I like the fact that the BLX version already has what looks like to be 100 plus dollars in upgrades over the brushed version not including the brushless system.
Yep, I just returned two of the brushed ones back to the hobby shop because I bought them a week before the new ones got released. Barely made the return window but doesn't make sense to keep them when going brushless was the plan the whole time. With the "mega" version just buying the metal diffs and hexes alone you are pretty much at the cost of the BLX.. but then you also get a full brushless system, aluminum shocks, and a gyro on top of it. No brainer. I think they need to reevaluate what they are going to sell the mega at now haha
I have the standard Mojave Grom. Basically done all the upgrades the BLX has just to make it more durabile. So it's nice to see Arrma fixed basically the weaknesses on the standard Mojave
I agree the the typhoon is a bit better of a ride but just like the baja truck version. Probably just purchased both of them. 😆 thank you for the video. Bro.
The addition of the gyro is a nice touch by Arrma on these small scale 3s cars. With so much power and speed, these lightweight short wheelbase cars can be jittery and hard to control. We have just added the Mojave Grom blx to the son's Christmas list! Hopefully Santa is good to us! I think our chances are pretty good! Lol! 😂
Really glad you were able to review these two. Okay I know you probably don’t know, or if you do, aren’t allowed to share. But would you say if someone wanted a grom with a little bit a of a beefier shock setup with more travel they should wait for the next grom release or do you think all groms will share the 58mm shock length for the time being?
They’re not going to change that , possibly they’ll be aftermarket chassis and I’m still not sure they increase tower height . Sounds like you might want a bigger rig
I’d really like to see a little upgrade/tuning video on these two trucks! I’m not sure if you can remove the drivers in the Mojave? That would get rid of some weight up high
The heads come off. The rest is molded in the inner body that has the body mounts. You could probably remove the inner part and mount with body posts and loose a lot of weight.
@@troycutsforth9234thanks for letting me know! Maybe I’ll trim as much as possible out for a track body. Hoping I can tune the shocks and diffs to make it a good little track ripper 😁
@@BeardRubEnjoyerI agree. Body roll is awesome, with some tuning you can get good body roll and good handling. I think sway bars will really help a ton, hoping someone makes some ☹️
I'm getting the black version. Sweet lil ride.
It looks sooo coool!! I’m guessing the Typhon handles better being lighter and wider but that Mojave looks 🔥
I like the fact that the BLX version already has what looks like to be 100 plus dollars in upgrades over the brushed version not including the brushless system.
It's worth the additional cost for durability alone, even if you don't need brushless speed.

Remember like a couple hundred years ago when the only RC cars that went 35 mph were nitro!👍
Lmao! That true! I’m old enough to remember that! I still have my first and last nitro. HPI road car.
@@familyrc777 yeah man, these days nitro is like buried dinosaur bones!
Nah I still have some nitros 😂
@ i’m sorry to hear that.🙁
That’s my local hobby shop! Great place and staff!
These look great.. I like that they are actual MPH not Traxxas MPH
that hobby shop looks like heaven. wow it's completely packed with stuff.
Man, I’d kill for the hobby shop like that near me. I have to go back 30 years since we’ve had anything close…
that has to be the most stocked hobby shop i have EVER seen!
Gallimods is where it’s at! That’s my local shop!
Awesome stuff. The close up shots really show the terrain the little tires are dealing with.
I agree the the typhoon is a bit better of a ride but just like the baja truck version. Probably just purchased both of them. 😆 thank you for the video. Bro.
Excellent comparison, have a Typhon coming and I think the proline badlands for the Granite will be perfect to truggify.
Nice to see them on track, thx for the vid!
I LOVE this platform!!! So easy to jump into RC with!!!!! Fun with the fam for cheap!!!
Cool this hobby shop is only 40 minutes from me I’m from New Milford Ct 👍
That shop is Rc heaven
Dang , i wish to have a shop like that around here!
We have a small track in the back yard that we run 1/16 slash's, Mini T's Mini JRX2's etc and trying to decide which of those would be the best!
I am jealous my hobby shop normally only has like three Arma RC cars I wish I had a hobby shop like that.!
Can you see if you can pair the esc/receiver with a DX3 radio and see if everything still works properly?
Nice to see an ACTUAL RTR kit not 'rtr' you need this and that

Great video! In Amsterdam we have to wait untill december 😢. Already pre-ordered one 💪
Great review. Thanks
You didn’t take us downstairs to the mini b/t track in the basement. Johns store is the best.

