You have so much fun with our hobby, every time I see your videos my heart melts. Greetings from Germany ❤

[@bigbristv]

Thank you! 😊

[@RyanTucker-jw8dn]

A man after my own heart. I am 48 years old with a 10 year old daughter. I just got into the RC game about 2-3 years ago. I have the Arrma Granite Grom and the Typhon Grom. I was going to pass on this one, but your review has sold me. Just the color scheme alone on yours is really well done. I love that Dumbo RC radio. I have about a dozen RC's binded to one radio. I will have to try a X6FG (Gyro) receiver, as I have just been using X6F's that I get from Aliexpress. Thanks for another great video. I also enjoy your suits, shoes and watches content. I am an Allen Edmonds collector.

[@bigbristv]

A well rounded gent! 😀 If you even remotely like the Granite and Typhon Groms...this one is it! I actually think the Typhon Grom is better suited with the stock brushed system. But this? Oh man. Brought me right back! It dropped the day after I sold my Mojave 4s. 🤔

[@bkfracing8025]

Nice come check me out sometime at BKF racing 🤘🏽🏁

[@Jonn1969]

I think you are the first 2 go brushless on the new mojave grom! Well done ! Awesome vid!!

[@bigbristv]

Not first, but I did it cleaner 😄

[@NUeB_RCFPV]

Your son is a lucky boy with a dad in the hobby! When I saw first vids on the Mojave Grom, I instantly loved it - and ordered one; just gotta wair 2 more weeks or so, 'cos here in Europe we always have to wait for the cool stuff. ;)

[@bigbristv]

I think it'll be worth the wait! There are some for sale already on ebay.

[@Modifier-RCs]

That's a cool rc, but you just amuse me with your excitement of the wheelie it made and how it tills to sides on fast speed 🤙. Love the RC btw 👌

[@bigbristv]

😅 it really caught me off guard how good it is

[@Modifier-RCs]

@bigbristv it's all good, have fun 🤙

Awesome video man! Your excitement is wonderful to hear. And speed running in the city is crazy stressful. New sub here. Can't wait to get my Mojave Grom!

[@bigbristv]

Thanks bro, you'll love it!

[@RCRoads]

I must say the overall look and design is amazing. Not a big fan of the Green Wheels but the tires are awesome. Perfect brushless upgrade performance .. and the body is so so so nice.

[@bigbristv]

Just came home to the clear body I ordered. Time to paint! 😁

Great to see another city basher. I live in a small city in NH. I blast the TLR typhon around city streets. Getting the typhon grom soon. My friend wants one of these.

[@bigbristv]

😁🤙

[@Rek_Rc]

I said the exact same thing in my review about the way it feels so much like the 4s mojave. It's incredible how they duplicate that feeling with the little grom! Awesome work BTW! Earned yourself a new sub!

[@bigbristv]

Thanks man! That HBX comparison you did was spot on, BTW🤙

That little joint was doing 57mph?! 🤯 Nice work Bris! I'm hyped to try out the new Dumbo radio on my little boat today. Same one you got there and it's really nice for the money!

[@bigbristv]

Yeah man, I like this little radio. The extra channels are a bit useless unless used for servos, but the gyro function made my Kyosho MK2 RALLY driveable on 3s 😉

[@scaleworksRC]

@@bigbristv Good idea.. I can just get another receiver and be using one less radio for 2 RCs! 😃

[@bigbristv]

@scaleworksRC precisely! I've got 5 of these now, only one I didn't run on it was the Baja Rey 2.0, it came with the DX3 with a gyro.

[@scaleworksRC]

@@bigbristv Nice! Yeah that Baja Rey is a whole other level 😁

[@marcus1438]

Can’t wait for mine 😎😎

You're gonna love it bro 😁

[@clarkkent317]

They do o.k. on the track. I ran mine stock last Sunday. Looking to upgrade soon.

[@bigbristv]

They are pretty good stock, but they do run hot and the stock fan is weak.

[@James.._]

That rips! Great vid👍

[@bigbristv]

😁

[@warehouse1429]

Cool video! I’m in the same boat. I got into planes lately and still have all my cars and trucks. I got this little truck coming in the mail tomorrow. Same color. Man I might have to go brushless like you did!

[@bigbristv]

Thanks, you're going to love it!

[@steelcityhero1994]

Mine just showed up today, its great to rip around on the road in front of my house, but I definitely need a speed upgrade soon.

[@bigbristv]

This thing is a little BEAST on 3s 🤯

[@boduke9428]

Same. I ran it with the stock system just for kicks. The wife and kids liked it so much now I have to order another one to leave stock for them.

[@clarkkent317]

I'd love to see that again on some slicks with more space. I think she'll break 60. Keep up the good work bro.

[@bigbristv]

😁

[@nj2033]

Fantastic video!!! Thank you!!!

[@bigbristv]

Glad you liked it!

