Is the body alloy? What am i missing here?

Besides a lot of screws in your head,

Stick to the noob section, any questions please PM.

 

[Sir Kushington]

Besides a lot of screws in your head,

Lol. Maybe for your next build you can convert a 8s to 3s. Lol. Nice work. So just for clarity the stock chassis is lighter, stronger, cheaper, less work, better handling, probably would have cleared the mower? Still appreciate the input. Always good to learn from other people's mistakes

Sweet build, but is the performance really THAT much better than a M4S?

Looks cool, but is it just a looks thing?

 

[Garcbomber]

Great question, lots of reasons for this build besides being the only one ever built.

Much lower center of gravity chassis than the $500+ plastic 1/8 toy. We bash/race in freezing to sub zero Fahrenheit and know the weak composite will fail along with the cheap non-adjustable shock assemblies they include on the 4S RTR.

I now have (6) total Arrma 6S rigs so components are all universal and this was mainly a spare parts build. I know the drivetrain will easily hold up to 6S bashing with heavy MT tires where the plastic CVD/Axles would be a huge failure mode for my type of land-on throttle jumping. The “center diff module” assembly is not $100 for screws to just back out of cheap pot metal.

(2) 420mm wheelbases
(2) 330mm wheelbases
(1) 402mm On-Road v2 Infraction

This used a 378mm EXB Talion balanced layout and was intended to be a great happy medium short course truck.

Not to mention a better balanced cross weight layout compared to a rear biased center diff module, more suspension articulation(just look at the ease of 150mm tire fitment without even trimming the body).

This would straight up embarrass a 4S RTR Mojave in anything but making rattling noises. Anyone is more than welcome to hop on my track and continuously traction roll their top heavy plastic pile around , anytime.

Edit- This hobby is about having fun!

If you want to make it competitive, get rid of the coffeehouse BS behind your parent’s keyboard

I had a similar thought. I'm curious to see if he's ever broke a composite frame. I can guarantee my 4s mojave would smoke that heavy metal one. Looks much more balanced in the air also compared to the 10ft sends i see in the videos here. I've launched mine well over 50ft. Had huge drops. Upside down landings. Water rides. I've sunk it twice. It literally never stops. And my 6s mojave looks like it would trample this lil guy. Plus it already comes dialed. And aluminum. And technically 1/8 scale if you actually measure a real trophy truck. That 1/7 is a China size. As far as looks go. My 4s looks identical. Aside from the white tires. Arrma 4s line might be the only line they actually have dialed in. They are almost indestructible. And perfectly balanced. Stock. I've never driven mine slow enough to hear rattling noises. Maybe body clips rattling. The real fun doesn't start until you've made one that's actually fast. His is the only one for a reason lol. 8s mojave photos included. I'm try to post some speed runs and huge jumps on my 4s. Ive already hit maybe 65mph i think. 8s is cranking 80 to 85mph weather permitting. I've never broke any composite arrma frame. But I'm being told anything will break if you drive it wrong enough. Cheers hope that helped clarify. Bash proudly. And keep your mowers in a shed. Cheers.

Start your own thread if you want to flex your store bought EXB with trash wheels and on-road electronics.

You sound ??

 

[fish]

Challenge Accepted.
BW has some Mojave Blood in him too.
I don't own a single stock Arrma.

I love the Mojave too! - gonna build a Mojave/Fireteam next year. Too many other builds this season.


Have you run it on 8S yet?

All terrain. Read a book. Take a Xanax. Relax.

Probably the best tires in the market. On/offroad

Glad i could help clear that up. After all you went through reinventing the wheel. I'm sure you need the extra help.

 

[Garcbomber]

You sound pompous. Sorry to have to say that.

You want a side of jelly with your wahmburger and French cries?

I want two try them next. Bit Heavy and only a 142mm diameter so it's a bit small too.
Love the look and treads.

Been running the methodRC TERRAFORM All-Terrain Belted Monster Truck Tires at 139mm, 202g each! Nice Belted Tire for a heavy rig.

I run those on all my 1/10. Love those tires. With the bigger cars. I like bigger heavier. More air control at least for my sausage fingers. Lol

I was an all-american college baseball and football player, IYKYK. It's no platinum star in the military, but it's honest work

I think you meant silver star lol. But yeah you're right college ball is definitely not that either. Shout out to all veterans. Thank you for your service. Take me up on that read a book thing. Knowledge is power.

Let's be honest. I didn't really need to start a thread. This one is going just fine for me. #hijacked.

Had the terraforms for Mojave, poor loose dirt and grass

 

[fish]

Had the terraforms for Mojave, poor loose dirt and grass grip.

Still hold the 0-60mph on road record though.

Nice.
and Yup. Those are really street tires for larger rigs.

The BackFlip MT's at 172mm are F'in GREAT on Grass and Dirt!!
Haven't found another tire that does as well.

I run the terraforms on this size rig GD. Great on pavement. Gotten around 100mph with them, easily.

Short Course Duty on Fortress MT's at 139mm.

Custom Mojave/Big Rock actually going 70mph with $30 Lipos

That's wicked!!! You've achieved the advertised speed on the box!!! Woot woot.

I concur.

I haven't seen anything but a couple pictures and a whole lot of fishing pole from the noob.

You can check out my channel where 90 percent of the RC stunts are accomplished with my left hand on the transmitter while the right-hand is video capturing slow motion and contemplate what you've actually done in your life.

Keep them coming with your fragile wheels on a body that won't even allow chassis slap without interference
