Mojave my 1st ARRMA Rebuild.

[Roc_the_Basher]

Here we go! Outside of getting my rear fireteam shocks (tomorrow hopefully) from Jenny's RC, the #5 Amsoil F150/Mojave is finished. As it was my first owned Arrma, I learned a lot. Including the stock setup, she's had 4 sets of tires, 4 motors, and 3 different ESCs. We ain't gone get into all that outside of, I shoulda purchased a combo from the start. It went from something I tinkered with to on of my 2 go to RCs. It wasn't until adding the 3.8 tires did it truly wake up.

Here's the finished setup.
Castle MM8S esc, Castle 1717 1650kv motor/ 21/50 gearing, EXB diffs, Hot racing gearbox & motor mount, fast Eddie bearings, M2C Carbon shock towers, Fireteam shocks Front and rear, Basherqueen Carbon center brace/mounts, CF steering deck & Ackerman arm and last but not least Jetko Tomahawk 3.8 low profile tires

I don't know if you know or not but the springs are super stiff on the fireteam shocks so it may be worth playing with different ones on them if you find it rough.

Thanks! Just seemed like more power and less weight made sense lol

100% the plan. I have FT shocks up front and swapped rears off my bro's to the back of mine so I was able to test before purchasing. I'll be able to run the shocks with 0 preload and have the ride and height I want. I've tried so many shock and spring setups already and I think I found the one.

The FT shocks with m2c internals and bladderless caps are super plush on kratons and notos for sure.

Bladderless caps sound worth looking into!

Arrma has some now too with the new exb but they are on backorder. I ordered the shock caps/pistons out of the new ebs exb and the fronts are tlr pistons.
