NEW Mojave Grom - Cheap 3S Brushless Conversion!

[@Shreddylife]

You read my mind about putting duel IC2 / Deans connectors on the brushless esc. I have a bunch of the IC2 batteries from my Mini-B and the 1800mah that came with the Grom but I also have 3S 3000mah batteries I run in my brushless Mojave Grom with Deans plugs. I ended up ordering a Quic-run 16BL30 esc and Reedy 280 sl4 4500kv motor for mine. With stock gearing the truck fly's! 😆 Really happy they made the Mojave Grom, its such a fun little truck!

[@georgeparsons6632]

Surprized that esc that came in that brushless combo is holding up to 3s mine when up in smoke after 1st tigger pull on 3s. Motors r good but im now using HW 10bl60 esc no problems. Great video by the way.

[@RCRoads]

Nice speed with the KingVal combo. I like that the shaft size is 2.3 and matches the bore of the stock pinion. Great job! 👍😁

[@TheDudeRc]

Thanks 👍

[@Neversettlerc]

That’s the proper way to run a Grom! And by the way, I was waiting to hear your wife yell at you because you hit her with a brushed motor 😂

[@TheDudeRc]

LOL

[@RC-Closer1313]

The blue and safety-yellow look great with the white👍🏻

[@joseCalderon1976]

52 MPH. Damn 😂. Awesome. Great job

[@artministratorle]

Noice noice! I had the Mojave EXB with Max6 Combo (6s) and it was a joy, but not had time for anymore. Directly ordered the mini version once they´ve anounced it. Must say even in brushed it´s kinda good, much better than i´d expected. but yeah also looking fwd to maybe build a small 2S or 3S brushless combo in it, majorly because of the gyro function from the new receiver then, as well as get a little more topspeed & punch out of it. But not sure if all the stock components will draw much quicker then (basically won´t build arround that much on that thing, it should just drive "always"

5:15 yo the way he threw that mf lmaooo

[@chaoticadventure]

I put my RX on the fan. Fit perfectly and keeps it cool.

[@TheDudeRc]

I knew I was going with a larger fan and wanted to not have to remove the RX. That being said, I may try that out. Thanks!

[@QuinnsRC]

Dang that's a nice upgrade for $41!! How has it held up? Were temps OK after those speed runs? Oops finished the video. Looks like a reasonable 2s is the sweet spot. I enjoyed the video. Thanks!

[@TheDudeRc]

2S temps are good but bashing on 3S it gets pretty hot. I am going to try a different fan. Problem is this ESC is only a 5amp BEC and not adjustable. I think I may direct wire the fan to the battery to get more flow from it.

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

Yes do that and run two fans one from 5v one direct , you can probably bend heat sink too squeeze it together, also could put air scoop because bodies seal pretty tight , why u try stick to 4500 and lower for 3s , 5 and 6 2s only . I haven’t converted my groms yet but I have mini b s and reflex 14t which is same as this little big for small can motors but to small for the bigger motors or you chew diffs up . Trick is keeping them cool

[@arespahukoa-malia979]

how did you solder the esc wire connecters like that can you make a video on that? please.

[@smrdmr1]

I just put the same system in my Typhon yesterday and I only run it on 2s to try to keep from breaking the driveline.

[@TheDudeRc]

In part two I will be upgrading the diffs, axles, larger cooling fan and shocks. So far though, I have 30+ runs with it on 3S with better cooling and the truck has been as solid as can be. Its even had MANY 30+ MPH smacks into a steel pole while racing. LOL My Typhon Grom has only broken a shock so far after many accidents so I think they have a pretty solid drivetrain already.

[@williamperri3437]

I may get one. I have no idea if the shocks are quality but I have a few pairs of mini 8 Truggy shocks that will probably be perfect if needed.

[@kjetilpedersen583]

I want both of them in my Collection And do A Opgrad to brushless I have different ESC I Can use.Really gid job and Nice video 😊

[@MrMeDos]

Nice video my guy.. the mohave grom is the best one yet in my opinion.

[@TheDudeRc]

Mine too!

[@Shreddylife]

How is the motor holding up? I ordered one to see if I can get a little bit more top speed out of my setup on 3s but then I noticed the motor is only rated for 8.4 volts.

[@TheDudeRc]

So far so good. I have over 30 runs on it and the motor has been rock solid now with the cooling upgrades. Just got the suspension dialed in a bit better with some 40wt oil and will continue to test it!

[@Shreddylife]

@@TheDudeRc sweet! Good to hear. I used some 100wt oil I had laying around in mine lol made a nice difference but the rear is either still too soft or too bouncy imo.. I might upgrade the shocks here soon after my metal diffs arrive. Such a cool lil truck 😄

[@Frankredline]

Great vid

[@riceboypinoy]

What pinion are you running?

[@S5UPERCHARGED]

Wonder how well those plastic axle gears will last 😬

[@TheDudeRc]

So far they have lasted over 30 runs with a lot of painful impacts. That being said, keep an eye out for the next video as I will be doing some upgrades concerning just that. I wanted to see how long they would last before swapping them but so far they havent broken.

[@Boogie_the_cat]

LOL, your DX5 rugged costs more than the truck.

[@timmytfpv7316]

Can you use stock radio with brushless

[@TheDudeRc]

No, you have to change out the radio system. The stock ESC is also your Rx.

[@eliflynn7282]

I see stripping gears because they're not designed to handle 3s.

[@politie_jip112]

i never use locktide lol

[@ArAliasarAr]

Did not like the way you throw things away. That's disrespectful.

[@TheDudeRc]

Its a toy. Dont take it too seriously.
