- Things started out good wtih the speed test. The mesh looked and sounded good, but once I put it under 3s power...things quickly went downhill.

3s really perked it up. Great video Tony. Enjoy your weekend.
I changed my Senton Mega to the BLX spur and pinion gears and housing. Runs great on brushless motor and 3S!
same thing happen to me on my mega senton 3s run. got it figured out and that thing is fast enough for me now...you got good speed though 💯💯💯👍👍👍
nice vid! ive got the same power system and its got a surprising amount of power and efficiency. great for racing and light bashing 👍
Always cool videos. I just got all the brushless electronics for my Granite Mega. Should be fun.
Steel 48p is what I run on my Senton and it is beautiful. Personally don't think it's necessary to go mod.1 on a mega conversion. Just need metal gears and metal input shaft on the rear diff.
Hey how is the steel gear holding up? Deciding on whether to go with that or the plastic 32p
@@travispratt6327 Steel 48p gears are smooth as butter on a hot a Texas day...using the higher pitch gears makes it much quieter as well. Go mod1 or 32p it'll be tougher and a lot noisier...and unnecessary on smaller scales, use lower pitch for larger vehicles since the torque can get nutty but on a 10th scale you're not likely to have any issues with 48p 😉
That’s how I started on my 4s outcast now everything metal diffs included cool video 👍👍💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Yea your 4s outcast is bad ass. I should've jump on board with you on that one 😒
Spectrum 4000 or 3300 kv motor with 85 amp esc combo and new pinion was $107 after taxes at the hobby shop and are great! You do mid 30’s on 2s which is what we prefer to run anyway, due to less possible damage and still speeds good enough for track racing and bashing using a 15t pinion on the Typhon Mega!
I went with the 3300kv and the 85 amp spektrum still have stock mega gearing in it with good mesh and 2s its faster than the one in this video looks on 3s and doesn't tear itself apart. I'd say you're right, the fan bearing in my esc seems to be funky straight out the box tho. Could of been something in it gonna clean and run it some more and see how long the stock spur lasts. It looked like the mesh was a little loose from the factory. Any suggestions on what spur and pinion to swap to once I fry it?
The 3s and mega are the same, except for the drive train and turnbuckles. I stripped mine as well, just put a vortex spur assembly in it. It rips!
Hot Racing makes a great spur gear ⚙️ used it on my senton conversion
Hot Racing makes a nice 48 spur. Had one in my Senton for years. Matched with metal input gears and a Robinson Racing hardened pinion, it's bullet proof
I believe this 2020 model has the metal input gears. They diffs are supposed to be able to handle brushless conversion.
I put a metal spur on my smt10 never looked back
Nice video! Keep it up 👍
Nice! I have that car and the blx version on my page..
Are the Big Rock arms the same as these or longer?
I added a post about this happening to me twice in your last typhon video. Horizon sent me a replacement now for my third attempt. My guess is that there is a little bend to the red aluminium shaft or the spring causes a small wobble. I would check mesh with gearbox screwed together then rotate gear. Mesh would be perfect in one spot, then a little play in a diff spot as I rotated the gear. Best to just get a 32 pitch gear and save alot of time.
Hi I'm very new (just got my typhon mega a few days ago). Any specific spur gear you recommend, or, how would I be able to know what gear I could get and use? I see this for the typhon 3s but I assume it's a replacement 48p and is not the "32 pitch" gear like you talk about: www.arrma-rc.com/part/ARA310947
The spur assembly is a bit of a final straw for upgrading this car. New motor and power controls, new battery, shaft stabilizer and now a spur assembly. Just get the 6s if you want more speed.
Do they make steel spur gears for those ?
Did you ever replace the Spur? any other mods you did to this one?
Arrma wants to be known as the brand of tough trucks.
running the 4kv system in latest granite mega so has the 13t 37t diff gears , 14t pinion 3s 50c 5000mah punch level 5 and yet to kill a spur even tho ive snapped 2 shafts and stripped input gear which are the same as the 3s version. tbh not sure why so mean people strip spurs so easy in the hobby as i have yet to do so , just adjust mesh so its tight as poss without binding i tried paper and thought the result was poor tbh . if i strip a spur there £3-£4 anyway i brought a spare when ordered input gear ara311031
where did you get wheels and tires
What spur gear did you use
The Mega actually is built different from the 3s. My buddy had the mega and converted it, he couldnt keep a spur in his either. The mega's parts arent as beefy as the 3s. I cant remember the exact differences but side by side told the story.
💥💥💥Super💥💥💥👍
This is what i said:( those mega slippers doesnt hold even brushed power
Blx version is complety another story!
Knotch under your spur gear and allow dirt and debris to leave out and won't torch em as much. I seen a yeti conversion for this I wanna try on my senton mega brushless conversion currently on 2s I feel it is way under powered went from 17t to 26t not much difference. Want to throw 3s on it and let her rip and see how the spur holds up if it toast it then gonna get the yeti conversion.
