We teased we were going to do this project series a while back and it’s finally time! Winter is the perfect time to sit down and overhaul your rig with a simple cleaning or to go completely wild with a project build. We’re going for the project build! This time we are featuring the Traxxas TRX-4 sport. We’ve completed a TRX-4 project a while back with our Lifted Bronco build. This was a big success and helped a lot of RC Driver’s with their builds. So we’re back with another TRX4 and we’re going to outfit this truck with a bunch of Traxxas option parts. Do you need everything you’re going to see here? No! The objective here is to show you what is available and you can decide what is right for your TRX-4. This video in particular is the Intro video to our project series. This series will run over the next several weeks until it’s complete. We’ll give you an idea in this video what you can expect to see. Are you a Traxxas TRX-4 fan? Hit subscribe so you don’t miss any videos!

Good lord that's a lot of parts. I had to look all the parts up and the cost . ( traxxas prices ) All parts plus the rtr sport vehicle. That's $1069.47 in parts and $359.99 trx-4 sport for a total of $1429.46!! Yes I was BORD !!! 😁😁😁

@oldironsfury 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing . The TRX-4 sport is a solid truck !!

@cjv29er 4 года назад

Yes what a timely video series for me. I just finished my Sport Kit and had a couple of trail runs, rock crawls on it and I LOVE IT. Now I know why there are hardcore fans of this TRX4 platform. In its stock, assembled form I honestly think it climbs, side hills very well even with the rear cage installed. I look forward to the next videos on this. It will help me decide on which parts (both Traxxas and aftermarket brands) to get. In fact, I was so happy with my build that I already ordered another Sport body as an alternate, with the expedition rack and basic light bucket grills. Awesome Greg! I can’t wait. ☺️

@SebastianLong 4 года назад

I'm looking forward to this build series. I've got the TRX4 Bronco and it's pretty well dialed in as far as I'm concerned ATM. Maybe in the distant future I might put on aluminum axles or the lift kit, etc,etc. Right now it has aftermarket aluminum beadlocks, tires, servo, light kit, spare tire carrier, bumpers, winch, and Proline shocks. Had a roof rack on it but was too heavy and I removed it. My neices have Sports and they seem to like them. One neice is 8, the other 11. I already purchased them a pair of aluminum servo horns to be ready when theirs go out. Not sure on which servos I want to get them yet, cause that will be next. I'm sure I'll get them the same servo my brother has in his, it's working well. The servo I run in mine is a lot more expensive and I'm sure they won't need one like I run. Other than the mods I listed on mine, I've got the Traxxas Traxx which I've yet to run on it. No other mods that I can think of. I'm content on how it is right now but I do intend on putting the Hobbywing Axe system in it when the current motor and/or ESC dies.

You are missing narrow fender kit with rubber fender extensions. Helps with mud and dirt plus it gives you forward mount options and multiple shock options. You also can add rear underdrive for like 23% overdrive total! I would add the 2spd kit for bashing capability and upgrade to brushless. Maybe 550 3300 axe.

@TheWright1 4 года назад

How about a before and after run video to see if all the upgrades paid off?

@Guy-em4ck 4 года назад

The only ones that would pay off would be the servo, aluminum portals for front, brass portal weights for front , aluminum knuckles, and bead locks. The others are cosmetic.

@roberth5370 4 года назад

But many of the cosmetic parts ie. the rear rack will add weight and make the truck top heavy.... so that will change the performance

@tomlucasrccrawlers9108 4 года назад

Those complaining that he gets the Traxxas upgrades for free....here's what you do; Buy thousands in video equipment. Find what people want to see. Film thousands of hours of footage. Spend countless hours editing. Go to hundreds of events. Compete constantly and win some. Spend thousands of your own money building cool rc's. Get your RU-vid numbers up. Stay motivated. Make hundreds of calls for sponsorships. Be nice. It's ALOT of work. I know alot guys that are sponsored....they put in alot of work...alot of that takes them away from their families and you really don't make alot of money. And sponsorship doesn’t always mean free stuff , sometimes...most times it's just a huge discound. At the end of the day if the company sees that your not productive...they dump you.

@tomlucasrccrawlers9108 4 года назад

Traxxas is doing some cool stuff. Question...why overdrive the front? Higher gearing means possible torque-twist. Why not underdrive the rear?

@rcdriver 4 года назад

Tom Lucas After briefly skimming over some TRX4 discussions, it seemed overdriving the front was the way to go and torque-twist was minimal. Probably should have picked up the underdrive set as well. I’ve never tried either on a TRX-4 myself and looking forward to see how it drives. Perhaps the different gear set offerings and combos would be a good stand-alone test video.

@tomlucasrccrawlers9108 4 года назад

@@rcdriver I always underdrive the rear , not just for the possible torque-twist but because you only gear-down at the pinion "so much"....but you can gear-up to the moon.

@familyman8644 4 года назад

Rpm parts better for bashing. As you said truck needs some flex or shits gonna bend even that cnc shit. If it doesn't bend something is going rip out the chassis. I like rpm because if I hit a wall at 50mph all I break is a camber block. If you have that aluminum it bends and breaks more expensive parts like the a arm or even chassis