[@mosrcz]

I’m waiting for mine to arrive later on this month in the UK. Just in case I upgrade it, I have taken note of the motor ESC combo. Good work 👍

[@bigbristv]

Thanks! Keep tabs on any upcoming updates regarding this combo and how its holding up 😉

[@cwrcwr7432]

Good Lord my man..... you didn't even give that little burner a token first run out of the box and had to tinker and switch things up in minutes!! :)

Awesome stuff Brother 😱. Just got mine 2 days ago and can't wait to break her in. 57 mph is nuts with this scale 😂. Definitely gonna have a look at the 4500 Reddy motor. Love Ovonic lipos too. Absolutely awesome vid!!! Props to ARRMA for keeping this Grom a true Mojave. 🍻

[@bigbristv]

Thanks bro! I know you're gonna send it proper. Just watch your motor temps 🤙

Thanks for the links, I want to see how this thing do with more room but it looks like it’s about to fly!

[@bigbristv]

You bet!

[@Boogie_the_cat]

Best part about Arrma is there warranty service. I had a bad servo and they sent me a new one next day airmail.

[@bigbristv]

Yes, I can attest to this.

[@BeardRubEnjoyer]

I think you broke the speed limit, sir! I did a similar job with my 4S mojave. Clean tires, had it all torn apart for upgrades.

[@bigbristv]

I can't believe how similar this is to the 4s Mojave!

[@MauzyrockRC]

Loves me some arrma!

[@bigbristv]

😁

[@Socalnik66]

Just finished installing some upgrades into my Mojave grom tonight. Installed a Hobywing 4500k brushless motor. Hobbywing esc. Receiver for the FlySky Noble 3. Aluminum steering rack. Aluminum esc tray. Aluminum motor plate. And installed a set of Hot Racing steel drive cups on the diffs. I just trimmed the stock motor heatsink and pinched it closed a little and now it fits the smaller can of the Hobbywing. On the stock battery, she hauls ass now.

[@bigbristv]

😎

[@reconrc1787]

LOL Great video. You seem like a really chill dude. Hey just a thought, you have all that blacktop and concert, dude you need to make that Grom Mojave into a road / drifting truck. Slam it and put some street tires on her.

[@bigbristv]

Thanks 😂

[@bigbristv]

@wikyWargaming thinking of getting the green and the orange

[@guest6423]

Good energy here. Love that you're upgrading right away. It sgoes beyond the cookie-cutter reviews of the stock truck. Keep it up! And if you get the chance, maybe inspect the diff outdrives. Those have been a weak point. I'm hoping they're good now.

[@bigbristv]

Thanks and will do!

[@Socalnik66]

The diff drive cups still come in plastic. The spider gears in the diff are now metal. But the two side gears in the diffs are still plastic. Upgraded to Hot Racing steel drive cups. Hopefully some one will come up with a steel set of side gears to support the spider gears.

[@bigbristv]

@Socalnik66 from what I hear, the updated set actually holds up pretty good 👍

first brushless video ive seen of this car and damn its a lil weapon, question what pinion did you use?

I used the stock pinion. I'm well versed in this...now 😂

Ive preordered one here in the UK and after watching yours haul ass ive ordered a brushless combo for it now aswell :)

[@bigbristv]

😎

[@Shreddylife]

This is such a good setup for this RC, very impressive. Thanks a lot for sharing! By the way where did you get that mount for the servo so you can mount the speed control? I didn't really want to cut that stock one apart when I replace the esc.

[@bigbristv]

I got it on eBay from the seller I showed. It was back in the Typhon Grom days 😂

[@Shreddylife]

@@bigbristv Right on man thanks. I found one on amazon while looking a little bit ago

Are you using the stock pinion? Badass rc car. Runs like it’s big brother.

[@Skylinefurlife32sdiecast]

nice vid definitely gotta buy this grom also how much did the brushless setup cost and do you need to have the dumbo rc transmitter

[@bigbristv]

About 25 for the esc, 45 for the motor. You don't need the Dumbo Rc stuff but you will need a receiver.

[@bigbristv]

I hadn't noticed that 🤔 sharp eye!

[@Casitascrawlers]

Nice this little Mojave looks just like it’s big brothers super fun & easy to control. I plan on doing the same what I was wondering is will the electronics from a Rlaarlo fit in it I have the Desert buggy D12 I think & the Terminator both brushless set ups the Desert Buggy is about the same size so I’m pretty sure the motor & esc will fit. Both are ran on 3s & the Desert Buggy is super fast definitely in the 40’s.

[@bigbristv]

Not sure about the rlaarlo stuff, but the setup I have in there is solid. I've used it on a few rigs now with very good results. Just working on how to keep the motor cool 🤔

[@gamercat7004]

I saw this rc today at the hobby store, and i have the typhon grom, and it's tempting to get the mojave, but I have 12 rc cars. im spending, lol. And wondering arrma would do an infraction grom.

Mine too, but it wasn't the tires' fault. Explains why they don't rip apart on any other rig. Arrma also changed the Senton body because of that. In my Senton Tips video (or maybe the Upgrades video 🤔) I suggest some wheels/tires that worked great for me. And we're cheap, to boot, pun intended 😁
