Nice terminator music at the end lol. When I first started watching your channel I didn’t really “get” crawling. Now I’ve got a Sport kit (not built), UMG10 kit (not built), SCX10-II Cherokee, and SCX24. Awesome that you are branching out (on the channel content I mean; I think you said you used to heavily into SCTs and buggies). Gonna be cool to have your style of reviewing (no bullshit, you weren’t sent items, etc) applied to non crawlers. Can’t wait for the comparison of Mojave vs UDR vs Losi Rey. Your channel, it’s a dream come true.
The very beginning of the video where Mojave is climbing a hill and throwing leaves out 15 ft was the best moment of my year. Thanks for that man.
Love your honesty and passion for the hobby. Cheers pal 👍
Thank you very much for taking the time to do this. It was a fantastic review and your passion really comes through
I agree with about the statement that the V2 Mojave is one of the best Arrmas out there. I have an EXB Mojave. What a beast!
Here are the upgrades I did. First to buy a dust cover and a fan for the motor. Love that car it is a beast. Really enjoy your videos. Thanks
Eagerly awaiting the next installment on this vehicle - want to learn more about the mods that you touched on at the end of the first video. I've had my Mojave for several weeks now, but holding off on any upgrades until I learn what you've found to work well. Keep up the great work!
Coming soon! for sure. We've been scouting out locations
Love the open music, lots of memories came up with that👌
Just picked up my Mojave last week, enjoying the heck out of it. Looking forward to your upgrades. I have a Reefs 500 RAW servo going in and upgraded the radio system.
The driving clips sound just like music from The Terminator!! 😂 Great job on the video, the Senton looks so puny compared to the Mojave! 😁👍👍
What in the world? Stepping into the basher arena? This will be great!
Absolutely love the review, The top of my want list... driven both this and the UDR several times and think both are epic...
Love how desert trucks move about on their suspension. Great to watch and Arrma definitely was on a winner with this car. Beefy as suspension arms... jeeez
The Traxxas UDR is an epic, more scale vehicle with it's solid rear axle and suspension setup, but also why it breaks it's rear trailing arms when bashed a little harder. UDR is harder to work on by far.....
Both look brilliant. My pick is the Mojave... Independent suspension works better in RC cars and the battery bays are a much better design with the Mojave. either way... they're both huge fun as RC cars...
One of the best RTRs out there, bar none. Probably the best basher. It comes at a price, but it works on every level. Worth it!
So good to hear. Durable?
@@RCReviewChannel Everything breaks, but the strength of this truck is borderline ridiculous. Judging from what I've seen, a "cheap" entry-level radio (bought the FS-GT5 you recommended for 3 of my projects) and a better servo raise it to a kit performance level. In a strange way, it's quite a bargain. I really appreciate you actually paid for this!
Love the mojve! me and 4 friends bought each and did "raceprepp them"
Remove the drivers and the unessesary weight and then stiffen upp the whole car with oils springs and harder sway bars so the handling was better and them we race. so much fun!
20t pinion and hobbywing max6 with max punch really woke it up!
Remember to always tighten up your wheels before running it, otherwise they will loose and strip the wheel :P
just the advice we needed!!!
NICE. This vs. the new Losi Super Baja Rey 2 vs. the Traxxas UDR!
That's what we're thinking
@@RCReviewChannel That will be very interesting indeed: The Arrma is built like the proverbial tank, the Traxxas is more of a scale vehicle with weak suspension parts and plastic hexes - which are just silly. The Losi was designed as a UDR killer - and probably is, but there are some concerning reports about cheap and nasty gears falling apart! My money is on the Arrma...
@@thepilotxproject4035 The udr does not have weak suspension parts. No idea where you got that from. The udr only has 3 weak spots. Rear trailing arms, wheel hexes, and front center driveshaft. The arrma and traxxas are two different animals. The udr would perform better in an off road setting, or a big open field. The mojave would perform better at the skatepark. The sbr 2.0 is just a POS. It's not as scale as the udr and it's less durable than both the udr and mojave. The losi wasn't designed as a udr killer. They aren't even the same size. The only thing the sbr 2.0 kills is itself.
