Crawler Canyon Presents a One-and-Done, from Parts Bins to Wheeling in one day 

Glad you are discovering that trail/scale stuff is "more driver skill"= greater reward. Not as capable, but so rewarding when you have those "holy crap! it made it!!" moments. No truggy achievement unlocked!! 😁

I've watched your work, listened to your excellent advice. You have the voice of reason in this hobby. I would do anything for a quick unformal interview to hear what the man behind the camera says. I think it would be fun!

I'm converting my trx4 Defender (It's old, from the week they first went on sale originally) to a sport, but keeping the two speed and locking diffs. It's been fun watching it get more stable and more capable as I tweak this and that. It's no easy mode rig, but it's so much damn fun to nail a line that I thought was impossible.

I find the Trx4 sport grill and headlights remind me of a new generation ford ranger. Mine is like a tank. Awesome video.

Love the lifeguard truck look. I also think the expedition rack looks spectacular, totally worth the weight. I kept an old sport body for when I want to perform but I usually use my “scale body” with interior, expedition rack, all the lights etc. My Sport is by far the most capable thing in my fleet and was my first truck. It’s a total Traxxas fanboy assembly, every bell and whistle. I even run an upgrade Traxxas servo. I know it’s a bit of a niche position but I was gifted a Sport RTR as my first crawler and couldn’t be happier. I’d like to do a sport kit but I already have one and a Defender so I should probably not. We’re mostly trail up here in SE Michigan but trail builds can be an absolute blast. And flipping the bumper brackets, raising the sliders with spacers and trimming the body will add performance for free.

You need some sort of fan for those nats. The truck stops have a neck fan thing that blows a breeze up over your face that might help. Idk I haven't tried one of those yet. A shop fan, even from a distance is enough to help with the gnats & mosquitoes both too

What a great looking red! I'm a fan of the Sport body even though some folks don't like it. I have to agree with your vision of it being a lifeguard truck and it being a Sport, it's pretty darn capable

The TRX4 79 Bronco RTR I bought this spring with two speed transmission comes with 11/45….and S1 1.9s

Pandora 😂 I know the feeling ,I sat at the bench at 5pm to cad some axle clamps and suddenly it's 1am and I'm fitting them hahaha

CLIFFORD! 😎 Lovely TRX-4 😊

Performance is spot on as usual. Like what a work of art 🖼️🛻😎😎😎

The fitment gets even more impresdive when you fit the light kit including the rack lights. Everything has a perfectly sized groove or clip for wires, light buckets etc. I held off getting a Sport kit for a few years but it is indeed such a great "assemble".

Love the vid!! Thanks for all you do!!

I have a trx4 sport, changed shocks, long story that involved a three year old but I digress!, changed wheels, tires and the servo and I actually like it. I have fun with it.

I like reversing the bumper mounts on my TRX4. I place the rear mount on the front UPSIDE DOWN. and the front on the rear upside down. This gives just a little more approach and departure angle. I have trx4 with a rear mount on the front and back upside down. I have trx4 with a front mount on the front and back upside down. Just depends on the body, tires, and bumpers I use.

You can trim the body some and flip bumper brackets over to gain more clearance on the sport.

That front bumper has a place built into it to bolt in a light bar too. It's got a flat plate with a screw on each side, that's just a blank to fill the gap for the light bar basically. Part number is TRA8088

Also already has desert lizard shocks and has a ton of extra stuff that come with the I know you had said the desert lizards are really good preferably really like draft Tech

Knife Party! Good choice.

Another great video. Thank you for all you do. Haven't missed a video since I don't know when. I do have some TPU on the way and plan to make some tire inserts. I will find a way to get them to you for testing and your opinion.

This heat ain't no fun. I broke down in Nebraska on Friday. Mid day was only in the 80's outside, but inside the truck was an oven. My roof measured 117, door panels 112, window curtain 118, seats 106, floor 104, bed was 102, etc.. I was being cooked alive Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. They finally got me a hotel Sunday night. It's now Tuesday and they're acting like I've been in the hotel for too long. The KW dealership hasn't even started on my truck until today. I asked them if they wanted me to go live under the bridge until the truck is fixed today, the way they was acting lol

What a view in the canyon❤beautiful an great build an paint on the truck🎉

I put the two speed on my Sport with a HH Crawlmaster 12T motor with 11T Pinion and it was a perfect solution. Crawls very nice in first gear and plenty fast in second gear. I was debating going to a 9T pinion just to maximise the slow speed and to make the second gear at initial speed safer on the motor, but it is a really nice set up and I prefer it over the single speed.

