checked in a while but the center diff was discontinued I think 😕
@@DerbyCityRC it was but I found a few used on eBay.
@williamperri3437 nice! I need to be more diligent in my searches! Hopefully they don’t discontinue all the other parts!
Haha thank goodness you provided a link to the Gatorade!!
lol promoting electrolytes!!
This a great quick project that seems to really improve the drivability. It jumps extremely well. There will be many people who will go out do the conversion after watching this video. Great idea.
It definitely was worth it, so I hope this gets others to do it! Thanks so much man!❤️
@@DerbyCityRC I thought of question. When you added the longer arms and turnbuckles, did you still have enough room on the slider drive shafts to the wheel without them coming apart?
@michaeldorich4485 yes, I was able to use the same shafts. The typhon (what these arms are made for) even uses the same shafts.
@@DerbyCityRC Thanks for the quick reply. My concern was that they would be extended and come apart easily. But, from what you said that won't happen.
@michaeldorich4485 I hear ya! On the stock granite they’re practically completely compressed, so there is plenty of room!
I love that you do videos showing upgrades that the "average " RC person could/would do. As for the Gatorade bottle...if that wasn't Gatorade in it, someone needs to see the doctor ASAP.
Thanks!🙏
And add a bit of water to their daily regimen 😆
Wow another great project brutha and I would say it was a success 🤘 . A how to a funny bash and a raffal all in one video?! That’s awesome you deserve so many more subs. Also I did the 4s outcast rear wing on mine and that really helps protect the rear of the body👍
Thanks man! I try to keep them all packed with good stuff 😃
The wing is a great idea!!!
Yes I probably should have done the wing before I trashed the rear of the body 😂 your content is top notch sir. 🤘
@richiesavino9653 😆😆 thanks man!!
CENTRE DIFF EVERYTHING! Crazy wobbly handling is more amusing… until 30 seconds later you have to go and retrieve the car
Right!!
and now its time for Omni Terminator , a bit more wide , goood job buddy
Maybe!
Thanks!!
I love watching your MODS videos. Can you do a modified wider and center diff 3s typhon?
Thanks!! Probably if I ever get a typhon. I definitely want one!
I was wondering if the center diff upgrade could be done to my granite, thanks for the video.. now I know.lol
🎉🎉🎉😃
Great conversion, it's like the big brother to the HBX wide track you did. I honestly didn't know "Indention" was a word 😂 I was that convinced it wasn't I had to Google it.... turns out it is, no idea what percentage of your viewers are UK based but thanks for converting it to GBP 👍
Thanks! Yup I agree!
I’ve been j own to make up words, but indention isn’t one of them 🤣
UK is my second biggest at 6.7% of my audience right behind the US which is 57.3% lol
Where you guys at!!?? 😆
You’re welcome! 😊
@@DerbyCityRC Wow that's a percentage difference, yep UK based about a hour north of London...and no I never met the Queen 😅
@101projects2 I know right! Lol
Haha nice!! 😄
You sure that was Gatorade? Nice upgrades, Deff going enter the raffle a few times to support the channel.
Man I hope! I never did have a good sniffer!
Thanks! 🙏😊
Great idea great vid as always. Any plans on doing a build with the senton soo?
Thanks!!
Been thinking about it for the Senton. Not sure yet lol
@DerbyCityRC well if ever or whenever you do it i'll be there watching...and any other vids in between
@hobbiesonwheels awesome man really appreciate it! 😊
I like that you showed the work you did on it, nice!
What would be a good jumper for cheap?
I made a jump kind of bases on your 45 degree ramp aaaand already broke my Omni Terminator lol
Thanks!!
Well dang I really like the terminator lol
Did it crash pretty bad? What broke?
That HBX 2997a is a good one also.
They all break though lol
Just the shock mount screws, but the rear diff cups are wearing out fast, yeah I ordered some parts for it, I just don't wanna kill it but can't stop jumping, it's too fun lol
I think its a bit of a learning curve too, I'm fining more and more info like you said, they all break, they all have weak points you need to beef up
Yup! And the better you get the less you will crash and the less you will break!!