@@gasolinediesel972 So... The UDR is a flagship model, fairly (very!) expensive, and still sold with 3 known ready-to-break parts... It's also smaller than the similarly priced competition. I wouldn't buy the Losi over the Arrma in any way, shape, or form, but the UDR is just covering its weaknesses through fancy scale details... I'll pass - and most people will! The UDR is old news, call other models whatever you like.
@@thepilotxproject4035 The udr sells better than the mojave and sbr 2.0 combined. The udr really isn't a flagship model. It is rarely advertised. Traxxas might release one or two videos a year about the udr, but then they'll release multiple for the xmaxx. They do this because the xmaxx makes them more profit than the udr, and it also sells a little better because monster trucks have a higher demand than short course trucks. The mojave also has a major weak spot in the form of the chassis. The aluminum chassis bends SOOO easily. All of the upgrades for the udr add up to about $50. The upgraded chassis for the mojave is well over double that. The mojave is also old news, because literally nobody still talks about it. It came and went.
First time, I saw the Mojave, I felt in deep love. Especially the replace body in stars and stripes is a big eye catcher for me. Thought, I will buy the big brother for my Senton 6S V1. But there's not enough space to run around my hometown, so I decided to buy a crawler as an opposite to my Senton (Enduro Sendero - thanks Francis, for the Sendero reviews🙏🏼)
The Mojave is a very impressive and beautiful, capable rc car!
Great video. I can't wait for the shoot out! I always thought these things were like UDRs but that it a totally different beast!
How's the UDR different and what does it do better than the Mojave you think?
UDR is solid rear axle with a locker. It steers with the throttle a lot more.
Great review as always. 😀👍🏻
@@RCReviewChannel oh I wasn't saying either is better. I don't own either one but I want to. I can just tell after your video they are built a lot differently. Great video!
Love your videos, keep up the great work! I especially like the unbiased opinions on vehicles. I was torn over buying the Mojave, but your video and a great sale price helped me make my decision. Now it's my 2nd fav RC, behind my bonkers ( and I like it that way) Kraton 6s.
Glad you like them!
I have the Traxxas UDR and love it to bits. If I had the funds I would get one of these no hesitation.
My favorite vehicle!! And this things rips on 4s.... plus you get more use out of your tires.
We're you drunk while doing this unboxing ?!? 🤣.. lol idc though you are the best by far at what you do! Always a pleasure to watch. Thanks for another great vid
Mojave is best, have mine a year! Its a beast!
Thanks for an honest review.....
I like Mojave but Kraton is for me .
Yes, love the Mojave 6s.....6s is a sweet spot....especially since I already have a ton of 6s for EDF Jets😎
These 6s batteries are pricey. It held us back from the vehicles for a while for sure.
Mabuhay greetings from The Philippines! Got me a Senton 3S ! Happy with it bit that Mojave is really something! Erwin Cruz from Rizal Province .
Where’s the y follow up videos you promised 🤓 Enjoyed this review and look forward to how you got on with those upgrades, all the best.
Great video, but u really really need a kraton 6s and then u will have a basher!!! Lol. U would love it and hope u get one and review it. Good luck and be safe! 😁👍
Grear review...i'm buying one👍
I’ve got the senton v1 had it since launch great truck but want a 6s arrma now like the mojave or fireteam does the mojave fill up with dirt like the senton? Pain to clean
Wow this is huge!!!
I am Feezy Singapore, gonna get either Mojave or Baja Rey, need some advice and recommend please tq
why you don't put an 8s arrma system in it? or a max6, i think the max8 is not gonna make much difference
3 must do mods:
Dual fan heatsink motor mount
2mm hub extender from M2C
T-Bone front/rear bumpers.
Have any links for those parts?
I get mine tomorrow!
If it's a Hobbywing rebranded, try using a Hobbywing program card
How long is the run time on this little beast? I've been eyeing one for a while but this channel has made me spend most of my RC funds on crawlers lately :) Looking forward to the progress on the Mojave. Keep up the good work!
20 mins or so at mostly wide open on a 50c 5000 mah reaction 2 lipo and or a 50c 5200 mah powerhobby lipo run time can be more just depends on how hard you run it ,they both work good for me hope this helps!
