Mojave Does debris get stuck in chassis easily?

[collinelim]

Will be picking up a Mojave soon. Does the chassis get a lot of loose gravel, grass and dirt stuck in it? Already have a V4 Notorious and I consider the debris stuck to be very minimal.

 

[Gabe8501]

YES

Yes is a understatement lol

Yes it does. I just pick mine up and shake it every few minutes.

 

[Gabe8501]

Yes is a understatement lol

What I do now is just throw a handful of whatever surface I'll be running on in the chassis before my first pass... you know... just get it over with

Definitely will be getting a dust cover. Any chance you could link which one you have?

 

[3x9rtse]

This is actually left over from my 2wd Slash , made it to fit . They make them now directly for the Mojave .

Just be careful it holds the heat good

Dusty Motors

Agree the TBone mud guards were pretty useless in my tests the Dusty Motors works fine for me as well

I just ordered a Dusty cover. I couldn’t find one here in the USA, so it’s coming from Lithuania. I have no clue how long that shipping will take.....lol

I heard that these covers can catch on fire. I'm pretty sure it was @SrC who had one go up in flames.

In a prior post I did say that one of my DM covers torched from electrical sparks. It was a rapid burn. The mesh cover burned completely in seconds. All that remained was the Zipper and Velcro at the chassis. It left a mess of my chassis to say the least. I have a few covers left. I don't use them anymore. They did keep dirt/debris out of the chassis, but still collects on top of it. It also contributes to much more heat at the motor and ESC. In cold ambient temps. that may not be much of an issue.
This is not urban myth. Yet, I see no one else has had this happen. I searched all over the web. The material must a be nylon based textile. It appears as such.
I emailed DMC directly months ago, they never responded. I had asked what material was used and suggested that it should be changed due to liability issues. In a closed wheel bodied rig, the concept of a cover can serve a purpose. If using one, be careful. The components on a rig are not flammable in general. ESC's and Lipos have been known to burn up.(rare) But been there.
Adding this cover changes the dynamic and increases the risk of fire. Be aware of the potential.

I didn’t see the universal XXXL size needed. Unless I’m missing it?

 

[SrC]

Yes, If you need the XXXL (17") cover, then overseas direct is your best bet. Overseas distribution is at a standstill at present for vendors. T-Bone had them for a while and are sold out.
But, for the record. I do not recommend this cover or any cover and especially because this brand's a fire risk.
They are way overpriced for what you get. I stated other reasons above. But experience for yourself. I guess you have to own one to get the idea.
Good luck.
