Mojave World’s First Alloy Chassis 1/8 Mojave

[H1-ROADBLOK]

Looking good, my dude!

Rear tower

Front complete

Ripped around on 3S dialing in suspension, not as tip happy as I was anticipating.

 

[Luke66]

Okay, that's cool. I gotta build one.

 

[Garcbomber]

After some tweaks, full body. That half ounce of cross weight is negligible with sway bar tolerance but more lipo would do it.

 

[Garcbomber]

Wasn’t digging the sleeper look.

 

[Garcbomber]

Big brother comparison on 6S, cross weight is actually dialed but sway bars were connected in this data.
Full alloy drivetrain and scale size for full 6S capability equates to an additional 3lbs of LCG mass.

F**k Yeah!!
Just out of curiosity, did you layer up the 4s body with reinforcement?

Nope, we had some good crashes into each other and the boy went full speed directly into a tree too. They may have had a brittle batch of lexan/PC upon launch. Also cold weather may induce cracks with how well they secure the body to chassis. It was 80 degrees here yesterday, hard to believe we were snow bashing a couple weeks ago

80?! Dang! I guess that weather should be here in a few days, hopefully!! We had sleet on Saturday, rained on/off yesterday.. I spent a few hours clearing some brush to expand my track. Glad to hear things went well!!

First rip

Awesome brother!! Nice work!

 

[Garcbomber]

Won’t require track lighting

Fully dialed, excited to use an actual high quality 4S pack and rip. The 12 gauge wire on a 3700mah Zeee was plenty for the kids but a 5.0AH G+ CNHL will be just what the doctor ordered.

Nice! I look forward to seeing it come together. I used the K6 since that's what I had. Talion should handle even better I'd bet. I never thought about the 4s Mojo body for it, my version has a hacked up K6 body on it now with a mixture of Kraton and Mojo 6s body mounts, Losi posts.
After seeing this thread, I hopped over to Arrma RC to start comparing specs between 4,6s Mojos and Tali and K6.. I'm reminded quickly what I hate about Arrma and the specs they choose to publish, they don't give the same specs from model to model. Drives me nuts, why can't they just use one spec sheet acrossed the different models? Example: track width is listed for the 6s, but not the 4s. Ground clearance is listed for 4s, not 6s. Diff ratio listed for 6s, not for 4s..

I also run into reference issues when hybrid building sure makes them extra money cause sometimes you just don't know till it's in your hand

Your print? Looks beefy!! I'm still nursing the cracked OE bumper spring along, LOL. I filled the "hoops" of it with 3m super weather strip adhesive. Took weeks to fully cure!!
Most recently I've been filling the hoops of my super basher bumper springs with E6000. I'll get some testing in on that this season to see how or if that helps. Poor man upgrades, LOL.

E-bay $13 combo special and is nice dense TPU.

Nephew found a tree with the front right corner, body panel popped right out with no cracks except the couple year old front spring bumper it had installed!

Ay, it was bound to happen. Hopefully no one was hurt? Glad it survived, and popped right out!! Not a shelf queen!!

Played hooky from work today. Got my shelf queens out for a little rip.