It is so fun!! 😃
Excellent upgrades thx 4 sharing. Fyi... Pool closing next year with ball in middle of pool. You'll see much easier when removing the cover. And prevents stinky water going in pool why uncover.
Thanks! There actually is a ball under the pool cover it’s just not tall enough and shifts to the side (I did a terrible job securing it in place). We drained the water to just under the fill tube so it’s not tall enough. I’m still working towards a better idea for next year but possibly 4 of those pool pillows to make a pyramid lol.
Or a few lengths of rope stretched over the top for the cover to rest on. 😆🧠
@@DerbyCityRC awesome my friend , just a suggestion from trials and tribulations I had. You save me RC money so just trying help but sounds like ur on it . Have a blessed weekend.
@ronaldrey8474 ya man definitely appreciate that! Its been a pain in the rear for sure so always open to suggestions lol
@@DerbyCityRC kinda like RC cars 😭 it's a learning process & I don't know much just trying to help a friend. Raising my kids was best time of my life & I see the same with you. Cool RC video too ! ✌️
@@DerbyCityRC oh hey in a couple years you'll probably go in ground pool ,and look into salt systems ( it converts salt to chlorine) but water is "Soft Water " like water softeners for indoors. Feel free to DM if you'd like more info ? I don't sell or anything Lol just have the set up. ✌️
2:38 that's a center beeferential right there! 😅😂
Haha! Yes it is! Ultra beefy!
More awesomerer 😁
😆
I love the way he looks out for a guy on budget. I sure love to win that beauty. Is there a link
I do my best, thanks man!
Yes here is the link: raffall.com/derbycityrc
Any recommendations on replacement tires? Mine got eat up on the gravel.
Oh ya gravel does tear these up quick. Especially the Senton tires. So most people recommend proline badlands it seems. Just haven’t tried yet but that may be what I go with.
What tires would you upgrade to for the granite? My stock tires wore out pretty quick and 1 of them is ready to come apart. I do mostly pavement driving, some jumps(nothing crazy like you)haha, occasionally run around in the grass. Thanks
I wish you review hobao hyper sste and mtx? really liking ur reviews
Hopefully soon!!
Thanks!!
@@DerbyCityRC hopefully, thanks for the great content
@ayubmaruf3074 you’re welcome, thanks for watching!
Can you do that to the vorteks boost
I believe it would work the same way, but I don’t have a boost to verify with. Don’t see why it wouldn’t.
That’s awesome I got a granite with outcast v1 rear arms on the front , and v2 rears on the rear so much fun only weak point is the v2 rears cause rpm doesn’t make them . Videos of it on my channel !
Nice dude!!! I’ll check that out!
Hey could you try and put the outcast arms and all that stuff on the Mojave 4s to make a wide one
That sounds fun. I’ll have to consider it lol.
I do like the Mojave how it is though.
Arma also sells wide kits for granite and diffs as well
They do! But we got the RPM arms for this one 😉
Rpm always good I love that FlexinPop
lol they’ve got it alright!!
I love the green( my favorite color)
Oh how are the shocks on this citroen? Do I need to order some?
So far so good! It’s not a jumper so I haven’t noticed any issues lol
hey mate i ordered oil shocks absorber for my JJRC Q130, can you suggest me which grade oil i should use in them?
Well I just used the shocks form the hypergo and I’m. It sure what oil is in them. Probably closer to 50-80wt if you want to do big jumps, but otherwise maybe 30wt. Trial and error you really just need to see what you like best. I usually go with one of those 3 weights.
I have a granite mega with a 4s system out of a kraton and it rips!! its to fast for the stock control arms lol i definitely want to put wider control arms on it.
Haha nice!
What spine block did you use
The one from my outcast 4s. It was supposed to come with the kit I ordered from Jenny’s, so they sent me out a new one.
My first rc is worth $14 but already broken. Dreaming and thinking to have that kind if rc. I'm a fan of rc speacilly watching every videos you upload. 😇 I can't afford to buy so joining raffle is the way but sad to say can't pay for the raffle.
Can it be fixed?
Super glad you like the videos 😊
Great upgrade vid!!! I’m going put a center diff in mine🫡
Thanks! Yes well worth it!!
