MOJAVE GROM vs HBX 3100A, which should YOU buy?

[@bloodangelphil]

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]

WOW! What a compliment! Thank you so much for the kind words. I think you just won the pinned comment of the video!

[@bloodangelphil]

@@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.

[@Rek_Rc]

@@bloodangelphil I wanted to, but the other battery for it died, and I believe the second battery was defective. But I would have liked to get a few more laps in with it.

[@bloodangelphil]

Rotten luck, but you did what you could and it still makes for a grand video. Keep on keepin' on.

[@Boogie_the_cat]

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

[@rcfungames]

Excellent video!! Great job at showcasing the two models. And I really enjoyed all the other racing with all those awesome RC cars. You just earned yourself a new subscriber! 🤜💥🤛

[@Rek_Rc]

Thank you! What a nice comment, people like you are who these videos are for, so I'm really happy you liked it.

[@deanmachinerc]

Great video! I just bought the HBX and its gonna be fun! Thanks for all your hard work for this cool channel!

[@Rek_Rc]

It's a great little truck and I really appreciate your comment!

[@jasonh8470]

Great comparison between the two short course trucks. I was contemplating which one to buy. Arrma all the way. Got yourself a new sub. 🤘🏻Your voiceover is top notch.

[@Rek_Rc]

Thank you so very much to the kind words and for taking the time to comment! We truly appreciate it, and every single subscriber matters to us, so thank you BIG TIME for that!

[@raident29]

this is a quality video why do you not have a lot of subs. btw, i subbed.

[@Rek_Rc]

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. Hopefully if I keep grinding, the subscribers will come.

[@Ryan57Garr]

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.

[@Rek_Rc]

I've never been more impressed by a small scale brushed RC

[@Shreddylife]

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!

[@Boogie_the_cat]

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_Rc]

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.

[@Shreddylife]

@@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

[@Shreddylife]

@@Rek_Rc 💯 Spending $140 to make the truck almost three times as fast as a stock one including an upgraded radio was worth every penny imo.

[@Rek_Rc]

@@Shreddylife I'm with you, I like doing things like that myself. I had my Typhon Grom doing 52 MPH just by putting in MJX system in it.

[@Shá_doe]

Just now found your channel, great vids and use of the drone.

[@HolyCannolis]

Good review!! So much carnage in this video too. 😮 Glad no one broke an ankle!!!

[@Rek_Rc]

Tony tried for my ankles a couple times! hahahahah

[@FRANKO-iu3dx]

Thanks. Been thinking about the HBX , I have the Senton 3s already and looks like the GROM will be next. You helped make up my mind. THANKS.

[@Rek_Rc]

I'm glad the video helped. Both trucks are great but the Grom just has a bit more potential out of the box.

[@PaulsPlace]

Incredible video, nice job!

[@Rek_Rc]

Thank you, I really appreciate that very much

[@HumlsHobbies]

Awesome video!! I love my Mojave grom! However, now the HBX is on my radar!!

[@Rek_Rc]

Yep the HBX is. Pretty good truck itself

[@uhh482]

That was a RAD video!!!❤️‍🔥👊

[@Rek_Rc]

Thank you so much! That one took a while to finish so I'm glad you liked it!

[@RC-Closer1313]

Great video bro! Great racing!

[@Rek_Rc]

Thank you buddy, I appreciate you watching and taking the time to drop us a line.

[@The_Jet_Truggy]

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!

[@Rek_Rc]

They are both really good trucks and either can best the other in their own areas of performance. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate you taking the time to comment! It means a lot to us

[@EJ-74]

Awesome video bro. 🔥

[@Rek_Rc]

Thank you buddy! Good cars make good videos

[@BargainBashersRc]

Very interesting comparisons, great video!!

[@Rek_Rc]

Thank you sir! I didn't expect the Mojave to perform THAT well! Very impressive, even as a brushed RC!

[@BargainBashersRc]

@@Rek_Rc it definitely looks like it! Once I have the cash I think it will be the first Arrma I add to my collection

[@boxer951]

You should re do a new video comparison using the new Mojave Grom BLX 223 brushless truck since that would be more equal to the HBX imo.

[@Rek_Rc]

We're sort of kicking around a few ideas for a Grom BLX video

[@japyoo2248]

Need to do it again with the blx

[@Rek_Rc]

We sure will be, but we'll have stiffer competition for the BLX.

[@scaleworksRC]

Solid comparison! The HBX is close and has been the best truck for it's size for a while, until now

[@Rek_Rc]

It has enjoyed a good run as the best small scale budget SCT, but there's a new sheriff in town, and his name is Mojave.

[@CabanasBeats]

subbed. i'd love to see you get your hands on the brushless 3s version

[@kjetilpedersen583]

Thanks 🙏 Again for Relly great Video And lot's of Smiles 😁

[@Rek_Rc]

Thank you again for joining us and dropping a line!

[@GNCRC]

Great video! Subscribed!

[@Rek_Rc]

Wow! I'm honored. I've watched a lot of your content and will certainly continue to do so! Thank you so much

[@enricomiceli5517]

Hbx rollcage+ spar tyres + brushless

[@misterbrown4122]

Awesome comparison of the 2 mini trucks, but realize the ARRMA is a short course truck and the HBX is considered a Trophy/Baja style truck.

[@Rek_Rc]

Correct

[@andrewsmithsonianizm6939]

Take the spare tire rack off the back of the HBX and it's a different truck put it on 3s and it's awesome

[@PleasureAfterWorkRcCrawlers]

Great info...thank you 👍

[@Rek_Rc]

Thank you for checking it out, we appreciate it!

[@jamesblankenship9373]

Compare the Mojave to the Traxxas Slash 1/16. I would enjoy watching you compare them

[@Rek_Rc]

I'm actually planning to do that here eventually.

[@EURIPODES]

LC Racing makes a good 1/14 SC truck. I got the MT and it's sweet af.

[@St3_yo]

I've always thought your camera drone footage is pretty darn good. What drone are you using for that out of curiosity? Keep up the good work on the videos.

[@Rek_Rc]

We actually show the drone up close in the video. It's a DJI Avata

[@tado921]

Hi Steve, It's a DJI Avata 1 with the motion controller. -Tado

[@JoevsRc]

Great Video!

[@Rek_Rc]

Thank you genuinely

[@JP-qq2kn]

I just put black Mojave grom wheels n tires on my hbx 3100a v2. It looks so much better. They are slightly smaller than stock but fit good. I hated the look of the stock hbx wheels n tires. Too much wheel, not enough tire.

[@geezusgiifft8270]

I like the fact that we can break the law😂 all the RC cars went way over 15 km/s speed limit 😂❤

[@Rek_Rc]

The RC speed limit loophole

[@DannyBlocher]

I had issues with my son burning up the mega 550 motor in his granite in grass. Would that be an issue with this Mojave mega 380?

[@Rek_Rc]

I don't think that would be much of an issue with the Mojave Grom because it's so much smaller and lighter than a granite mega

[@thaguy7732]

Oh yeahhhhhh❤

[@andrew4403]

Now switch tires see how that does

[@RCRoads]

The HPX cheated. Brushless and 2 spare tires. Both excellent trucks. Love the half time action. Great job! 👏

[@Rek_Rc]

The Mojave just couldn't be beaten though. I've never been more impressed by a small brushed RC like this

[@midwestwrenchnut2.056]

The BLX grom overcame the the 3s problem

[@MrGsxr10001]

Take those heavy ass spare tires off the rear end and you might be surprised how much better that truck handles.............

[@atlwolf67]

🔥🔥🔥

[@Rek_Rc]

Thank you brother!
