Keep up the great work guys loving the new segment of on the block, very educational

[@AJJAMStudios]

Great to hear! Thanks for taking the time to comment. 😎👍

[@Watermoehlen]

Awesome video. I’m fortunate enough to have the Kraton EXB and Mojave EXB as well. So hard to choose a favorite. Your on road 6s senton is looking sweet up there on the shelf

[@AJJAMStudios]

Thank you. 😎👍

[@branhamphotos5354]

Very detailed thanks

Glad it was helpful! 😎👍

Love your “on the blok” vids 👍

[@AJJAMStudios]

We weren't sure the idea would even work for the channel, but the response has been awesome. Thanks to all of you who take part in the discussions, it's a part of the channel that really makes us want to continue. Thanks for the comment, AJ

[@SpeedSyko]

Amen AJ! WD40! Love that you purposely crashed it! I crash driving normal! 🤣 I run castle 1650kv 8SX 25-27 pinion on 150c batteries. I want to do flips off jumps. I have to locktite the tire wheel nuts or they loosen and strip plastic uutire hexes. The car needs wheelie bars because it flips when the cage hits the grass. I use outcast 8s wheelie bars. I use a dumbo Rc radio. I get hate using this. But I used every remote out there and the remote is surprisingly good and simple. I’ve seen people taking out the lsd plates. The Mojave is in my top 3 rc’s. Great video! I’m giving this a 10 across the board!!! It’s a military tank! I’ve never owned such a strong Rc. And with a faster light system it’s insane!!! Thanks for your opinion and testing! 💯👍👊

[@AJJAMStudios]

I'm glad you have one, I agree it's a tank. I love my Mojave EXB. Of course, you know we try and stay right around the stock settings, and still the thing is a missile. It's great having you back in the comment section. Bash on, my friend 👍

[@rcsmith5909]

Great vid. You guys are a big help.!💪👍😎💯

AJ!!!! Love ya Brother! Sorry I’ve been trying my best, been very sick. I feel a lot better today. I’m unboxing this car so you can help me with this video. I haven’t watched yet, but I will comment again after I watch. 👊

[@AJJAMStudios]

Welcome back! I'm glad you're feeling better 😎👍

Robert, grab yourself a DX5 rugged. Explore the feature called “exponential “……it vastly improves the driving experience. Great video AJ. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Kev

[@chiasson65]

@@peteb8885 It’s not that bad. Yes a bit of manual reading is involved.

[@peteb8885]

@@chiasson65 OK great. Thanks.

[@AJJAMStudios]

Thanks for the tip! 😎👍

[@shaunodriscoll]

Great vid as always. I bought the exb when it came out and love it! But I’ve always found the wheel size quite frustrating, since seeing this I’m going to give it Kraton arms and bigger wheels. Good call on your part. Everything sounds so cheap in the USA , I paid around £1000 pounds for mine! ($1300) ish. Ouch. Thanks guys

[@AJJAMStudios]

Wow, that one cost you much, didn't it? Well, adjusting it to fit your style is always what we want for people. Longer arms? check. Bigger wheels? check. Sounds like fun it me. We never build cars for other peoples wants and desires. We always build them for ourselves, even when we mess up, there's no one to blame but us. Thanks for commenting. 😎👍

[@carvingfool]

Awesome video, can you please provide the links to the upgrades on the Mojave, Thx!!

[@stevesteve1871]

Great video, I've ended up buying a Mojave 6s and your vids have a lot to do with that choice. Going to add the carbon fibre under the body posts. I also want to ad a fan into the motor Can you tell me how many mm's apart the fan holes are just sonI can order the correct bolt pattern? Thanks and keep up your great work and Have Fun!

[@dean7215]

I just got the rtr green mojave! Have not drove it yet! I want to shoo goo the body first, i have a notorious and body got trashed so i want this one to last longer! My question is, you said the slt3 radio is faster than old version radio like i have with the v4 notorious. That older radio is slow. Do you think it makes a big enough difference to upgrade to the dx3 over the stl3! Thanks just found your channel and subscribe d. Your environment looks alot like Oregon, is that where you are?