I bet that would be fun on 4s 👍😁
Oh ya!!
Hey, test hnr mars-x. I think it's very interesting
I do think that car looks good, hopefully I can snag it one of these days!
enjoyed the video, but would rather just buy a car already with the center diff and wider stance. I will admit, I did the wider arms on mine, but I don't see the center diff being worth it on this car given the fit issues. However, I do think I'll be taking my BIG Rock to the next level by installing a center diff. 🙂
I still think it’s worth it 😃
I’m pretty sure you will still need to grind down the chassis for the big rock. Not sure if the battery tray is longer on the BR or not, but yes it would very well be worth it on that too!!
@DerbyCityRC on a side note, I love these 3s trucks. Got a TC Kagama recently and every time I take it out something breaks. These 3s arrmas are truly built tough
@jehoffman4 I like them alot too! Hopefully gonna grab an infraction and typhon soon!
Woohoo! I just won this raffle!! Super Stoked! 🎉 drawn on my birthday too!
Yup I’ve got an email in your inbox!
Awesome dude and happy birthday! How neat!
Thank you! So stoked! I love the channel and great vids bro!
You’re welcome man! Cant wait to see how you like it!
Hi mate I'm in process of fitting the centre differential on my grandson's vorteks 4x4 3s. I'm sick to death of centre slipper clutch. Do you have the part number of the block that goes under centre drive shaft and between motor mount that's screwed in place from 4mm screw ?
Here is the link to it. I’ve only seen it in a set with the center diff housing. When I ordered it from Jenny’s, it was missing but I emailed them and they apologized and sent it to me. www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=cl&merchant_id=4b85b2b7-558e-4304-89fc-54958c8f47f0&website_id=c2f80f1b-dbf2-4cba-9b5c-3080c7657977&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amainhobbies.com%2Farrma-center-differential-housing-assembly-ara311169%2Fp1526672
That thing looks badass.....hook me up
Thanks!! 😆 🪝
Got a question, putting a 2847 5300 kv motor in my amx12 and set my gears with the stock 27t pinion and 30t spur. I kept the stock esc which is 45a. Do you think I should get a bigger esc for the setup or the stock is good enough? It seems to not stop as quick as it did before.
I’m not a huge fan of that esc. Especially if you’re running 3s, I’d get a good quality 60 amp. Just gotta make sure it will fit where you want it to go and that it will hook to the motor.
Thanks man! You rock! All my inspiration and wanting to learn came from you and your awesome videos! Keep them coming. Gotta win that granite!!!
Thanks and so glad to be helpful!!
Good luck dude!! 😃
Tell me what size (long) battery fit when you installed the center differential?
It’s right at 5-7/16 inches
@@DerbyCityRC My batteries are 138mm long. I hope they fit there. I don't quite understand the dimensions in "inches" 5-7/16 looks like 406mm in length... 0_o
@user-fj4fr9ns9x it’s ok, no one really understands inches 🤣
5-7/16 in he’s is right at 138mm. So it will fit, but might be tight. Having the battery cables come from the top of the battery and not out of the end would be very helpful.
The Gatorade was more than I could handle, I laughed out loud.... 🤣🤣🤣
😆 that sniff definitely had me worried 🤣
Will normal 3S 5200 hard case lipos still fit after the center diff install?
Yes! The spectrums, and Zeee batteries both fit. It’s right at 5-7/16 inches long.
@@DerbyCityRC Thanks bro, appreciate the insight.
@i4nic256 you’re welcome!
They definitely do triple back flips 😂
Absolutely!
👍
Great Man! you are a gentleman! 😇
pleaseeeee need to know if 2996a can fit Rlaarlo Omni T shocks 🙏🏻
Checking right now 😉
I am happy to report that they do work!
Using the HBX shock screws and some very small washers with a 2.5mm-3mm hole, they fit great! The rears could use a washer or two as a spacer/stand off on the bottom but looks like not completely necessary!! These right here exactly as pictured with the hinge balls (2 sets of course) rlaarlo.com/products/oil-filled-shock-absorber-for-rz001?ref=ml6gV9o7
@@DerbyCityRC ❤️ Thank You Evan!!! going to buy raffal tickets!
so they are a comparable length vs the original hbx? you tried to drop the 2996 to see if bounce?
thank you again man,I wish you a prosperous channel!
