Very impressive comparison Jay. Now you made me look at it in a different prospective. The firestorm imo is better from what I can see in the video. Better handling for sure.
Nice comparison, I guess it come's down to what ever floats your boat, I have a Mojave and love it & would love the Fireteam in a different way> Mojave track, Fireteam Mud & Bash, but that's just me.
Once you drive it you know what it can do. The ebrake allows me to get through tight corners on the track quicker than the Mojave. Both on the track I still prefer the handling of the mojave but man the Firestorm is close. Will we be seeing you out at any of the Horizon events this year?
I personally think one of the biggest disservice to the Mojave is the stock tires & suspension adjustment. I hear people complaining so much about how it's prone to rollovers & the wheel hex issues. First thing I did was add M2C HEXES and proline badlands to my RTR & trenchers to my 8S EXB *both belted* and it's a totally different driving experience from the stock setup. They both stay planted, aren't prone to tip as easily & air control is improved as well👍🏽❤
@@BeautyBeastRC still notta fan of the stock rubber. Stance is too narrow & compounds too soft for my liking personally. Talion Katars are a good swap as well 👍🏽❤
@@cacanjacowans540 method rc just came out with some great belted tires that fit mojave perfectly. Probably a great option for truggified typhons too. I'm going to test them out today but everyone who used them so far are impressed.
Really like the dune buggy look. Just can't justify another truck since I already have a Mojave with Kraton suspension. Maybe a body and mounts in my future from like Jennysrc.
Would like to see how the fireteam performs next to the Losi Super Rock Rey. About a $50 price difference and 1/7 vs 1/6 but the Losi is quite the measuring stick.
What happened to the Cobra Guy's 😁👉 Another Awesome Video My Friend 💯 I Really Like the Fireteam Looks and the Mojave is still a Great SCT ✌🤠👍 HFLPRCing 👍😎👍 AOAH 🙏 SSPH Brother
@@gowerski no when it's time to bash it's a tossup between my kraton and my maxx. Fireteam is a sick rig for sure. Realistically it's not a bad price if you look at what it would cost to buy a Mojave exb and the electronics to get it going
Hey Jaytee long time subscriber here…. Great comparison! Just curious as to how you record such awesome video footage… cell phone? GoPro? Keep up the amazing work!
@@JayTeeRC for sure Arrma tough!!! You did it with the xmaxx!!! Pavement landings are the ultimate test and at the end of the day we all want to know what these rigs are capable of especially when it’s a new release even though 95% of the parts came from other rigs.imho of course 🤪
@@JayTeeRC I don't even know what that is......lol I just got into the Hobby but I only really like Arrma vehicles. I have the Felony and Mojave and want this next then the Infraction
Right now, I'd choose the Mojave BLX/EXB over the Firestorm. That Firestorm looks a little wack unless it's that camo-white version and I'm not feeling those stock wheels but it looks great with aftermarket wheels though. I'll have to see more in person.
Really like this Fireteam rig the more I see it running. I think the white version pops on video a little more. Wish there was an EXB roller version, like the Mojave. Might just wait for that to drop.
Same. Just bought a mojave few days ago and your videos part of the reason lol. I'd have been slightly mad if fireteam had exb right when I bought mojave. By the time they drop one I'll be ready to spend more money though haha.
@@BeautyBeastRC knowing arrma it won't be long before they drop either a exb RTR or maybe a roller but they know if they drop it RTR it will still sell to both noobs and tinkerers
They developed the fireteam out to squash the Losi Rock Rey. I believe they accomplished this, the fireteam appears way more durable and of course it's way cheaper cost wise.
Great comparison run there Jay, Always liked the Mojave but in all fairness if it comes down to which one i would go for then it would be the Firestick 🤪 for sure as i feel it has much more potential for bodies like you said & other tasty upgrades etc ☺️ so you have sold one to me right here mate 👌🏼
