Mojave New New!! 😬😍

[MambaSenton]

Traded one of my K6s in last week for a Mojave EXB!!!!. Loved my senton so much, and finally feel it’s dialed to my liking so moving on to a bigger version

This is going to be a very slow build as I’m in no rush to get it going, plan on completing this over the winter months and brining out in spring. Will mostly be run in sand(paddles on back) and dirt/clay fields.

Mod list:

Electronics,
-Castle MMX8S
-Castle B-link
-TP 4070
-ProModeler DS505
-Gcrc fans
-Futaba 3pv

Diff,
Front-30K
Center open-500k
Rear-15k

-80wt shock oil
-Scorched wells


Done my fair share of research here while reading some of yalls build threads etc, any advice is highly appreciated!

Will update with pics as parts trickle in

I would recommend the DS630BLHV, it is an amazing servo for the Mojave.

Thank you for the suggestion!, i seen a few ppl liked that one. I just thought it may be overkill for the Mojave since the tires are on the smaller side?

You are going to love it! Tough as nails.

My next truck for sure! The M2C extended hexes I've heard are a good upgrade/wheel stripping preventative.

I get that, and I might be the anomaly, but I wanted to feel confident that the servo was better than it needed to be vs slightly less. I’m also running billet wheels and hyrax tires, so there’s additional rotating mass. I have a 3s battery for the fans and servo at 8.4v along with a separate Castle bec. The lowest I would have gone was the DS555 on the stock setup without wondering if I was going to burn up the esc.

@JuanOrez thank you! Looking forward to ripping it!

@Raginbull74 thanks for the heads up, will add to list!


@deltawhiskey64068 ahh I see that sounds sweeeeet! I get where you are coming from with the over head, more than less always!. Have any pics of the set up?

None yet with the servo installed, but I’ll be back home next week and take a few.

Everyone seems to recommend

I would also recommend the Vitavon steering knuckles. That was my first upgrade and they have served me well on my Mojave, Talion and Notorious. Other than that, DAMN does that look like a nice rig. Have fun!!

 

[MambaSenton]

@quiksilver appreciate it! Will look into those for sure thank you!

Nice truck, love the Mojave. The Mojave, the Talion, and now the Losi LMT are my favorite RCs.