From reading on things we can use the blx spur assembly on these. Would make it alot easier on the spurs
How did this work for you, did you get the metal spur gear in? Did it in turn destroy the pinion gear? I could not agree more about notching the pan. My sons 'MEGA' is completely stock and clean, it toasted the spur gear after about 20 hrs. Looking at the base plate there is a spot where clear rubbing occurred between the spur and the pan, without any dirt. Design flaw.
@@cclongboards yes it all worked I ended up swapping to a 3s motor and esc and changed the diff gears also cause shafts started breaking
@@cclongboards all in all tbh if you wanna upgrade them just cut the slot and maybe swap brushless don’t mess with pinion gears or any of that cause once you do everything starts breaking be cheaper to get you a 3s senton or a 4s after that I don’t have them anymore I ended up getting a 4s kraton for my son and me a 6s kraton and them things are beasts a pretty penny for em but I can get it to do what they were doing breaking parts comfortably
@xxxg0t3mxxx Thanks for the input. Going to leave this stock for my kid for the time being, but I may upgrade to the metal pinion. This car is plenty for him to handle at this point. Got it 2 years ago when he broke 2 cheap RCs with no repair options. Aarma seems a good brand for parts availability, a bit touch and go during 2020, but good since.
I got 30 MPH Stock electrics 3s the original brushed ESC can run 3s like a champion
Using 23t pinion on arrma granite 4x4 mega converted brushless 3300kv (3s), 60 mph speeds, no stripped spur gear.
Bummer it broke but it sure was a lot faster
Smartest thing would be to get the transmission from New model MEGA 4x4 with that motor housing. Much easier than doing it old way.
This is the new 2020 MEGA 4x4.
@@CCxRC Jason said we should now be able to just drop in the 32p spur gear with that version then. Mine is old version and way complicated if trying to use the stock spur. If you have the newer version then you should be able to use your stock spur and just switch the gear to a 32p....supposedly! I had to just use a 3s slipper clutch assembly.
In the video you mentioned cost and if you have the new version it would be more cost effective to reuse your spur with a 32p spur gear installed. Unlike mine, I had to get the 3s slipper clutch assembly and it basically took my cost up to 3s BLX truck. I had told you how I had done mine in the past, and I wanted to make sure you knew that using the stock slipper is now supposed to be way easier. Found that isn't the case though. I guess they will get the slipper right on the next one. IDK..anymore!..:)
the smartest thing is sell the mega and buy the new 3s version ,problems solved lol
I have the same car with a hobbywing ezrun max10 3200kv brushless motor and esc.
20teeth it’s goes about 50mph on a 3s 2200mha batty. Iv never had this happen before. This is weird!!
Oh and it doesn’t over heat at all. I can still go fast if I wanted too as well.
Nice! Being very new, I put in the 3300kv which is not a perfect fit for the car. Still, way better than the brushed, of course. I saw the 3200kv has a 5mm shaft and comes with a pinion. Did you change the spur or the input dtive to the metal versions? I would appreciate an update on how it went, please.
I’ve upgraded mine to 4S, capable of 6S with the Max8 and the Spektrum 1900kv motor w/21T pinion. I’ve also upgraded the drivetrain to all metal and suspension components. The thing is a beast! Need a mph device to see what she does. But when you went from 2S to 3S it was much faster! Get that metal slipper! Love mine!
What parts did you order for the conversion?
I have the same car but runs 4s
The price you pay when you push them. Nice hits though
The moral of the story is, if you are going to go brushless, just get the 3s. By the time you done all these things you have a worse buggy that cost more than the 3s model.
Agreed. It would cost in total over $410 retail to turn a mega into a blx using identical new parts.
Lawrence Timme I would but I didn’t know I was going to go brushless and I didn’t know there even was a 3s typhon, the 550 was my first car and has been my favorite car for just about a month now and I finally want to go with a brushless upgrade, and I plan on upgrading just about everything to the 3s components, such as the bearings, gears, tires, etc. Will be an expensive, but yet fun project.
Nobody No O’Neill mean ya but who would get identical parts? Most people get different brushless systems that the 3s uses and almost no one will ever get the entire 3s components down to the bearings and screws lol (except me because I’m crazy and stupid)
@@spinster4000 Let's do the math. What system would you use?
Nobody No One personally I’m going with the arma BLX 100 system, but a heads up I suck at math lol
Pay for the name Arrma has no game
Spur and Pinion should be changed to sth with lesser teeths
Spent all that time and money on mods and it brakes and tossed to the side
really disappointing Arrma went 48P on an 1/8 scale car. they gave us no room for upgraded power without spending money. wouldn't have cost them any more to include the 3S 32P spur setup, but instead they make you spend $50 to buy it and replace the worthless 48P crap.
