Its a cool rig, and thankfully I am certainly one of the people it was designed for. I love scale driving and have gotten used to how it performs compared to a more bashing-oriented sct. Plus, it looks great on a trailer behind one of my trail trucks. For anyone watching wanting some setup tips (keep in mind, Im no professional just someone who has spent a lot of time with scale desert trucks), i would start with the suspension. I would keep the preload all the way loose (unscrewed to top of shock) and stick with the stock oil weight of around 40wt. If you go to bigger shocks, youll probably need to drop the oil weight in the rear and up it in the front to compensate for the new shock volumes (I run 50w Front and 25wt Rear in RCAWD aftermarket shocks). I locked the rear diff with plugs and changed the center diff to 100k to keep ballooning down, but I think i may up it to 250k. I added a swaybar kit from ThreeDPrintDesigns to keep the rear end tidier and that did help some with the torque twist but I dont think it is necessary unless you plan on running it on the road a lot; the stock rear sway bars do a good enough job but drop me a comment if you know of a good front swaybar kit for this car. Lastly, i dropped the motor pinion from 13t to 12t to increase the torque a bit. With these mods and a 2s lipo, I set the AVC to about 25% and the truck runs about as well as I could hope; the locked diff and increased torque make it easier to steer with the rear and allows for more control in slides. With a 3s, I usually run the power at 75% as it overpowers the car a bit in my opinion but a better driver could compensate for that. It may be tempting to swap to the 0 degree rear toe inserts to get the rear to slide out more but i found that they made this car two unruly in the corners and straights, and upping the AVC to remedy this will cause it to cut power in the slides defeating the purpose. Most likely a skill issue but Im not a fan nonetheless. It will never jump well so I dont think its worth trying to set it up that way unless you want to pay Losi replacement part prices. Great video as always, cant wait for the roundup.

The F100 something Brothers body is my absolute favorite sct body. I love my SBR 2.0 but it's a very unique and niche driving experience. It loves smooth and wide open places. It'll jump but it's no basher. It looks awesome and is decently tough. I really wish Losi would make a 12S 5T. While I'm at it it'd be awesome if Arrma would make a bigger 8s Mojave exb next. Currently my 4s Mojave is my favorite SCT. My buddy went to buy a 6s Mojave and when our crappy LHS didn't have one he brought back a UDR. That is an amazing truck, until it breaks. It's great to drive but, his at least, is very fragile.

Great video. I'm a racer type, so when I first drove mine, I was quite annoyed with the traction rolling into turns and regretting buying one. I am glad you pointed out the scale driver factor, so with that in mind, I took mine out again today at Knox RC track. Driving it with care, it behaved nicely on 2S and handled the track like a how a long travel 4WD desert truck should. PRO: I loved long travel suspension, squared edged hits didn't faze it, looked awesome charging through the choppy terrain. And the scaled body looks marvellous as the car dances over bumps. CON: The Spektrum servo is a weak point, feels weedy, slow, indirect and developed fault after 4 batteries packs. Replacing that servo is a pain, requires removal of body panels, roll cage, mock radiator etc just to get to the plug. Modelflight Australia still don’t have any spares available after 6 months of preorder, so take care not crashing it too hard.

@RCTNT 6 ай бұрын
Thanks for the summary. I'll add that removing preload from the rear can be helpful. Quite a few commenters have pointed out mine was too high in my video, and they were right! Lower means more rubbing but less rolling, so it's a net gain. Glad you're enjoying yours!

If you're after short course driving capability, the Mojave 4s wins handily over this car. Do note I had rear pre load too high in this video, so it rolls a bit less than this usually, I think. But Mojave 4s is a winner if I've understood what you're after.

Hi is it normal the reverse is weak?
@RCTNT
@RCTNT Ай бұрын
It's common, though many after market ESCs will give you full reverse. The reason is one of cost, and of how mosfets work. They're the electronic component that handles power flow from battery to motor. You need a separate bank of them for each motor direction. A cost saving measure is to use less mosfets for reverse, given you're usually going to want full power forward and usually not care so much about reverse. So that's why many cars are like that!

These Baja Rey’s are very cool as far as scale appearance and functionality……the 1/10 (or some say 1/8 scale) models are expensive and somewhat difficult to work on if need be…..I’ve had 2 of the previous generation that I bought used …both were broken and owners gave up fixing them…I resold one of them after repair and kept the second one (I did more mods to it and was actually much better than stock form) For people wondering about these rigs you are correct ….they are designed for a specific driving style but that being said….the Super Baja Rey is much better as far as handling and stability goes! (I bought one on sale from horizon when they were $700) for only $200 more than the 1/10 scale new was a no brainer….downside it you need more room to drive these monsters….😅

Well, you've seen both my videos on these cars, so you'll have seen just how much more capable the Mojave 4s is. My general advice would be the Mojave 4s is best for nearly everyone. The Baja Rey 2.0 here is for those who want desert truck handling and the limitations that comes with that. It's a form of enjoyment that comes from practice and terrain selection. The mojave is your best mate for most surfaces and mindsets. Smooth and tidy laps? Yes. Rough bashing? Definitely. Launching into orbit?... Well, everything has its limits, but the Mojave 4s is one heck of an intro to RC. It would be my recommendation to you, if you have the budget for it.

I own the Jumpshot SC flux and I love it. In the UK it's only £199 which makes it incredible value for such a fast and fun machine. I'm biased towards RTR, but why anyone would buy any sort of Tamiya when you can get so much more performance (and build quality) for less money, I dont know 😀 They are quite big and seriously fast, and so look very impressive when whizzing along the beach. Powerful 2WD means you have to be a bit more finessed with your driving style (compared to more forgiving 4WD) but the flux is also silky smooth and quiet. A real joy. I mainly save mine for the beach now as the far simpler drive train and TVP chassis makes the post run clean up far easier and quicker compared to most other cars. Only downside is that because the car is so light and fast, the big body likes to parachute and flip over. Even with some vent holes, I'm never really able to go full trigger pull. Thankfully, even just 3/4 trigger still gives a very rewarding turn of speed.

Lower kv does NOT mean more torque. This car could benefit from lower kv because it rolls better than it drives.

Technically that’s true, the size of the windings is what gives the motor torque. But practically speaking, since lower kv limits speed with the same torque, a lower kv motors “feels” torque(ier). It also has the benefit of running cooler.

@VUO4E Sorry, quite right. Good catch. @JT-6s captured the essence of what I was trying to say. Thanks guys

I remember how excited I was when that truck came out, how really excited I was to get it, and how disappointed I was after a quick 15 minute drive. That thing is a piece of hot GARBAGE. It doesn’t turn, it doesn’t drive straight, it over heats because the motor and esc is to small, and the first 15 minute run, it rubbed all the paint off the rear of the body. Fast forward a few runs later, nothing crazy and the whole body is destroyed and cracked. That was the last rc I buy new. I tend to build most of my RC’s from the ground up with as much aftermarket as possible from scratch. But this RC was the last straw. I will never buy a new RC ever again.

I feel for you, Alan. I think this is a difficult model to own, as it's really made for desert truck fans who aren't going to drive it like a short course truck (that includes me, I've learned). Losi have some interesting models but several of them are made for a particular purpose or drive style. The more general use models like the Mojave 4s or the Rival MT10 can be very rewarding to own. But yeah I feel you. Sorry you've had a bad run
