Took the Slash out for a rip. Found the perfect surface with enough slip to make it fun but enough to be controlled. Absolute blast! I really hope we get some new 6s trophy trucks next year and see an updated Mojave based on the new V6 Arrma chassis

He hasn't posted it yet but I think Tomley had diff issues with this when he chucked in the VXL system into his mini maxx so might be best starting off gentle.

I did wonder if the 4s Mojave wheels would be a good fit since they are cheaper but their dimensions doesn't seem to appear anywhere online

I am guessing the inclusion of the centre diff could be partly to blame. They had a price point they wanted to hit and by adding the extra diff, they needed to make something else cheaper. Not sure if they were also tying to make a gap between these new 223s vehicles and the 4s v2.5 which also have the centre diff. The older Vorteks used to be more expensive than the rest of the 3s range as it came with a different transmitter which has their smart battery level and possibly stability control or some kind. This updated version brings it in line with the other similar vehicle's.

Guess it saves them money! DoRC did test the 2in1 vs the previous ESC and he found the 2in1 to be just as good speed wise and very responsive so I think it could still be fairly decent.

Another tempting new release. Seems to do an easy 50mph out of the box with some nice handling and durability.

Got any photos of how it looks? They are taller and a bit narrower from Google dimensions to stock.

It looks really promising. This gives you a good idea from probably one of my favourite RC reviewers. https://youtu.be/b6sl7VC0sW4?si=rCYVGVIUBjY8oXrv

Got it muddy! First winter run for the DR8 and I forgot how hopeless it was traction wise with the stock tyres 🤣. Think I looked at 6s Mojave wheels before but never got them.

Interested in this as a mini-me for my 6s Kagama. Looks like a pretty good platform from what I have seen so far but a little slow for 4s. I remember one of the original complaints around the Sketer was how much pep it had so surprised they didn't go higher with the stock pinion or move away from that same motor/KV.

Pretty sure there was a similar thread this time last year. I still try and get out in the winter but my cars definitely see less use as a winter session then requires a lot of time of properly cleaning compared to blowing off some dust in the dryer months. The hobby still feels very niche to me (in the UK at least) and I am guessing won't have the user base of something like fishing.

Blimey did we get these before the US release?? Not seeing a single review apart from when it was first announced.

Are you talking about the Quantum 2 MT Flux or the original version?

I have these on mine which I think are better than stock. https://www.dms-racing.com/wheels-tyres-and-inserts/wheel-and-tyre-sets/wheels-and-tyre-sets---mini-or-micro/pre-mounted-monster-truck-tyres-on-black-wheels-pr-emb-mt-detail

Have a browse on Modelsport for JConcepts Rubber Parts Tray. Not cheap but really handy and easy to clean
