Lol yep you’re right about that. I kept yelling “stop trying to pry the hex off, it unscrews” 😂😂 Nice video. I absolutely love my Grom! You’re right, upgrades on cheap trucks don’t make much practical sense financially, but, it’s part of the hobby guys like us enjoy. As soon as my LHS starts getting the upgraded parts I’m gonna start on mine too 😁
I’ve got 2 groms, I’m keeping one stock for a control and the other is getting everything I can throw at it, brushless, aluminum only where it makes sense, bigger wheels and big bore shocks. I run mine HARD at the skate park, I’ve seen both truck 30+ feet in the air off a vert ramp land in any configuration you can imagine and they just zip off like you just took it out of the box, 10/10 one of my favorite Rc and 110% recommend to anybody in the hobby
Note I’ve had them for about 3 months now and my only issue has been the dinky plastic diff couplers, but jb weld temporarily or possibly permanently fixed that issue lol
Great video! Horizon did right and released an ESC/receiver/servo mount for upgrades. Their part number is ARA320753. A side note with those SLT transmitters, it has to be one of the new dual protocol SR215/315 receivers. The older ones were only compatible with the DSMR protocol.
I took the spring tension clips off the shocks and cut the front springs down a little to get the suspension to droop and it handles more like a hobby grade and less like a toy. It is 5x better handling.
