Arrma Mojave EXB Roller 6s/8s Build! Powered By Castle Creations.

Arrma Mojave EXB Roller 6s/8s Build! Powered By Castle Creations. #mojave
I finally built the Arrma Mojave EXB Roller! For electronics I went with Castle Creations 1717 1650kv motor and a Mamba X8s ESC combo. A Ripple Killer Cap Pack just in case, a cheap 35kg servo off Amazon, a Flysky Noble FGr4 receiver and Lucid RC Motor Fans. I completely serviced the truck including the differentials. I went with Traxxas 1 million weight fluid in the center and 500k front and rear diffs. The motor got a 20t pinion to start, the MMX8s ESC got duel QS8 connectors for running 6s and 8s in series, and then 8mm bullet connectors for a optional external Ripple Killer Cap Pack. This video also includes epic first test run bashing around at the local BMX track with friends and other mods including reinforcing the body with drywall tape and shoegoo. Enjoy!

The Mojave is a Beast! Period! The other day I caught huge air to flat & it cartwheeled & knocked the back wheel right off the rim😳

[@zagertRC]

Dang🤣 I was off-road speed running mine today. Sent it through a soccer net at 81mph, broke a few things and yard saled😆🤙

[@IROC-RC]

I love my Mojave. Definitely the favorite in my fleet!

[@zagertRC]

It's definitely a great platform!

[@RcRelated]

What’s a cap pack for ?? Sorry new to the hobby still learning

[@zagertRC]

Keep ripple to a minimum. It's mostly for when I offroad speed run it.

[@gregorymelvin5675]

God damn👊🤣love it buddy🤣

[@zagertRC]

Thanks bro💪

[@idonotcomplyrevolution]

cheap fix for the drive shafts breaking free, use nitro tubing.

[@zagertRC]

I had some o rings Spacers, but I guess there way too much play. I'll definitely pick up some nitro tubing, thank you😁👍

[@lefthandscott]

Great build, great video 👏🏼

[@zagertRC]

Thank you, much appreciated!

[@mikellewis2346]

For the front I always pull the spacer clips off were the pillow balls screws in and that little bit let the pillow balls go in the a arms more thus bringing the knuckles closer inwards and not letting them pop out. The rear I've never had a problem with unless wrecking hard.

[@zagertRC]

Thats a great idea, I might have to take those off. Thank you!

[@mikellewis2346]

@@zagertRC I have 40+ rigs bro. Trust me it work's 💯. And putting the cvd in the rear is the best idea also. No more lost dog bones, plus it runs smoother.

[@zagertRC]

@@mikellewis2346 Awesome! Yeah at least with the cvd I can't loose them😂 Thanks for the advice 💪

Fantastic video. Totally miss wheel park. Not sure if I’ll ever make videos again like I was but would be fun to get out there with ya! Bad ass build and great edits.

[@zagertRC]

Thank you! Much appreciated 💪 I definitely want to go out more, maybe after winter lol

[@robertshelton2605]

Don's Tech (Banned) channel has a video on making a bump stop for the shocks. Keeps the shock from over extending.

[@ghost61]

where do you get the extra antenna for the flysky

[@zagertRC]

I buy these ones off Amazon for my speed run cars. Then I had a extra stock antenna to throw into the Mojave receiver. Here's the link CORONIR IPEX 2.4G WiFi Antenna... www.amazon.com/dp/B095N2DV2B?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[@ghost61]

@@zagertRC thank you. I’m building a typhon for speed runs and just got the nb4.

[@zagertRC]

@@ghost61 Awesome! As long as my antennas are high up it has really good range. But I've also wanted to do a range extender on the Noble. Maybe soon👍

[@kobebryant9363]

Any problem with stripping the wheels? Or did they fix it on the new version you got.

[@zagertRC]

I heard that's a problem. I tightened my wheel nuts very tight, I haven't had a problem yet.

[@rodneyburrell207]

You appear to be "GooD" at what you do, putting together that ExB! I want to follow your lead! Please keep me posted! Mojave ExB's are becoming increasingly harder to find.

[@zagertRC]

Thanks! And there will definitely be more EXB content! I recently hit 84mph off-road with my Mojave, here's the video in case you missed it👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKvIqWh6ebhpjJI

[@rodneyburrell207]

How do you feel about the spectrum platform, running in the exb? I want to run a futaba 6 channel with the exb I'm getting ready to purchase. Do you know if that radio system is compatible?

[@zagertRC]

@@rodneyburrell207 I'm sure Spekrum electronics would work fine with a Futaba reciever. And I think Spekrum is decent for bashing around, I've had a couple systems in RTR's. But I always upgrade to something better. I'm a fan of Castles data logging and tuning features.

