The shock absorbers you can get off EBay. Called big bore shocks and it have a review of them in one of my videos. The bumper is off a Senton 3s that I. Bought from Jennysrc.com, but since the Senton is discontinued now from arrma. Jenny’s doesn’t have a listing. anymore for Sentons. They facebook forums/classifieds or eBay for used or take off parts for cheap. Good luck!!
I'm sure you've done some tweaks by now... entirely too stiff and that giant motor has altered your cg in this one... I'd be very interested in an update? Love mine. Just ordered some stiffer springs after installing the t bone kit
Picked up the Vorteks in green/blue for $329 and then went online .. ordered🤑 more in parts then i paid for the truck😱🙄 Carbon fiber brace and links, aluminum suspension, servo, gears, shocks, fans, lights, braces, cases etc❤😅
Just stumbled onto your channel. Nice video here, I have a granite I widened. Love it, just ordered my son the vorteks found it on AliExpress $240 for his 8th birthday. Looking to widen it for him. 🤘🏻
No this video is old but does anyone know if these wheels rub on full lock? I wanna try them because of how much longer they'll last but don't want it to mess my turning circle
I know your video is kinda old but I'm really diggin all these upgrades. Literally just got my vorteks and I'd like to address the bumper situation. Do I need to purchase the senton front chassis plate as well? Or does it just bolt right up to the vorteks front plate?
My Vorteks is around $800 now. Base is affordable, but so very boring😂 I can't leave anything alone so I spend a ton on unnecessary parts. Love my new green/blue custom Vorteks along with my Mojave Heavy Metal stadium and Losi Baja Rey desert truck❤
I don’t think so. It’s possible, but you’d have to find the supporting parts needed to beef up the axles, diff, motor plate etc. it’s why I buy the 3s models to start off with in case I do go big. Maybe better looking for a used 6s arrma.
I would save the extra work if youre just bashing. If and when the plastic gears go, then do your fluids. Saves you time and you can plan ito install the arrma metal input shaft, alumininum diff housing and diff fluid.
watching this vid cause my front drive is not getting power when on the ground, it spins freely when holding it though. I think i may have stripped a shaft or gears somewhere up front? Anyways thx for the breakdown vid!
I think the vortek is very versatile and can be made to dirt and jump bash as well as for street use and speed. Hope you and your grandson continue the hobby.
Best place for prices is by EBay. I reckon it’ll be cheaper than I got it because I live in Hawaii and have to pay for shipping. However, if you can, I always suggest you buy it at your local hobby shop. You’ll support small business and your community and you can start forging a relationship with workers there if you ever have questions and problems. Good luck. For Arrma stock parts, I look on JennyRC which are takeoffs and resold. You save on cost vs brand new.
@watsnu2day thank you for that suggestion. I've watched your videos about 4 or 5 times now and can't seem to make up my mind on if I want to keep putting money into the vortek or go with like a outcast or kraton 4s
