Codyboy builds a TRX4/VS4-10 builders Chassis Not quite sure where to put this, So I guess this will work. If not would a mod please move it to the best site! "thumbsup". I tried these axles on a Toyzuki V2 chassis and just couldn't quite get it right. Don't get me wrong, They are great chassis, and I was advised to get a V3 chassis for these axles but try as I may I couldn't find one! So thought I'd try the VS4-10 Chassis. I built the axle with these low profile C-hub and knuckles. Seem to be built quite well (we'll see). https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...1-IMG_1257.jpg https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...2-IMG_1258.jpg https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...3-IMG_1259.jpg https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...4-IMG_1260.jpg And fully assembled on the Toyzuki Chassis That I pass on to Washington! https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...5-IMG_1261.jpg https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...6-IMG_1263.jpg Since I don't have the Toyzuki motor mount any longer I needed to build my own. Because of the 2.2:1 reduction in the Trx4 axles I'm not going to use a tranny. Direct drive to a transfer case. https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...1-IMG_1525.jpg Trying to get spacings and mounting brackets figured out. https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...2-IMG_1526.jpg https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...3-IMG_1527.jpg All for now, I need to get out my setup rack and figure out links for a 12.3 axle spacing. Thanks for looking. Ernie |
Codyboy builds a TRX4/VS4-10 builders Chassis Josh did one but no transfer case. If i remember links were stock length except for panhard and drag link with VS4 skid Ernie are you using xt60’s instead of bullets? Hang up and Drive |
Re: Codyboy builds a TRX4/VS4-10 builders Chassis This looks like it’s going to be a cool build! Looking forward to seeing how the direct drive will work with this chassis. Liked and Subscribed![emoji106] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I remember the same link choice for trx-4/vs4-10 combo. Should be a fun watch and learn build like all of Ernie's builds. |

Got it on the setup frame. https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...4-IMG_1528.jpg https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...7-IMG_1531.jpg !2.5" https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...7-IMG_1531.jpg https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...8-IMG_1532.jpg https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...0-IMG_1534.jpg More tomorrow. By the way, I'm working on this while I'm waiting for my Enduro builders kit, when it come this build will probably slow down a little. "thumbsup" Thanks for looking, Ernie |
Re: Codyboy builds a TRX4/VS4-10 builders Chassis If you go 13/56 with an atlas transfer case you will be 50:1. You can definatly skip the transmission depending heavily on the spur pinion combo and the final drive ratio you are after. The great thing is guess work is not required, its all just math.

Like! I'm going to stay with 48 Pitch spur and pinion, and if I need a little more durability I'll switch to 32 pitch. "thumbsup" Getting the Motor mount drilled and ready to paint. https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...3-IMG_1537.jpg Painted and installed, built the shaft from the motor to the GCM T case. https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...6-IMG_1541.jpg https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...5-IMG_1540.jpg https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...4-IMG_1539.jpg https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums...7-IMG_1542.jpg And just a side note, I clearance the knuckle on the shaft and everything roll amazingly free, no binding anyplace even at full compression! |
Re: Codyboy builds a TRX4/VS4-10 builders Chassis Looks good, that angle of thar shaft though. Maybe its just the camera angle? That white spacer is very nice looking. Make it yourself? |
Re: Codyboy builds a TRX4/VS4-10 builders Chassis That does seem like a pretty steep angle. I wonder if it would be possible to shorten the shaft off the back of the spur gear so that you can have a longer driveshaft with less steep of an angle, just a thought. |
Re: Codyboy builds a TRX4/VS4-10 builders Chassis That white Teflon thingy looks heavy. You can use an ax10 top shaft there for the spur to make it shorter. Do you have a 3d printer? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk |
Re: Codyboy builds a TRX4/VS4-10 builders Chassis Ernie does it the hard-way. ;-) Very creative! |
Re: Codyboy builds a TRX4/VS4-10 builders Chassis This thing looks awesome Ernie! Can't wait to see what comes of it. |

Re: Codyboy builds a TRX4/VS4-10 builders Chassis I have been working on a set. I met a really cool guy now a good friend the last time I went out to the local trail. He has fostered 4 different kids and now has adopted 3 siblings. They bought him a Scx10-2 for Father's day (red Jeep in my July 4th video) He has no budget to upgrade his crawler with, but loves the hobby. He was having a hard time keeping up with the other rigs. Due to his tires not getting any grip. So I figured since you had sent me so much. That I would help out another. I took the big inners that were in the growlers that you sent, cut them down and wrapped them with the green outer foam. Then put them inside the iRoks (kinda worn but better then the RTR tires he has) and put them on the wheels you sent with the growlers. I still have two to go, but have until the 21st when we go crawling for my birthday to get them done. Just passing it forward trying to help where I can. Here's a pic of what I have going. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...15802a5dcb.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...21e1b88cf3.jpg |
