The new body mounts are so so so much better, the truck is a total tank, it's my favourite car I have by a massive margin.
This truck is awesome in many ways. Worth the upgrades for sure. I almost got wiped out my my buddies on a bash session. He came off a jump and went 50 feet in the air and I had to duck to avoid getting hit. My son would have loved this RC.
Ohh no nothing like a big rc coming at you that could have been bad. I bet he would have liked it sorry for your loss.
Ok ok. I was debating buying this truck. But now since you challenged me to making parts, I guess I’ll go buy it now.
Lol I know your up to it and it will be great! It is a fun rc I enjoy it
@@L2theWcarscoffeelifelet me know what parts 😂
@@MrZachybreezy He made bumper mounts shock cap protectors, wing, body mount support, shock protectors garageliferc.com/collections/arrma-mojave
The Mojave is a blast to drive. Make sure you tighten the wheel nuts. I got the M2c double lock nuts and they have not moved. Other than that the car is good. Oh ya I did drywall and shoe goo the body. Like you said the body will start to crack and brake. It is a dirt catcher for sure 😂 They have fenders for it. But I’d like to see what you use as a net.
Looks a whole lot more stable than the slash😊😊
Before investing a servo saver and servo yes very much so this just works out of the box as it should now that I fixed the other it does drive good but its not anything you should have to do I am really liking the Mojave its a beast
The people who were saying there’s nothing wrong with the Maxx Slash stock, were either getting their trucks from Traxxas, hoping to get trucks from Traxxas or just driving it straight back and forth without actually driving it like your average consumer would! That’s why I respect your reviews! You told it like it was! There’s a difference between being a brand hater and a true driver! Great video again! Thanks!
Thank you very much. I got a lot of people like you said compared me to the channels that just launch off a ramp not drive it there is a difference. I dont care much for big air I know some do so I got the ramp to show some level of jumping I have no agenda just sharing what I see and I am a consumer too I pay for these and I expect it to work. Thank you very much for the kind words and support
The Maxx Slash if it was styled into being a 1/6 stunt truck it would’ve done so much better
Definitely glad you did awesome truck
Yes it is I am enjoying it a lot
The mojave is one of those RC's that I will never part with. I got the exb roller and stuffed the hobbywing 1650kv max 6 combo in it with a 23t pinion. Its a rocket. And it just glides over bumpy terrain so well. This will become one of your favorites. A couple upgrades are all that is needed to make these perfect.
That is a cool story so far the way it is I am enjoying it a lot I am very happy with it I agree it would be hard to part with
My fireteam came with the updated esc and servo (grey) but no paperwork on esc button configuration chart 🤯 that was like a year ago 😉 i updated to max6 combo. 😁 All good now. I have made mine very heavy with all the metal upgrades. Titanium chassis from scoarched and hinge pins, tool steel diff out drives from Ram Jam racing and titanium upper front hinge pins and rear outer hub pins. All metal diffs with steel gears. Stainless bottom plates to protect everything. Those are pretty much just extra weight to have on top of the titanium 😉 metal hub knuckels and proline wheels with 8x32 metal hubs hubs. Hot racing 15mm extensions. Integy metal a-arms. Perfect pass monster servo. I have upgraded everything to metal 🤯 radiomaster mt12 controller and ELRS receiver. Keeps me busy 😉 cool video man 😁
Looks like you like it bro… 4s is probably fun. But those extra two cells come in handy now and again
I had just purchased a mojave 6s, and let me tell you what...I'm super pumped about it 💪👍🤙😎 it arrives Tuesday. I heat its a super durable and fun truck
So far its been great I am happy with it. Make sure the pigtail connection for the fan is tied up mine got caught in the pinion ripped all the wires out other than that its awesome
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife will do. Thanks for the heads up 👍🤙
Took me a while to get to this one. Love my Mojave, have had it for several years at this point. Cool to see the small updates that they have done over time 👍
I never thought I would have one but I am glad to have it I am enjoying it
One thing to be aware of, if the esc on this is in anyway restricted, it is gonna cut out. The same with the Bigrock and Kraton. More than any other esc on the market, these require a substantial amount of airflow. I tried a chasis cover on both the Mojave and the Bigrock and both reacted the same. Once I started getting on the throttle they both started to cut out. And this was in colder weather. I'd imagine warm weather would be more problomatic. There is actually something in the Bigrock manual that talks about the esc needing a lot of air. It is extremely irratating because a major pet peeve of mine is cleaning shit out of the chasis but the damn system won't let you use the only thing that works. Both the Maxx/Slash and Maxx accept a chasis cover and dont miss a beat as but not this thing.
