Would you recommend this to use with Mojave?
Yes the Flysky GT5 is recommended! It’s more for crawlers due to the six channels, crabsteering or front and back steering in same direction. But works as a charm in the Mojave. (It has fast response 5ms I thought)
Receiver of the flysky GT5 is 30x25x16mm
Outerdiameter of the radio box in the Mojave.
Length: 1.8 (46mm)
Width: 1.6 (42.1mm)
Height: 1.4 (36.
I was in the assumption that it wouldn’t fit. But the sizes say differently.

Flysky is the official maker its a Chinese brand of radio electronics , turnigy is just relabeling them. Just like Carson In Europe which is essentially a rebranded Flysky RC.Receiver look a little bigger than original Spektrum, so it may fit in the box.
Just found out that flysky GT5 is turnigy as well, is that coz two brands buys them from the same maker?

Flysky FS-iT4S Is the same as a Carson FS Reflex Wheel Ultimate Touch 2.0 2.4G
I like this one: Flysky FS-NB4+FS-TR4 2.4G 4CH it looks very sturdy and build quality looks more than oké.
Thanks Dyna for information!And as for the other stuff:
Set of tyres, Set of spare Arms and hingepins,
tape the body on the inside with some Heavy duty ducktape. (Especially the rear corners). Will help prevent cracking the rear edges on the rear topbumper when rolling/flipping.
The long screws on the shocktower from the springs have a tendency to snap. (Crash, break arm, etc). Happend to me after I crashed mine on a rock. Arm broke , hinge pin bend, screw from shocktower snapped when unscrewed, total time spent waiting on “simple” parts 5 weeks @ ~€25 spare parts value.
Rest of the stuff is for off field repair / maintenance releated. (Takes more time for the repair then a quick change out and are way more expensive)
Don’t forget the bearings for the car. I wouldn’t buy the Arrma ones, they’re expensive vs quality. Just lookup the sizes in the manual and buy them online.
Errors/failures in the Gears, etc wil be spotted by breakage or maintenance. ? they’re to expensive to buy them for spares. Unless you buy parts from kit breakers. (Assembled Whole parts at lower prices).
And the usual maintenance oils, fluids, etc come in handy ?.
The Radiolink supposedly has the best reception over the Flysky. But honestly I don't think you can go wrong with either one. These are both feature rich Radio sets. I think Flysky has better support. I not 100% sure. I don't have either one. I use My spektrum DX5C. Their support for the upper tier radios are greatWould you recommend this to use with Mojave?
Regarding extra channels, most upgrade Radio sets offer multi model abilities, and extra channels. With the recent surge in Crawler popularity Radio MFR's include crab steering, winches etc. But extra channels can be used for Dual ESC/motor setups, lighting and other uses not exclusive to Crawlers. Remember that when it comes to multi model radios, all those features don't necessarily need to be for one model. As your RC collection grows, the radio is future proof. You may buy a crawler, rock racer, or even Race Truggy down the road. And your radio will accommodate whatever RC you are adding to it and controlling.Yes the Flysky GT5 is recommended!

Agreed.... I have broke the front body mount once and the front lower control arm s twice. Be sure to order the control arm shafts.The first part I broke was Front Lower arm, curb did that , did order that.
As far as I know the next most part that breaks very often is Body Mount.
Any other suggestions for part I should order?
Thanks!
Exactly why I bought 4s batteries for my 6s Typhon, still quicker than my nitros were. ? now when I buy new trucks I throw my 4s pack in to get used to the new ride and then put the 6s packs in when readyOh, I see, that's why it doesn't want to stop when on 50%, it's still a lot to learn for me. I will get 4s next time. And I bet your son is a million times better than me
I don't understand those HUGE problems with the stx2. I drive my stock mojave just fine with it. Sure there are better ones but its an RTR. But telling the whole time its a crappy radio is just wrong.
To the question. I broke so fare just one front arm and many many many body posts. The ones who have 4 pins. This is in my eyes the weakest part. After many runs I broke front and rear bumpers but only after heavy jumping. Agree on making the body stronger with tape or even with fibertape.

Please don't make the mistake of thinking the STX3 is any better. I wanted to make that clear that up as others have had HH send them this thinking there is an improvement. Not. Its the same as the STX2, but with an extra 3rd channel and a Rubber grip wheel. That's all.
If looking for a decent budget radio, there are many options out there that are very good. Absolutely any other radio is going to be leaps and bounds better Search AF. There is much on this topic. Spektrum makes decent radio sets but the good ones start at $100.00+. I like my Spektrum DX5C. Controls up to 20 models with memory. The Tactic TTX300 originally was the Included radio for most Arrma rigs until HH/Arrma switched to the STX2 to keep the price point low. Search and shop prices for this basic Tactic radio (a H.H. brand), a dependable basic radio. But other decent budget brands to look at include RadioLink and Flysky. DX3 has decent reviews. But I would only look at the DX5C and above models. The DX3 still has that TH lim. nonsense. The feel of its ergonomics is poor in my opinion just like the STX's are. Its not worth the coin. In the end its your call.

Yep, tried 4s and together with flysky GT5, it's sooo much better. Thanks!The Mojave is considered a very stout RC rig as Arrmas go. don't forget that you can run 4S in Mojave also. I do that from time to time in all my 6S rigs. The fun factor will surprise you. You will find yourself in better control, you will feel more confident and even forget that its only running 4S. Trust me.
Mhhh what are you doing that so much brakes. I mean I do 10-20m jumps in the air and only thing what broke are front arms and those damn body mounts.So I have been running this rig for a few months now. I have had somethings break and get worn down. these are the parts I would suggest replacing with aluminum parts.
Fast eddie bearings
Rear /Front axle carriers
at least, if not all the differential covers
center differential mount
front suspension mount
dirt shield wheel nut
center diff cover
engine fan (helps with engine heating up and shutting down early because of heat)
keep extra parts (broke these on jumps and bad landings)
body mount
skid plate mount set
I am new to the RC world, but these are the parts that broke on me while running the mojave 6s
