This is a really good Top Gear-esque showcase of what both trucks can do. Recommended for anyone looking into their first short course truck.

@@Rek_Rc My only critique is that I think you shoulda redone the dirt test with fresh batteries in the HBX. Given its performance, I think the bout mighta been closer. But honestly? You were fair to both trucks. No matter which you spend it on, you've got a good pick.

Yes, Top Gear is indeed a game for the SNES from 1992 developed by Gremlin Graphics. It is middling at best, so I'm not sure why you'd compare this video to that game. ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

Just picked up a Mojave Grom today and it’s awesome! It handles super well! It’s really easy to throw it around while maintaining speed. Pretty surprised by the punch on that brushed motor too. It doesn’t leave you wishing for more power.

My buddy has the Grom, I have the HBX. Stock for stock, we found them to be really evenly matched offroad. (I have video of them running together on my IG) Them being pretty equal out of the box, I think, really says a lot seeing as the Grom is still brushed. The Grom has way more potential, in my opinion, but the HBX is a ton of fun and it’s very photogenic; great if you’re a content creator! The HBX on 3S is an absolute blast. I rarely run it on 2S. Also, run the rear shocks on pos.2 and push the front shocks out to the second spot on the control arms, and the HBX handles muuuuch better!

I love my Mojave Grom. I ended up upgrading it with a brushless system and it goes 57mph with a 3S battery on stock gearing 😆 I also installed a receiver with a gyro and it handles even better now too! Such a fun little truck!

I just have to ask, because everyone seems to do what you did... Why not buy the full size Mojave if you're putting that much money into your Grom ? Wouldn't the bigger vehicle be more versatile ? I'm not trying to judge you or be a dick about it.... I just see so many folks putting $300 into a $129 truck, and I can't figure out why. Thanks and happy bashing.
@Rek_Rc4 ай бұрын
I can't speak for others on this, but I can say that in my personal experience, sometimes it's just fun to have a small and completely insane RC that surprises your friends with larger cars . When I "over boost" a small RC, it's for nothing more than hearing "OMG WHAT!" followed by laughing from my friends. But for someone with a ton of power systems laying around, it really doesn't cost anything to do that. For others it can be pricey though.

@@Boogie_the_cat Well because I already own a Mojave 4s with a bunch of upgrades and a Team Associated Pro4 SCT. I just wanted the Mojave Grom because I really have a lot of fun with my Losi Mini B. Once I got the Mojave Grom I had to make it faster because that is what I like to do lol They handle surprisingly well too