On fans I want to limit debris but need good airflow, I use tulle fabric. Lightweight, high burn point, and easy to install over Arrma’s fan grills; I just cut out a patch and screw down using the existing fan screws. It won’t limit sand or dust but it does stop pebbles, pine needles, and other fan killers.
They give you the cheapy remote for two reasons… most people buying these vehicles are going to have their own radio that they already have plans on using and it keeps costs down
Still missing the better reciever with avc and the basic battery telemetry is nice personally I put it on the dx5 I know some people would prefer it. I just dont get how they decide the Vendetta was 400 and it had it. They recievers arent cheap it would be nice either make them cheaper or add one. That's exactly what Team Corally said they dont put money into it because they feel its such a personal part of the experience
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife TC is right
For an RC at this price range it should not have the same remote as a $300 RC!
The sway bars on the Mojave 6s are useless but they do work on the Typhon. Hard running on the Mojave the motor does get very hot and that’s with the stock 16t gearing. All that being said I would still rather have it than the Maxx Slash and UDR. It has a more edgy handling which I prefer over other big trucks but it’s all in what you like.
As long as you do not rely on a gyro, you should be ok.
Awesome bro .
hi just brought this exact car with the later esc body mounts ect what did you set brakes to on esc
not ran mine yet as i’ve been sorting some upgrades and i reinforced body with shoe goo mod and dry wall tape waiting on a couple of battery’s then i’m going out
I set it at the next step up 50 percent I have not tried it yet that should be good if not you just set it one more until you get the braking you desire
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife cheers looking at going out next week hopefully my battery’s turn up so i can have a go im not in no hurry looks mint unused lol
Were you running this with the stock pinion or the included speed pinion?
@Doug_Morgan there is no speed pinion it was stock I dont change anything for reviews I show the out of the box experience
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife Wow talk about fast, I am still watching your wrap up at the end. Thanks so much.
@Doug_Morgan thanks for watching I hope you enjoy it
Dang sorry I have been getting so much on the new Lasernut I thought thats what you were talking about yes there is a speed pinion I did not have it installed sorry about that
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife OK cool as I had seen it in other reviews and thought maybe they had stopped including it. Thanks for the follow up.
Terrible how open it is and gets so full of grass easily!
@scuba6797 I put the scorched rc fenders on it check out that video
Hello
Hello my friend
why is this so long
Feel free to make your own video then if you are so much better
Awesome truck buddy ❤ sorely regret selling mine to be honest with you .
Awesome truck , one of the most stable and easiest to hoon around .
Fast and fun is the name of the game 👊🤙🤘🚀
Awesome purchase buddy
Stay awesome
Chris
Run it a few times then check those diffs ! I bloody miss mine terribly
Ah man you made want another now 🤦♂️🤣
@ChriswithaCrc lol sorry about that it is cool it has the new v2 esc and better servo. It is a wild beast and is so much fun. Like the Typhon this will still be wild on 4s I am sure of it. I am glad I got it we love to drive them. Thank you for watching and the support
I really like the Mojave 4s and 6s. If not for the Fireteam the 6s Mojave would be my favorite of the Arrma 6s line. I've never put a bigger pinion on my Mojave 6s but I've ran the speed pinion on my Fireteam for nearly 2 years and it's never had a heat issue.
Did I miss a video where you ran another speed test on the Maxx Slash? The one I saw said 57mph.
