Blown away b;y the attention to detail you have. This video is exactly what i needed to see to help me guide my own choices when selecting all the electronics and such for my build. Just bought the EXB version, super excited! Seriously well done on the segments within this video, answered many of my questions.
Likewise! Also, I love that the speed runs are done off road, it makes so much sense! Would love to have seen a couple of speed runs on the asphalt as well. Great filming and an awesome video.
Man, that thing is a BEAST! Personally, I would leave the center diff as is. With 8s, it would probably become uncontrollable, near impossible to keep the front down. Another great video, thanks!
The mohajave. Is a nice truck. It can handle cures. It turns on the dime. It rides over curves like nothing. I have the 2200kv max6. 22tooth. Pinion. I got the exb. Version.
Awesome conversion! Pro step by step explanation. Always love watching what you do. Nothing puts smiles on faces like an arrma. They’re just special! The Who’s better question doesn’t apply. It’s all about having fun!
Cutting aluminum and steel with a fiber disc and sand disc is exactly what it's made for. Love the "eye " protection. It's so easy to lose an eye. I've seen those disc fly apart.
Yes! Locktite on that wheel nut, drill out a piece in the wheel, or extended wheel hexes. That is a problem with the mojave. But loctite seems to work just fine
@@surfside75 i shoulda said dremel but there are some areas in the wheel you can remove material to minimise rubbing but i would rather keep all of my wheel.
Man I've learned so much about rc's from watching you my pps motor mount will be here tomorrow for the kraton8s and now I no what to do with my kraton esc and motor mojave thanks bro.
I got my mojave blx out for its first run today. 15 mins was awesome loved it sooo much. Went home, put the battery on charge, cleaned it up. Took it back out and , no steering no throttle , just a flashing red light. Couldn't work out the problem after hours. So sad today.
That's cool.....when things start opening up maybe race it around a short course would be interesting to see it in some turns and jumps......keep up the content.
I wouldn't ever run that thing on anything less then 8s! That thing soaks up the bumps and the gear ratio in the front differential it's perfect to keep the front tires from ballooning. I would set it up strictly for 8s cool video. Would like to see more videos of it running like that
That's awesome! I knew this truck would benefit for a bigger motor but 8s 😱 The reason the wheel nuts keep spinning off is because the hubs are right up to the inside of the wheel. You need about a 2mm wider hex and it stops that issue 👍
Bigger is always better in most cases. That Mojave with the Bigblock is awesome...I'd leave it in there. I have a 1/8th Puller Pro 4274S in my "Killer Wasp TRX4". I'm told it has roughly a1/6th size staggered 4-pole rotor. How does John Holmes do that?...I think it's magic...John might be a wizard. Hahaha.
U know I was going add to the rc family well it happened. And it wasn’t the bomber . I had a really tough time making up my mind lol I ordered some Rpm skids and bumper . And yap I’ll need to order up some your stickers soon too On my arrma kraton 6s v5 .
Awesome man!!🤙🏽 Maybe an idea to paint the wheelnuts bright red or something. Just to be able to spot them easier in the grass or dirt when you lose them.👍🏼👌🏽
You found the nut holding the camera!!?? Haha jk, great find my friend! Been a few times looking for 12mm lock nuts in the parking lot!! Stay safe brother!!
The stock hexes are too short, causing the wheel to hit the hub. M2c makes +2 hexes to prevent that. Put some talion katars on it and go hit that jump. You might be surprised at what that truck does 👍
you know the Raminator has a 24mm hub... i wonder how the stock kreaton 8s can manage with them giant rim and tire package. i wonder oh how i wonder.. i wish there was a you tuber can be inspired to do such crazy things.. lol ;) pretty please? much love from california!
@@ExocagedRC im probably going to buy the raminator rim and tire package for christmas which i expect will brake my kreaton drive train.. which means upgrades.. you know how it goes.. lol
that motor was a bit to heavy for the scale of that rc, maybe something with more torque than the stock but not something that needs a massive heat sink.
You should take some plastic or something an try to close off the bottom of the body to the frame so air can’t get in an lift then front end would probably fly!
Love your Mojave 8S conversion. Really moves😱 Can I ask, why does putting thicker oil in the center diff help with willies? What weight would you recommend in the center when it comes stock with 100k?
Hmm... My stock Mojave motor and ESC gets up around 180°F (I would post up thermal images if could add them to comments). I'm guessing the massive heat sink + fan is the only reason 8S is even remotely possible. But it was nice to see what it could do with a bit more juice. Just not sure it's worth the squeeze since the stock system seems to get roughly the same top end.
@@timt1346 less heat, less motor bearing issues, bigger motor runs easier ( usually ) I've also put in the Vitavon diff cases to keep the gears alive. Most of my mods on any truck is very methodical, durability always comes first and a bigger motor moves things easier. Plus I can 8s it for when I want to get stupid with it.
@@ExocagedRC do they make larger cans in 6s size that's not just a KV change? I think I'd like to stick with 6S for simplicity (I run 12S systems in my big helicopter and I hate messing with multiple batteries). My big worry is that if the stock motor gets over 180°F it'll start to kill the stator wires. I'm probably going to look into a heat sink with a fan. It works well on the ESC (until it gets clogged with grass). So far I'm pretty happy with it even on 3S. I may buy some 4S packs that can eventually be used in a Kraton 8S if I decide to get one down the road.
@@timt1346 Poseidon ued to have a 2200kv 1717 size motor and it was super awesome, I'm not sure if they still make it or not. The 1650 is good but needs more gear to be fast like stock.
Anyone know what the largest pinion he could go on this setup? So I guess the question is what’s the largest pinion that will fit with a exb motor mount and stock 50t spur?
Front the point of view of someone who watch your videos, i would like to see you run those cars on a local track. Open field run is not exciting, my humble opinion. Thumbs up.
Been debating doing this myself and have been surprised no one has done the swap sooner. Was the 20t the biggest you could fit? I was planning on using a 22t and running 6s
Mr Exo if you had a choice which one would you use the Castle sensored 1650kv? or the Castle sensored 1717kv ? Would the 1717kv be pushing the thresh hold closer on the ESC?? Keep up the epic work!!
Exocaged RC - I was hoping you would make a video with the Kraton motor in the Mojave and you did. Another amazing video. Question do you think the Castle Creations Mamba Monster X 8S would have gave it better top end and torque? If yes I think I want to pair up the Monster X 8s with the 1650kv motor. Which brand1650kv motor would you pick?
a 1650 of any brand would wake it up way more than you see in this video, I'm hoping to get the new Castle sensored 1650kv and monster x8s esc when thats released
So I think I’ve got it narrowed down for my next rc purchase. I’ll ask here though. Xmaxx or Mojave? I’ve got a trx4 trx6 slash modded to the moon and a granite blx.
@@ExocagedRC I’ve wanted an xmaxx since I got back into rc’s just figured I should start smaller. The Mojave looks so awesome and tough too it makes it tough.
yeah I'm a bit worried about them too, tires are also on my radar. I hopefully soon will have some vitavon aluminum cases for the diffs to keep them together

