I just picked one of these up. Looking into those wheels for sure! Do you still recommend more than their offset to prevent binding? And do you think they'll work well on an otherwise stock car? Not looking to put much more into it at the moment, but want to certainly prevent the binding.

Quick tip: if you want scale on a Trx4M defender or bronco. First take off the sticker decal on the tire then there will be a screw and you’ll have to unscrew that. Next grab a Scx24 wheel/tire or stock Trx4M tire/wheel and screw it on. Very easy mod for a scale look.

That foam made run you have set up is spot on. Being able to compare different Crawler's on the same challenge definitely defines the most useful. What improvements have been gained etc. I knew the TRX could be better. I upgraded the LC80 similarly with vast improvements. I appreciate your content.

Besides liking the military truck look of the Defender body more than the Bronco, I also went with it because it was “the worse of the two,” with the heavier body and rear bias. My thought process was, if I start a little lower in capability, I would notice the changes I made more. So far, I’m glad I went this route. I managed to get those Injora wheels on! Super happy with my gains over the stock wheels. My scale said each wheel went from 16 grams (stock) to 34 grams with the brass rings.

@marioz219
@marioz219 Год назад
We have two TRX-4m Broncos: One is mine. All chassis parts are upgraded to metal. Crawler gears and Injora wheels with 58mm tires are also installed. All the upgrades cost almost double that of the car itself. The other is my nephew's. The only upgrades are bearings and lubricated gears. Real-life difference in performance - maybe a couple of degrees better angles. Crawler gears - I don't recommend it. You will lose a lot of speed. It becomes so slow, that while my nephew goes around full track and catches me, I am still in the first third of the track (and the track is not easy, it is about 5m (a bit more than 16 feet) long, with plenty of difficult angles and obstacles for a crawler). What's even worse (for me), my nephew Bronco, after his “simple” upgrades, can crawl almost as slow and steep as mine do (“simple” because to change bearings, you still need to take apart all the car). Additional weight - unless you want to kill your servo (like I did), don't add much. Maybe brass hexes and diff covers, it (Broco) really doesn't need much more. What I am noticing, is that I am probably losing performance with all that weight added. On some obstacles, it looks like tires just get squished and start sliding. Maybe a different foam would help… 🤔 Injora tires (INJORA 1.0 RC Tyre Soft Rubber Tyre All Terrain 58 x 20 mm) lost their stickiness after about a month of use. What I recommend: If you buying it for a kid or just for fun, just add some grease and lube. It will be enough for a start. If the time comes for a little more performance, add a bearing kit. You would not believe how much difference that makes. If you want to upgrade it to the max, just like was said in the video, don’t expect huge performance boost. But don’t let that lower your mood, it will be a fight for barely noticeable improvements, but if you enjoy it, heck, you only live once 😁
@CapeCrawlers

Very good input! Modifying these is like lifting weights: you make 90% of your gains very early with very basic inputs. After that it takes exponentially more effort for diminishing returns.

I just picked up my TRX-4M Defender this weekend. It's been a blast so far. I ended up spending an extra $100 on a spare battery (doesn't really need it as the battery lasts quite a while), Ball bearing kit, low range gears for the transmission, and the light kit. So far I've only install the lights, it's been a blast stock. From what I'm reading the ball bearings will smooth it out a bit at low speeds; but, I've been having such a blast tooling around with it I hadn't bothered to tear it down to swap them out. I hear greasing up the shock orings with AE "green slime" helps them seal up better; I have some in my old race toolbox and will give it a shot when I do the BB's. I'm glad I found this channel, great stuff! Also seems we're from the same neck of the woods, maybe I'll see you on the trails!

@zodwraith5745
@zodwraith5745 5 месяцев назад
Honestly I think you had a good chance of making it stock with just the gear change. It was easy to see the difficulty in control with the stock gears. I'd consider that a must have mod for anyone buying it for crawling even if they're happy with the out of the box performance and it's only 5 bucks! Too bad Traxxas doesn't just include them to begin with so you have the option immediately. As someone with the full size TRX4 defender I still haven't decided if I want one of these enough to get it vs all the other things the money could go towards. 🤪

I think the Trx Bronco is better outta the box then the Axial. I wish I'd bought the Trx however my Axial four door Power Wagon outta the box is pretty dang nice at 159.00 . I like the color of the body and as you say the rims kinda grow on you so they could always be painted. My opinion for 102.00 bucks which is about the limit for the average hobbyist not bad at all the tires are really standing out as are the crawler gears. Well done. From a Newbie.