@GaetanoCrisci thanks!
They’re slightly longer so it will give it just a little more ride height. I didn’t drive it with them on as the 2996a is not currently driveable lol. After you install them, do a little bit of trial and error to see if you need to put thinner fluid or adjust the springs. The terminator is heavier so it’s possible a little tuning may need to be done. Thanks so much!!!
@@DerbyCityRC Thank You too🙏🏻
Love the content. What did the upgrade cost? Love all of your videos.
Thanks dude! I got the center diff and housing from JennysRC so slightly cheaper, but it was right around $150 in parts for the upgrade. I’ve got it all listed in the description if you decide to do it. Even just making it wider alone is a huge upgrade. lol
So glad you love the videos!!
@@DerbyCityRC man that Granite is crazy. I’m totally new to the RC world. I’ve been watching a ton of Granite and Gorgon vids. Not quite sure what I should get. Wanting to get into this with my kiddos my son is 10 and my daughters 11 they’ve both run really really cheap RC’s in the past 20 thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated man again love the continent love the videos you’re amazing. I’d prefer my RC being that stable. That upgrade was so money!👍🏻
@russellupkes8263 it is for sure! The Gorgon is probably more kid friendly and can be upgraded as needed. The granite you can always slow down some with the controller and make it faster as they’re ready. I don’t have a Gorgon but it seems cool for sure! Me personally I would still go for the granite. The stability upgrades helped a lot for sure!
@@DerbyCityRC would recommend doing the stability upgrades or the Big Rock?
@russellupkes8263 I like the granite because it’s short wheelbase helps it do tricks in the air. The big rock may be slightly less capable of that, but would be a bit more stable most likely.
I’m English if I bought 1 of the raffles will you ship it to England?????? ❤
I sure will!!
The last one went to Portugal! 😱
@@DerbyCityRC ooo ok I might buy 1 then 🔥🔥
@BobbyS-dg3zl 🤜💥🤛🙏
I did this with my bigrock 3s minus the center diff that came out after like right after ha ha thats my luck! I got the 6s kraton 1 week before the exb came out ha ha
Dang!! lol 😂 🥲😢
HEY HEY HEY! (What's happenin!) Shoutout to C.E. and O.H.! If I were to get an arrma granite this is exactly what I would do to it. Another great video.
Ya dude they did stellar work!!
Thanks bro!!
This truck looks killer in green not yellow lol. Made it a total different machine. I don't know why but the Gatorade bottle thing made me laugh really hard. Nice detective skills lol
Haha yes it does! Though I’m the odd man out and kinda prefer the red even though I love lime green! 😆
Lol I was super worried it was gonna smell like 18 week old stagnant peepee!
Was all clear! 😂
Luckily I keep 3 year old hand sanitizer in the truck!
When is the give away and where do I apply for it!!?
It already ended for this car but there’s another type of car on there now and will be more in the future: raffall.com/derbycityrc
Hey Evan. Love your videos as always. Couple questions cause I wanna do this to my Granite. Its already wide which I love. Hopefully I'll win the raffle then I'll have 2. 1st. Will the stock center slider driveshaft fit? If not what do I order? 2nd. If I get the housing from Horizon do I still need the screw set with the socket head screws because I see it comes with screws? One more thing. Where do I get the counter sink? Thank you for your time.
Thanks Ben!! I good luck on the Raffall and thanks for the support😊!
Yes the telescoping axles and the spring-loaded center drive shaft all still work perfectly. So you should be good if HH has the screws. I guess I didn’t pay attention to that. Jenny’s takes all the screws and sells them in a kit (greedy! 🤣)
My countersinks were bought from Home Depot, but this one is what I would use. No need for it to have the drill bit on it, I just couldn’t find mine that day (I did right after of course when I wasn’t even looking). amzn.to/4dDDM0E
Could always get a single one for cheaper at hardware store.
Hope this helps!!!