@@roosterrc6519 Thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for.
Whats a good servo for these one to up grade
Yeah if you love it I know I will love it.
Is there good upgrades for this truck 1/7
I have the mojave and udr and i must say the mojave is the better the udr is always broke ,MOJAVE IS GREAT
im hesitating on buying a used one, doesnt look used, but has a max6, dx3 and comes with two HRB 6s 5000mah packs, for only 600$ canadian dollars. should i?
Honesty 💙😇🤚
Vitavon rims with Hyrax next?
can you give me the link to the radio that has a 3/4 a mile range you said?
I'm really happy with the speed and strength of my Protek 170sbl if you want something with a good balance.
Yes, that's the info i need.
Could you please review the red cat 1/10 scale ridge rock Danchee ?
What is the radio you use?
How do you clean your RCs?
Nice review and feel we can trust ya since you're not motivated to give us an unbiased review having to pay for this truck. When will part 2 come out and the shootout with the UDR? Thx!
Wheres part 2 ? :(
Where is part 2?
I found the castle mamba monster x and 2200 combo is the best for lower speed control it's sendsord and flat out huals ..ss and put 1m diff fluid in center helps alot.but I would check them only thing I don't like about arrma they did put enough from factory or some had none I own ten and counting all had same issue from 3s to 8s this is one that still don't have in the stable yet.watch rich dubash channel he gives some of the best information out there on arrmas and there little issue keep up great work and can't wait to see what you do with it.
Do u no the range for the spektrum rugged ?
How much playing time on this Mojave desert truck?🤔😎😲 nice review, it helps me know how great it is, but it can do anything.🤠
Glenn J Thompson I get 30 mins out of 5000mah and 45 out of 6200mah
What motor would you upgrade to?
can we get a speed test? and do you recommend getting the exb upgraded new body or is this one fine?
I got the EXb version and added a hobby Wing 1650 KV with the Max 6 and man it is beautiful way better than arma's electronics and Polo creations make some awesome lights for it awesome lights
Bruh you should have gotten the red one. Its looks 10 times better. Anyway. And pleeeasse switch out the radio to something nice, like a futaba. And put some silicone earplugs in the centre diff it makes it so much better and makes drifting even better. Have fun, the mojave won’t let you down. Also just saw that you bought the max8 esc and i just want to tell you that the stock esc is a max 8
Do I get 50c or 100c battery??
double the size,weight ,cell count and price. 1/6th speed increase. Not all about speed i know but i will stick with the senton
Where’s the upgrade video.
Brakes are tunable with the esc same for the punch
Wonder how I do that. Do I need to read a darn manual :)
@@RCReviewChannel its in the manual yes😆
$150-$200 for one 6s lipo? You can get 2 nice 6s lipos for 200$!!! But I’m considering the Mojave! Is it still worth it ? Someone wants to trade me a Mojave 6s for one of my traxxas Maxx
You can turn ur punch up and your brake power
Can I run 8s with stock motor and esc?
A bit late but No you’ll fry em
"You are putting a low cost radio......on a missile"
Are you filipino?
Put that truck in kevs hands and let's just see how well it bashes...lol
Chassi braces upgrade
We'll wait til we bend something.
Arrmaneverinstock
rrrrright?
@@RCReviewChannel lol it's kinda close to I'm a never in stock so I gave up trying to get a long time ago what's made from unobtainium and don't get me started on Horizon fools.
But you sire are Awesome and because of you I have Gen 8 Axe Redcat and love it thank you.
For the money get a kraton or revo. Both have strengths and weaknesses. Much cheaper, just as powerful and fast, but bigger tires and cooler tricks.
ahh, better aerobatics. Need to find some jumps here though.
Seem more trustworthy without the flat bill hat lol.
the hair is not looking good this week.
@@RCReviewChannel haha
You need a cameraman so you can really cut loose..lol
Max eight is going to overheat get a max six
Get a maxx and xmaxx
MOE'S GARAGE an xmaxx would be nice
The real question is how does it do on rocks? Lol jk jk 🤣
It needs upgrades :)
First! 😁
It was. Until the SBR 2.0 came out.