Dang it man your right I had to go back and look so it appears these are tied for speed I really thought I hit over 60 with it. I will be redoing the speed when I compare I couldnt keep the dang thing straight to save my life lol. Had I not bound the remote the stability would have been on that would have helped now with the servo saver it should do ok. Yup I messed that up lol thanks for the correction
Actually, I have to retract what I said about the Maxx Slash being much faster. 57 is the fastest I have seen one of these go. I only got 52. Maybe because the one I had was a mess out of the box. For some reason the Mojave runs hotter than the Kraton and Big Rock.
I liked the Mojave so much I now have 4. Two highly modified, and two stock. More friends ask to drive my Mojave more than any of my other RC cars no matter the scale. Truly hope you get as much fun from yours as I do mine.
I am enjoying mine a lot thanks the scortched rc fenders are amazing for keeping dirt out
Yep it’s a beast & the stock electronics do get hot I’ve managed to break 2 esc’s so far but the motor has had no issues at all also my servo was garbage but those are kinda minor grips I love the durability & how much power it has. They also tend to blow out wheel bearings.
Pine needles and tiny cooling fans a match made in heaven. Mesh chassis covers bro. We don't have pine trees here I still like a mesh cover now on my off road bashers.
@NYangryguy fender covers by scorched rc bro I have a video how good it works that mesh cover wont be stopping mud and water
Your review of the Mojave got me to go out and purchase one in fact! I did find that binding the Dx5c remote with a spektrum receiver greatly improves both the throttle control and the range of the Maxx/slash. I constantly have issues with the tqi in every traxxas that I have ever owned. The range is terrible despite it being the same 2.4 GHZ. The dx5c gives you the extra functionality that allows you to better monkey with the trims, travel, speed/throttle etc. There is basicslly no monkeyability with the TQI setup which severely limits the Maxx/slash from reaching it's true capabilities.
There is a definite lag with the Traxxas I always figured it was the esc not the transmitter that is interesting. Hope your enjoying the Mojave as much as I am thank you for watching and the comment
Gyro for sure would make a big difference.. then it's there when you want it and turn it off when you dont.. adding a gyro is why I went dumbo rc.. the receiver with gyro is like $10 way cheaper than spektrum or traxxas.. the dumbo rc transmitter and receiver with gyro is like $40 which is cheaper than just the receiver of the other brands.. no brainer to me.. great video man. Appreciate all the hard work.
Thank you very much. I have a dumbo too its a good setup I use my dx5c with Spektrum stuff that way I get the telemetry so for me its worth the extra for the info but anything else gets the dumbo I just got the digital colored screen version wow its nice
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife nice!.. makes sense.. I use my dx5c on most of my spektrum stuff as well.. just started to get burnt out on the price of smart batteries etc.. especially now with everything coming with spektrum electronics.. it's harder to keep up.. but the telemetry is nice
I love my Mojave 6S. Probably my favorite. I think the 4S Mojave is a little better, but the 6S just has so much more "badass factor" that makes it so awesome. If you keep the 6S close to the ground, it's ol' reliable.
Thank you for watching and the comment that is what I got it for ground running. Sure it can handle jumps sure doesn't sound happy lol. That's why I have Kratons and an Outcast if I want to catch air. It is wild I am glad I got it
@L2theWcarscoffeelife Yeah for sure. It cam jump, but there's better out there for jumping. Thing is an absolute blast on some dirt lots
Thanks for the video, it was motivating. I’m planning to purchase a Mojave 6s soon. I intend to run stock until some parts require repair or upgrading. Probably will buy the scorched fenders right away though. What gyro would you recommend for the stock setup, and would that then be compatible with a future update to a dx5c, for example? Haven’t owned an RC since my Tyco Turbo Blaster in 1992.
Wow just like a lot of us getting back in after a long break. I used the spektrum reciever I tbink its 1165 I dont recall lol its the cheapest one with a gyro and its in my Amazon store.and it works with the dx5 its what I use that transmitter as well. Good call I think just enjoy it you already pay good money and they are solid really no need to throw parts on unless you keep having problems I need to get the fenders too that will help a lot. Thank you for watching and the comment
Awesome, thank you for the fast response!
