    That is such a cool an genius idea to lock everything in turn it upside down an transfers it all over to better a chassis

    Good stuff AJ. I put those chassis braces on mine as well, haven't run it yet though. Took the brake off too, not my cup of tea. Made my stance a bit wider by adding HR Kraton hubs knuckles and stub axles.........got another 17mm width total, maybe a bit more stable....we'll see.
    Again, great video bro.

      We did the video for part 2 and the rig held up nicely, but before we could upload it our computer system crashed taking several videos with it. Needless to say, we were bummed over it.

    not quite EXB... missing the heavy-duty steel turnbuckles, heavy duty front and rear shock pins, heavy-duty front upper steel hinge pins, and most importantly the plated limited slip differentials with wider tooth profile and increased helix angle. But I suppose it's getting there.

    • @AJJAMStudios
      @AJJAMStudios  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There are always small things that differ between the rigs. You are right, of course, "Not quite EXB", but the overall strength of the Fireteam is now much improved, which is a bonus. We are well aware the EXB series is made up of many upgraded components, and we thought about integrating all of them into this video, but the cost would have been way too high overall. This was a way to improve the fireteam without breaking the bank in the process. PS, I am not a fan of the LSD diffs, and remove them most of the time anyway, (Personal preference only). I really appreciate your input and thank you for participating in the comments. 😎👍AJ

    • @jbrc1322
      @jbrc1322 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@AJJAMStudios that's reasonable. Just want to clarify that when you say you remove the lsd diffs, do you mean you remove the lsd plates and replace them with shims, or swap the entire diff for the standard 6s diff? I can't see how replacing the stronger ring and pinion with the weaker design would benefit in any way. Maybe I misinterpreted what you meant.

    • @AJJAMStudios
      @AJJAMStudios  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've done both, and have a video in the works as to how I go about that, but even when I replace the entire diff with the 6s one, proper shimming is key to the differential's longevity. I understand the ring and pinion of the EXB diffs are stronger, but not having lost a diff to that issue tells me the 6s ones still do the job. So, it doesn't matter to me which one I use, because they both work for me. I've purchased some materials that might actually make this easier to switch out, you know, remove the LSD portion altogether, without having to give up the strength of the EXB diff. It's the shimming and the plates that I don't like. I prefer the classic diff setup, it's just a personal preference. Thanks for asking. 😎👍

Will def look into upgrading the aluminum chassis braces over the plastic ones right away as that seems to make sense, but will hold off on the towers and chassis until deemed absolutely needed.

    @danb.4571 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    So now you have +/- $1K into a FireTeam? No way I would describe that as "worth it," just my .02. That said, I do love my Arrma stuff and my Mojave EXB is the best truck I've ever owned, hands down. But that was $549.00 plus electronics and you're not even near the total of EXB parts on that FireTeam. And it's a Mojave RTR chassis with a questionable looking body populated by dolls with guns. Again, I'm a big fan of Arrma but they overpriced this one big-time for what you get. I REALLY wish they would have taken a more Lasernut approach, built Arrma tough, and abandoned their current approach. They would have already had my money, and I'm sure I'd have loved that truck. For me, the FireTeam is a hard pass. Thanks for another great video, and I continue to appreciate your objective and informative videos. I just don't agree on this one.

    • @AJJAMStudios
      @AJJAMStudios  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I understand completely. The idea of worth it is on the premise that you already own the car. Is the upgrade “worth it”. I see how that might get lost in translation. The Fireteam is unusual to be sure and I’m not the biggest fan of its design but it does handle good, it’s fast, like the Mojave, and it’s easy to repair when broken. I love the opinion you shared with us. Thanks for commenting 😎👍