I love the Mojave so much.
Big thank you from France for taking care of him with a good big 8S under the body.
Awesome conversion! Pro step by step explanation. Always love watching what you do. Nothing puts smiles on faces like an arrma. They’re just special! The Who’s better question doesn’t apply. It’s all about having fun!
that's it man, fun is the reason we do this
I like watching these larger scale vehicles in action. Good content.
Cutting aluminum and steel with a fiber disc and sand disc is exactly what it's made for.
Love the "eye " protection. It's so easy to lose an eye. I've seen those disc fly apart.
Right on
Great video, love how you also show comparisons. Thanks! And subbed.
Will be helpful for my conversion.
Yes! Locktite on that wheel nut, drill out a piece in the wheel, or extended wheel hexes. That is a problem with the mojave. But loctite seems to work just fine
thank you
Drill out what piece on the wheel, I don't understand?
@@surfside75 i shoulda said dremel but there are some areas in the wheel you can remove material to minimise rubbing but i would rather keep all of my wheel.
WOW!🤩🤩🤩 that truck was made for 8s! It looks great. Super stable.
yeah it really was made for 8s, it handled it way better than I thought it would
Haha 😜 that my setup in my mojave exb right now. I just used few times on 6s. But no use that motor fan I used ones that I make by my self..
Man with the 20t pinion and 8s you turned that Mojave into a BEAST🚀🔥🚀🔥 👍🏻👍🏻 Great Video and Great content 👍🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻 Thanks for sharing 👍🏻🤙🏻
Get Team Associated Rc8 +2mm wheel hex so you don't keep popping off the wheels. Solid cheap fix 👍
Is this a direct fit?
Or m2c double locking wheelnuts
Man I've learned so much about rc's from watching you my pps motor mount will be here tomorrow for the kraton8s and now I no what to do with my kraton esc and motor mojave thanks bro.
Sick, sick sick EXO!!! Thanks for showing us the mods to make this swap easy. "Clear for take off!!"
I got my mojave blx out for its first run today. 15 mins was awesome loved it sooo much.

