The Arrma Senton is an extremely well built and durable RC truck. I bought it as a basher and I like the short course truck platform. A few things to note… I installed a 15 tooth pinion gear, This is to keep the truck running a little bit cooler, you don’t really lose much in top end speed The ESC, is problematic, I had to replace mine within the first week. I kept getting thermal shut downs even though everything was running cool, whether I ran it with 2S batteries or 3S batteries. I checked many forums and found that it is a reoccurring problem with this model. The ESC I bought is a Hobbywing Xerun XR8 SCT. It runs the truck flawlessly. I have no more issues and it works perfectly with the brushless motor that came with the truck. You will need to buy the hobbywing program box separately for this ESC in order to access all of the programming. Out of the box this ESC only will do forward and break, you have to have the box in order to change the set up for reverse, and it gives you a ton of other options. It also has a USB port type C so that you can hook it up to your PC and Download firmware. It also allows you to check the voltage on your lipo batteries. The box is very handy and not a gimmick. I changed the receiver in the truck because I use a different transmitter, the flysky noble, which is an excellent radio. That being said, the radio that comes with the truck is decent and has a nice option of being able to run the truck at 50% 75% and 100% speed rates, which is a nice feature if this is your first fast vehicle. The tires on the truck grip well, I have used it on hill climbs, through grass, on sand, over gravel and on asphalt. Being that the truck is pretty fast, it doesn’t take much to put it into a spin if you turn the wheels sharply, so to get the best performance from the vehicle you need to have good throttle control and not oversteer This truck can take a tremendous beating. I have taken jumps and botched the landing many times causing the vehicle to flip over four, five or six times in a row. The body shell has not cracked or split. I have not broken any body mounts. One thing I found with the body mounts is that the holes for the body pins were a little too tight, so I used a drill bit to make those holes just a hair bigger, makes getting the pins in an out much easier This truck would have gotten five stars, but the ESC issue made me drop one star. The option that I picked to replace it along with the program box I mentioned will set you back an extra $130. Also be aware of that particular ESC needs to have the wires for the motor and the battery lead soldered on. So it is not a simple plug and play. I still think the truck is an excellent value for the price, it really is a very durable and well put together vehicle. I have two rock crawlers, one of which I have completely rebuilt three different times and between all of those builds have spent well north of $2000 to get the vehicle I want out of it. So when I say that this truck is a good value for its durability and the experience it will give you, it’s coming from an honest and practical mindset. Read full review

this is my first short coarse truck but my 3rd arrma blx and I'm torn because all have there merits. But for this track I built it seems to make the best laps. And less bounce on landing "shorter jumps" perhaps it's the smaller profile wheels.

Awesome truck but definitely not RTR. First run the front right wheel fell off. Do the pre run maintenance & thread lock your axles. Clean the bearings often & it's a blast!
