Mainly because it’s bigger. That’s the biggest reason. Just like the Mini Capra is far far far more capable than the TRX4M. Size matters a ton.

I'm having trouble with the servo tray. @9:41you mention popping 2 screws out and getting the servo tray in but then cut the video to the steering link. Am I supposed to use the top 2 screws from the diff cover to attach the tray in? The ones I have aren't long enough to grab any threading. What am I missing?
@TheShopMiniRC
@TheShopMiniRC 7 месяцев назад
there should be some longer included screws to screw the servo tray into the diff cover. the stock ones will be too short, but again, there should be some long ones with the servo tray kit

"Ripped TRX4M" for sure. I can see that little rig being pretty capable on the rocks with a couple upgrades and a bit of tuning and tweaking. I have to agree with the tx/rx really being lacking for the TRX4M's. A 3rd channel and a little more adjustability would go a long way.

Excellent video! Ripped TRX-4M!! Wondering if this body and cage would fit on the Furitek Cayman chassis? Similar dimensions to the TRX. Thoughts?
@TheShopMiniRC
@TheShopMiniRC Год назад
This thing IS the body and chassis. You just need a skid plate for the scx24 trans. There is also an scx24 Meus ripper, it’s slightly smaller and uses all m1.4 hardware. The trx uses m2.5 hardware. The fcx uses m2. The cayman is a mix of fcx and scx.
@TheShopMiniRC
@TheShopMiniRC Год назад
All that being said, with enough effort anything is possible.
@ninthislandrc
@ninthislandrc Год назад
That definitely is one "Ripped TRX4m!!!”, and almost makes me want to get a TRX4m...but, as you said, the stock electronics are garbage/useless/worthless. Traxxas could have done a MUCH better job with them. For the ESC, I agree that Furitek is one alternate...but, another possibility to consider might be the HW Mini28. I know it's not "designed" for crawlers...but, looking over the programming options, it could work (drag brake can even be set up to 100%). Regarding gluing the headlights, just thought I'd pass along a tip. Whenever gluing clear/translucent plastic, I never use CA. If any gets onto the plastic where it's viable, you'll easily see it causes a 'frosted' appearance. Instead of CA, I always use a glue gun, applying the glue from behind - it holds just as well as CA, is less 'permanent', and doesn't cause that ugly 'frosted' look. 🤙🏼
@TheShopMiniRC
@TheShopMiniRC Год назад
All great tips!!! Going brushless requires all new electronics on most rtrs anyway, sooo we just kinda give stock electronics a pass sometimes.
@ninthislandrc
@ninthislandrc Год назад
@@TheShopMiniRC And, sometimes, we "have no choice" but to use brushed - ex. certain classes for racing Tamiya, the 'Box Stock' class for Mini-Z racing, etc. I know a lot of comp crawlers still use brushed...but, they're slowing switching over to brushless. Personality, I think the only vehicle I currently have with brushed (other than those required to have brushed) is my SCX24 Jeep...and, that's only because I haven't gotten around to installing them brushless system.

This chassis has a good number of shock mounting holes. You should be able to get it pretty slow. I have another build video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3Vl-p2E7v58.html

Oppai Factory on Etsy and fb make a TRX4M skid that will let you mount the fcx24 trans. ;) if you’re using an lc80 as a donor, you only need the skidbhe makes. You can use the stock skid too but it might need some trimming and adjustment. But it’s definitely been done.

If you want more steering movement simply fit a slightly longer servo arm. 🤷🏼‍♂️
@TheShopMiniRC
@TheShopMiniRC Год назад
There is also the fact that it lowers the cog. ;)
@TheShopMiniRC
@TheShopMiniRC Год назад
Also, you can only lengthen the servo horn so much before it hits on the lower steering link on some setups. And actually on the stock TRX4M steering link, you can’t change the length of the servo horn as the setup is a single link and it’s at a specific distance from the servo.
@praetor47
@praetor47 Год назад
anybody knows if this new servo tray will fit the actually good and usable servos (agfrc, nsdrc, reefs, injora etc), and not just the stock garbage one?
@TheShopMiniRC
@TheShopMiniRC Год назад
yes, the nsdrc, reefs, ogrc, afgrc and others will fit the tray just fine. You may want to add some spacers to the mounting to move the servo forward just a tad if they are longer servos so they dont hit on the stock motor, if you have a differnt motor, you are probably fine. Just be sure your drag link isnt at too much of an angle
