I love my Fireteam! BTW a great mod for it are the M2C Racing ZRS shock caps... it eliminates the bladder and mostly eliminates the rear end's tendency to bounce upwards uncontrollably.
Those are just emulsion caps. Hot racing has had them for a long time. They're not great for all-around driving. Integy piggybacks emulsion shocks are much better and have fully adjustable rebound and compression via knobs. You can turn the stock caps to emulsion bladderless shocks too. 4 x16mm O-rings then drill and tap a bleed hole on the cap.
Because your videos are so awesome, I drove quite a bit out of my way on a regular road trip that I make to see your store and track. A Main hobbies is awesome! Got some great advice on tires and picked some up. I look forward to visiting again soon. I wish you had a store near me. Brilliant.
Cool! Glad you could come over and visit our shop and track. Hopefully some people were getting sideways with the drifters. Where were you coming from? -Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies Hi Brett! Thank you for the reply. I am regularly between San Jose CA and Medford OR. So your store is between but with a diversion. Totally worth it though. What an awesome store. Next time I am brining my Sledge with me and I want to run it on your track!! Would love to meet you.
I love SCTs, so I got the Mojave v2. I've beat the brakes off that thing. One of the toughest rigs. That being said, my buddy has a fireteam.. also a tough rig. If you understand the strengths of each rc and understand how to drive them, you can't go wrong with either. Really it's up to your preference, but both are really fun.
a Talion would have been another good one to compare these with, i've driven all of these and the Talion was the most fun, especially with all the EXB parts and belted tires. the mojave tires on a Talion are awesome too though
i have them both , the fireteam is the best especially on kraton tires . For offroad i like the backflips. i removed the rear brake , i will try it on a two wheel verison when i find a good use one.
Just putting this out there. The Fireteam body might be heavy, but it greatly contributes to the durability of it. I let my wife drive my Fireteam and she ran full speed into a light pole. She hit it so hard that the pinion gear flew off yet the chassis never bent at all.
Had a Mojave exb with Spektrum 8s electronics,nearly impossible to control,fun but requires lots of skill,the Fireteam is my favorite,you can drive it like a jerk and still keep it in line,only thing I did to it was put a 21T pinion gear,it does wheelies at will,blindingly fast.
after a full year of running both , this is not a fare comparison. the fireteam is easily the best out of these two. for more power without any modifications put the kraton 8s gen 1 system in there. if in aint now it will elevate to your favorite RC
Mojave for me...the way it drifts on dirt is amazing...its not all about big air...now the udr looks better but u can only send it once then onto the operating table lol...
Fireteam is the best driver I've experienced. I'm relatively new to rc, if you discount my neighbor showing off optima mids and turbo optima mids. Never got to run those. My vorza buggy rides better than my slash, original tmaxx electrified just likes to break plastic shafts. Fireteam body takes rolls and crashes exceptionally well, but it doesn't want to roll, even at speed.
Imo the FT is a better basher like doing backflips etc but I'm more into racing and more realistic driving experience so I'd have to go with the Mojave 👍🏻
I hope there are some good bodies for the Fireteam in the near future. Still no good options that for correctly, although that F250 looked really good.
I love my fireteam, It was originally a kraton exb so I have the exb diffs, aluminum bulkheads and other upgrades, it’s a beast, handles and flies so well too, I like the Mojave but it jumps like crap, it parachutes like all sct.
The ebreak. Makes the fire team better then mojave but you don't need it the truck take conyers better then mojave without the ebreak it's less to roll over I like both if I had to pick fireteam more stable
All you fireteam haters the man just toll you which one is better the mojave tends to roll over in sharp turns just like the udr.the fireteam is very responsive in conyers no flipping over ask me the fireteam is the udr and mojave all in one truck
The Mojave doesn't roll in sharp turns that's what makes it the Mojave hates to roll over. I'm about to have both of them and don't have a preference but I love that the pick up kicks out the rear end before it flips. SC trucks don't normally do that.
Have to disagree. Wider is better imo. Plus, Fireteam has much more tire options available. And then the biggest reason the Fireteam is better, the current price of $399 shipped.
there is no comparison each rc is very different. In tires, chassis, body's there will be many people who like the fireteam. but with time. The same thing will happen to the already forgotten axial yeti xl. If you look closely it's almost the same design just for some different arrangements. In my case I have never liked that type of design. I have had bashers, scts drifting rcs drag rcs and the ones that I liked the most are the scts like the udr and arrma mojave and the super baja rey v1 and 2. and the baja rey 1/10 scale. There will never be a comparison in these two different designs. That's what I think in my humble opinion.🤷
Grabbed this when Arrma put it on sale for $399. I mean just fantastic of Arrma and Horizon when they do this for their fans. Just amazing price drop sales on their great vehicles unlike dumb Traxxas that gives free light kits on over priced vehicles….big whoop Traxxas….smh We just run and slide outs around on gravel and loose dirt. It’s just awesome!
The $150 bucks extra is due to the Talion being an EXB rtr, so more durable components when compared to the Kraton rtr. It also comes with a better transmitter
@@jeffbarton4398 man I’ve been wanting a Talion for a while now. I have a Kraton 8S and an ERevo 2.0 so I’m not sure if it would make sense to get another truggy… but man it does look fun
Yeah, no kidding. I'd buy the Mojave solely because you get a usable body out of the box. Fireteam looks dumb and offensive. I don't play with G.I Joes for 35 years now.
The fire team is awful swirly the Mojave has better control I've had them both but what needs to happen to the fire team needs to have the suspension Springs tighten up a lot better for control there's too much slop the Mojave needs inner fenders to keep all the drit out of there lol 😆
i just dont like the fireteam part of the fireteam.. prefer a cool light weight body I much prefer my castle powered 8s 1717 in my built up kraton exb.. runs all day long on 6s on the back wheels... and good for 10 min use in Austalia on 8s the way i have it geared

