Nice! I think you'll like it.

So just a heads up, Castle now has a warning on their website NOT to use 4S with this ESC in the groms. They advise to stay with 2S only. Warranty will not be honored because of all the mesh issues and wrong pinions being used. Thats their claim anyway.

@DoRC

10 күн бұрын

Yeah that's primarily problems with the smaller motors. That's why I run the 1010. It has a bigger shaft and is not subject to those same breakages. That being said in my opinion in this hobby unless something fails right out of the box I probably wouldn't warranty claim it. Especially the kind of shenanigans I do are often beyond the intended use cases of the hardware so if it breaks generally it's on me. As far as running 4S honestly unless you are speed running there's really no need for it. 3S is more than enough and 2s works really well for general bashing.

Do you mean putting bigger tires on the Grom or putting different tires on the Mojave. If it's on the Mojave you're going to have to trim the body pretty much no matter what. As far as different bodies in the Mojave I'm sure it's possible but the included body is pretty specifically designed to fit the car so it would be a custom job for sure

They are pretty tough and represent decent value for money however they don't handle very well in general and are a pain to work on.

I'd say it depends on what you wanted to do. The Mojave is going to be the most stable out of the line but the granite has the most potential for stunt ability. The granite's also going to have a bit more ground clearance so if you're running in grass and whatnot That is a consideration. The Typhon is okay but it gives up a lot in terms of off-road ability in the name of speed and handling

I don't doubt that they'll release a brushless version, but I honestly think they should've released the it first & then release the brushed one.! They would've had a much bigger impact that way, everyone would've been super stoked & the Internet would've been full of NOTHING but raving positive reviews rather than the mixed reviews & criticism they have now.! If they'd sold it for something like £175/$175 THEY'D LITERALLY HAVE WON RC.!!😉 😉 Then when they released the brushed "Grom Mega"? version people would've been more than happy with them because they'd be naturally expecting less anyway...

once again a great video 👍👍 I wonder which is more worthwhile for a beginner and which is more fun. mojave grom for 169 € (in germany) or the senton boost for 160€ (in GER) ?!... Because I think if you put some weights behind the rear axle on the Senton, it will give it more grip on the rear axle. 100g might be a little more or less weights behind the rear axle (fishing lead may don it) AND I THINK IT WILL BE MORE FUN THAN WITH A AWD SENTON AND MAYBE MORE THAN A MOJAVE GROM . what do you think ? Maybe good material for a video, because the senton is available in Germany for 160€ or around 140$. And a beginner can stick with the brushed motor and run it on 3S, which gives you around 30% more power witch is enough I think before converting it to brushless. I'm really wondering where you can get more fun for your money.

That's crazy. I don't have the skills or the location to try something like that but it sounds like fun!

Anyone else see the teaser email for the new spectrum transmitter?? 😏 looks like it’s going to be something new an futuristic with maybe a touch screen..?

Yeah I saw that. Looks pretty cool. I'm not sure it'll be something I'm interested in just cuz I know it's probably going to be really expensive and their transmitters aren't cheap but I'm looking forward to taking a look at it!

I don't read spam. I have no problem with the Spektrum stuff I own because it came with my Felony, but I'd never go out and buy a Spektrum product as all of them are massively overpriced, and under-featured. Ooh, a touch screen. I just bought a $50 transmitter that came with two receivers and I'll be honest, I don't really care for the screen. It's way quicker and easier to turn an analog dial for things like dual rate and steering trim. Fancier isn't always better. I love my Arrma vehicles, but Horizon Hobby is almost as bad as Traxxas now, with charging a premium for a small improvement. Spektrum "smart" batteries case in point: $75 for a 3s 5000 mAh 35c Spektrum battery. All for 4 lights that light up on your transmitter. My new receiver has leads to plug into the lipo balance port to tell me actual on screen voltage, not 4 crappy inaccurate LEDs. You're paying a premium for a dumbed-down overpriced feature.

@@Boogie_the_cat To each their own brother, it truly does take a lot more then people realize to develop and produce a product and sell it on the market in mass quantities and actually sell it for the lowest price they can without loosing out completely.. With the way things are going prices aren’t going down on anything just yet their only going up because of mass inflation.. if you don’t like the prices you can always just use Amazon batteries/ transmitters that will work just as fine and aren’t anywhere near as expensive ( I recently got a dumbo transmitter for 50$ an a set of 2s 5400 lipos for 29$ ) hard to beat deals like that but some people do like to splurge on the nicer things in life and being this is about the the rc hobby specifically where the most popular cars go for 1000$ a piece, a little more expensive transmitter isn’t crazy out of touch to the hobby. People enjoy getting the best of the best that’s out there and yes cost can be a drag when the features aren’t hardly any different from a cheap dumbo remote but you do get what you pay for, my DX5 rugged has been dropped down trails and taken such hard falls I don’t think that my dumbo transmitter would survive the same over years of hard use honestly. So there is definitely more to it then just the tech features!

I think itll be better to be bit wider

Looks like arrmas version of the monster slash but micro and faster 😂😂

Did it not end up costing about the same as the 4S big one?

@DoRC

13 күн бұрын

Probably more but keep in mind I would have ended up upgrading the 4S one as well which would have made it the same price as the 6s one then I would have upgraded the 6s one for the same price as an 8s etc etc :)

@@tepidwheelsRC Yeah it's kind of been something I've been into pretty much since I started in the hobby and I just can't get away from it. It's so much fun :-) That being said just taking them out of the box and driving them stock is also great. There is no wrong way to enjoy this hobby as long as you have a smile on your face!

With proper tires and a proper driver as long as it didn't have an aerodynamic issue and end up taking off I don't think 70 is out of the question. I was barely on it to get 53
