Thank you bro. Been working on this for a month now and I'm quite happy with the outcome if i may say so myself.Holy smokes!! Dude!! Plz make/send me those panels and I’ll make you windows n wind shield!! That’s sexy af and yes it appears to still be 100% Mojave!! Work of art my friend. Well done.

I'd love to help you out, but I'm way out here in Asia, the Philippines.
I can tell you that I used 2mm abs plastic sheets, which i cut to size and molded to form via heat gun. I did my mockups using thin cardboard first. I did it in small sections (much easier) held together by industrial/super glue and strengthened with 3 or 4mm screws.
I can send you detailed close up pictures of the panels if that would help.
I also lowered the body posts, adjusted the droop and limited the shocks travel to achieve a lowered stance.
For the rear wing support, I used 5mm thick abs plastic sheet. Took some doing, harder to bend with heat, but i got there. A bit challenging to do the bend angles, so you gotta work fast when bending the abs.

More details, front skid plate panels
Rear skid plate panels up close. I'll will be cutting the excess plastics folded in front of the rear lower arms. Or maybe just remove the white one.
Also notice the added foam to the front bumper to absorb hits. And also the longer and thicker (4mm) rubber skirt behind the bumper, added to reduce air flow under the car.

Thank you. Still running the stock spectrum 150a esc and 4074 2050kv. But I'm planning on getting a 4092, 1650kv or 4282 2600kv motor. Built this from street bashing and speed runs.
Also have the arms, shocks and wheels which i can easily swap to do offroad runs.
The bronze wheels with harder tires are for speed runs. The black bigfoots softer ones for street bashing (they skid a bit more).

Looking good. Purpose built for speed. Ate those boards carbon fiber?

Yes carbon fiber boards I’m in the process of making rear shocks tower to change the shock angle

I also made one, it helps a lot. The Mojave is not very aerodynamic

Very nice. You got a lot of room there for a bigger power setup.
Did some mods to my rear wing to reinforce it and hopefully to generate more downforce. Used 2mm abs panel folded with heat gun. I think it also looks better.
