Mojave Project "Sunburn" Mojave Bodied Speed Build

[Dscracing1320]

What I love about building rigs especially Arrmas are the wide variety of interchangeable parts. I've gotten the speed bug recently and one thing that's always impressed me was a fast mojave body. I say body because it's the part that impresses me not necessarily the parts attached to the build. Even the "fast mojave" guys aren't using mojave gears but Insist their builds are all mojave arms n chassis but the great thing about these cars are you can do whatever makes you happy. And I'm not going after any record of recognition for a particular platform.

Things I do know I'm using are senton 6s carbon towers and shocks, grp 1/5 tires and my own custom wide body flared Mojave Body xlx2 and either a 1100kv or the 1721 2400kv perfect pass lanch control and driveshafts. I'll post progress along the way...

Still not set on a chassis yet, carbon , gt, mojave or infraction..

Very cool.

Got the senton 6s body mounts fitted up and adjusted.

Went ahead and rebuilt the shocks for speed duty Also.

Have to say the flared arched flares are working out amazingly.

 

[Dscracing1320]

Raised the front. Now to figure out a permanent lip. Or at least a v1 lip

 

[Dscracing1320]

Okay got a mock up lip finished. Just need a piece of carbon or plastic 14" wide to make the permanent lower lip. Then v1 front will be ready.

Looking good.
I’m not a speedrunner, but I made my own front windshield. Helps a lot to keep the Mojave down.

Yeah I will definitely make one before I'm done.

 

[Dscracing1320]

Went ahead and installed the rear diffuser.

Some Carbon pieces have arrived

Awesome build, senton 6s suspension an grps will tuck in nicely

Not senton suspension. Just towers. I flared the body

 

[K-BASH]

Ya can still get senton 6s suspension, the narrowest of them all.works great for Mojave with 1/5 grps

Yes I know, I have other senton arm builds. That's not the plan on this project, I wanted to flare the body. Like something I'd do on one of my 1:1 cars, 240sx, GTR, Supra. I also like the extra width and Titanium axles.

 

[Dscracing1320]

Got the new carbon chassis mocked up. I'll need to do a lot of cutting and need to move the diff back a inch to fit the v2 spool and driveshafts. Deanodized the hinge pin blocks and the servo saver while I had it apart. Also installed the carbon towers, top plate and rack.

Note: The big block 1200kv 5787 looks like a baby on the Gt chassis.

Was kind of looking for a thread about a low / speed Mojave.

I build a low Mojave. Just fried the middle differential. Oil was 200k as far as I remember. Differential came apart. Got the metal case here but I am wondering what oil to put in. My top speed is 105km/h. Don't have the interior inside the body. Actually liftet the Mojave off at not that high speed but wind gust from the front did it. Body acted like a parachute and landed perfectly. Was over one meter high off the ground. Looked weird an funny. So I need to fit a windscreen I guess in order to go faster. Mine handles like a mix between Infraction and Mojave.

First time today on dry pavement. Lifts the rear inner wheel in corners and just when it looks like it's going to lift both inner wheels the rear slides around. Did not flip the car once. Not sure if it's going to stay as a basher, speeder or perhaps a drag car.

Build is made from: Mojave chassis, Typhon 6s arms, Kraton hubs for width, Typhon diffs, Max6 4985 motor, Mojave shock tower plate, towers otherwise Typhon, Buggy tires, Typhon 6s shocks.

Do you guys have a spool in the center or a differential? Not sure which way to go and what oil. Wondering about 500k or even 20 million. Front wheels were ballooning too much.

Are you going to speed run it or just bash around? Speed run I'd run spool 100% bashing 1 to 20 million

 

[RC-Dude]

Speed run perhaps later. But 1 to 20 million is a confirmation of what I am thinking. Thanks!

 

[Matt05]

Wish this guy would come back and finish this badass build. I wonder what he’s using for a chassis?

Don't ya hate it when you go along , givin thumbs up on posts, and see it's an old thread!