@@DerbyCityRC Awesome! That helps a lot man. I forgot to ask. Where do I get that sliding block you used off the outcast? Thank you for the counter sink link. Im gonna see if I can find a single. What size did you use? One more thing. If I have any questions regarding RCs in the future could I get intouch with you via email or messenger? I'm still pretty new is why I ask and also Im a member of a few forums, but alot of times the members want to give me a hard time because of my lack of knowledge. Thanks for your time again.
@benlandrum75 that sliding block, I found out, was actually supposed to ship with the diff housing from Jenny’s. I emailed them and told them it was missing and they sent it out for me. That was after they first sent me the completely wrong center diff too and corrected that problem as well the week before lol
I’m sure it’s on Horizon Hobby but it’s part number ARA311169
Yes, email me at derbycityrc@yahoo.com.
Ya I can’t believe the amount of negativity on Facebook I see. Almost every post has someone commenting word garbage on it.
@DerbyCityRC Cool! Yeah, I just saw it's supposed to come with the housing. Same thing on Horizon. I'm gonna send you a test email so you're in my address book. Thanks a lot man! That's gonna save me some headaches. Later! 🤘🤘
@benlandrum75 sweet! You’re welcome man!! 😃

I'd love to wide body my granite but for now I need to figure out the heat issue. It's brand new and gets so hot the battery wires are almost to hot to touch. I'm running 80c hoovo 3s batteries. And even tried 60c hilldow 3s. It's the same with any battery
Did you check the drive train for any unusual resistance?
@@rantsandreviews Ive checked the slipper both diffs and everything else i could think of. Just gets blazing hot so fast. My Outcast doesnt do this.
@@frebify If you have another motor install it and see if it still get's hot.
Are you using batteries with the EC5 or IC5 connector? It can do that if you have deans plug batteries and use an adapter to hook to the ESC.
If not, like Rants said, make sure each individual wheel turns freely and that the car is easy to roll on the floor by hand. I small bit of resistance from the motor is normal but should still roll easily.
Checking the motor pinion to spur gear mesh for being too tight is another thing.
If all that checks out, warranty possibly?
@@DerbyCityRC I am using an adapter with deans batteries. Guess im buying a pair for it then!
I am poor and thought the 3s Granite would be a fun RC for my poor ass.
I replaced the plastic spur with a steel one, sunk $100 more into metal diffs, and now my slipper clutch never stays tight.
It drives ne crazy, and there are so many different slipper parts on the arrma website, no explanation of what goes with what, they don't even tell you the effing materials the parts they sell are!
I want to end my nightmare with a center diff.
Thanks for making this video.
Maybe i can sell enough plasma to buy what i need.
I'm also a complete noob when it comes to wrenching, but I'm addicted to driving my RC. I drive it every other day, and the slipper seems like a garbage cheap-ass copout, and I'm never going to like it. I need something reliable like a center diff.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉yeah 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I’m going to win that sucker this time!! lol.., I hope so! I could just buy one… but dammit, I want to win something once in my life 😳
You got this man! Either way I appreciate the support and comments so much!!
Good luck!! 😃
You just need a big rock 3s
I prefer the short wheelbase for when I want to do flips. They’re both good in their own way, plus this will help people who already have a granite.
Really 2s!
Yes!! Only for a minute lol
Why didn’t you just buy the boost box wide kit?
This would have made sense!
I did not know such a kit existed 😆
But also got the RPM arms so depending on your opinion of RPM, it’s a bit of an upgrade.
Always remember:
Look out for Aliens! 👽🛸
Yes! They’re everywhere! (Also dinosaurs 🤫)
I’ve got over a hundred tickets for these Granites😳! I really want to win one🤓
Good luck!! 😄
@@DerbyCityRC couldn’t get out of banggood without dumping $300😳… but I got some cool stuff! Got the car, some 3s batteries, some connectors, tires (for several vehicles). And I forgot the rest but yeah 165 on the card she sees the rest on my work account 🤙🏻
@@DerbyCityRC I’m Irish at fu@k!! And I never win shit bro! lol. I could buy all but one ticket and the person who has the one ticket will win😳😳… you never know. Over and out for this evening 👌🏼
