ARRMA Senton 4X4 3S BLX Brushless 1/10 Ready-to-Run Short Course Truck

The ARRMA Senton 4X4 3S BLX Brushless 1/10 Ready-to-Run Short Course Truck is a scale model for off-road racing and bashing, featuring a brushed motor, 4WD system, and pre-painted body. This RC short course truck reaches speeds up to 50 mph with the included 3S LiPo battery, suitable for hobbyists interested in remote control short course trucks for dirt tracks or backyard runs.

Performance

The Spektrum SLT3 3200kV brushless motor delivers consistent power for speeds up to 50 mph, with the 4WD system providing traction on loose surfaces like dirt or grass. The oil-filled shocks and independent suspension support handling over jumps, though the truck's weight can cause slight nose-diving during hard landings. Some feedback notes that the included 3S battery lasts 15–20 minutes of aggressive driving, requiring spares for longer sessions.

Build Quality

The high-impact composite chassis and reinforced frame hold up to crashes, with metal gears in the drivetrain for reliability. Full ball bearings reduce friction, but the plastic differentials may slip under high torque, as noted in user feedback. The waterproof electronics protect against moisture, though the body shell may crack on severe impacts. Upgrade options like metal parts are available to improve durability.

Control

The Spektrum SLT3 2.4GHz transmitter offers a range of about 100 meters with proportional steering and throttle. The servo provides responsive handling, though some reports indicate minor input lag at maximum range. The controls are straightforward for beginners, though the transmitter requires 4 AA batteries (not included). Adjusting throttle limits helps with speed management, but the lack of advanced features like dual-rate limits customization.

Design and Features

The truck's body has a rugged short course design with LED lights for visibility. The dBoots Katar tires offer grip on multiple surfaces, and the adjustable suspension allows ride height changes. The 3S 1200mAh LiPo battery provides a runtime of 15–20 minutes, with a 1-hour charge time via the included charger. The manual includes setup basics, though additional research may be needed for tuning.

Special Notes: This is a Ready-to-Run model, fully assembled with a pre-painted body, 3S 1200mAh LiPo battery, charger, and 4 AA transmitter batteries included. No additional purchases are needed. Suitable for beginners with simple controls, but experienced users can upgrade differentials for better performance.
