Thank you Moe!! You are awesome man!! I just did everything step by step with you upgrade to 20T 💪🏾💪🏾. But I appreciate all the detailed step-by-step in the video a lot of ppl cut little step out so thanks again. Going to have fun with the 20T then to that speedy 23T
Great video I just bought a arrma senton 3s blx in July and I am very impressed with everything about it jumped to a 128mm tire getting a little cogging so installing a 15 tooth to compensate for the bigger tires your video made it super easy thanks
I watched this about a dozen time along with a few others setting my mesh. One thing I fought were the grooves the screw had in the plate from the factory. Trying to move it just a bit the screw wanted to fall back in those grooves. The washers will take care of that along with keeping the mesh tight.
Thank u so much for a great detailed video. I just got myself a typhon 3s and was able to replace the pinion with no issues. It did took me over an hour but thats ok for first time. Great step by step video. By the way the 20t pinion makes a big difference on speed. That thing screams now. 👍👍👍👍
I've been looking everywhere for somebody that rolled there car bc I did t know if it was supposed to make that sound my traxxas did t sound like that when I rolled it thank you so much !!!! I appreciate it bro just got my granite today can't wait to drive it
@@moerc I will !!! Does it hold up good ? My dad is roasting it cause it's not traxxas 😂 he says it's a giant hunk of plastic junk I said what do you think my slash is lol and he asked what brand it was I said arrma and he said never heard of it it's trash
Lol, well it’s all good- he is entitled to his opinion. Watch my video on the slash, then watch my videos on the Arrma granite and big rock Both off the 1/4 pipe. See who survives and who doesn’t. Check the speed tests. They blast my 4s Maxx on 3s.
@@moerc so I got the truck a few days ago on the like second day I want to say I broke it I was doing a top speed test it was flying and I crashed it straight into the neighbors mail box it sounded like the armory set off a bomb it was so loud and the mailbox lid flew off so I was over there and shoved their lid back on and drove my truck right up out of the ditch I was like holy cow nothing is broke then it was all limp and I was like what the heck I bent a shock snapped the drive shaft and later that night I was looking at it and I found out that I cracked the whole chassis in half but I was expecting it to explode arrma really is tough Im about 99 percent sure a traxxas couldn't have done any better
Ive got this big rock and Kraton on order. My first RC was the Typhon 3s v2. I was dogged with pinion problems, after 10 mins running the pinion would not stay on the motor. Rounded 4 grub screws in 6 months. Fingers crossed the v3 3s range don't have the same problem. Great video
Appreciate the compliment!! Yah those pinions get tricky. I noticed sometimes I Would not have them fastened to the flat part of the motor shaft on the v2. U gonna love the kraton my friend!! Appreciate you being here!! 🤙🏽💪👊🏽👊🏽
This is by far the best video I've seen on YT for this subject. I got all the modules out but didn't know how to get the safety clip and grub screw out! Had to take it into my local hobby store to get it changed. Had I seen this video before I would have done it myself. Thank you 🙏 I just hit the like and subscribe buttons.
Moe my man I am a total newbie and i am watching info vids back 2 back. When I get my Big Rock I am pulling out all the stops. I will be going through it and making sure I did all I could in making it Bash ready! I read a reply below regarding what pinion to use for more torque You said 15t(stock) , 14t, 13t. I would like a snappy powerful torque AND reach 50 or more mph Looking for BEAST MODE Does a pinion guide exist or would you know off hand? Your vid is amazing BTW I will be watching it several more times when I have everything i need to do the job. Subscribed👍👍
Arrma needs to make the spur smaller and pinion bigger so that they can fully seal the bottom of the module. Dirt and grit always finds it's way in and chews thru spurs.
A little advice for anyone changing the stock pinion. It took me 10 mins to get the stock 15t off and it was really hard to get it off. Running the 20t for a few days but changed back to stock as the motor does over heat really easy.
Ordered the 20t pinion and metal spur for my new aarma and the power hobby high powered fan, which I'll replace the stock motor fan, hopefully it won't over heat. Also going to swap the original motor/esc for the spektrum 150amp esc and 2050kv motor as well once that comes in.
Was it the pinion gear that was recommended to be plastic when changing or some other gear ? I also own a big rock but today we heard a bad sound while driving it slowly for the first time and i guess i overdid the throttle while having the go pro attatched to it (increasing weight and strain) and some gear must have stripped. Can you think which is the most likely one ? Thanks in advance !
Hi Moe, all the way from Indonesia. I am getting the Big Rock, will be shipped from Horizon to a friend in TX an hopefully here. I don't have good access to parts so I also ordered about 100 bucks of spare parts. On to the pinion, I know it is subjective but what do you suggest. i will run 3s and really I am looking for a fun, reliable and easy going basher. I don't jump to the moon or even to where the mosquitos fly, for outright speed i have cheap, brushless sct and on 2s the ting is fast enough (no good tracks here, so mostly running on the street, too much power as is). So this will run in parks, on the grass or the beach. I was thinking to get just a smaller one, like 13??? Any input will be appreciated on the pinon or must have upgrades/spare parts. Got arms, shock rebuilt, spur gear, slipper clutch kit, ball joints and arms, shock shafts/yoke kit, steering knuckle, diff case, some o rings....Thx
Indonesia? I love it! Nice work on all the spares you purchased. This should be adequate. The big rock v3 (knock on wood) is a beast. I have not replaced anything on mine and drive it hard. As for the the pinion, I would go with an 18t. Give you some more top speed without sacrificing too much low end. Also the motor temps will be good. I have a 13t but have never put it in. This truck has so much torque and wheelie with a 15t, not sure what type of terrain you would want a 13t for. Hope the new year went well! Have a good day and appreciate you being here! 🤝🤝🤝🤝🏎💪🏎🏎🤝
@@moerc ok great, 18 it is. yep indonesia, not great but not as crazy as rest of the world. on some vids i even see guys get chased out of parks running electric res....not much freedom left...but we are spoiled in use with buying stuff which is cheap and easy to get. i lived in ny and tx for 30 plus years, don't know if i am coming back. yep, i am excited about the arrma, my chinese stuff runs good...when it runs...thx again
@@pawelwolski1316 wow, good to appreciate the little things and the blessing we get. Keep me posted on your journey with the big rock and appreciate you being here! 🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝
Moe my adjustable mesh screws came loose on second run and stripped out spur gear a little so i adjusted it back and then it did it again on the 4th run what do u think i should do. Exellent vid by the way good in depth tutorial
Try not meshing it as tight. To clarify, Did the mesh screws come loose again on the 4th run? Is there dirt or debris inside the screw holes or on the mesh screws?
Yea on the 4th run it was good for ten minutes the it started grinding so i took it apart again and the pinion was moved over due to loose mesh screws and yea a little diirt on mesh where screw heads sit against it
Congrats man! Hope all is well! Should be ready to go out the box. Of course look it over for any visible damage. Wheel nuts are tight. One thing to really make note of is when you get near full thorttle see if it wants to pull left. I changed the tires on mine to the mx28 but stock are good to go as well. Let me know how it goes! 🤝🏎🏎🤝🤝
@@moerc arrived today and had a blast in the snow. Handles like a dream and the black look on the white snow feels awesome. RC drying out and it will be ready to smash it tomorrow. Thanks man
2 quick questions mo. What shock oil weight is best for the Big Rock for skatepark bashing? And what wrench size do I need for the wheels as only got 17mm hex wrench and it's to big? Sorry for pestering you so late.
