Don't do this to the TRX4 

Aftermarket foams make a huge difference! Nice vid

Top video! I find most foams that come with tyres are super soft. Even the TRX-4 Sport is heavier than most rigs out the box, for my heavy trail rig I use dual stage foams to stop this problem.

Yep, running the wrong tyres makes a massive difference. Nice video.

Foams make a world of difference, I run the proline dual stage foams all around on my TRX4. My rig is a little shy of 10 pounds. Heavy rig a lot brass up front with weighted wheels. Crawls very good.

I'm groovin on the pro-line dual stage foams and hirax tires, on my K5 blazer ,lift kit, brushless, brass ect... No problems on the trails or rocks and I live in the foothills.Nice vid bro!🤓👍✌️

Nice demonstration! 👍👍 Exactly this happened to a friends TRX Defender with lots of weights and the performance decreased 👆 Appreciate your visit 😃

Airing down too much is a beginner mistake at the trail head! (Jk) Thank you for sharing, I run a set of proline dual foams on my heavy trx4 with hyrax. After 2-3 battery packs, the performance was way better!

An interesting video, thank you! I'm just getting into RC crawling, with a cheap and cheerful FTX Mauler. I had thought about adding zinc weights (that you'd use for balancing full size car wheels) into the wheel rims on the Mauler (I upgraded to Alloy beadlocks), but then that would add extra stress onto the drive train, particularly the drive shafts and gearing... I already stripped the plastic diff lock spools on the Mauler after a few weeks, eventually replacing them with alloy ones from Aliexpress. I am experimenting with 50g of weights gorilla taped to the front axle housing, however after watching this video, I'm not entirely sure that is actually helping my crawler perform better!

Having no resistance in your tire is an issue but if you get a heavy vehicle having your tire conform more with dual stage foams allows a larger contact patch thus more friction on whatever surface or slope. It also helps with surface conformity so if your on a sandstone hill for instance that has a ton of tiny grooves or small jutting points a softer foam and more tire contact make a ton of difference. That said theres a Goldilocks zone you wanna hit because if your tire collapses too much if effects side hilling and vertical climbing if your rear tires/side tires are completely flat under heavy stress

nicely done

Thanks for the info bro

How much weight would you say the trx4 with stock tires and stock electronics can comfortably handle

Informative!

Cool info man. Me personally I hate looking at a truck and seeing a lot of brass under it

Not sure about the guy you met, but I added all chassis alloy, f/r bumpers raised/tucked, 2.2 beadlocks w/mudslingers, long arm kit, 120mm shocks, axles and all brass down below -except those cheesy bolt on and wheel weights🤮. Absolutely zero issues so far, except when it does decide to roll and on a steep hill GRAB IT!! Very very heavy 😅. Made my trx4 unstoppable on the trail and creek's though. Tire foams that are the right size and density (med+) are crucial. Tuning with good shocks like desert lizard is also so important. Love my first trx4 build💟 will not be my last.

Hey , you are running standard foams, if you put Proline or Crawler Innovation foams that will charge everything.

Heavy is good, heavy is reliable and if it does not work, you can always hit them with it.

Where did you get the bumper guards for the front bumper? Those are awesome

I keep my trucks as light as possible… for hardbodies atleast. I really like crawler innovations deuces wild single stage closed cell foams. They don’t fold and allow fantastic steering and side hilling. Single for mud use and the duals if they’ll never get wet

Dual stage foams and stiffer springs compensate for the heavy body.

Great vid brother!! New SUBSCRIBER here! 🤜💥🤛

Air tight tire wheel combo works good on light rigs

question I’m about to add a whole bunch of brass parts for better crawling that almost weighs up to 2 pounds! Or 948 grams roughly. Can I add this without changing the motor? And if so what’s the max amount of weight I can add without hurting the motor or it’s performance severely…

Would this be solved by using harder foams?

2:59 I like the authentic Jurassic Park reference. Look poppa, a real dinosaur! Hyrax tires & two stage foams saved me...

I see your one of the lucky ones that purchased a p2 prometheus, nice🤙

Where did you get those windows on the sport shell from

Super bro

How much would you charge for another 3d printed blazer?