I’m not gunna lie, I thought this was gunna be a full size real truck build. But I’m even more impressed and gotta give you an applause at this RC stuff. Good on ya!!

A Canyon Scrawler RTR who'd a thunk, everything you put your hand to is magic! Awesome as always and thanks.

easy mod - flip between the rear bumper mount and the front - and put the rear bumper mount upside down in the front for way better approach and yes - the trx4 sport is a great looking rig with all the plastic stuff - and he looks like another looker EDDIE

A 3Brothers 10 poll motor makes that ESC good.

Nice rig, was the first one I owned. Really liked seeing shiny for a change! On a different note, I put a set of Injora KLERMS on some narrow 2.2 wheels with the stock foams, Pretty good!!

The most trouble free, most reliable rig I have ever owned. Its the Toyota Camry of the RC Crawler world. 😅

Great video.

North west scaler designs scattergun chassis is worth a look for people who want a more lcg/comp orientated assembly, local company here in the pnw. My chassis is still stock, did forward battery mount off thingiverse, some samix brass up front, flipped bumper mounts and trimmed the body a bit. Ive got some tunning video on my channel with it doing some pretty hard lines. Grab a mosquito head net from walmart!

My first crawler and proper hobby spec car was TRX4 Sport RTR, now it doesnt look like it at all haha. Fantastic crawler. May consider a second Sport, as Kit and leave it wiht the body and expedition Rack, my old Sport body is on my SUmmit now haha.

Trx4 straight out the box is great and better yet the best mods on these rigs are free aka tuning and suspension tweaks and getting that body sitting lower for better LCG, removing the expedition rack improves this rig big time

This rig makes my heart happy sir 👌👌😎😎😎🛻🛻🛻🛻🛻🛻🛻🛻

Underrated truck. I've heard people write them off without even driving it simply because its a Traxxas.

I do like the look of the scaler tires on there and have tried a set (also on a TRX4), but sadly I was disappointed. They do alright in the dry, and the hotter the better (so your location is probably ideal). They load up and do not clean out well in any kind of moist dirt or mud. I live in the Northeast (New Hampshire), and Mt Cardigan is nearby, so I do mostly trailing. It starts out with dirt/rock, and tree roots, eventually changing over to all rock and ledge on the summit. I tried different inserts as well as a lot of break-in time but could never get the scaler tire to perform decently. Too bad, as they looked so good. Anyways, nice build.... err... assembly.

That made me want to buy a TRX4

What he is. Is looking good in red

I’m excited to see the next rig sir. Stealth Xf and trx axles. Yessss pleaseee. 😎😎😎😎😎. Big od build ??????

I bought the Injora Clone of this rig simply cuz it isnt a traxxas branded rig (I wont get into the details so lets just say I am not a fanboy of the traxxas line) and I got rid of the switchable locking diffs and just have locked diffs now with a 2 speed trans which I absolutely love.

I’m thankful to stumble upon this channel sir. How do I become a member, I can’t seem to find a link. Thank you!

Why buy spool parts when you can use 2 washers? Just install them right between the sliding collar and the bearing. Dang near free lockouts

As much as I dislike them as a company, that trx4 sport is very nice.

I'm still sad traxxas stopped making the sport kit :(

Thanks for sharing, what tires are you running?

110 degree are you in the Sahara desert 😂

Is the Sport the most durable vehicle Traxxas produces? Its got to be up there.

🔥

What do you want for a copperhead Esc?

Now that I’ve played with the programming card with my fusion se, I’ve found some odd settings. On some settings, it will roll backward before it goes forward even on a slight uphill.

1ST :) YEY

Why vynil paint vs like lexan paint?

"I made this",is my cringe

"at the age where rc cars are still cool" me whos 16 and hides the hobby from people who arent my mates

This rig tho. Absolutely EPIC Mr canyon. 💯😎😎😎😎 🛻🛻 🛻