Took it back out and , no steering no throttle , just a flashing red light.

So sad today.
Absolut insane. I love the arrma. 4s 6s always fun to drive. Soaks up everything. Amazing rig. To be honest: The most fun car i ever owned....
Yeah this is a really good one
That's a well designed truck. Nice job!
nice play,
Thanks Exocaged RC show us so awesome play!
M2C hexes for the mojave to stop the wheels from turning the nuts off ;)
That's cool.....when things start opening up maybe race it around a short course would be interesting to see it in some turns and jumps......keep up the content.
Yaaaas!👍🏿 EXO you're definitely have to keep spare tires for it on 8s.
The power of the truck is amazing.
Nice , arrmas are great to build I hope Robinson eventually machines hardened gears
Amazing idea thanks for always making the best content on TH-cam. I’m gonna do this instead of selling the setup when removed. Wow 🤩
yeah man you'll love it
That’s got some grunt!
Nice ! It sure made that Mojave come alive ! 👍😀
Real nice run, sometimes run my losi sbr on 8s
Good video 👍 that's 2 thumbs up from me lol
Awesome thank you!
I should NOT jump it .... Smash. Lol. Story of my life. Plug back in and try again. Beautiful

Thanks for the info on that, I'll look into that
Crazzzzzzzy. So nice!
Now this is intresting. I mentioned putting that system in an 8th scale truggy. Glad you did it i knew itd be beast !!!!
oh yeah it would be awesome in there, you may want a 1650kv so its still quick on 6s
8S Mojave? Insane!!!
Bigger is always better in most cases. That Mojave with the Bigblock is awesome...I'd leave it in there.

John is a living legend for sure
Love the content joe! Not bad for a crawler guy.... the mojave is a solid rig with tons of potential. Keep it up love the channel bro!
thanks, I have more stuff on the way for it
Very nice upgrade the Mojave
sure can take it! I run a SSS5694 motor and it is insane 👊👍✌️
Damn you, making me want a Mojave now...
dude this is an awesome truck!!
Oh. I love how it lifts at high speed.
I think you can put some fishing weight (25gr) on the front....
We use them with crawlers to go better on steep walls...
Excellent video, very well put together!
Holy chit mon! Pretty sick! 😆 I'm loving the Mojave more and more but I already have 8 Arrma 6s RC's...smh. One more??
U know I was going add to the rc family well it happened. And it wasn’t the bomber . I had a really tough time making up my mind lol I ordered some Rpm skids and bumper . And yap I’ll need to order up some your stickers soon too On my arrma kraton 6s v5 .

Bad a$$ bro! Thank you for costing me more money!!!
Subbed, great content.
lol thank you for subbing!!
Dang that’s a sweet setup
Awesome brother ,and the facts that this swap makes sense ❤️ Keep going bro
"Don't yank it off" Quote of the day!
That was awsome video keep it up
Wow, this Mojave is a monster.
You found the nut holding the camera!!?? Haha jk, great find my friend! Been a few times looking for 12mm lock nuts in the parking lot!! Stay safe brother!!

