Yessir!! My brother and I have a few rigs that are similar, it gets sketchy I tell ya!!
Heck, I took a can of hot pink spray paint to my 2wd Rustler so we could tell them apart..figured since he had gifted it to me I should be the one with the pink Rustler.. I call it stinky pinky!!
Wish it were as thick as the OC and Noto.I remember one time, I got all confused, looking at the wrong one, and mine drove far away out into the fields, I actually didnt know where it was. like 300 feet away lost for a few minutes into the brush...Yessir!! My brother and I have a few rigs that are similar, it gets sketchy I tell ya!!
Tali exb and Kraton exb are nearly identical from 50 foot..both on white dish truggy wheels
It happened to the other guy as well. All the other guys were laughing at us.For me, having an actual Fireteam solves that problem.
It works quite well, easy to remove and reapply too. I tried shoo goo and fiberglass tape..nah. Too messy, didn't seem to be worth it to me.
Yeah, somedays our racing look's more like demolition derby at my place.. our rigs get beat up from running into/over each other more than bashing. We get into it pretty good, don't care about the consequences..Brand new O8S? Yep, t-boned by an Xmaxx!! Only money folks, can't take it with ya!!Yeah for me the shoogoo drywall tape thing seems just silly, a waste of time and $$$. Been there. Will just break up anyway. Best to just Gorilla tape some key areas, then tape it up as you go, bashing and smashing here and there. Or just replace the body as I did, and just run a PL Bash armor body. Problem solved. Keeping a pristine Kraton body for the shelf if that matters to you.
HH/Arrma just loves to keep selling us that Kraton this ass body. They know we bash it very hard. It's a 6s Kraton isn't it? "Just Send it" and all. A great money Maker for them. That K6 body has the strength of a 1/10 platform body that is half its weight. Yet the OC and Noto bodies are twice as thick and strong?? What gives with that?
Kind of obvious to me.
It's just $greed$.
I love the scorched fenders. It keeps a lot out not 100% but very close . I can not complain one bit about them . Well worth the money IMO. I have drove through water mud rocks and yet still very nice inside. I definitely recommend getting them if you budget allows it. It's a hobby of love but mostly money unfortunatelyI agree 100%.
I like the Mojave just the way it is. Stock wheels tucked inside the body and all. One of my favorite RC's here. I also have a 6s Kraton as well, and a Fireteam.
I think some with the Mojave just get bored or frustrated with it and change it up because the last guy also did it, or they really wanted a different rig altogether. So it becomes a thing, one that is not all that?
And then it is not a Mojo SCT or Dessert Racer anymore.
If you know how to drive the Mojave and dial in the suspension well enough, it is a complete blast to run. I never felt the Mojave is a Big air basher. Yet Many YT video Influencers drive it that way. We all drive differently. But I feel you should adapt your driving style to the model and not the the other way around. Until you have many RC's of all different styles, you tend to want to change that one model up all the time to become something it wasn't meant to be. I generally don't put all my apples into one basket. Rather buying that next different model and learn to drive it that way.
With RC you can do anything with creativity. For some that is their choice and style in this hobby.
>>>One very first thing I did was installed the Scorched RC Inner fenders. My Mojo runs quite clean inside the chassis now.
Same holds true with most any SCT or Closed wheeled body. They simply will always collect debris and dirt. Nothing new here.
Yeah I understand the boring part then wanting to modify or make it something different. Thank you to all for the replies and knowledge of why people do it. I understand now . Keep trucking
