Mojave Mojave 6S - New 2023 “Stealth” Update: Spektrum V2

[CosmoM3]

I picked up a new Mojave 6S BLX RTR today from my LHS and noticed that it had the new “V2” Spektrum electronics package for the 6S, which is similar to the ”V2” Spektrum electronics you would find in the new Kraton/Outcast 8S EXB RTR models.

In the audiophile world, these unannounced updates (yet significant) are referred as “stealth” updates.

The motor mount screws are aftermarket as the stock ones are the same screws that we all hate.

Any noticable markings on the exterior of box to hint at the v2?

I wouldn't be the right person to ask haha.

Able to post some box photos? Maybe someone else with an older box can do a quick back n forth

More photos…

Even the specs still say “S652” for the servo. Lazy marketing.

So I wonder if that could be considered the Mojave 6S V2.5??

SN...thanks Arrma for finally using a 25T spline I would be interested in retrofitting someone of my other 6S cars with that new servo.

Old box! Pretty cool nuntheless!

Hey that motor heatsink has now more than 4 holes. Might beable to run double 30mm fans but why not put holes on the other edge?

The 6s Mojave was going to be my next rig. I may wait a while to ensure I get one of these instead of the old style.

That is what I said. 25 spl now.... finally?? It's a celebration for sure
I guess HH/Spektrum realized they couldn't get the rest of the world to embrace their 23 Spl servos.
25 Spline ( an OG Futaba spec) is better because you have more degrees of Arm/horn orientation. A world standard for some while by now, with standard size servos.
Arrma's non Spektrum servo equipped models were all 25 spline anyway.

hope them electronics are better than the old ones they look same to me just a different colour

 

[SrC]

Same thing, different Color and F/W that's it. They could have left the Color alone and just updated the Firmware, just that Spektrum's Marketting Dept. dictated the New Color. They will sell more now. Because it is "Supposedly" Newer and Better.
And Who doesn't want newer and better??? Even if it only appears that way.
