Grom Upgrades

[payhay]

Now that these fun little trucks have been out for a little bit, what kind of upgrades are you guys putting on them?

Will they work on the new Grom Typhon?

Mo powa. If you want standing backflips try a Castle Micro X2. Better diff could be nice too.

I have the Granite. If you are going brushless i would reccomend metal Diffs, upgrade CVD's s possibly Aluminum Arms. Brushless i went with Hobby Mate 16bl30 and motor. Everyone was saying use a motor with a 2.3mm shaft the hobbymate is 2.0mm and i had no issues with the pinion gear or mesh.

Most definitely not aluminum arms, you never want aluminum arms. Keep it as light as possible and it won't break as often, if you use aluminum arms you'll end up snapping a chassis

Plan on breaking a lot more stuff then. Though it is 1/18 scale. It won't be as bad as putting aluminum arms on a bigger kit, but it's a monster truck. So it's likely right there on the line of being too heavy for aluminum arms. Does RPM make arms for it? If so, I'd buy them.

Good idea, RPM.

They will. Give it a bit. It's a fairly new RC.

They had the granite grom out for a few years

It came out late last year.
