Never had an issue with Mojave EXB diffs. I typically change the oil and shim them with the included shims before the first run, and they just keep going.

It's funny how people say the regular maxx handles like concrete and then expect the maxx slash to handle like a race brand chassis. This video is an excellent demonstration of the differences. I'm not saying arrma is race grade, but it certainly does handle better.

As an owner of both vehicles I do prefer my Mojave over the Maxx Slash but I don't know that it's a fair comparison showing an exb roller full of your own choice for electronics versus ready to run electronics in the Maxx Slash as it definitely explains the difference in the overall speed mainly from steering experience

[bragilbe]

Exactly as expected, the Traxxas handles like like a dumpster and the Arrma's diff exploded 😂

I love my 4s and 6s Mojave trucks; they handle great and don't roll over as much as the Maxx Slash. I believe when Traxxas finally releases the sway bar kit (10296), it will be a game-changer for this truck.

The only time I've had issues with the Mojave EXB diffs is when the bolts come loose on the bulkhead or I cracked a bulkhead. Max 6 and 1650KV motor 23T pinion. Other than than that, no issues. And the body falls apart in the rear from the rear. Stock tires.

Nice!! I've been waiting for someone to compare these 2 in a real world setting!! Thanks!! A couple things I'd like to share, one, you can use Redcat Kaiju hex adapters with TRX splined wheels, which is indeed a much cheaper option than Vitavon. Another is, I ran my Mojo EXB for over 2 years without a diff failure, K6EXB also.. IDK what folks be doing to say that Arrma diffs don't hold up, unless they're overpowering them? TRX diffs are no better, my brother has a Sludge with maybe 15 packs through it in stock form, rear diff is shot, spider gears.. huh. Well anyway, I like both the Maxx Slash and the Mojo's, but dollar for dollar, either Mojave represents better performance and value IMO. Keep up the great content brother!!👍😎🍻

I’ve never had an issue with my Mojave diffs.
When I got mine, I filled full of fluid, shimmed them and never had an issue. I have a Spektrum 160a esc and a Hobbywing 1100kv running 8s normally. No issues with my diffs.
Plus mine is all m2c’d out so it’s heavy af.

This was a fun comparison between the two trucks. It is always fun to rip two competitive RC's back to back. The track looks great!

Exactly as expected, The Maxx slash is designed like a toy with race chassis prices. The Mojave is designed like race chassis with basher prices. I find Traxxas is like Apple for the most part, if you want to plug and play and only go to the same store with the same products for everything it's your ticket. It works well together but being far more expensive than the regular Mojave and still no sway bars? I am happy they came out with it as finally there's another car other than the UDR for the Mojave to walk all over lol (IMO the UDR, XMaxx and TRX-4 are the only traxxas trucks with looking at. In every other category there's a far better vehicle for cheaper than the traxxas equivalent)

Had the Mojave and had the diff issues. After the third set I fixed it one last time and sold it. Looking forward to a Slash but it's going to need some work. The Body is going to need a lot of vent to stop it from parachuting and the spring/Oil will need to be adjusted as the stock stuff is way too soft. Tires are a given but the stock stuff will be fun onroad.

[CoachD]

I think the Mojave tires on the Maxx Slash on loose dirt is the ticket! Good video 💪🏾💯

[boduke]

I had the same result when running both my 4s and 6s Mojave with the Max Slash minus the diff failure. Only other difference is mine is the regular BLX Mojave 6s not the EXB. I have never had a diff issue and had the truck around 18 months.

[shaunescarlett.]

Great video mate, i personally think Traxxas have not pulled it off with this new Maxx Slash, a poor result considering the Maxx & the Slash are awesome tucks in their own right,
Maybe some F&R sway bars & a wider track would improve it’s all round performance

[connorclark]

I've never had an issue with the Mojave after 3 years. Just body mounts and a pinion gear

[Casitascrawlers]

The Mojave has 2 main weaknesses the diffs & bearings I keep a Fast Eddy’s replaced kit handy at all times & wait for originals to blow out then replace them. From what I hear if you run them on the road a lot that’s what kills the diffs because off-road the tires are spinning & breaking free. Both my Fireteam & Mojave have run almost always off-road & I have had no issues knock on wood.

[Paul-wztm]

I like em both. I'd probably go slash because I've got a few traxxas batteries

[josephphillips]

Both manufacturers put out an awesome product so it’s a win for both in my book 🤩

[Youworstnightmare]

Remember...DON’T JUST BASH. BLAST. ARRMA THOUGH 💪😎

[DHC]

Great video as always. Track performance aside, what about just bashing around? Jumping, sliding etc? My concern is that several other reviews criticize these abilities of the Maxx Slash. Is it fun to drive??!! Also thank you for pointing out that it is a short course truck (or desert truck… etc), and short course trucks don’t drive like other RCs and that’s part of the fun! Is it a good short course truck? That’s my question!
