Here is mine.
Stock with TC diff mount and ADU bracing system. 9imod 40kg servo. Stock Mojave wheels and shocks and springs. CC MMX8S and the HW 4985 motor. Gearing 23/46t. I just reduced that to 20/46t.
I love the handling of this thing.

That a sweet rig! How's the handling with the mojave shocks? Did you have to mod anything to run them?

Thanks.
No mods. I am now using the stock TC top bushings instead of the Arrma caps and balls in the picture, and thicker shock oil.
Edit: they're actually the stock Asuga shock protectors, dremeled to fit the Arrma shocks.
I am using the stock TC bushings with Arrma shocks on the Muraco.

The Arrma shock shafts are thicker. I bent the stock TC shafts too easily. I also found the TC shocks fiddly to tune the rebound right while changing oil. All in all i like the Arrma shocks better. And they match the red Asuga nicely.
The stock 6s Mojave springs are just right for the handling of the Asuga. The stock Asuga springs made the car undriveable in our usual bash spots. Too bouncy . We couldn't get it to track straight and we were unable to put the power down.
So apart from some tougher braces and some tuning, the car is stock.
I may try Mojave upper arms next to get rid of the slop. I don't see a need for more upgrades yet.

How does it handle on 8S? Is it just maniacal? Does the drivetrain seem to be able to handle 8S power alright?

Handling is good although I haven't tested it with the hobbywing max6 g2 system yet as that is a bit heavier than the mmx8s/4292 combo I had in it, but I also widened it at the same time so going to assume it still handles similar. Drivetrain handles the power just fine, it's my third corally on 8s and I've yet to have any drivetrain related issues with any of them

What diff weights are you running with that power, thanks

I'm not sure, I own far too many rigs to remember what each has so I always label the diffs. I typically start off with 30k front, 20k rear on bashers then depending on what platform I'm dealing with 500k or 1m in the center

Hey there! I broke the stock upper arms and am trying out the Mojave arms on mine. How should they be oriented? I think I might have installed them upside down or backwards, because I can't budge the steering when I try to move the wheels with my hands. Any advice for a semi-noob trying to install them? Much thanks in advance!

Here's a picture of how they're installed. Hope this helps! Frank

Thanks again! Quick question--so I installed the Mojave arms, and when I tightened the pillow balls all the way, the steering bound up. It looks like the Mojave arms might be a few mm shorter than the stock Asuga arms. Should I loosen the pillow balls a little and leave some thread showing? Will that solve the issue?