Another solid comparison👍 A lot to take into account but you have given a ton of info to make a solid decision.
I really like the comparison videos, you could do it with almost all the manufacturers. I would like to see more of these videos Thanks.
Just the comparison i was waiting for. Amain u r the best.
I have both. I prefer the Mojave on a track with friends for some closed-wheel rubbing and racing and the Fireteam for some high-speed bashing.
How are they both holding up?
I was thinking about getting a Mojave to add to my basher collection. Your video helped me make the final decision to go ahead and buy it. Thanks!

Great comparison video, keep em coming 👍
Have both, love both! The Fireteam is a bit more versatile especially for big air 🚀
Both awesome RC's have the same green blx mojave and i must say dang ive had so much fun moments with it, great for ripping
Awesome video! 2 awesome RC's!
Great detail. Thanks for putting it all together.
I like this "VS' type of video, I'd be interested in comparisons of other trucks.
Great vid and comparison! 🤘🏻
Some of the best review content available. Well sone sir.
Well they were both on sale this year .
Wouldn’t replace my Mojave I love it! Great informative video as always, great stuff guys thanks
a Talion would have been another good one to compare these with, i've driven all of these and the Talion was the most fun, especially with all the EXB parts and belted tires. the mojave tires on a Talion are awesome too though
Fireteam! Hankbrake is an awesome feature to have! and it looks better in my op
Great video! Thanks man!
I've had the fireteam for a month and it's pretty good. Gets squirrelly but it's fun in the rough stuff. The bigger gear almost is unusable.
i have them both , the fireteam is the best especially on kraton tires . For offroad i like the backflips. i removed the rear brake , i will try it on a two wheel verison when i find a good use one.

