5 Things That SUCK about the Arrma Mojave.

The Arrma Mojave is a 6S powered 1:7 scale short course BEAST! It isnt all sunshine and rainbows though. Here's a list of the 5 biggest things that drive me crazy about the Arrma Mojave.

Every rc truck I have owned needs an upgraded servo

It's fair to mention that if you buy one of these now you'll get the SLT3 radio and an upgraded servo.

I removed the Velcro on the sides of the body and replaced them with magnets. Works great and they slide against each other instead of breaking when the body moves.

hi, i don't own a mojave yet but looking tobuy one. just wondering why some cars have an exposed spur and pinion setup where dirt and crap can get in. Also, the mojave even has a slot in the chasis which directly exposes the spur to dirt. Do you know why?

[wiredforstereo]

So, basically, all your complaints are with the stock configuration, not with the base machine.

[jameswright]

Must be a version 1. The new one comes with the 3 channel duel protocol transmitter and larger servo. Replace the velcro with the Scoth mushroom fastner tape. Motor does get hot but even in the middle of south Texas summers no problems. A fan definitely would be a plus.
My experience is this truck is a monster that runs with the best of them.

Do these tires balloon up i wanted to put these on my typhoon 6s. cant find a set that don’t balloon up n come apart on 6s for all terrain kind off tire

On my Mojave blx it only came with one shim on the ring gear side of the rear diff. I’ve been told adding another one will tighten up the gear mesh and I’m not sure if I want that. What are the pros and cons of adding another?

[jonstevens]

Well dude this is what you need to do. Don't know why you got the first series if you just got it a few weeks ago the second version has the improved radio and it has a heat sink on the motor and I just installed the fan that bolts right to the factory heat sink. When you undo the body clips before trying to pull the body off take the vehicle by its sides and undo the velcro and it comes off so nicely. Haven't had much problem with the servo even though I'll admit a better servo wouldn't be a bad thing. We'll color? Matter of personal choice got the red one and the wheel color doesn't bother me a whole lot.
Not sure why you ended up getting the first version, I've had the second version since December. I know my personal favorite vehicle out of the five that I
It's called the Arrma Mojave.

[NathanStorer]

You're right, about this version of it. I'm pretty sure the current versions come with a better radio at least, and they work with the Smart batteries to tell you how much power you have left. I think they've made other general improvements as well, but not sure they address all of your issues.

i have the v2, has tons of aluminum upgrades, arms, diffs, cvds, shock towers, f/r bulkheads chassis braces, steering rack, f/r hub carriers, perfect pass 56kg servo, castle creations 1515 2200kv running a center spool. it is a badass truck.

[DoubleClutchProductions]

Still love my 1/10 Baja Reys, but been eyeballing these Mojaves lately, look cool.

[dylanwhite]

I think I’m getting swayed to the UDR. I can get one for $550 theoretically or a Mojave around exb for 650 rtr and I’m just not feeling the hassle of the Mojave. I’ve never not had a arrma overheat yet so I think I’ll stick with lighter weight.

[_The_Captain]

lol... I kinda like the color match wheels 😆 They definitely could improve a few areas especially considering the price, but it's a pretty cool truck. I'm considering assembling a Mojave EXB, would anyone out there care to chime in on if it's really worth the added cost of assembling an EXB over the RTR? I'm not a super hardcore basher, but appreciate a well made truck.

[Caleb-wdst]

I wish I had an ARRMA or a traxxas but I can't afford any. Can you get the Absima Assassin 4s and compare its size to a bush light.

[hyytelosammakko]

That servo has metal gears, and that servo horn is aluminium 🙄

[trailerpark]

I just got one. I think they may have addressed some of these complaints. Like mine doesn't have that radio a the motor has a heat sink on it. Things I hate about it, the fan on the esc sucks in trash and stops spinning and the diff gear is open underneath. That to me is a strange design

[charlesreynolds]

Never minded the wheels. Still like them. Car is more than competent as is, however, using Velcro to aid body stability, is a bit of an imaginative stretch. How long did the designers feel that would last?

[beyondgreenthumb]

Arrma Mojave Parts have been updated.

I have the v1. I removed the velcro and put earth magnets on the post to hold the body on. The thing that bothers me the most is how much dirt/grass collects under the body
