Mojave AJ’s Mojave EXB

[.AJ.]

Had this beasty turn up this morning



Combo arrives tomorrow, the HW Max6 1650kv, I still need to decide on a servo, but I can’t buy one for a week or so, so plenty of time to work that one out ?

The USA is sitting in backorder land. Not a fun place to be. I'm drinking whiskey every night and hitting F5 on the tracking page like I'm trying to buy a PS5.

 

[elschizo]

Also none (neither Kraton EXB nor Mojave EXB) came to Austria yet!

 

[.AJ.]

Combo arrived!

Combo fitted



And I’ve gone on a bit of a spending spree at Badtouch and Scorched ?

 

[digitaldude80]

Nice! What pinion did you install, the included 16t?

Considering any cooling for the motor?

 

[.AJ.]

I’ve got a 22t pinion on it, Im not a fan of motor fans or massive heat sinks, I would rather gear it correctly in the first place ?

 

[digitaldude80]

I have the 20t pinion with Yeahracing fans... First session was ok on beach with loose sand.
I might consider the 22t for next bash sesion....

What made you select the 22t? Upcoming winter temperatures?

 

[.AJ.]

It’s what I’ve been recommend by another Mojave user with the same combo ?

Ok, since you're in the UK and in the Netherlands we have about the same ambient temperature, I'm going to try that too
??

My excel sheet says that results in a theoretical top speed of 98km/h (61mph)

??

 

[.AJ.]

In the real world I reckon it’s good for about 55mph, which is plenty ?

 

[digitaldude80]

Yes indeed it is!!

 

[.AJ.]

Savox Monster fitted along with Scorched centre shafts and a carbon t2t brace



I also rebuilt the shocks with 800cst and Protek grease on the o-rings, upped the diff oils to F - 50k, R - 20k... I’ve still got the centre (200k) to do when the PPS motor mount I’ve ordered from Badtouch arrives ?

 

[.AJ.]

I’ve just ordered the Scorched Parts inner fenders and rear axle guards, so the truck should be ready for a run next weekend

Cant wait ?

 

[.AJ.]

Fenders and arm guards arrived, I also picked up a set of Vitavon hubs from Mr Oily Diffs, he sorted me killer deal ?



Bad news though, looks like Royalfail have lost the PPS parts I’ve ordered.....

I consistently clock my RTR Moj. at 53mph using only stock electrics, 35kg servo 2050kv/blx185/16T pinion. (6S)
And she's a tad heavier with all the M2C stuff and Scorched RC wheel wells. (Stays super clean inside now) And my fans don't get destroyed from debris.
I feel one speed limiting factor is the drag created from the open windshield. (is none) I am going to add a Lexan windshield (leaving the sides open) and I can almost guaranty keeping the nose down over 50mph. Then I'll change to a 20T pin. That drag is what keeps speed down. The rear roof vents cant expel air fast enough IMO. Also, the wells do a good job of prevent parachuting IMO. Seals off air from the underbody. That helps also. I have vids of before and after. Mojave has alot of potential. Trial and error. Mojave is one tough rig. The EXB is at the next level. My RTR diffs are 70kfr, 200kctr, 20k rr. Perfect now. I tried a set of DTX zero offset Truggy X-cons and they fit mint. No body adjustments needed. The scorched RC wells actually flair out the body fenders several mm's and the fit is perfect No interference. And Nice bite in dirt and grass. A bit taller, so you get a bit more top end out of them.
BTW, I felt no need to use an alu. servo mount. I used (8)12.9 longer fasteners with the stock mount and used servo mount flanged washers. No servo mount flex at all. Running a Noble NB4, Non gyro'ed.

Nice, looks like your Mojave is a pretty sorted beast now ?