[@AJJAMStudios]

Thanks for asking. To answer your first question, the DX3 is a much better radio system than the STX2. The delay to the car on that system is definitely slower than it should be. However, if you're new to the hobby (and I'm not saying you are) you may not notice this delay straight away. However, when you get a better system installed the response times are so much better that your car feels like it responds almost instantaneously. A faster, more powerful servo helps too. My group runs all of these radios, the STX2, the SLT3, and the DX3, plus the DX5c and the DX5 Rugged, not to mention the Traxxas TQi system, and even they are switching away from the STX2 because of this delay. I find the SLT3 has limitations when setting up newer components, but the others handle these changes much better; the ability to set end points, throttle management, and so forth. I hope this helps, and to answer your second question, I am in the inland northwest, but I would rather not define my location further. Thanks for commenting, and welcome to the channel. AJ

[@willeymunda]

Your videos are my favourite to watch, very informative and you have a good tempo and manner about your delivery. I have a Traxxas X-Maxx currently but want to purchase an additional car and was considering the Mojave EXB, would that be a good choice to give me something different in driving style to the X-Maxx? I considered a Keaton but presumed it would be too similar experience to the X-Maxx

[@AJJAMStudios]

I agree with the Mojave EXB idea. The Kraton would be too similar to what you already have, and it helps that out top three consists of the Kraton 8s at number one, the Mojave EXB in second, and the Xmaxx in third place. All three are awesome. If you need that speed and control but with a different feel than your Xmaxx, I would recommend the Mojave all day long. It's tough, fast, and a great rig to see run. Thanks for asking. AJ

[@stevenyoungheim4837]

Question, what are your thoughts on the Dumborc Radio?

[@AJJAMStudios]

We have had several Dumbo RC radios and I have to say, for the money, it’s a great radio. Thanks for asking 😎👍

[@bjrnarrosseland9012]

These videos are great, good learning:) I have a maxx and a exb Kraton 6s and was thinking of buying another. I have been looking at x-maxx, talion and outcast, but after this I’m even more unsure😂 I can’t decide so I’m probably going to buy them all eventually, but have no idea what to get first.

[@AJJAMStudios]

I know the feeling. I simply look at each one and pick the one that speaks to me. Figuratively of course. Thanks for commenting 😎👍

[@Ryndel]

Great vid and great questions. I see the senton 6s in the back, will that review come out soon? =)

[@AJJAMStudios]

It’s in the works. Thanks for asking 😎👍

[@calebcrawford2150]

This is my favorite rc to work on so far outta a slash ultimate and udr I love working on my Mojave it only took me two nights after work to completely rebuild my Mojave that I bought for 260 usd

[@AJJAMStudios]

Most of the rigs in the Arrma 6s platform are simple to work on. I’m glad to hear you enjoy the wrenching part of the hobby too. It’s all part of our hobby. Best of luck with your Mojave. 😎👍

[@douglasbeary7890]

I put the LSDs in my rtr and thought they made it better for stability and overall fun. I toed my tires and I think it corners better on the track...... im toying with the idea of a locked front differential.

[@AJJAMStudios]

Interesting. I'm glad yours is running well for you. Thanks, 😎👍

@@AJJAMStudios strange 🤔

[@mutosanrc1933]

wonder why non of you rc guys are reviewing the UFRC Ghost Rabbit. And most of the time I broke the thin round plastic and not the thing you mention. Never broke those

[@AJJAMStudios]

Perhaps it's the price. We have to purchase our cars and we are not even close to well off. I did look it up though and it looks pretty cool.

[@patlortie618]

Where does the SBR 2.0 stack in your list?

[@AJJAMStudios]

We can’t rate what we do not have in the studio. Thus far we don’t have one. Thanks for asking though 😎👍

[@Critical-Defense]