So since you got 62mm tires, and they fit good that means that the 2.4 trx4m high trail tires should fit on my bronco right? 2.4 inches translate to 60mm. I accidentally bought those instead of the 2.2 inch bronco tires. I also have the long arm lift kit and 59mm shocks on the way. I’m also having trouble with the rear clip. I wonder if it’s another of those mistakes on traxxas side just like the front tire binding. Also, every one who’s thinking about buying this trx4m should watch this video. It was great man. ❤

You’ll need to trim that body up a ton to fit those injura tires. Update: I saw you got yours to fit perfectly, that’s awesome! I’m guessing it’s the chassis that made a difference. On the stock chassis, the tires were rubbing super hard for me, quick tremble job and I was back on the trail!
@269paintball5
@269paintball5 8 месяцев назад
I just put the same tires and brass extensions on mine, still with the stock chassis, and I had the same issue. The chassis seems to be the difference maker here. I ended up trimming the flares off, took some off the rear bumper as well, and a buddy of mine 3d printed me a new front bumper. Still some rubbing, but nearly as bad. Getting high clearance links tomorrow too, im sure that'll help minimize what rub I have left.

I never really cared for this scene in R/C or crawlers in general. In fact, when I was younger I thought they were dumb. I just didn't understand what I was looking at; at the time and was fixated on fast cars. Now that I'm older and have a proper understanding for their purpose, I actually think they're pretty cool! And seeing that you made a mini course in your basement is dope! Reminded me of the diorama train sets my gramps used to create and build in the rec room. Ahhh, the joys you find in life while maturing. I don't think I'll dive into this scene anytime soon but *you* definitely have peaked my interest in watching. After I get my typical cars and trucks all up and running this year I'll look into buying/building my first crawler. Any recommendations for a newbie in this scene or mainly what to stay away from? I like to tinker a lot so I think I'll actually enjoy these a lot more than I initially thought. I can see myself setting challenges and just bringing them along when I go out to trails and parks. Would match the setting a lot better than my on-road cars that would struggle with the terrain or my stupid fast monster trucks that wouldn't make proper use of their power band.

If you put a defender body on it, it would somehow leak oil, catch fire from an electical problem and only work for 10 days out of each month... Real life, creeping into RC. The LR dealer let us take a defender for the weekend while we decided on buying one. It left on a flatbed and they put a cover on it with a Ford emblem on the cover so people wouldnt know it broke down. It was dead from an electrical issue (smoke came out from the dash while trying to start it) I bought a Bronco ($10k more expensive than the defender) the next day.

It seems like the point of the comment you mentioned at the beginning of the was to save $100 and get the traxxas, leaving it stock and you would have a comparable Bronco to the supped up Axial 1/24. The point is, there is no need to upgrade the Traxxas to get a great RC. Just my thoughts. Great upgrades though!

@CapeCrawlers

I will add that the chassis continues to be a struggle with the Bronco. The body clips just do not want to stay put. The chassis is wedged against the body supports and makes fitting it appropriately very challenging. Still, for $22 I am satisfied with it.

So i did buy the brass kit, after installing gained good amount of weight but lost some of steering angle. It harder to turn on some tight corners, maneuverability decreases. Im taking them off and im going to look for a better one. I think the only way to fix that is to modify the c-hubs or the blocks.

Gotta trim the body up front under the cowl. Removing the plastic between the screw mounts. Then the body will clip a little easier

I like the TRX4m but they need more options. The Defender/Bronco doesn’t really fit my style. I know there are aftermarket options, but I want more OE options

I noticed you have no tire deformation while running the course. Having softer tires or tires that deform while crawling over rocks will greatly improve performance. When I run my 1:1 I drop my pressure to 10-15psi. I did the same on my 1:24 kyoshu and it greatly improved performance without any other mods

Idk man you said u think it’s a lot more capable out the box the the Scx24 but it’s also noticeably larger with more clearance and I do remember a little red deadbolt getting up all those spots before the upgrade when the bronco didn’t make it up the last one

I like the build with the exception of the tires, they are catching on each lug on the back fender/ bumper when articulating. Great video , body rub is just a pet peeve of mine but if it doesn't bother you then more power to you.
@CapeCrawlers
@CapeCrawlers Год назад
It's starting to bother me, especially in reverse. As much as it pains me I am going to have to look for a smaller tire.
@SteadfastRC
@SteadfastRC Год назад
@@CapeCrawlers Yeah that's the problem I run into with all the small scale rigs, seems like unless you want to lift them or extend the axles way out than you can't go much bigger that stock without pretty serious body rub. Most people just seem to ignore it but I simply cannot abide it.

Put some smaller diameter Injora tires on those same wheels and you’ll be much happier I think. I have a blue Bronco with those same white wheels. It looks great. But I tried the 62mm tire first and it rubbed too much so I switched to a 56mm and it’s way better. Great video

I love the budget build videos. But a lot of us aren’t going to do the chassis kit. Can you do a different video not including chassis kit for both trx4m and scx24
@CapeCrawlers
@CapeCrawlers Год назад
Sure thing. I pick those because I truly believe it's great performance for the money. But I'm happy to explore other alternatives. The AX24 will be a good one because there isn't a chassis available, and the FCX24 would be another one to try.