LoL I haven’t even seen a Raminator in person.

@@ExocagedRC im probably going to buy the raminator rim and tire package for christmas which i expect will brake my kreaton drive train.. which means upgrades.. you know how it goes.. lol
The speed run you are getting I'm getting that off the 6s stock motor
Yep stock motor is really good but this one can run that as well as stay a bit cooler.
Love it love it love it I want to change my typhon to a rally car
Omg that 8s is insane
Note to self don't buy green! Lol thanks for the tip can't believe it survived that landing!
LoL yeah man. Green is hard to see from a distance. Shoulda got the red one.
Exocaged RC the red one looks better too imo🤗 I love the blue on the hood
@@ExocagedRC Nuts is right! Good stuff 🔥
Maybe Put a light bar on the front...
Ebay has the red Body and red roll cage and the 2 figures and red wheels and tires cheap like 130 for the body and characters alone brand new
I love it great job man
Wicked awesome
Another awesome mod video. Love your rigs man.
Try out those belted badlands 2.8 for the Mojave. I found out they fit perfectly for the Mojave with the 17mm hexes for the wheels
I put gorilla double sided tape to put under the esc. Strongest tape I've used. But also put those plastic ties just to make sure it dont go anywhere
that motor was a bit to heavy for the scale of that rc, maybe something with more torque than the stock but not something that needs a massive heat sink.
I always upgrade my straps.
its sweet just the way it is stock
yeah it really is a great truck in box stock form
You should take some plastic or something an try to close off the bottom of the body to the frame so air can’t get in an lift then front end would probably fly!
kinda like the airdams that are used on SCT trucks
Sick bro love it 😍😍😍
Imagine a 1600kv xmaxx motor on 8s in that beast!!
Love your Mojave 8S conversion. Really moves😱 Can I ask, why does putting thicker oil in the center diff help with willies?
What weight would you recommend in the center when it comes stock with 100k?
What pinion gear? And spur gear. I just put the spectrum 8s with 20t pinion. It’s not as punchy. Won’t do wheelies?
I put the spektrum 780kv motor in my limitless
thats such a low KV, why not a 1650kv on 8s?
I put that same esc/motor what weight oil you runnin in shocks n spring plz.I really like your videos a lot of good info.
Why go 8s? I think stock seems powerful. Does it deliver quicker acceleration? Asking because I’m considering the EXB variant. No Hate. It is Cool.

I think some are using a 23t, it appears my adjustment was about maxed out with this 20t, but I'll try a bigger pinion as soon as I can get one
Mines 8s 18 t pinion but I put bigger wheels on its dose 87mph on hard pack dirt its a wmd
Wow that’s fast!! I don’t think I’ve hit 60 yet. You using the stock motor on 8s?
Love my Mojave awesome truck, cool vid have u tried it stock with speed pinion they supply? I have yet to dare it lol 🤟
I didn't heck it was fast with the small one lol

They are both the same motor and physical size of 1717. I will hopefully have the sensored 1650 and another monsterx 8s esc soon.
Better add some brass to keep those front tires down
Now you need to keep it like that and start sending it like Rich Duperbash and RC dude 81
Love this! I'm building a max 6 with 1100kv Mojave. I want to keep the diff oils light, any advice on weights?
More stable with the big block
nice build. do you have a link for the fan on the motor?
I’m so stoked my Mojave is coming soon and I have a Kraton 8s system waiting for it. I wonder how it would do with 20M in the center diff?
The wheels plastic hex strips when you power up the Mojave. Common problem the plastic is to soft!
Interested to see how long the diffs last!
try with a set of paddle tires..
8s and 20T pinion that thing should be doing nearly 70 mph super easy. So what do u think the problem with it is?
Traction
Sick idea bro. Have you had any problem with the front or back diffs? And how's the center diff holding up?
Looks like a bigblock in an s10 on wet pavement. Lol
lol
