MrCake Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Really tempted by one of these in the spring but still hoping Arrma refresh the 6s Mojave with all of the recent updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partydaz Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Yeah I was wondering that as the 6s Mojave is a nice truck and seems to be left out of the updates so far. I was looking at one but as I have a UDR I couldn't talk myself into it so I talked myself into a 4s Mojave 😅. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCake Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 The easier maintenance of the Mojave draws me to it but if it wasn't for that, I would have a UDR all day! Mojave does seem very overdue a refresh though and it feels like a bit of an era for rally cars and trophy truck releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partydaz Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) Yip the maintenance is a pain on the UDR but after a few times it's easy enough, the main thing is checking the rear diff as it being locked diff wears out every 6mth for me. I've put GPM steel gears in see if they last longer 🙃. If your not after ultra scale the Mojave 6s seems be the way go this 4s glides over the bumps so the big one gotta be as good 😊 Love a rally car but cannot find one a like or cannot get a body I like to fit it 🥲.

MrCake Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Took the PTG-2 rally for an early skid about in an icy carpark. Got through 2 x packs but something broke right at the end and there is a lot of resistance in the transmission. Diffs feel fine individually so not sure what that is. Feels worse when pushing the car backwards!? Hopefully just a small stone or something like that. Think that is 3 different cars in a row that have all broken in some way when taking them out 😣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCake Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Got a free morning so jumped straight in to seeing what was up with the PTG-2. There was quite a lot of dirt under the spur cover but the resistance is actually from a dead 3652 Hobbywing! Sounds absolutely horrendous with no load and may have been smoked a smidge. First motor I have killed and this setup is not highly strung, and the motor barely gets above warm. Even the battery packs are only 2200mah so I am surprised this was the first to go!? Decision now on whether to go up to 4000KV from the 3300 that is in it now?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have it now but Im guessing my Emaxx wouldve been affected that literally hand thousands and thousands of pounds worth of Unlimited Engineering bits on! Although tbh it wasnt usinf the Traxxas slipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnie Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Fitted new esc, lipo, reciever and skid plates to my typhon grom Tried to strengthen the sketer body with some adhesive and drywall tape instead of the usual shoe goo (even though i have some). Seemed good at 1st so left it to full set for just over 24hr. Went to gorilla tape it up and end up like this.. what a waste of time! Ended up just gorilla taping up 3 shell as i dont have the patience to shoe goo them all 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoe goo make the shell bombproof but i just ain't got the time or patience like I used to. As you said gorilla tape is spot on and so much easier 👌 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you add some clutch gear system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put aluminium bushings and steel shims in the diffs. Have run 4 3s packs through it and given it some abuse. All good so far🤞 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you turn the punch down it’s much more controllable. I’ve got the centre diff and a wheelie bar on order so hopefully that will help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
