Fireteam BigDaddy inspired Monster Mojave fireteam

[Joshua.clark]

I saw BigDaddy post pics of his fireteam with the red Mojave body and instantly had to do the same. Looks awesome.

I’m awaiting the Mojave body post and bumpers but I used some long body post I had laying around the shop to get me by. The body does require some trimming with the larger fireteam wheels. I’m currently running the Kraton 6s tires. Only other upgrades are Kraton hubs. Bought the fireteam used for $300 right before the Christmas sale ($399) hit . Still saved $100 I guess. Truck was in great condition so I feel I made out pretty good. The Mojave body I got from ebay also used. Didn’t need a new one for now I will destroy it I will be shoe goo’ing this body tonight.

I don't really know why, or why I find them so good looking, but short course trucks on big wheels just look "right".

Right?

I've tried some diffrent monster Mojave setups..they are awsome an with back-flips there's not much they can't go through or over...I

Agreed sir

No doubt. The pics I posted don’t do justice to the size of this thing still the fireteam but with the Mojave body it looks massive. Hard to really gauge it cause I sold my xmaxx a year or 2 back. Not xmaxx size but still pretty damn big

I think I have those same tires from the last picture on the glass table. Bought them for my Kraton off Amazon pretty cheap. Honestly, they’re pretty damn nice for what they cost. I haven’t had any issue running Kraton on 6s with them on.

NICE JOB-Joshua.clark!! Looks good! . Same with K-Bash. Yes-its a big body and makes the truck look twice as big and meaner! The Mojave body will last a lot longer then the Fireteam panels too. I still have the handbrake installed and use it alot with high-speed turns/power slides in loose stuff.
Joshua.clark-Did you install Kraton axles along with the Kraton hubs?? I heard the Fireteam axles are not long enough when using the Kraton Hubs.

First picture look really good, so with Mojave body and some cutting for the tires it will fit the fireteam like first picture?

Preciate it. Yea you gotta do the Kraton axles. I found that out the hard way. Was pretty disappointed when I put that first one together I knew the axle looked different but it’s whatever. It definitely adds a little more width which is awesome. And man hell yeah this fireteam looks mean like this. It’s the first time I’ve really seen a Mojave body. Local shops never have any on display. The body is massive you can’t tell seeing it in videos. Same with my fireteam now. Those pics I posted don’t do it justice in regards to how massive it is.

First picture look really good, so with Mojave body and some cutting for the tires it will fit the fireteam like first picture?

Yes sir! I’ve got it mounted with some long body posts for now but ordered some Mojave mounts etc. Also, my truck has the Kraton hubs/axles installed so it’s a little wider than stock. I trimmed as little as possible just enough to make sure it had plenty of clearance on full lock with bigger tires. This are Kraton 6s tires which are pretty good sized

NICE!! Yea, it's a heavy truck for bashing and you feel and hear this thing hitting the ground on big jumps .
I`ve used Hub extender's on all 4 hubs, they are 13mm longer which help with steering and tire rub. So far they have worked good with no signs of stress on the stock hubs. Might change to Kraton hubs and axles if I start seeing wear/cracks in the stock hubs. Also looking into new tires for it, something with more meat/knobs. The Arrma Copperheads work good on this but would like to try something with a little more bite. I don't care for the stock Fireteam tires, no bite and too narrow.
