I love my Defender and my wife loves her sport TRX 4. Best trucks in our collection. We love competing with them. Got to say that her sport is a beast in the rocks with just steel wheels and proline super scamper tires as mods. She built custom high clearance bumpers and sliders that are a must.
Some really solid mods!! 1080 is one of if not thee best brushed ESCs out there. AGF servo is a solid servo that make se incredible power. Interested in seeing what you do with the sport kit!!
I did the chassis kit also. Being a former racer I care little about the body being all fancy, it’s going to get destroyed. The trx4 is an amazing vehicle! Mine is basically stock, just a few parts to strengthen the chassis and brass portal covers in the front. I do run two smaller 1400mah batteries, one up front and one in the stock tray. Keeps a little weight in the rear. I haven’t needed to change the motor or esc yet but have the 1080 n a HH 12T crawmaster sport setup waiting. I’m impressed every time I take mine out for a run on the rocks, the crawler TA tires are insane!
I love the TRX4 I have 3 sports and a Defender , my blazer and Defender has got every anodized red aluminum part that is for them very little plastic and love every bit of them
I've ran my trx4 sport since they came out, only things I've done was change the stock servo for the $25 dollar cheapo on Amazon and a set of deepwoods tires. It's a beast performance wise and I've yet to break anything! I started out in the hobby with a Redcat gen7 sport and have done LOTS of mods and upgrades to it and the trx4 beats it hands down right out the box...but still love my redcat lol.
I like that body.Nice setup.My sport is never finished.I bought the sport, as it was far cheaper than the bronco.I should of just bought the bronco. Best and most recent upgrade was a axe foc 3300kv combo. WOW! It upgraded my quickrun setup by far. Love my trx4!!
@@TheRCNetwork Yea the axe system is crazy. I might buy another traxxas kit and use all my take off parts from mine.I have literally replaced every part needed for the kit.Can never have too many rc's!!
Hey Rich, the Axial RR10 Bomber interior fit perfectly in the Sport Body so it would probably fit that body also. You would have to work out a rear support where the other has the underside of the bed surface to use. Great video!
TRX Sport is such a platform with good performance out of the box. After your upgrades, this is ready to dominate 💪 Do you prefer these tires over the uber popular Hyrax? looking forward to the new kit project!!! Thanks Rich!
Yes, the TRX platform in general is great....which is why I picked up a second. As for the BFG's - I'm a huge fan right now. I think for fast stuff, the hyrax is still king....but these BFG's keep getting better with each run
Awesome vid my rc friend i have a trx4 sport and a trx6 getting ready to pick up a chassis kit 👍🏻 you need to check out the protek 4100 mah shorty packs they are still small enough for the front tray and i get over 2 hrs run time 👍🏻💯
As for your end result, do you think its a better option to spend the extra $100 and get the Bronco setup RTR out of the box and start there, or does the chassis kit give you a better end result? I am debating on going between the chassis kit or just buying a RTR bronco kit. Mainly because I know im going to mod it to death, so do I just start with something bare and build it how I want it to begin with, or just buy a RTR setup and throw a battery in it and have fun.
In the end, the Bronco and the Kit I built are nearly identical. You'll lose the expertise you get from building a kit, other than that, you're set. The Bronco is a great body, BTW
They really weren't available at the time....but I do like the Hobbywing set up better...as it uses a regular program card vs. what ever castle link the Holmes' uses
It's hard to beat the HW price and I hear you about the convince of programming cards. I've become used to the Castle/Holmes programming parameters though, particularly the throttle/brake curve adjustment.
They're the SSD RC Steel Slot wheels - a complete pain the ass to assemble on a tire - hard to clamshell them and orientate them, as they're not even from slot to slot. They have 6 lug nuts and 5 slots, so you have to keep rotating them until you can get the slots to align with the lugs. I ended up running longer screws to clamshell them initially until I could get the tire mount started. I ran the truck in water and had to dry the foams and never put them back on. www.ssd-rc.com/1.9-steel-slot-beadlock-wheels-(black).html
Are you not concerned about running trails with the front overdrive installed, my understanding is that whilst ideal for crawling the difference in front and rear gearing is not suitable for trail running.
It's not ideal....it can strain the transmission and driveshafts. But for the times that I'm not crawling with it, it's minor vs. the advantage of overdrive while crawling
Rich awesome videos sir !! Do you recommend the Traxxas 400 oz servo ? I just want something to run with the Traxxas bec and Traxxas brushed esc. Thank you
hi T R... ' nice traxxas truck... i have 4 good R/C traxxases... 1- bandit 1- rustler 1- stampede with 6 wheels / 2 ESCs / two 550 motors / 2 packs of batterys and 1 reciever 1- villain boat all 4 models are 550 motors... already video in my channel
Not sure what you're referring to.....the bumpers? Well, for both front and rear bumpers it's about $100 - but in the grand scheme of things, for hand crafted US made steel bumpers, that's pretty good
If your channel and videos weren’t as brilliant as they are I would unsubscribe because of the advert I had to sit through even though I pay for Premium RU-vid. 👎
Thanks for the feedback Todd - I do take on sponsors from time to time, to help pay the bills, so to speak. With my in video ads, you can easily scroll right through them...they're usually no longer than 60 seconds
@@TheRCNetwork Thank you for replying. Please don’t point out the obvious as in you have the adverts to pay for bills and I can easily scroll through the adverts. One of my bills is RU-vid and I’m not getting what I paid for on a number of channels. Adverts annoyed me enough over years I’m willing to pay to remove them. Thanks anyway, as I said your videos are worth it. I’ve learnt and will continue to learn an abundance amount of info from you.