[@traxxasUDR]

What system is that called and how much did you pay for it am thinking of doing that to my arrma like you

[@zagertRC]

Castle Creations MMX8s 1717 1650kv combo. The link should be in the description 💪

[@traxxasUDR]

@@zagertRC thank you

[@traxxasUDR]

Beauty soldering and install man. The editing is real nice too. Where do you get your music from?

Thanks! I use Filmora Wondershare for video editing. Music included.

[@atraeuskeenan627]

Can I ask why you run the extra lot of batteries on top of your already running sixers just curious

[@zagertRC]

Are you talking about the battery to my fan?

[@atraeuskeenan627]

@@zagertRC is that's what that's good idea I like it

[@zagertRC]

@@atraeuskeenan627 Yeah it was a new thing for me to try and I like it. My fans drain a lot of battery, so one would die before the other. It's easier to have its own battery

[@Icaro900rr]

complimenti bellissimo. Ho visto che aggiungi dei condensatori in più. A cosa servono?

[@BeautyBeastRC]

Great video bro! which bmx park was that?

[@zagertRC]

It's wheel park out in Aurora, and thanks!

[@chegoune]

quel setup huile de diff ?

[@chimneymanct]

I think vitavon makes some +1mm driveshafts exocaged has a video on them.

[@zagertRC]

I love Vitavon! I'll have to check those out, thanks so much!

[@Northside910]

Nice build what batteries did you go with?

[@zagertRC]

Thanks! I just went with my SMC 9700mah 3s batteries in this video. I have some powerhobby or chnl 4s batteries I want to try and fit😁

[@Northside910]

👍 I’m thinking about putting that same set up with a ripple killer cap pack in my Mojave exb when I take it out of the box but I might go with the talon exb belted wheels I will probably run 6s for a while and then switch over to 8s.💨 how do you like the 1 mill in the center differential and the 500k in the front and rear?

[@zagertRC]

@@Northside910 I think it could be a lil thinner. I'm still trying to figure out the Limited slip diffs.

[@nickvledder]

0:26 Within the r/c community, the r/c car bashers are definitely the most sensitive. 😄

[@ruuster83]

Is that an IPEX4 connector on the receiver antenna? I JUST got 2 of those for speed running and I didn't know i could have DIVERSITY antennas, pretty cool hack!

[@zagertRC]

Sorry I have no idea what the connector is called. I just make sure the antennas run on the same frequency as the reciever 😁👍

[@tcrac3r]

@@zagertRC Where did you get the second antenna from? Thanks

[@zagertRC]

@@tcrac3r I used a spare stock one in the video. But I use these off Amazon in my speed run cars, very good range👍 www.amazon.com/dp/B095N2DV2B?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

@@zagertRC Dude I took one of my mojave's and combined it with the Talion. It took the Mojave to a whole new level and through in M2C and schortched parts and it's like it's on steroids. Lol. I have the 1717 1650kv in mine but I added the vitavon 44T spur gear for the EXB and a 22T pinion. It's a blast on 6s.

Lookfor some drive shaft cups

[@zagertRC]

What are those? Different than stock cups?

[@scottward8446]

You can get sleeves that go over the cups to stop them pulling out which I've seen on othe channels or you can get new shaft cups that are slightly longer to stop them from coming out

@@zagertRC off topic on your dbxle speed run what settings did have on your xlx2. I have tp power 1440kv 5860 sensored and xlx2. Running cnhl 9500mah 18t 48 spur and for some reason cant get over 71mph off road on grass motor timing ia on normal [10]. Ive lowered the gear down to 16t and increased timing higher [15]. Dont know where im going wrong? any advice will be helpful. Stay blessed keep throwing that jelly !!!

[@zagertRC]

@@anime4idiots Make sure low voltage cut off is off on the xlx2. How does data look? Like how many amps and stuff?

[@anime4idiots]

@@zagertRCok i never thought of that as my lvc cut off is on 3.2v. max amp pull is 521 amps on the 18t/48 spur. Max rpm showing 15000rpm. The motor limit states 50,000. I was thinking i over geared as its 6 pole 1440kv tp so ive reduced the gear down to 16t and increased timing to 15 as it was on normal 10. Battery start power is on low, did you change any of the setting when you hit your pb of 94mph

[@zagertRC]

@@anime4idiots Yeah I never went over 1100kv in the losi yet, so I'm not sure. Gotta just keep playing with gears 😁 Also if a smoother surface is possible that'll help. Dried lake beds or turf fields are the best usually