Exactly! People don’t realize the roll cage is functional! Also rollover nicely and usually lands back on all fours haha

hey i have a arrma senton but its the brushed version, could you do a video on brushless senton
nice trucks, i prefer the fireteam
Mojave ftw but I like the white camo Fireteam too.
Fireteam is king!
Can you give a shout out to rc boys
400 dollars for the fireteam on Black Friday, can’t beat that price
That typhon 3s is 240 which is sick too
I picked up two of them for that price
I wish the Mojave EXB was still available.
I love my fireteam, It was originally a kraton exb so I have the exb diffs, aluminum bulkheads and other upgrades, it’s a beast, handles and flies so well too, I like the Mojave but it jumps like crap, it parachutes like all sct.

Still Mojave, no contest. The EXB especially
All the way. I bought 3 of them. One is turning into a all metal kit and will be called ..

@@truerc I jumped on it at that price too right before Christmas.
duratrax Blinder, Badger, and Thrush fit well on the Mojave.
Is there a different body for the fire team that will fit if so do u have a link for it thanks
Xmaxx bodies..Hoban and zd 1/7 Mt trucks..and cen f250
Mojave Is hardest Arrma ever💪
Agree, mojave has insane durability.
It's still my favorite RC I have
Will arrma come out with a 1/7 monster truck
They are both great but there is nothing like a the Mojave
Fireteem puts a smile on my face .
I'm a neighborhood ditch stormer so it's right up my alley ( ditch ) .
I think the mojave looks sooo bad ass.i love it
I have the Fireteam & Senton 6s. Love both & drive both equally to death. Lol

Would the mojave do good with clay racing?
sledge vs E-revo 2.0 next?
Why not have both?
Why's the talion like $200 more than the Kraton? 10 extra mph?

Yeah, no kidding. I'd buy the Mojave solely because you get a usable body out of the box. Fireteam looks dumb and offensive. I don't play with G.I Joes for 35 years now.
can you do a review on the traxxas xmaxx
Can the fireteam rear hand break be installed in the mojave and you need to start posting to Australia lol
So what about a Mojave with FireTeam A arms, shocks, wheels ect. Handbrake the lot. Surely it would be an absolute BEAST?!
It would literally just be a fireteam with a mojave body
It's possible to make 6s custom that is lighter then the Mojave or the fireteam while being just as wide and long. I'm doing it👍
Mate of mine has used a Mojave chassis with K6 arms ect, things long and wide and an absolute beast
The mojave is just a lot nicer asthetically
Handbrake my dude 🤘
🔥 team
I was about to buy the Mojave but I guess there's no snow tires for them.
I’d still rather spend the money on an Xmaxx or a dbxl if I’m buying a big rc
but can you really swap some electronics in a traxxas x-maxx?
@@lillekenatnek195 Sure can
@@lillekenatnek195 it's called a hobbywing max4
How dare you suggest that we put a traxass body on an Arrma
I think the Traxxas desert truck looks better
Fire team can handle some rough terrain.. reminds me of a real monster truck..
How did I hit 62 mph with the Mojave right out of the box, without changing the pinion gear?
I'd have the fireteam with a lower lighter body
The fire team is awful swirly the Mojave has better control I've had them both but what needs to happen to the fire team needs to have the suspension Springs tighten up a lot better for control there's too much slop the Mojave needs inner fenders to keep all the drit out of there lol 😆

Just bought the fireteam on sale for 399
Where?
Where 😂
Mojave the best..It a tank..
The real difference is the a arms
I feel the fire team isn't as good as the mojave.
Mojave is better.
I don't like military design.
Hand’brake’ 🤦♂️
Wow 7th comment
Neither. Wasn’t impressed with the Mojave in its durability so I doubt the FireTeam is better
Mojave
1,000 is 100 weight
Shout out sir bot's rc car tv.. Thanks
Handbrake*
Can we get a shout out
before i watch, mojave is better
Mojave stomps everything into the ground. Fight. Me.
The
Handbreak ??
It's a Handbrake!!!

Do NOT like the body of the Mohave.
So id buy the Tirefeem .....
Can you put the hand brake on the Mojave?
Not without modification to the chassis, or maybe just use the Fireteam chassis.
