ARRMA Mojave 4s bash with 18T pinion gear

[@Tommy018]

Would the car be able to handle that pinion in warmer weather or would I have to get a better fan?

[@OCTEXRC]

It will be able to handle it, but just to be safe, I would say get a better fan. That's what I'm planning to do once it's summer at my place. The stock fans tend to just break after a few couple of jumps and bashing, so it's better to get a new, better cooling fan 👌 It can already reach 50MPH out of the box, but since it's colder at my place and snow is everywhere, I just like to make things slightly faster, so this thing might be a missile once it's dry out here 😅

Max speed with 18t?

[@thepatternforms859]

How’s the acceleration power with the 18 tooth vs stock? I know it’s faster on top end but is it weaker on the bottom end?

[@OCTEXRC]

It's slightly weaker on the bottom end for sure, less torquey. Not by a lot, but it's noticeable. It's great for big open areas that's for sure

@@OCTEXRC thanks! Can you tell me how to adjust the punch to 5? Mine is stock and I have no idea how to do this using the transmitter

[@OCTEXRC]

@thepatternforms859 No problem! There are two ways to change your punch settings. 1. If you have the spektrum programming card, you can use that to plug it into your esc and change your settings to your preferences. 2. If you don't have one, there's another way of doing it, which is on the esc itself. You'd turn on the transmitter first and then the esc. Afterward, you'd hold the set button until it blinks/flashes green rapidly. Then, you'd press the set button once more, and you'll be in programming mode. The number of beeps or green blinks is equal to the number in your programming manual. So 1 beep or 1 green blink is number 1 on the esc settings and so on and so forth. There's a fully detailed video as well if you'd like to check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH6Yh6atfLCUgZIsi=Ucg63WJnyLw6Qvkc

@@OCTEXRC ok cool thanks! Does using punch 5 really make it accelerate all that much faster? I don’t know if it’s worth using 5 or not

[@OCTEXRC]

@thepatternforms859 Yup. It makes it more aggressive when accelerating and helps air control as well. It also helps with wheelies, but the Mojave can barely wheelie since it is a long wheelbase truck but it definitely accelerates faster and feels more aggressive (but that does not mean it makes it faster on the top end). It may also depend on what area you run in. Grass and dirt, you can set it to 5. Concrete roads or such, probably a softer punch such as 2 or 3 to reduce wear on your tires. Think of punch as like a gas pedal on a car. If you mash the pedal, it will go straight to 100%. If you lower the punch, even if you mash the throttle it will smooth it out as if you had smoothly (and a little more gradually) pushed down on the pedal all the way to max rather than an instanteous 0-100% hit.

what's the model number for the pinion gear so I can get one

[@OCTEXRC]

Mine is just off of Amazon from Hobbypark. However, if you'd like to keep the Safe-D5 pinion feature, I have you covered. I believe this is what you need: ARA311001

Thanks so much@C
