Mojave Mojave priority upgrades advise needed (Fresh meat)

[Combo]

Hey all,

1. Just bought my first rc car.. (40yrs)
2. Its a Mojave.. ?
3. Pls feel free to post your advise..

So,
I would like to give her attention and make some upgrades befor i run it..
Am i going to far with this?

1) Should i wait with that and first buy a decent remote or any other upgrade? ( so far i've ordered T-Bone bumper and mud guards)..
2) What about Chassis Bracers?
Servo& Servo mount?
Aluminium hubs?
And the other high end upgrades..

Since i bought the car+batteries+charger... so i need now to consider how i use my funds...

Thx all...?

I would upgrade the chassis braces to M2C Units. T-Bone Bumpers come recommended as well. As for Servo - I have a Savox 1270TG in mine and it's great. Stock mount, though.

Don't use stainless steel bolts they are too soft and Ti are too expensive for what they are..
Get a bag of original screws from Jenny's..? I run that exact Akerman in all my trucks..??
For the Mojave I would say get the M2C braces as mentioned above as a number one upgrade..!!
I think it all depends on what you want to do with it, servo I think will be fine for now as it's only turning smaller tyres.
My personal opinion would be get another radio ASAP..!! Go with a Futaba or Spektrum DX5c / Rugged..?

Contact @Badtouch The basher for all your M2C needs if your in the UK..??

@vpr5793 hit the most important ones, I would probably add sealed bearings to the right away list.

That video will help with immediate upgrades, the rest are mainly user based decisions.

Get the M2C chassis braces first. You don't need the steering plate unless you bend the stock one. Hold off on everything else, including the servo. A faster servo is only going to make it roll more than it does.

Just about to get one of these myself.

Have read the stock radio is not much good. What is the best/cheapest upgrade option?

Is there a sealed bearing "Kit" that you can get for these or do I have to buy individual bearings?

Jim's Bearings has a stainless steel sealed bearing kit for the Mojave. Bought it myself, but haven't had the chance to install them, yet.

I bought the Plaig Bearings kit specifically for the 6S Mojave. Aussie company and the bearings are used by many RC racers. I bought from their eBay listing....I’ll find the link. Otherwise just go to the Plaig Bearings site.
