So, What R/C Did You Run Today?

[Guest D]

We will go with drool. It is a family site after all.

What is wrong with you! It's a ford for damn sake!

It's the mud. It could be a fugly Tesla truck in the mud, and Chewy gets all warm and extra fuzzy. And besides... Ford's Rule... Chevy's suck!

It's a damn good lookin Ford

To each his own but, I think across the board they all suck in their own way. Made to fail.
Except those Datsuns. Mine just keeps on going.
(there's no GIF here that represents mine!)

My track finally dried up enough to take a couple RCs out this evening.
Did some grading to fill in some of the low spots washed out ruts from all the rains we had the past couple weeks.

Took the MAXX slash out first since it was still muddy from last weekend, lol

After putting a pair of 3S batteries through the Maxx Slash I knew it was dry enough to break out one of my new Arrma Mojave’s , broke out the 6S version to do a little back to back comparisons with the Maxx Slash.

 

[9x19]

Nice

So how'd the comparison shake out?

 

[Doom!]

I haven't had this much fun with the trucks in a long time, it was a blast!

I love to hear this, that's what it's all about!

Similar power and size.

The Mojave had significantly greater suspension wheel travel.
The slash sets lower so overall had the advantage in stability in the turns , the Mojave seemed to take to the air with more ease and and control, it seemed to handle the landings a little better too.

That said I did put the Mojave on its top several more times then I care to admit. Lol.

Had to do the walk of shame 3 times with the Mojave and only once with Maxx Slash.

Now I should also mention that I am sure as I get more use to the Mojave’s handling characteristics, as well as making some added suspension tweaks , I am sure will improve the overall performance of the Mojave.
All of which I had already been doing with the MAXX slash, since I have had it for several months now, and ran it many times making adjustments as I went.

If I were going to race, with more of a serious intent to win, or I was running against skilled racers, I would be grabbing the MAXX Slash at least for now.

I really need more time to dial in the Mojave 6s and get use to its handling characteristics.

On a different note.
I do like the Traxxas clip less body and plastic chassis.
But even with the mud guards installed I still get a lot of rocks and debris in the chassis.
Nothing in my steering linkage so I still see the new 3D printed guards a success.

By comparison, the Mojave stayed much cleaner in its chassis tray., and that without any aftermarket mud guards.

The belly of the Mojave looks like hell aftef only one set of batteries through it, lol
Which in that regard I think I prefer the plastic chassis of the Traxxas .

If you keep them out of turtle mode (upside down) you won't notice so much.

Thanks for the comparison notes!

Had the Mojave Grom out in the gravel for a packs worth last night, always a hoot and fun to drive.

@CC1999 you could try the upgrade brand Mylar skids to protect the Mojave. Slide over stuff better too! Pic was when it was new.

 

[CJSRCLIFE]

How's it going everyone? Today i got to run my Felony for the first time with it's new stock Spektrum Firma 150 combo and it was great but i popped the screws out of the splitter a couple times and the battery connectors rubbed on the tires a bit. So i might have to shorten my IC5 to QS8 adaptors or just get a new pair of batteries with EC5 or IC5 connectors on them. Also i did a gps record on the Felony and got 60Mph out of her running my ZEEE 3s batteries.

 

[TeknoJ]

I suppose I’m in need of some heavier duty driveshafts

 

[RudyF6]

I ran my AX24.
I think I might need a servo!

 

[Mrgoodwrench35]

Nah, its still trembling in fear from your last crawl session. I've seen this before. Give it some time.

Servo chatter is annoying. Try dialing down your end points (travel) and see if it still does it. If so you probably need a new servo.

 

[RudyF6]

Nah, it's just dying. I'll run it til it quits then I have a takeoff to swap on it.
This one's my budget rig - nothing on it that wasn't free or very cheap!

 

[CanadianNEWB]

I ran my 2WD STAMPEDE VXL,.MY 4WD SLASH AND MY VINTAGE EMAXX
