Best cheap Basher on the planet. Mods: Granite Tyres and Bumper, Typhon 3s Wingmount with Outcast 4s Wing, Arrma Slipper Sleeve, Set Punch to 5. Other mods if you want the best: Arrma Boost Diff Kit for metall diffs, Typhon 6s shocks and so on.
Issues I had with mine... Rear plastic axles popping at Universal... Motor mount bends easily, creates gap at spur and strips. Replace with arrma metal shafts and m2c motor plate.
Pick up the M2c chassis braces, a lot nicer than anything else out there throw in the cvd upgraded axles once the stock universals break, and they will once you start running 4s on the big rock and it’s in destructible
Ok I’m gonna need one of those trucks. I’ve always liked the looks of it I didn’t realize it went so hard on 3S. I’ve been looking at that new Stampede vxl 3S 4x4 but this truck might be the best value for sure!
This is the toughest rc I own box stock. I learned how to jump and flip with it. Ugly and long pocess...😅. After I broke the body, 2 years later, I did a refresh and added AVC and the 4S esc from my Lasernut. The stock motor has dealt with 4S with stock gearing with no problems yet. Stinkin fast on 4S. Looking forward to more vids on this one!
I had a Slash 4x4 VXL as my first “good” RC. I got an Arrma Granite 4x4 BXL and it handles and drives so much better. I think it’s the wide tires and track width these have. They’re fun for sure.
Yea I feel like SCTs as a whole feel like boats. Gotta dial them in a ton for them to feel nice. Just got my 2wd slash down to a decent lap time recently
Man!!! Any Arrma 3s line is killer!!! You need to find a good used vendetta or the infraction 3s, gear them down a bit and there’s your touring cars for the pad! And of course the big rocks nice…..it’s an ARRMA
Great truck… after a few mods. Must do upgrades are arrma CVD driveshafts for the rear, metal spur gear and metal diff gears front and rear. Stock plastics will all blow eventually, just upgrade as you go and its a beast once the drivetrain is upgraded!
shocks are the only problem i have ever had with my bigrock. i put the 6s shocks on it but now since the re release of the 4s line with the 2.0 not the 2.5 4s rigs people been using them shocks as the spring is a little softer.
It’s hard because the maxx is more than twice the price or twice the price and still without the ummmf and handling of brcc but the maxx is much more truck still
Yep so many people do this upgrade it drives the prices higher for typhon shocks than all others , and never is stock , I had to use the 4s shocks from v1
Vendetta has DX3 with AVC. And thats fine! Offroad Arrma 3s has Slt3 without avc, which is not bad. But of course a Noble nb4, gt5 and co is better. (Oh quit...yeah one dx3 left the game too soon. But when it works it works fine).
@@truerc yep and the senton I think the arms are wider on black version v2 but still different from the typhon , I wanted to use the typhon parts to convert brcc to 17mm instead of using adapters but everyone does this so parts always sold out my brcc and granite have a lot usage sometimes not worth rebuilding till you can pick up one on clearance
@@spenn2007 Ah yes👍I had Typhon on my mind when I replied because the 3s Big Rock is similar. So I mistakenly read that as saying the 6s Typhon was 1/7 scale. Not sure how that happened.
I can't say I love mine. When it works it is fun but mine constantly has problems. The axles are weak, I believe the input gear is made out of soap (I have gone through 3 of them which tears up the diff gear), the ESC randomly quite on me, and the spur gear went not long ago (it got decent life but I was expecting more). Also, the tires are absolute garbage and suck above 40 mph which is inexcusable to me when the truck is capable of over 50 mph on 3s. I think they should have these common issues figured out by now (it is V3 and it has been out for a long time). That being said, I get it is a lot of fun when it works and some people seem to really love them.... I just get annoyed with the constant breakdowns. Sure there are parts that you can get to upgrade the truck but they are expensive and Arrma could do so much better with the truck in stock form for little extra cost.
Cant wait to see what you do for upgrades, i have one thats slowly falling apart lol. Shafts keep coming un done, and wheels falling off. Soon to address the issues.
GREAT REVIEW! I'm new to RC trucks (I fly RC planes) and I'm considering a few 3S trucks. I want to get the best bang for my buck but I don't mind spending a little more if the value is there. I've really been looking at the RIAARIO Omni Terminator but I also like ARRMA Granite, Rival MT10. What is your sugestion in the 3S truck class?
Arrma 3s are problematic and i hope Arrma give them the same upgrades they gave the 4s v2.5 that way they might last without having to replacing the shocks, the drive train, the axles, the crappy ESC. This is for starters. Any serious basher knows without serious upgrades these fall apart.
@@thepatternforms859buy an Arrma Gorgon and slap a $100 brushless combo in it… thank me later 🤜🏼🤛🏼. It may be 2wd but it’s more fun than any 1/10th 4wd I’ve ever had
I had an Arrma Big Rock 3S and it even had rear wings spoiler on it. ru-vid.comOKAzjllVxoE?feature=shared But I sold it couple months ago and just keeping my Rival MT10 instead and upgrade stuff on it.
