Mojave Need a little guidance....

[Esk8erfpvrc]

While installing a front shock tower in my Mojave 6s BLX, I found a crack on a part. Does anyone know if the part i need is the one in the photos? In the exploded view, it has a part number but when i go to the parts and put in the part numberand hit search, the part number that come up has 4 pcs.
Is it the one that comes with 4 parts the one i need to purchase? Any help very much appreciated.

You need the upper hinge pin mount, make it alloy this time as those composite ones are a failure mode.

ARA330659 is the EXB upgrade

The part that you have circled is not the right part, rather it is one of 4 pieces that are bundled together for that part number of Ar330379.

This is what you need to buy, but if you look at the picture, the part that's broken is the second from top.

I second the EXB B2 hinge pin retainer. They use different hinge pins than the BLX so you'll need to get them as well.
I don't recommend the aftermarket ones where the hinge pin screws in, they come apart as you drive. The EXB hinge pins use a groove and set screw to stay in place so if they spin they don't unscrew. M2C also makes an EXB style B2 retainer.

yes thank you. You’re right, but the aluminum EXB is just the single one that i need is a lot stronger. the pins get held down with the lock screw.

 

[Rocketzx1]

Absolutely.

I just wanted to make sure you were looking at the right part on the exploded view.

Does anyone know if this gear box will fit on the Mojave 6s? Since i already installed a few EXB parts, i'm just going to go all the way EXB. When i checked on Arrma website and Horizon website it says compatabilty is for Kraton EXB. Its cheaper to buy on Amazon and i will get it faster cause of prime.

That’s a money grab, a few dabs of loctite on the threads and it’ll never back out. Weak wristers with cheap tools have that problem…

All 6S Arrma uses the same bulkhead.

You're right, money grabber, they do make good parts but expensive. I did put some blue loctite in them and i let it dry over night. Thank you.

Part # M2C3658. It's a B2 hinge pin retainer, it's only compatible with EXB upper hinge pins. Not compatible with threaded upper hinge pins.

These are being held on with the threaded cap screws.

I know that, this is what i'm asking about. This silver part.

That's a band-aid to cover up a problem that doesn't exist. Thread lock your set screws and your hinge pins will stay put.
