This is quickly becoming my favorite RC channel. I’d really like to see a video about basher tuning! I know most people say “it’s a basher, who cares” but things like shock oil and shock springs make a MASSIVE difference for landings and big bashing. If your shocks are using thin fluid they aren’t absorbing as much shock as they could be, causing extra wear and damage. if the fluid is too thick it won’t be active enough for small bumps and may even bounce more on landings

@DoRC

Absolutely but I will admit that I am certainly not the best at vehicle tuning. I run so many different cars that I've become very tolerant to imperfect setups. I do try to get them at least reasonably close but there are definitely racers and stuff out there that are way better than I am.

@V8chump

@@DoRC it’s more of a personal feel thing for bashers since there’s nothing on the line. I for one almost always change out stock shock oils for bashers. They’re often way too thin which leads to chassis slap and underutilized suspension. Gotta think of it as a Goldilocks situation. Going too fair in either direction can be detrimental

There's gonna be some interesting brushless combos with this car due to the extra size, if i wasn't tight on cash I'd definitely buy one

No unfortunately the air control really didn't get much better.

Dude knows his stuff! 10BL60 is a gem that no one talks about for 1/12-1/18 scale. It has 60a running and a 320a peak (or something RIDICULOUS like that). Whereas, that Mamba Micro X2 everyone keeps talking about is only 40a running, 80a peak. 10BL60 also has a smaller footprint than the Micro X2. It’s a bit taller but that’s because it comes w/ a fan whereas the Micro X2 does not. I ran the Micro X2 w/ the 8k KV motor and the motor shaft blew up in my Mini B.

You can find top-of-the-line 540/550 can with no problem, but for some reason, the smaller 380 stayed the same just as bad for almost 2 decades.

I don't have one but I have looked at the brushless motor setup for the mini and it appears quite a bit smaller.

@@DoRCthat was the reason I asked I have the motor for the losi minis and didn’t know if they would fit but I’m thinking about getting a few Arrma minis and racing them I’ll probably just water break in the motor though

@jat08202010 Yeah at least in my research it looked too small to be viable.

this is not cheap a set you shoud have used surpass hobby 2445 and 35amp esc and slr300 if you want to use the stock transmitter you could also go with a 2845 but you will need a diffrent pinion after reading a person who did a 3650 motor in a granite a 48dp pinion works fine

Yeah I really don't like using surpass ESCs. That's why I said at the end that I think this is the cheapest setup you could get while still ending up with a good system. Yeah the SLR 300 would work with the stock transmitter but I didn't factor in transmitter cost to my price so I still think this is about as good as you can do while not buying ESCs that like to catch fires :-)

after some research idk why but the Hobbywing Quirun WP-16BL30 is in my country €30 and on aliexpress €19 why didnt you use that esc? idk how expensive it is for you or mjx 45amp esc

You can put a 20t pinion gear on your Mojave grom and get 25mph with the stock motor 😮😮😁👍

Yeah I'm sure on straight level pavement you can but how long is the motor going to last? This is 27 mph all day long.

Gotcha. Whereas for some people that would be an easy mod it's not something I think I would recommend to most people out there. There is quite a bit of inherent danger to cutting open a hard case and I feel like that's one of those things where if you don't kind of inherently know how to do it I don't think I want to be the person recommending it.

broke mine on the first run, shredded hub, stock electronics. no replacments because it uses different parts from other two groms... thanks arrma

I ordered at 9am the day it was announced. Literally as soon as I got the text from them I stopped and ordered. Mine shipped Tuesday and arrived yesterday. My Amazon brushless combo is supposed to be here today. After driving it I'm not upset anymore. I actually ordered another one to leave stock for the wife and kids. It's worth the wait.

That’s the way it should of been, 19 mph just doesn’t cut it, even to a newbie.

Yes and no. The top speed increase is nice but at least with these tires even that amount of power becomes hard to put down to the ground

It's more like 21mph which is completely fine imo. Not everything should be a missile.

Slipping sliding ACTUALLY having to control throttle and braking? It's called driving, lol 😆 come on man, that's what you want. At least me. It's pretty boring not having to put effort into the driving part of it. MORE POWER 🔋 💪🏽 LETS GET THERE!!

I completely agree but I have been bashing just about every day for the last 20 years and have owned a couple of hundred vehicles in that time so I have some skill and this is difficult for me to control under heavy throttle. I'm not saying it's a bad thing I'm just saying that the wheels and tires feel like they're getting overwhelmed.
