Mojave My Arrma Mojave EXB build

[WoodiE]

So I was most recently very humbled in receiving an Arrma Mojave EXB. Sparing everyone the emotional story (thanks again... you know who you are!) I wanted to share this build with everyone, a build that will certainly stay with me forever.

Model: Arrma Mojave EXB

Motor: Hobbywing EZRUN 4985 (1650kv)
ESC: Hobbywing EZRUN Max6
Battery: Powerhobby 6S 5200mAh 50C LiPo
Servo: JX CLS-HV332MG
Servo Horn: Axial 25T AX30836
Receiver: Futaba R304SB-E
Transmitter: Futaba 4PM

At the moment I'm awaiting the delivery man to drop off the LiPo battery and Futaba 4PM - then I can see what this bad boy is capable of doing.

Got the 4985 brushless motor installed. The wires are a bit tighter than I'd prefer, but this motor is HUGE and the ESC can't be mounted any closer than it is now. So it is what it is.

Motor, ESC, and servo are all mounted up. Need to solder on the EC5 connector on the ESC and then do some cable management into the radio box.

Looks good! That’s my favorite motor/esc combo!

Nice. The Mojave exb is on my short list for my next truck. Still cant decide between the O8S or Mojave.

100% BOTH (I like the O8s more but that might be because of the terrain I like to drive on)

Looking sweet , M2C esc mount would give those wires a little room.

Looks great sir.

Dremel the lip off the esc plate and it will move the esc back more.

Are your front mudguards big enough? I'll admit I kinda like em more than the scorched RC offering. Does it keep everything pretty clean?

That Mojave is going to rip Woodie! Nice components!

Along with a Dusty Motors cover works for me.

@Cheez what is the second layer of velcro for? The one behind/above the stock side guards?

Did you make your own front shield guards?

I am not @Cheez but I would guess it is something with keeping the edge of the body in place.

Looks like the Velcro was for an old dusty motors cover maybe..

I think you might be right. Looking closer I see there is velcro inside of the chassis as well.

@#ARRMArcfanboy4life - I wouldn't think it's for the body as the body doesn't get that close to the chassis... only as close as the side guards.