@ I feel like it’s possible that they make the towers taller with the Kraton but maybe not. I’m probably just gonna buy the Typhon blx
That place is packed full
i preordered the black one and some of the new 3s batteries that are coming out. Cant wait!!!
Do you have a link to that battery?

Are they gonna do that to the granite grom too?
Super nice Rc Truck💯🚘 I gotta get one of these. Great video Thanks Rc Driver
How does it do off-road? I can't assume great given it's small size and low profile
The ruts on the track kicked it up a bit. Smoother or loamy dirt surfaces would be the better spot to run on.
As one of the few that saw and drove the mini maxx.. which of the both would you get for your money? I just can‘t decide please help
Apples oranges brother good time for RC
Cool and great review but personally prefer the Typhon 😊 Pete
Will be interesting if I can get the new grom blx system working with the radiomaster mt12 4in1. Currently have 2 original groms already working.
I have the brushed mojave and the typhon grom i could upgrade the motors and esc for them😊 i could get the wheels and bodies for color change😊
You have such great facilities in the US ! It’s not fair 😂😂😂nice video
I guess a few more months will bring the EXB versions lol
Rcdrivers when the Traxxas Jato 4x4 Buggy review
Little beast 🤘👍
Gallimods is the best!
Does spektrum have a 3s sized for this?
I’m sold……
buy all the r1 upgrade for the b7 and make a video about it
it need a center diff. any way to install one?
Programmable ESC?
The ESC isn't programmable. The DSC has 4 modes, off, low, med, and high.
@@rcdriver Awesome Thanks
What diff fluids do you recommend for front and rear?
7000(f) 5000(r)
@rcdriver sweet thank you
I put utter butter in mine I thought they weren’t sealed like the 14 reflex s , I’m going try this
If only one would you pick this or the blx Typhon
Probably the Typhon BLX if I could only have one.
Why is the mojave grom so much slower than the typhon grom? I am not sure which one to get. I guess i gotta get both lol.
Mojave body weighs a ton compared to the Typhon. I like the effect it has on the handling
@@BeardRubEnjoyerI agree. Body roll is awesome, with some tuning you can get good body roll and good handling. I think sway bars will really help a ton, hoping someone makes some ☹️
Should have been DSMR and AVC. Oh well, hopefully first gen will be cheaper for us to modify properly.
Nope because they’re all sold out, just thought 💭
@@RcPlayer-tt2vwLOL I know, grrrrrrr
I don't know which to get. I like the looks of the Mojave, but I want the one that handles the best
I'd go for look on Groms. If you want great handling, get the TA Reflex 14B. Has a center diff, brushless, exact same size.
I bought both at same time and wondered why I bought the grom when I knew better 😮😂 I already had the 14T same as the 14b cept for body and wheels 🛞
And I haven’t blown diff on TA knock on wood 🪵
Killer
Do you prefer the new blx version or with the Furitek drop in system? Awesome hobby shop great vid!
🤘🏼🤘🏼
Must have... Oh yes...
Time to scoop up a bunch of brushed ones for cheap lol
Where ? I think sold them all first , atleast the Mojave’s
@ hopefully eBay or Facebook lol
@@413RC plenty typhons around , they never dropped the price on v2 4s outcast and 2.5 is same price , I forgot to ask hobby shop how’s that work
epic
Teal! And suck it Traxxas only making the mini maxx 2s capable!!!!
Ask them how many pegs of redcat parts.
I like it but I do not like the color choices. I’d prefer something more scale and less toy in a color scheme.
Sup
No traxxas
4x4???
Yes
Correct 👍
Firssttttt🎉
