So decided I want to build either a SWB Mojave or rally car with the v5 Typhon chassis I had lying around. Starting the build with extra parts I have and also extra Spektrum 150A and will probably put my TP 4050 in it as well. So far have added Mojave front arms, only have one rear arm, Mojave driveshafts, turnbuckles and tierods, Typhon diffs, hubs and axles front and back, Limitless towers to keep it low profile, battery tray, reciever box, ESC mount, servo mount, motor mount, diff mount and cover, complete steering rack and top plate, standoffs, side guards and chassis braces. Already have Spektrum 150A mounted and ready to go. Have a screw kit ordered, upgraded center diff from @Lovestricken and also hub pin set for front cvd's and Tbone front bumper. Still need hex's, shocks, servo and one rear Mojave A arm. Haven't looked at a body yet so have to see what I can find and like and decide on what body mounts I use also. Not too bad so far for just starting it couple days ago and just all extra parts as well. I'll slowly update the thread as I get more parts..

Got more done on the mini Mojave, rear Limitless chassis brace/rear tower support added and ordered the felony body mounts for the rear, stock Spektrum servo installed and will have horn coming next week I need. Picked out a Ford Raptor SVT body for it and got it roughly trimmed up and laid down a custom design I came up with. Screw kit came in so got everything attached and also got the standoffs and shock balls on. Tbone front bumper installed but think I may switch it out to the RPM front bumper as it will fit the SCT better I think. Lots coming next week so will be about done hopefully besides painting the body and need to get a Rx/tx still.

Ok got more done today. Shocks, rear A arm, center diff, hex's and cvd barrels and pins installed. Started some painting on the body but have to now wait for my white paint to do any more. Front will be candy orange fading to white with the masked design in black. Still not sure on tires but the MX m2's will do for now as the belted MX28's rub on the front hubs with the Typhon hex's. Will allow me to trim the body anyways for any tire rubbing.

I use these on my Typhon 6S truck. It widens it just enough to put just about any 17mm wheel on there. Still not wide enough for big 3.8” tires to clear the body tho. You’ll need the full truggified setup for that.

Who will finish first? You or I ???? Thanks again for the hubs , feel bad you needed them after all.

It's all good bro was my dumbass mistake lol but worked out another forum brother donated a set to me so worked out in the end. I had another set but they are Kraton hubs not Typhon and I wanted to keep everything tight and low. Actually need to update the build as I got my felony body mounts done today so not much else I need besides finish paint, some shock covers, servo horn which is on the way, switch to rpm front bumper and a Rx/tx I believe 👍

Got the body painted yesterday as I finally got my paint. Not 100% how I wanted it but doesn't look horrible for not having power when painting due to the bad fires around us. Now just have to cut out and apply decals and still waiting on a couple small parts to finish.

That came out great! I love the fade in colors.
Thanks bro! Not sure if you got those covers and servo horn sent back as still hasn't shown up to me yet, not sure what's up🤷
Got some decals done while power was on for few hrs this morning

That sucks. Been nearly two weeks now. 4-9 days shipping time, my ass... :cautious:

But they should still turn up, I think: I ordered some small items from Amain on July 8 (two days before I shipped this stuff out to you) and those still haven't even arrived in the Netherlands yet, judging from the tracking page. Everything is just slow these days.

Oh damn I didn't realize you were over in the Netherlands 🤦 ok hopefully should be coming soon then as overseas takes a bit definitely. Think fastest I've seen stuff was from UK in 6 days from Scorched RC. Ya my Amain order from 3hrs away from me took 9 days to get here lol so definitely stuff is behind. Thanks again bro I appreciate it!
Looks great bro, sorry to hear about the fires and the power situation. That can’t be fun!
Thanks bro! Ya definitely no fun especially sitting at fair everyday all day in the heat then get home and can't shower or turn AC on etc. And just the not even knowing when we get our couple hrs of power is really sh!tty as we can't plan anything or try to be home when the power is on cause we have no idea😩
 
Looking good nice build. Sorry about the no power. Hopefully it is restored soon.
 
Ok so finally finished the custom build 😁 just went ahead and pulled the two shock cap covers and 23t servo horn I needed from my Noto as it needs a bit of repairs due to a 25+ft roof landing last bash😖 anyways had my TP 4050 just sitting so tossed it in to test the rig and think the motor is done as it ran hot and rough. Definitely nothing in my drivetrain as just built everything and was smooth as could be, also noticed motor wouldn't hardly roll at a slow speed and is hard to spin the rotor. Originally planned for the 4060-cm anyways so it will go in tomorrow and rig should be good to go👌 really happy with how it handled, turned on a dime and didn't even budge for roll over so think suspension and droop is perfect how I set it up. Stoked as I finally have my first SCT and I custom built it so even better as no one in the world has this setup but me😎

Ok 4060-cm installed and rig is running way better now so definitely think my 4050 is toasted. Hopefully get a maiden bash and running video in next couple days as today is the 4H auction and last day of fair for my kids.
