5 Things That SUCK about the Arrma Mojave.

Stop complaining

[@10thScaleGarage]

It’s the only thing I’m good at.

[@coreymoore9451]

Every rc truck I have owned needs an upgraded servo

[@joeshow750]

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

[@colinleonard2541]

Yeah

[@10thScaleGarage]

I bought it last week.

[@joeshow750]

@@10thScaleGarage dang you must have gotten one that never sold, cause the V2 has been out for a few months.

[@jonstevens6371]

Plus a heat sink on the motor....

[@SentinelGames]

If you bought it last week, that's pretty rough they sold you the previous V1 model. Did you get it for a discounted price at least? As mentioned by others, the current V2 model, which has been out for several months now, has a much better transmitter and receiver, servo, motor with heat sink amongst other improvements to the overall design.

[@Dirtbiker4life]

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.

[@10thScaleGarage]

Dang. I need to do that.

[@jonstevens6371]

Do you have a link for the magnets ya got?

[@bdussyj]

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?

[@10thScaleGarage]

Hi! The slot in the gear case of the Mojave is at the bottom and covered by the chassis. No dirt is getting in there. Sometimes they are left open so you can easily adjust the clutch. Luckily, the clutch spring on the Mojave is outside of the gear case. I’ve destroyed plenty of spur gears and pinions, none of them were caused by dirt.

[@10krms54]

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

[@10thScaleGarage]

They do, but not bad. You could always get a set of belted tires.

[@goreyboggs]

I bought into arrma when everyone was talking about the Big Rock. I should have got a Maxx. Traxxas is forever😎

[@scottg429]

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?

[@jameswright5572]

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.

[@wiredforstereo]

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

[@Caleb-wd6st]

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.

[@10thScaleGarage]

Ha! I’ve heard good things about that one.

[@michaeljesse1956]

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.

[@johnneshiem2291]

What camara are you using

[@10thScaleGarage]

iPhone 11 Pro Max.

[@jonstevens6371]

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 .......I 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 own...... It's called the Arrma Mojave.

[@10thScaleGarage]

It's a beast, but yeah.... My LHS has been sold out for months and I got the last one they had in their most recent order. That's how I usually take off the body and it ripped off on the first time I took it off. I just couldnt do it in the video because I was filming with the other hand. I love the truck, but I should've got the EXB... I just couldnt resist the green body.

[@jonstevens6371]

[@10thScaleGarage]

Woah. Sick!

[@dylanwhite6539]

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.

[@10thScaleGarage]

The UDR is sweet, but it’s nowhere near as tough as the arrma.

[@dylanwhite6539]

@@10thScaleGarage maybe not, but as a speed freak, I have to say not many RCs are as fun to drive slow as the UDR. Something about watching the suspension work on the UDR is mesmerizing. I’m all but certain the Mojave will perform better at speed, especially in stock form with the UDRs rear spool, and the live axle needs to be respected regardless of its rear diff status (put a rear diff in mine) but that UDR geared up on 4s or maybe geared down a touch on 6s is bizarrely fun.

[@trailerpark187]

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

[@10thScaleGarage]

Yeah, the new versions are much better.

[@kingkeif2406]

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

[@10thScaleGarage]

Yeah, I need to 3D print some fender liners.

[@michaeljesse1956]

[@hyytelosammakko]

[@10thScaleGarage]

Yes.

[@hyytelosammakko]

Then its aluminium arm 😀 It just looks like plastic, but its not. I have four of those same arms.

[@NathanStorer-RC]

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.

[@10thScaleGarage]

I bought mine last week.

[@mikeearls8158]

I have the latest version of the Mojave or the most current version and everything is absolutely updated. The motor came with the heat sink but no fan, it does have mounting holes for the fan. I went through the stock tires pretty quick so I updated mine with pro line raid wheels with hyrax tires.The Mojave truly is a beast.

[@10thScaleGarage]

[@_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.

Arrma Mojave Parts have been updated.

[@10thScaleGarage]

I bought it last week.....

[@CadgerChristmasLightShow]

10th Scale Garage your hobby shop screwed you over bro. They are selling really old stock for the regular price. I probably would bave taken it out of the box in the store to make sure its the newest version before i buy it... and if they dont let me open the box then im going to a different hobby store.

[@dezfan]

Horizon is following the Apple model. Make it priority, make it just good enough to work. And make it expensive! I find myself looking for options to Horizon owned products these days. Axial, Pro Line, Arrma, and Losi used to be high on my list of manufacturers that offered good quality for a good value. Now it’s more expensive, lower quality, and I feel like Horizon wanted the end buyer to do the final R&D and pay to fix their under engineered issues.

[@10thScaleGarage]

Ha ha. Well said. Although I carry an iPhone and an android phone everyday..... And I prefer the iphone! I bought a PC two years ago because I was tired of paying double for hardware. Dang macs.
