Senton with typhon body or other

[Noah Zimmerman]

I would like to swap a typhon body onto my senton.. maybe. It looks like an expensive swap adding in the body, body post sets, front and rear body posts, guards, wing mount and wing. Are there any other options here? The rocks/pebbles locking up the steering is killing me. I was looking to swap to the typhon body to hopefully help this issue unless there are other body options. I really like the baja bug body but it look like it won't seal as well as the typhon body would.

Jennysrc.com The parts are much cheaper here than buying from Arrma.

Why not just swap the Senton guards for the ones on the Granite? It takes a bit of finagling, but, i did it on mine. Just replace these from the Senton:

With these ones from the Granite Mega/3S:

Have you done this swap? Do you also use the granite body? I think even with those guards and the senton body it would not change that much.

Yes, i have done this swap, on the LWB (Senton/Typhon) chassis, using an SCT body. For anyone who wants to know what it involves, i will say, its not a direct fit, and, you do have to modify the Granite guards slightly. Here is how i did mine. This is the side with the battery straps:

and this is the opposite side:

the circled areas are where you have to trim the Granite guards to make them fit over the Senton side guards, as well as over the battery straps, and, here is what it looks like on the truck:

at the very back of the guards, you will have to find a way to attach them. If you look at the pics, i was lazy and just drilled a couple holes and used zip-ties to hold it there.

These are another idea, if they ever come to the states: https://scorchedparts.co.uk/products/inner-fender-wells-arrma-senton-3s or if one of the companies here would make them.

Didn't you get a dust cover?

If you are asking me, no, i didnt. I never have, and i run all my SCT's and LWB hybrids ( i make my own truggies using LWB chassis, and adding a wing) in all kinds of terrain, and i never have issues with rocks and gravel affecting the steering. Maybe I'm just lucky.