@Berserkjahraun absolutely cant always respond fast but I always will its viewers that make the channel happen if you cant answer as a small channel then something is wrong
I like the trophy truck/short course truck style and I am thinking of getting one when I am less broke haha
I made a mistake
Mark from Parkflyers rc made a comment about you. I originally said PARKLANE. APOLOGIES.
No worries thanks for the update
I watched that horrible video watch when he drives it how hard the front end bounces and look at how high it sits he modified it that is not stock!! Then he says you need to set end points and take out steering what a load of b.s. I changed out the servo saver kept full steering and it works fine once I added shock extenders to the front because why put the right shocks on it or proper springs it handled way better he keeps saying its 4s thats a load of crap it was built for 6s with their b.s. marketing of 70 mph it cant do not stock he is clearly trying to do damage control so he can sell them. I appreciate the tip its a shame he did not have the courage to tag me if he was going to talk crap then say all youtubers are dishonest he is pos in my opinion car should come ready to go out of the box no excuses this is not a 100 dollar WL toys car its 700 more money than the Mojave it should out perform it. My comparison video is coming
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife I agree. I did like it at first but then the esc blew and I had to spend nearly $100 on shipping costs to send it back to Traxxas to get it replaced. I had a new Sledge last year which I have since gotten rid of that had the exact same blown esc issue. Once I got it back, I order a clear body and painted it to make it more scale. The body looks great but as I drove it more it started to get on my nerves. The debris buildup is unreal and the throttle is just not smooth however once I bound the Dx5c to it things have gotten better. You getting the Mojave wet my appetite to purchase a new one, so I did. I had one in the past but had forgotten what a phenomonal truck it is. For some reason I thought the Mojave was significantly slower than the Maxx/Slash but that is not the case. I made a mistake. Driving them back to back, the Mojave blows the doors off this. No ifs ands or buts and it drives how the maxx/slash should drive. Not having a power off button is completely cheap on Traxxas part as well. Its as if they purposely developed a cheap 6s esc mainly because they know so many people replace them however they still did not adjust the price. The truck does drive better with the 4s system in it but again, they market it as s 6s system. I do like Traxxas 4s system which behaves like I had hoped their 6s system would but it is not the case. They definitely need to improve many things on this but my main gripe is how the esc with this motor delivers power. It lacks the sophistication of it's competitor's and needs to be overhauled asap. I demand that a $700 rc offer an esc and motor thar work more cohesively together to deliver a smoother throttle response such that competitors offer. I drive my rc's to where I eventually let them rip so during that trip I want the vechile to drive in a smooth manner and this one just does not although the dx5c does help. Having to use a different Remote and receiver is a whole other story. The tqi is flat out terrible. It loses connection after 150-200 ft which is another annoyance.
Traxxas had a problem with some of the Xmaxx rc's catching fire so now they disable the off button, its very aggravating sometimes you need to turn it on and off several times not yank on the wires. I have not had any esc issues luckily I do find it odd the Sledge feels so much stronger than the maxx slash my Slege will back flip under full power while still moving and I have not touched the center diff. The Moave is so much smoother the power comes on stronger the suspension is what I expect it to be for this kind of rc The Traxxas is just so limited its pathetic they released it and didnt take the time to dial it in
Great review 👍👍
Thank you very much
I am huge fans of the Kraton exb and 6s Big Rock as well as the Talion exb. All 3 are my favorite rc's of all time. That said, was not a fan of the Mojave. Maybe because of the horrible workmanship right out of the box. Bolts loose, no fluid in the diffs and a faulty esc which the update did not fully fix. The one I had ran sluggish and overheated in 30 degree weather. Horizon was no help. It annoyed me so much that I traded it for the new Kraton exb which had none of those issues. I find the Maxx Slash to be much better. The Spektrum esc's do offer a smoother driving experience in terms of throttle control, but the Maxx Slash is faster and does offer better throttle control on 4s. To each their own though.