Nice comparison of the two. I so badly wanted to not like the Fireteam thinking it's the same as the Mojave. Well that's out the window🤣 that looks like a different animal to drive right there and your reaction to the drive... im very impressed with the Fireteam🔥😍🍻
Gee... The EXB comes with a 16 t pinion but when I fitted it with the 1650kv max 6 set up.... It was awful... Really slow for me... It was nothing like yours with the 2050kv... 🤔 Maybe that is what was wrong. I ran mine for 5/10 minutes and had to stop. It now has a 20t pinion and it now goes like yours. I take it the 1650 is more torque. I soooo have to get the fireteam it's great.
Why are you surprised... The Mojave with that trophy truck design layout, definitely should not be able to out handle a wider, more stable, fully independent suspension off-roader.
@@bryannoble6634 they may add to structural integrity of the rig but they make the car look cheap & kinda cheesy IMO. It's also gonna be around $90 just to replace the action figures. The entire lid assembly & roll cage is around $230. All I can say is you can bash it but you definitely don't wanna break anything 😬
Mojave likes to squat I stiffened up the back and its way better. Also running a 1650 in mine castle monster mamba . Going to try a bigger sway in back next
If the FireTeam only had doors to cover the terrible looking legs. Even if they were half doors, it would make it look less cheesy. Otherwise, I would have bought it already, now I'm trying to decide if its just worth it to spend more and buy an XMaxx.
I currently own a Revo 3.3 & 2.5R ,Jato,Slayer & Slash all Nitro and the only replacing ive had to do is the plastic pinion gear but let me tell you The XMAXX Destroys all cars in bashing and looks. It was worth the $1500.00 price tag.
For the expense I'd stay away from Arrma. I have done a lot of research and the parts are double other companies and quality the same or less. Their diffs blow every 2 packs, and bearings fall out and fail.
Couldn't agree more! Despite the same lineage, the Fireteam is such a different animal. Great comparison, thanks for sharing!
I saw your videos on it so you know just what I'm talking about :-)
@@JayTeeRC sure do! Handles like a dream, truly different enough to earn the “new” badge.
What Are your top five again
Very impressive comparison Jay. Now you made me look at it in a different prospective. The firestorm imo is better from what I can see in the video. Better handling for sure.
It's funny to see the truck hook up. Since I received mine we've had snow., so I have never had any traction.
Great video.
tks! I did watch ur videos and pretty cool!!! them tires you added looks good!
@@JayTeeRC The RC4WD tires look great and did really well in the trails. But that's all I will be using them for.
Nice comparison, I guess it come's down to what ever floats your boat, I have a Mojave and love it & would love the Fireteam in a different way> Mojave track, Fireteam Mud & Bash, but that's just me.
I agree
Fireteam gets here in a day or two, don't have a Mojave yet. You're vids are great tanks for another one brother.
Glad you like them!
They both handle great! The Fireteam seems to get over the grass much better 👌
yep those larger tires
Great vids,what losi body fits on the fireteam?
3xle. see my video on it
@@JayTeeRC thanks
They both look good. Decisions decisions😊
It would be a hoot for you to do a video of your complete collection of ground RCs….. I think your subscribers would love it …… just a thought 👍🏻👍🏻😎
Once you drive it you know what it can do. The ebrake allows me to get through tight corners on the track quicker than the Mojave.
Both on the track I still prefer the handling of the mojave but man the Firestorm is close.
Will we be seeing you out at any of the Horizon events this year?
Definitely the Mojave, if I was a 🏌🏽 golfer it would be the Firearm 🤟🏽
Fireteam is a refreshing change I've been waiting for .
Great comparison video Jay Tee, thanks!
Where the BMX track at as well? Help me out JayTee
Yep great comparison I know which one I want now thanks
i just got the firefighter
Arrma did a great 👍 job with this one it's just a bit more expensive than I like. Mojave chassis with Kraton arms and new tires and body = stability
Exactly what I wanted to see but you already know that!!!
You should do a top 5 video since you only mentioned 4 of your 5.
coming#)

