I just converted my 3s Senton V3 into a big rock (still waiting for body) and I also just received a JLB 21101 120a version and got noticing a lot of similarities. Thought others might find a side by side interesting as well.

A bit of caution on the JLB. They arent nearly as durable as the Arrma. In colder weather, they tend to not be as durable even on small jumps. For some reason, even though you can only get them through BangGood or other online retailers, they seem to be popular around where i live. However, i have seen quite a few with quick to die ESC's, glitchy servos and radios, and easily broken parts. I have a DHK Hunter that i jumped across a 20 foot gap, in 35 degree weather, with snow and ice on the ground, and didnt break anything. My neighbor has a JLB Cheetah, and a J3 Speed, and, on the same jump, same day, neither JLB made it a full battery pack before something broke. It could have a bit to do with his driving though, since i have seen him in a very large parking lot, and his Nissan Titan being the only vehicle in sight, and he managed to run into it 3 times with the Cheetah in less than 5 minutes, which finally destroyed the entire left front suspension. Other people i know around here with JLB stuff have similar issues with parts breaking, and a couple of them do know how to drive, since they race pretty much anything with wheels on local tracks, and have been doing it for years.Both are yet to run, at least the Arrma in Big Rock form that is. Will be interesting to see the difference. I also added motor fans and a gyro to the JLB so should hold it's own I think.
I don't really run in the winter so it's sitting comfortably in it's box awaiting spring. I expect the servo to go, but that happens on the Arrma's too. ESC being a hobby wing I expect equivalent life to the Spectrum. Motor I suppose is unknown as they don't list a manufacturer.A bit of caution on the JLB. They arent nearly as durable as the Arrma.
