Comparing Arrma Big Rock to Arrma Granite 

*FIRST TIP* Definitely underspray your body in black or gunmetal....the flat black is on the OUTSIDE of the truck. So if you roll it the scratches and scrapes are show all the way thru the body shell. 😕

@@cacanjacowans540 Great tip!!!

What are the tape and glue for?

@@cjboots1115 The tape and glue are to protect the shell from breaking- It actually stiffens up the whole ride also (which is a good thing). Good tip to darken (coat) the underside too, to protect the body from the sun showing through the scratches on the skid plate/bottom, which are bound to shine through, shrug. They won't really hurt anything, but it doesn't help the appearance, wink.

Omg same but it's my stepdads big rock

Have you bought the granite? Do you have a preference?

Picked up the Granite today 👊🏻

Most Parts are. Also check out this site jennysrc.com

Added arrma/duratrax 12mm hexes and HR adapters to run PL 2.8 badlands on my V2 Granite 👍🏾

@@cacanjacowans540 I have just fitted HR adapters on the Big Rock already but on the first run out the front left locking barrel unscrewed, the wheel came off and I lost the pin and the outer wheel bearing so wondering about sticking with Arrma stock parts as I own the Typhon 3s BLX already and have never had a wheel come off that car.

@@pipnmaz be sure to LOCKTITE next time. I haven't had any issues luckily 🤞

Maybe try to recalibrate a reset it back to factory settings

@@JayTeeRC thanks for the advice, will give that a go today. Hopefully it fixes it. I really love this truck!

Bet your Dad wins most races, lol...

No you can order a solid blue body, that is made for the Big Rock.

I'm new to RC Trucks and I've ran those exact batts back to back checking the heat of the motor and it felt luke warm on a 60* day. As far as power goes it's not too fast it just can't keep the front tires on the ground, but makes for some badass 100' wheelies.

If it's a V3 - 3S batteries SHOULD run fine without presenting a heat issue. The mah doesn't really matter (it just has to physicallly fit) just the voltage: 2S are 7.4vdc and 3S are 11.1 vdc. Heat is mostly caused by current flow, but motors are really only designed to run at certain voltages without overheating (of course, without proper cooling, the longer it runs, the hotter it gets) THAT'S where mah comes in...

🤔

I think the outcast shell will fit the granite cause of the wheelbase is longer on the big rock.

What has been your experience of both and their differences and pros/cons?

🤤🤤🤤

@@roosterrc6519 ? what r u talking about? scared of what🙄? y'all crack me up with y'alls "thoughts" on things. if you pay attention to my videos posted you would see which one I like the best...

control like? the BR is better in my opinion but i guess it depends on what u trying to do

🤔

@@JayTeeRC no answer? 😅

@@ALexD-ck5fi BR all around

@@JayTeeRC great thx for reply. Just getting into this hobby and was debating between big rock abd typhon 3s? Any suggestions?

@@ALexD-ck5fi both are good. the typhon is best between the two. Big rocks going to be faster and can run a little bit better off road but between those two I like typhon better

Not without a lot of work. Big Rock chassis is longer...

dang😔

@@JayTeeRC upgrades are coming sooner than I planned. It is a good truck, just suffering from some poor assembly issues. I upgraded esc to the BLX 120 runs way cooler now.

Don't give up on it yet bro! I bought Serpent 811te RTR last month (1st 1/8th scale truggy) and had few issues out of box---too much red loctite on wheel hexes. Caused jammed wheel nuts when changing wheels/tires for another basher MT set I bought; resulted in 3 bent cvds. Then my front & rear diffs stripped out after 1st full bash. Older, non-shimmed V1 gears were in there. Shimmed V1 gears are in center diff and performs very smooth. Serpent America mailed out 4x cvds (free) but I had to buy new diff gears. Updated V2 gears (require no shims & have deeper tooth design) now all diffs are very smooth. Heavier oils 50/300/30 she runs BEASTLY!! ARRMA sells legit, probably the best RTRs in all of RC....

Das tuff😕

Depends who you talk to, some say the Big Rock has 12mm hex's and some say it has 14mm hex's. At Amazon it says take the M4 adaptor (which is actually 7mm with a nylon locker). Anyway, since they both take the same adaptors, the Granite tires SHOULD fit on the Big Rock (as long as both are "stock"...), shrug...

@@scottp.2995 I already sold my Big rock 3s but thank you for replying

Ok I’ve had a rustler and I could not drive it longer than 10 minutes at the Max then it needed parts it was ridiculous! I ordered the Arrma and I’m hoping it will be better

Both are great I think the Arrma is priced a little better than Traxxas but both brands are great quality

I'd go with Arrma, I think Traxxas got too big for their britches and quality started to suffer...

you can set the punch to prevent from happening

BR..m

Try a Traxxas Maxx. It will almost never break.

dang 😌

or 4s one 😈😈😈

🔥🔥🔥😎👍🏾

Or a granite with the big rock A-arms! 💯👍🏼

@@ajgreen868 they're typhon 3S arms basically. Lol
