@KnowAir, @SirCrashALot said he drove his Mojave with Typhon diffs, you tried to emphasize that by asking driving with buggy diffs. @Sandracer_NL asked what that meant. You reiterated the Mojave and Typhon diffs. And I thought it meant bad as in pc buggy.... 😅😅🤣🤣 Phew .

I already got a spare servo and receiver. Just need the car, motor, esc part.
I am calculating now and making an application letter for the wife (j/k).

Glad you understood.. LOL. I get carried away sometimes..🤷‍♂️🤪

Well it is the searching game. 599 euro is the cheapest I can find. Let's see if the darkest friday of the year will serve me right.

Roller at rcspeedshop.nl is between 449 and 469 depending on colour. That would leave you 150-130 to find your own electronics. Again, the stock motor and esc are very good, but that is something to think about,
 
One of my Mojaves is running GP6 diffs. Advantage being the larger diff pinions.
I figured the same could be established with Typhon diffs, ao i put a set of those in the Fireteam.
On Tyres for the Shiroi: the stockers don't hold up. Sandracer mentioned Mojave 6s tyres. I opted for the Mojave 4s tyres. They are almost the same size as the Shiroi's.

Yup I saw that price. Esc/motor is 139 incl shipping at Metz. Which makes 590.
I think, I go for the 599 euro version (Monsterhopups) and exchange and sell the servo/receiver/radio.
 
The shiroi is an absolute weapon on 6s no doubt about it, never had any experience with the mojave or maxx slash but 110% shiroi is pretty damn good. only problems I had after running it 4 or 5x a week for the past few months is the transmitter range is supposed to be 300+ meters but mine seems to be a lot less the steering and throttle lags a bit could be because I've got some cheap lights plugged into the receiver? But from what ive seem from other people's videos they don't have this problem. The stock tires are hit and miss have had to glue them a few times now, the body cracks easy if you don't reinforce it and the body clip holders snap easy too, apart from that it's a banging sct

I think that my brother complained about the Asuga radio for the same thing, latency. It has a delay in throttle and steering response.
 
Crazy as it sounds, I just switched all my fleet over to Traxxas TQi this year after running Flysky GT3b for 15 years. That radio can only hold 10 models in its memory, which meant I had to have 2 to run my cars.
The TQi has 25 model memory and while it may be cheap, that’s one of the reasons I went with it. I have 3 of them and my brother has at least a half dozen TQi’s. That equals a lifetime supply, LOL. Latency and range are great, the Link app is pretty easy to use too.
 
Because of the weak signal (I lost signal driving between buildings in a range of 20 metres) I bought a Radiolink RC4GS, also because I was going to buy a second car.
Now I got the RC8P. Still Radiolink. Haven't driven a car yet.

Up close it's fine in the car park but when I go over the fields it's pretty shoddy distance and latency wise, considering it's nearly a £600 truck you'd expect the ct2r would be better could just be my specific one to be fair. I had better distance using the etronix transmitter from the ftx evo30 😆

I have 3 Traxxas TQI radios that i don't use.
Back when i only had 2 Slashes, i experienced bad range and interference, so i went with FlySky GT5 radios.
The GT5's are all right. The range is good. The interface is simple enough. I have no complaints about latency.
I quickly found out that they also had problems with range and interference, but it was only in one particular bash spot.
It turned out a nearby cell phone tower was to blame. In hindsight, the Traxxas radios may be better than i initially thought. Their receivers are way more expensive than the FlySky's though, so i stuck with FlySky.
On top of that, Traxxas only uses 6v for the system voltage.
I prefer 7.4v for the upgraded servos and for the Rocket RC fans i put on every motor and ESC.
The GT5 offers the ability to program 20 trucks on a single radio, but my daughter and i used to run cars together, so i got 2 of them. Now i have room for programming 40 trucks.
I need more trucks. 😀

Yeah those 1 radio multiple cars situations make those radios (flysky, radiolink) very handy.
I also need more trucks but then I need a bigger house.