Hexes got fixed on mojave wheels a while ago.

Still trying to find a skatepark to bash at in Atlanta. Just moved here from Miami two months ago and all my cars have been sitting idle ever since
Really like the dune buggy look. Just can't justify another truck since I already have a Mojave with Kraton suspension.
Maybe a body and mounts in my future from like Jennysrc.
Really like the way the Fireteam looks. Does the sevo mount bend/twist? Any upgrades you feel are essential?
no bends yet😊
Definitely needs a chassis belly brace because stock chassis bends too easily only 3.7mm thick and not 7075 aluminum
Both of them are badass arrma rocks
Nice run. Both are cool.
Would like to see how the fireteam performs next to the Losi Super Rock Rey. About a $50 price difference and 1/7 vs 1/6 but the Losi is quite the measuring stick.

What happened to the Cobra Guy's 😁👉 Another Awesome Video My Friend 💯 I Really Like the Fireteam Looks and the Mojave is still a Great SCT
✌🤠👍 HFLPRCing 👍😎👍 AOAH 🙏 SSPH Brother
I like the Fireteam over the SCT. It's smooth, tracks and handles well. You
mentioned 4 out of your top 5, which is your 5th?
I actually like the fireteam as a buy it and leave it alone kinda rig. I'll always choose my granite tho. Pulled 137mph with her today
yours is a sick truck to be sure, but does it bash?
@@gowerski no when it's time to bash it's a tossup between my kraton and my maxx. Fireteam is a sick rig for sure. Realistically it's not a bad price if you look at what it would cost to buy a Mojave exb and the electronics to get it going
I’m digging that Fireteam right now!
Hey Jaytee long time subscriber here…. Great comparison! Just curious as to how you record such awesome video footage… cell phone? GoPro? Keep up the amazing work!
Wow that fireteam jumps so smooth!
yes it does!!
the performance on the Fireteam is making me wanna buy this.
i can’t wait to see some light kits available 😎.
Nice run. I like the FireTeam.
hey jay do u have vid bout powerhobby raptors 2.8 17mm
yes
That’s a really nice natural jump I wish you would send it when you go flying at it instead of hitting the breaks.🤪
not in this area...landing in the street 😳
@@JayTeeRC for sure Arrma tough!!! You did it with the xmaxx!!! Pavement landings are the ultimate test and at the end of the day we all want to know what these rigs are capable of especially when it’s a new release even though 95% of the parts came from other rigs.imho of course 🤪
@@JPRC_CRAZINESS so you want Jay to break it? No RC is going to take a hard concrete Landing well
@@thomasthetankengine7153 that’s not going to break it🤣 I jump my stock arrma’s on pavement all the time
What is your 5th basher in your top 5?
TLR TT

Two different cars but now I’m deciding between the fireteam and udr. My thing about the udr is that everything hard to get to.
They developed the fireteam out to squash the Losi Rock Rey. I believe they accomplished this, the fireteam appears way more durable and of course it's way cheaper cost wise.
Fireteam is my choice for sure 👊🔥
I’m just waiting on mine to come in stock!
nice!!
I've been looking at both for my next project-bash-track thing. Thanks for the comparisons. Still not a fan of the fireteam body though..
true its ugly and the tires too
ebrake for mojave?
🤔
that fireteam is awesome, would like the white one,mojave is still a beast😀👌👍👍
Great comparison run there Jay, Always liked the Mojave but in all fairness if it comes down to which one i would go for then it would be the Firestick 🤪 for sure as i feel it has much more potential for bodies like you said & other tasty upgrades etc ☺️ so you have sold one to me right here mate 👌🏼
i think that u dont really need the fireteam if you already got the mojave but it definitely has less body roll.
80 weight shock oil Front & Rear
10k front , rear diffs. 200k center diff
Nice comparison of the two. I so badly wanted to not like the Fireteam thinking it's the same as the Mojave. Well that's out the window🤣 that looks like a different animal to drive right there and your reaction to the drive... im very impressed with the Fireteam🔥😍🍻
hehe..yep it's a good one!
Definitely it's own animal.
yep

I give u credit for driving on 6s I ran my 1/8 serpent Truggy on 6s all it did was wheelie and scare the crap out if me lol
😆
Mojave FTW.
Fireteam is amazing 😱👍👍
Why are you surprised... The Mojave with that trophy truck design layout, definitely should not be able to out handle a wider, more stable, fully independent suspension off-roader.
I'm not surprised. But I did want to show everyone this
Like the body style, just don't like the action figures.

tks you too!

Yes I want the firestorm but I am going to build a limitless first.
Let’s go finally
I chose fireteam
Good job. 👍
If the FireTeam only had doors to cover the terrible looking legs. Even if they were half doors, it would make it look less cheesy.
Otherwise, I would have bought it already, now I'm trying to decide if its just worth it to spend more and buy an XMaxx.
I want to see this side by side with an xmaxx
coming
They'll come out with arson team next
MOJAVY
Mojave
Mojave is prob lighter isnt the fire team 13 pounds also wider stance
Like buggy not much fan off the team body
I want to send my Mojave to the moon. I'm unimpressed with it and I think I don't run it hard enough
send it
Still thinking of the zd racing 1/7 scale buggy...
🤔
Put the XMAXX against the Fireteam
😁😁😁...ok
I currently own a Revo 3.3 & 2.5R ,Jato,Slayer & Slash all Nitro and the only replacing ive had to do is the plastic pinion gear but let me tell you The XMAXX Destroys all cars in bashing and looks. It was worth the $1500.00 price tag.
mojave
Maxx V2 or Fireteam......thats my debate right now. Was 100% sold on the V2 and then here comes Armma with he Fireteam. Smh
coming..
GET THE FIRETEAM BRO. :D The new Maxx is sick but just look at this thing! It's already built up almost perfectly right from the factory.
For the expense I'd stay away from Arrma. I have done a lot of research and the parts are double other companies and quality the same or less. Their diffs blow every 2 packs, and bearings fall out and fail.
The plastic moulded figures in both of em look pathetic to be honest
I’m between the fireteam and the maxx
I'd say fireteam
Mojave
