It's cool looking but at the end of the day I was never moved to buy a 6s Senton so I doubt I'll be moved to buy a larger version of it.

Said the man who thought road cars weren't any good... then goes and buys an Infraction...???? ?

I'm all fairness that was different. I had never seen anything like the Infraction before. This Mojave I've seen 1000 times. It's a scaled up Senton. It will be a hard pass for me. I'd be more inclined to buy a Super Baja Rey.

Can't believe they went and put that same crap radio on this 1/7 scale bahemoth!!

Seriously, someone is going to get hurt.

Looks like Arrma beefed up the shock rod ends considerably and revised the spring perches to offer more spring preload. If the rod ends and perches fit into the older 6s arms it should help suspension sag from adding weight with all the aluminum upgrades/aftermarket chassis. Hopefully it's not enough additional height in the perch to cause any coil bind issues


Edit: just found this...

Nice attention to detail. The fire extinguisher in the back reads, "Why Are You Reading This Just Send It" ?

That was my post (Gator RC) from last night. When he responded “noted” I hoped and thought for sure that they would change the radio finally. But it sounds like the same radio is going in which is real bummer. Really liked the Mojave. Only short course I have is a slash that I got free from Monster Awards. And had to put $250 just to get it where I wanted to actually drive it. But I really don’t want to have to buy another Transmitter/receiver for it before I even get to drive it.

Wow. Was that 4s? Looks slow and heavy, and jumps like a SCT. Lots of steering correction going on too, I am guessing that is the wonderful STX2 lag doing its thing...

Wondering if the new arms would be a better solution for truggifying a Typhon, so instead of changing the axles and hubs you'de change the arms and driveshafts. it will add 15mm compared to 11mm added by the axles solution. but it depends on whether the shock mounts are on the same spot or not.

Oh that's a good catch. My first question about this thing was what would be interchangeable with the typhon. We'll have to wait for someone to be the guinea pig and see I guess.

I am somewhat wondering why they didn't try to put something with a solid rear axle out like the Traxxas and Losi trucks. This seems like a direct competitor and I always assumed the solid rear axle was the draw for most people since it is for me. Regardless I am sure it'll be a lot of fun to drive.

You might do this with the wide mod, but you will still need the wide mod. The 2.8 MX Tires that are normally run on the Typhon truggy conversion won't clear the steering knuckles without the wider hexes.

Talk about terrible music choices....

Went to my LHS today. He pre-ordered 4. He also has 1 Limitless and 1 Infraction left until next shipment.

Je ne peux pas croire qu'ils sont allés mettre cette même radio de merde sur ce bahemoth à l'échelle 1/7 !!

Sérieusement, quelqu'un va être blessé.

I think I like the silver optional Body and gray wheels the best

The new arms look very impressive and the silver, blue and red body is my favorite by far. Too bad it's not offered with the truck. $120 if we want one painted and stickered but will still have to buy the $22 roll cage and $10 roof trim package (where's the gunmetal?)
And $80 for a clear body with decal sheet. Nice that they may stock a clear body this soon (pending.) At least they show one.

I'd be more inclined to buy sooner if they offered this body with gunmetal color trim, roll cage and wheels from the box.

Bad... stock / free for all / house fusion. ?

Part numbers for the gun metal are at the top right

A clear body in desert camo would look good too

Looks like I'll be burning my 3rd STX2 soon ?

Ahh. Nice eye. I didn't see em on the site but glad it looks like we can get it. ?

 

[Motosickness]

I see parts, more parts ,to make more different versions with the parts I already have. Hmm, arms, chassis plate ,body, wheels, different sizes, I just bought hoons for my senton street setup, now i need this wheel tire combo also. I like the grey body best tooo, that whole setup would temp me to buy a one, but seeing how its only avail separate, I prob will buy just the bare min parts to play with and see what I can make work. Im still hopeing for a 8s monster for Xmas for me. Pleeeeeaassse ARRMA?
