Hill climbing ability is definitely off the charts. This truck handles like a dream. I see only one downside at the moment. On a downhill the steering will actually move the rear over about 3 inches. Need some practice to master this skill.

I built myself a cage and added a fuel cell for some additional scale points.

The cage is made from 1/8 brass tube. The cage and rear bumper weigh in at 42g which is pretty light for a rear cage if you ask me.

I went with a simplistic,sleek look.

All polished up with fuel cell installed.

Took the truck out to KOG this weekend and it did its job. I was able to take home the 1st in c2 for the second year in a row.

Amazing truck and build. I was glad to be able to see it in person and driving a few gates. I certainly must leave this TRX-4 being nearly stock to keep up to a truck of this build quality and how well it works.

Thank you very much. I truly appreciate it. Two dumb mistakes kept me out of the top spot, but I will get Todd another time. Haha. I am just excited to have built a truck that is capable of placing them n the top 5 and taking home a ribbon in the show and shine. ECSC was a blast and I can't wait until next year to see everyone again.
