The only way to properly test it is to get 4 friends with them and rub the stickers off of them for a day 😁👍🏻

[@rcexpatshk]

Haha great I need to make 4 friends then … Cheers for watching.

[@misterts7635]

Thanks for the video, been waiting for a good review of one of these. Beautiful scenery, too!

[@rcexpatshk]

Thanks. You’re too kind sir!

Yowza! Looks spectacular! Like a real mini size Mojave. 20.5 mph from a brushed set up is pretty good. Seems to handle very well and Looks very durable indeed. A very good and to the point review on this. Very well done review. That’s why I love this channel of yours. You don’t run them to break’em , but you definitely run your cars the way most people will. Your musical montage was enjoyable as well! Great job my friend! 🙌😎👍🏻🏁🔥🔥🤘🏽

[@rcexpatshk]

Thanks Robby. I always appreciate your comments and viewing. Means a lot to me. I’m glad you enjoyed the vid. And yes I don’t go out to break anything. Sometimes it just happens. You know as I do. Making vids is just filming ourselves having fun with RC as we normally would off camera. 🍻

[@davidhiles1631]

Damn it!!!! Is it Christmas yet???? I want it ....Arrma in UK probably be waiting months!

[@rcexpatshk]

Hope you can get it soon ! Thanks for the watch and comment

it will be Xmas by the time we get it in UK so your Xmas wish may come true.😁

[@Centurio-LegioX-Equestris]

I got the red version recently. Good looking and a quality build. Not very fast though. And eventually I will have to buy a real charger. I will say I am very happy with the buy.

Yeah, that doesn’t come with a metal driveshaft

[@SteveSoper1979]

The being brushed is a pretty big downer. Who is actually releasing rigs anymore with brushed motors? They're terrible and they burn up all the time. Worse yet is that it's a 2 in 1 system. If it's a 2 in 1 system with brushless, I'd live with it. But as it is now, if you ever want to go brushless because you're tired of replacing burned up brushed motors or if you want more speed and want to go to brushless, now you have to replace everything. Motor, ESC, Receiver & Transmitter. That a just sucks. Here's what you do if you have another rig around this size you don't care about. ex: I have a 1/16 Losi buggy I'd gladly swap for this. So you buy this, swap all electronics from your existing rig with the brushless setup, put the brushed setup in your older rig and pray someone will buy it. SMH.

[@pyromaniatic706]

Aww man.. what's wrong with the Mini B?...

[@ryanhoxsie980]

​@@pyromaniatic706nothing will beat the B and T in handling.

[@W33N1S]

Are you gonna do a comparison video with the Mojave Grom to the Typhon and Granite Grom’s?

[@rcexpatshk]

If the opportunity presents itself I’d love to. I don’t have the other 2 groms though. Maybe someone I know has them…thanks for the idea and thanks for watching .

[@MechanicallyFun]

Cool vid👍 just curious about the size comparison, would you say it's the same size as Tamiya TT02 or smaller? Thanks🙏🏼

[@rcexpatshk]

Hi the TT02 has a 257mm WB this Mojave Grom WB is only 196mm. Hope that gives you a relative size comparison. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.

[@MechanicallyFun]

@@rcexpatshk thanks for the reply, appreciated🙏🏼

[@SweetTooth10]

I don’t trust the spectrum batteries. I’ve had two 6s esc’s and one 8s esc burn out on me from using those.

[@rcexpatshk]

I don’t have too many. The Spektrum battery from the Mini LMT did stop working though after 3 charges….😖 Thanks for watching and sorry about those esc’s

[@alantaylor353]

I'm just not convinced... £145 here in the UK. That's around £45 more than a 3S brushless MJX which has also proven its durability & performance. We also have official MJX suppliers in the UK so parts aren't an issue. Also, Grom upgrades are waaaay over priced.! The red/black Mojave does look very good though.! Stay safe out there mate & the very best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️ 👍 👍 👍

[@Boogie_the_cat]

MJX 16th scale have monkey metal diffs and spurs. Mine lasted less than a month on 3 different vehicles. The plastic spur on my Granite has been going for over 6 weeks with no sign of wear. Arrma has excellent warranty service as well. I had a problem with my Felony receiver and after two emails they shipped me a new one, next day air. I had some screws fell out of my MJX 14th scale, including steering link screws, they said they'd send me some, I'm still waiting a month later.

[@sons-braddalton]

150$ is not high dood 😂

[@i4nic256]

Does the inner body shroud help keep dirt out of the electronics?

[@rcexpatshk]

It actually helped keep some out but obviously not all . There was some dirt in there but not as much as my other RCs which I also run there . Cheers for watching

$149 is RRP. If lucky you may find smaller hobby shops selling slightly lower. Good luck hunting and enjoy !

[@coyotex850]

how big is this compared to the 12th scale wltoys 124008 you reviewed?

[@rcexpatshk]

In terms of total body size including the wing of the 124008 they’re roughly the same size. Not much in it tbh. Bare in mind the WL toys is a buggy which are usually smaller than shortcourse of same scales

[@keithbonnet1128]

Cool vid mate...i like the look of this one. may be too expensive in UK though with no parts availability.

[@rcexpatshk]

Thanks a lot mate

Roughly 1:16-1:18

[@timyip-qs8oi]

I have to admit it, although it doesnt seem fast it does look very tempting! When are these going to be available to buy?

[@rcexpatshk]

I bought this one myself. If you’re in Hong Kong there’s a link in the description box. Otherwise I would reach out to your normal HH suppliers. Cheers 🍻

How big is it really put side by side with other groom arrmas

[@rcexpatshk]

Slightly larger looking due to the shortcourse style body…

How do you clean it after running it on dirt?

[@rcexpatshk]

Spray can of water a fine bristle brush, dry with towel and finish off with the wife’s hairdryer in hard to reach spots !

[@K5_RC]

Just found your channel for the first time! So far, your content is exactly what I love to watch! Straight to the point, all the main talking points, and some fun footage at the end. And even the little stuff like the kph to mph conversion (I was on my way to Google when I saw kph) is the kind of detail I love! Keep it up! I can't wait to get my hands on mine! It's gonna live in perfect harmony with my Mojave 4S and Mojave 6S. Looks like it lives up to the Mojave name!

[@rcexpatshk]

Thanks for watching and the kind comments. Sometimes I do forget the little details so forgive me 🙏🏻 If you already have the big brother Mojaves you are gonna love this one as well. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did . Thanks again !

Can you change the tires ??

[@rcexpatshk]

Tires come pre-glued onto the wheels. If you could get them off and find something else to fit on the wheels I can’t see why not. Probably easier to find a similar sized wheel and tire you prefer though .

[@RoughRidezMI]

Can it handle 3s?

[@rcexpatshk]

No. Is a brushed system rated at 2s only unless you want to see 🔥
