Mojave Need advice for street vehicle.

[Doom!]

Winter is coming and the thought of cleaning mud out of my Mojave is quite unappealing. (What can I say, I'm kind of lazy when it comes to cleaning.) This has made me consider an on road vehicle for parking lots etc. During the winter months.

I have been considering my choices, the Felony and Infraction both look like sweet rides, but would I be better off setting up a Typhon 6s for street use until I get a little road experience under my belt?

I know we have favorites, but I'd hate to buy something I wasn't ready to handle yet. My Mojave is my first ground vehicle, and I have given it a good work out, but Mario Andretti I am not.

The Typhon is the most versatile! But if you specifically want a true road car there's still the other 3 great choices ? it didn't take me long to get used to a Felony. Considering their speed and power they are actually pretty easy to control

Just get the Felony or Infraction, you can run it on 4s or dial the power down on the radio. I tell everyone to go this route because this way they can grow into it with more experience when 4s gets boring.

Just as an FYI you could get Infraction/Felony/Limitless towers and shocks plus a set of GRP tires and have almost the same thing...
This would save you about 600.00

I was amazed with these. My son was bashing in the parking lot ( all grass ) at the flying field for several batteries in both my Mojave and Outcast. The Outcast was full of grass to the point where it shut down on temp. The Mojave didn't even need compressed air to clean out the grass clippings. Absolutely I will use my Mojave in our salt sand and snow filled parking lots ( the road our front ) this winter. A little WD40 and some compressed air should keep it nice.

Just do this.

As long as you have a receiver with AVC, the Typhon makes a great parking lot basher. With a little modification, Kraton chassis, rear brace and rear drive shaft, plus Kraton hubs at all four corners, the buggy becomes a street warrior

2.8 road tires look good on there. You’d need m2c hexes run then unless they have a deep offset. You can do proline 6x30 17mm adapters on their wheels/tires if you can ever find them in stock.

I have the EM Performance 1/5 adapter for my EXB to run the 1/5 GRPs. Very nice product.

Thanks for all the info guys. I ended up getting a Typhon and some Hoons for now. Felony and Infraction are back ordered and I wanted to get used to street bashing before my offroad playground gets muddy for the season.

The Mojave is a great street basher once you get it setup for it, I made a post about mine here..

Looks very stupid at the moment, time to drop it, maybe gear it up a bit as well
