Traxxas need to seriously up their Game! The NEW Arrma Mojave EXB is a Weapon!

What are Traxxas doing? They are slipping down to number 2 in the RC World.
The Mojave is meant to be the toughest RC Arrma have built...and now we have the Extreme Basher (EXB) Version, so can't we name this Worlds Strongest RC Car? Hmmm... not sure just yet!

Take the body brackets off, shoe glue the underside of the bracket to thicken it up. Should strengthen them better well. They’re con-caved so the shoe glue sits in there and doesn’t add a lot of weight

[@thepilotxproject4035]

The best version of one of the best bashers we've ever seen! Words won't do it justice. They seem to like thread lock on their wheel nuts - Very few weak points overall, one hell of a car. Not sure if it's better than the cheaper Kraton EXB, but a keeper for sure! Someone will make better body mounts for it soon...

Yes, it's a Weapon! Absolutely love it! Revised body mounts are coming out soon.

[@hubertdouglas9509]

Just saw this on Talbot's channel. He had the same problem and broke the body post. ARRMA TOUGH? I wonder. Cool set up and nice basher though. I like this new intro, interesting. Congrats on getting it so soon

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks mate. Yeah, seems a weak spot on them

[@Rockatha]

I don't understand why you would add foam to something not designed for it. Surely if Arrma had wanted you to add foam it would have come with it

[@RA-bw2wp]

I put the Spektrum 150A ESC and 2050kv combo. 55mph all stock out the box. Love it, it’s a beast and fun to drive. Only thing I have broken is me. What would you think of maybe drywall tape a shoe goo around the body mounts?

[@jameswright5572]

LOL. Too be fair that was a direct impact from about twelve feet right on the rear wing. The body mounts do give way under hard impct but very inexpensive. Keep a few on hand. I went with a debris bag on mine and works great. Remember to get a 30mm fan for the motor if you pick up the rtr version. Motor already has the heat sink and open power conector available. This truck is a blast even on 4s. Great vid.

[@rcpd3157]

Great job. Looks scale and performs well! It does seem that the #ARRMA #Mojave is 1 of the best RCs you can get. This version or the normal version. Both seem to be fantastic.

The Senton does have great reviews, especially with durability (in the newest release). GAWD yours looks like so much fun! I now wonder if Inner Wheelwells are available for the smaller 1/10th Aarma Senton? Just as necessary, especially living in the Desert. 😲 Carmine ✈🚂🚙

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude. The Senton is an awesome piece of kit. It has a bit of protection from crap getting in already, but the Desert sand will easily find it's way in!

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

They do make Inner Wheelwells for the Senton.... Out Of Stock of course. 😖 But at least it's there. Right, Desert Sand gets in EVERYTHING!!

[@gillian9178]

The body mounts seem to be a weak point on Mohave's, a few have also broken the body mounts as well. Mr Talbot also broke both front & rear body mounts on his Mohave EXB, he had also used the extra foam to cushion the mounts as well.

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah I saw he broke them as well. They have some revised ones coming out at some point

[@DomsRCs]

Traxxas don't, they are soo much stronger than arrma and look more scale and preform more like the real thing. The udr looks like a proper vehicle. The arrma just looks like a longer senton with a new shell.

[@TomleyRC]

Traxxas have some nice stuff... not sure they are any stronger though. Everything breaks if you push them last their limits

[@DomsRCs]

Fair enough, you should get a udr and put it up to the test

[@roblowrie1969]

I'd be a bit disappointed if the body mounts broke after such a relatively small bash? Still a great video of a wicked looking looking truck. Arrma Mojave or Traxxas UDR? Now there's a choice to make?! 😁👍🏻

Yes it was disappointing, they have some revised ones coming soon. UDR is a different beast.... but then if you are thinking UDR... I'd be inclined to go for a Losi SBR 2.0! I have one arriving pretty soon!