Wish I could go back to when I first got my TRX4 2021 Bronco. Before I even ran it I spent a LOT of money going for scale. Heavy metal front & rear bumper, roof rack, alloy wheels, interior, light kit.. It was HEAVY and flipped easily. 14MM wideners now the front tires rub. Truck sags and even the rear rub. Took off the roof rack, stock width... Truck was fine stock and seems people just like when the delivery truck arrives with shiny/fresh aluminum "upgrades."

Gravity is always pulling ⬇️. As your model tilts up, gravity is still pulling down. Weight, positioning low or high toward CG becomes less relevant the steeper the 📐. The stickier the tire helps, but it’s going to flip. On the TRX4, weight hanging on the front of the center frame is all that’s needed. For fun, what’s the max angle your model will climb on particle board? Mine is 52°-53°. 54 it flips. I can provide video.

Thought I was still in the 90s with that music

The channel should be called, DON"T TO THIS TO YOUR TRX4. lol

I like it heavy.the more heavy it is ,the easiest it climb

Wrap the wheels with lead wheel waits, then put tier and foam on.. wait it tiers is the best place make them heavy if you want alot of extras on top

So my uncle has the TRX4 defender an he drove in some water and in doing so it did something to the tires and made them super soft like that and now it looks like it has flat tires all around. So my question is why did it do that?

Nobody puts weight ontop of the car, you put it as low down as you can to lower the center of gravity. If you manage to put the weight where it belongs, aka in the wheel hubs, you have huge benefits. Also, running without wheel foams make you look silly when you try to prove a point.

No foam?

Can't you just put some foam in the tires to help with this issue and keep the truck heavy??

I think some good dual stage tire foam would correct this problem

You really compared adding weight to the axles to adding a heavy hard body on top.

Use the proline 2 stage foams and fix that issue

You may get more grip on some parts of rock sections but it will ruin the tiers ofc

its not about simply putting more weight ... its about putting it at the right place !! and lower the center of gravity ... in certain cases ... some driver would prefer a better scale feeling .. to keep the realism .. me .. i have a defender , im putting 900 grams diff to compensate the weight of the cherokee harbody on my truck .. nooo its not a competition truck , but its built more for a scale .. so i have the right tire rigidity to match the weight too .

hey love the vids man but could u talk instead of music when driving the rc

Seems like either u have hella soft foams. Or. U cut the foams because that body can't be that heavy

Subscribed#280 bro👌👍👍

it looks like your running no foam or incredibly soft foam, try dual stage foam. one better for a tire set up and also great with weighted rigs.

Tires look like they don’t have foam in them.. I have weight on my trx4 n the tires look a lil flat but the performance is stil ther.. no issues wat so ever.. u can see it in my videos that I’ve posted on utube

Of course you are going to have that much tire roll if you're not using adequate foam

Where to buy it,,trx 4???

don't look like there's any tire foams in there

😉👍💯

I dont care what kind of weight you run if you are running stock foams that should be your first upgrade.

nothing you cant fix with some 3d printed wheel inserts 😁

Those tires couldn’t have had any foam in them. If they did it was shot & not doing anything.

First off the tires dont even look like they have any foam in them

Mt trx4 loves weight

Just add stage one foams to the tires. Problem solved

I cut my own close cell foams,

You need better foams!

Put some new foams in it. They are worn out

Heh, I can see that that body could have done with a layer of filler before painting. Both to smooth it over and to add even more weight!!!!!!!!!! 😉

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe .

ADD FOAM NEXT TIME LMAO

get better firmer foams and never worry again. i got that set and they are rubbish, they are waaaaay too soft.and do that constantly, not even good for trailing ....they are for light rigs perisd

You put a proline blue foam in that tire......it will not do that....

I dont feel like this is an accurate representation. Yes weight can do this. But a stiffer foam doesnt cost much.

😬

sell me that blazer body

Mmmmmmm

Wtf man

Disturbing music considering current events.

Good video but the music sucks

Most annoying music ever, too bad looked interesting.

Plz give me traxxas sport