I WISH my body mount posts would break.. I guess mine were made from RPM plastics because I’ve yet to put a scratch into my body mount posts. In fact they are so flexible and strong in my Mojave that they transfer all of the shock and damage into my Mojave’s body. Even with two layers of sheet rock tape, several hot glue sticks, and at least 4 tubes of Shoe Goo, my Mojave body cracked and shattered until it literally fell to pieces. I have a crack up each fender well to the body post hole then the crack forks down to the front grille and across the hood to the other body post. The crack on the other side is a mirror image. I also have a crack and split up the rear tail lights and making its way over to the rear fender wells. As far as the rear window, roof, side doors, and interior insert, they are all flawless. The body damage is 100x worse because a Mojave body replacement is a Earth shattering $140! When I do replace it, I’ll be using a new reinforcement method I’ve discovered recently. I still use the sheet rock tape and shoe goo and hot glue but then I go around the entire outside edge with rubber automotive door edge guard strips fixed in permanently with CA glue in the inside fold of the edge guards. I’ve also started piling in Shoe Goo, Hot Glue, and Flex Seal Glue (white stuff in a tube) into every edge and bend on the inside of the body. Then I run the edges where I know it broke before with a hot plastic stapler essentially infusing tiny metal rods into the glue and body. As far as the body post holes, I cake all above items even heavier around the holes until they are nearly closed up. Then I drill it back out and drill out the body post tiny clip holes to make them bigger and higher up the post to offset the thickness of the glue so I can still force the clips through to secure the body.. if the clips still won’t go through I ditch them and start applying outdoor Velcro to secure the body.. I never want to buy another replacement duplicate body again.. such a waste and so expensive.

[@AJJAMStudios]

Wow, you put a lot of effort into protecting your body. I understand, the thing costs an arm and a leg to get a replacement. I appreciate your tenacity regarding the protection of the shell. Let me know how your new fix works. AJ

[@Critical-Defense]

@@AJJAMStudios will do. I know my entire comment was nothing but a negative complaint so I feel like I need to clarify that the Mojave EXB (Spektrum “Big Block” 8S 😁) ranks #2 in my collection behind the Kraton EXB 1/5 with an XLX2 and 800kV censored setup and in front of the Typhon 6S Castle MMX & 2200kV censored setup. It‘a so much more fun than some other RCs and I truly enjoy sending it. And even with the trashed body it still looks great. I swapped in a set of dBoots Katar’s that come stock on the Talion RTR and it’s made it feel new to me again. And aside from the body it’s incredibly durable. I’d say it ties with my Typhon as the most durable in my collection (and the Typhon has been outfitted with Hot Racing, EXB, and M2C parts until complete). I decided to mostly leave my Mojave alone and only upgrade what broke, which I try to do but sometimes I justify having spare parts by upgrading early, and it’s still mostly stock. I did add the Scorched RC fender wells.. I just couldn’t handle the trash the tub accumulated instantly.

[@Critical-Defense]

@@AJJAMStudios oh, I wanted to ask.. did you happen to grab any new toys during the Horizon Hobby sales this month? I was tempted by the Arrma sale but I’m glad I held off because I really have been wanting a Losi LMT. It was 12:20 A.M. when I saw the one day sale for the roller @ $250, and I gave in to Horizon’s sales tactics immediately.. I would have been strong enough to resist, I didn’t stand a chance after they knocked the $450 RC that was #1 on my wish list down to $250. I’m currently trying to figure out the whole body mounting situation as I didn’t want GraveDigger.

[@AJJAMStudios]

Unfortunately, I did not join in on the sale. I already have several new cars on the way and I'm currently awaiting their arrival. As always, these things cost a lot and we buy them ourselves so money is a real issue. Currently we are having to budget for our new cars, as winter really takes it out of our finances, but keeping it real for the channel and the community is always our priority, so we do not accept freebies. Maybe one day we will find a way for our fans to help, but for now we are going it alone. As far as your body mounting situation, which body are you considering for the LMT? Totally curious. AJ

[@Critical-Defense]

@@AJJAMStudios I agree I think you should find a way for the fans to help out. I’d donate. I’ve wanted a Bigfoot ever since I saw the Traxxas version. My childhood was filled with Bigfoot and USA-1, not Gravedigger. I’m considering the JConcepts Bigfoot body currently and then I may grab a Proline body that’s as close to a ‘67 Ford F-100 as I can get. My dad had one for many years so it has a little sentimental value to me. Outside of RC, I’m planning to do a ‘67 Ford F-100 scale model soon. I did scale models with my dad as a kid and I’ve been wanting to do another. I have a ‘69 Ford F-100 I’ll do first to give myself a bit of experience and lessons learned for the ‘67.

[@zerrickdracing6784]
