I love my Fireteam! BTW a great mod for it are the M2C Racing ZRS shock caps... it eliminates the bladder and mostly eliminates the rear end's tendency to bounce upwards uncontrollably.

Those are just emulsion caps. Hot racing has had them for a long time. They're not great for all-around driving. Integy piggybacks emulsion shocks are much better and have fully adjustable rebound and compression via knobs. You can turn the stock caps to emulsion bladderless shocks too. 4 x16mm O-rings then drill and tap a bleed hole on the cap.

I have both. I prefer the Mojave on a track with friends for some closed-wheel rubbing and racing and the Fireteam for some high-speed bashing.
Another solid comparison👍 A lot to take into account but you have given a ton of info to make a solid decision.
Fireteam! Hankbrake is an awesome feature to have! and it looks better in my op
Great comparison video, keep em coming 👍
I really like the comparison videos, you could do it with almost all the manufacturers. I would like to see more of these videos Thanks.
Great detail. Thanks for putting it all together.
Just the comparison i was waiting for. Amain u r the best.
I have both. Definitely different driving experiences. Very hard to pick my fav as I absolutely love them both 😍
Have both, love both! The Fireteam is a bit more versatile especially for big air 🚀
I love SCTs, so I got the Mojave v2. I've beat the brakes off that thing. One of the toughest rigs. That being said, my buddy has a fireteam.. also a tough rig. If you understand the strengths of each rc and understand how to drive them, you can't go wrong with either. Really it's up to your preference, but both are really fun.
I was thinking about getting a Mojave to add to my basher collection. Your video helped me make the final decision to go ahead and buy it. Thanks!
Great vid and comparison! 🤘🏻
Great video! Thanks man!
Because your videos are so awesome, I drove quite a bit out of my way on a regular road trip that I make to see your store and track. A Main hobbies is awesome! Got some great advice on tires and picked some up. I look forward to visiting again soon. I wish you had a store near me. Brilliant.

Both awesome RC's have the same green blx mojave and i must say dang ive had so much fun moments with it, great for ripping
Wouldn’t replace my Mojave I love it! Great informative video as always, great stuff guys thanks
Some of the best review content available. Well sone sir.
Well they were both on sale this year .
I like this "VS' type of video, I'd be interested in comparisons of other trucks.
I've had the fireteam for a month and it's pretty good. Gets squirrelly but it's fun in the rough stuff. The bigger gear almost is unusable.
awesome my guy
a Talion would have been another good one to compare these with, i've driven all of these and the Talion was the most fun, especially with all the EXB parts and belted tires. the mojave tires on a Talion are awesome too though
@williamperri3437

Mojave tires on the Talion seems interesting but I love the stock tires on the Talion. 4s Back flips are a popular choice as well
Nice video! Loved the comparison 👏 👌 👍
i have them both , the fireteam is the best especially on kraton tires . For offroad i like the backflips. i removed the rear brake , i will try it on a two wheel verison when i find a good use one.
Fireteam is bad ass imo.
Mojave for me...the way it drifts on dirt is amazing...its not all about big air...now the udr looks better but u can only send it once then onto the operating table lol...
AMAIN as always for the WIN with a great comparison‼️💯👊

Cant agree more, Amain, 😉👍🏽💯
Imo the FT is a better basher like doing backflips etc but I'm more into racing and more realistic driving experience so I'd have to go with the Mojave 👍🏻
I hope there are some good bodies for the Fireteam in the near future. Still no good options that for correctly, although that F250 looked really good.
Can you give a shout out to rc boys
nice trucks, i prefer the fireteam

I love my fireteam, It was originally a kraton exb so I have the exb diffs, aluminum bulkheads and other upgrades, it’s a beast, handles and flies so well too, I like the Mojave but it jumps like crap, it parachutes like all sct.
Mojave ftw but I like the white camo Fireteam too.
I have the Fireteam & Senton 6s. Love both & drive both equally to death. Lol
duratrax Blinder, Badger, and Thrush fit well on the Mojave.
Fireteam is king!
Just putting this out there. The Fireteam body might be heavy, but it greatly contributes to the durability of it. I let my wife drive my Fireteam and she ran full speed into a light pole. She hit it so hard that the pinion gear flew off yet the chassis never bent at all.

Had a Mojave exb with Spektrum 8s electronics,nearly impossible to control,fun but requires lots of skill,the Fireteam is my favorite,you can drive it like a jerk and still keep it in line,only thing I did to it was put a 21T pinion gear,it does wheelies at will,blindingly fast.
The ebreak. Makes the fire team better then mojave but you don't need it the truck take conyers better then mojave without the ebreak it's less to roll over I like both if I had to pick fireteam more stable
Fireteem puts a smile on my face . I'm a neighborhood ditch stormer so it's right up my alley ( ditch ) .
Fireteam is the best driver I've experienced. I'm relatively new to rc, if you discount my neighbor showing off optima mids and turbo optima mids. Never got to run those. My vorza buggy rides better than my slash, original tmaxx electrified just likes to break plastic shafts. Fireteam body takes rolls and crashes exceptionally well, but it doesn't want to roll, even at speed.
hey i have a arrma senton but its the brushed version, could you do a video on brushless senton
I wish the Mojave EXB was still available.
My love goes to SCT's, so - Mojave!:)
They are both great but there is nothing like a the Mojave
after a full year of running both , this is not a fare comparison. the fireteam is easily the best out of these two. for more power without any modifications put the kraton 8s gen 1 system in there. if in aint now it will elevate to your favorite RC
Grabbed this when Arrma put it on sale for $399. I mean just fantastic of Arrma and Horizon when they do this for their fans. Just amazing price drop sales on their great vehicles unlike dumb Traxxas that gives free light kits on over priced vehicles….big whoop Traxxas….smh We just run and slide outs around on gravel and loose dirt. It’s just awesome!
I think the mojave looks sooo bad ass.i love it
🔥 team
Soooo what ur saying is we all need both... Ok On It!😅
there is no comparison each rc is very different. In tires, chassis, body's there will be many people who like the fireteam. but with time. The same thing will happen to the already forgotten axial yeti xl. If you look closely it's almost the same design just for some different arrangements. In my case I have never liked that type of design. I have had bashers, scts drifting rcs drag rcs and the ones that I liked the most are the scts like the udr and arrma mojave and the super baja rey v1 and 2. and the baja rey 1/10 scale. There will never be a comparison in these two different designs. That's what I think in my humble opinion.🤷
Fire team can handle some rough terrain.. reminds me of a real monster truck..
sledge vs E-revo 2.0 next?
Can the fireteam rear hand break be installed in the mojave and you need to start posting to Australia lol
Is there a different body for the fire team that will fit if so do u have a link for it thanks

How did I hit 62 mph with the Mojave right out of the box, without changing the pinion gear?
