Which portal's do you recommend?

[Frank211]

I'm tired of the pumpkins getting caught up on the rocks,I'd like to know which portals to buy, a set of trx4s, redcats,I don't have the money for vanquish, so what do y'all suggest?

If i remember correctly,ssd makes portals too?

Again,many thanks for the recommendations.

find a set of capra portals. They are extremely durable

Probably trx4 if you can find a good deal on some. The trx4 & redcat portals are the same width while the Capra portals are wider, so that's something to consider. If you end up going with the redcats, you should really get the updated housings & hd portal gears/axles too. Those parts put the durability on par with trx4 & they're not expensive. Price-wise, I think all three options would end up being similar. Next step up in price would probably be the ssd portals.

Those would be stupid on a scale truck.

The TRX-4's are your best choice IMO. Avoid the Redcats as they have portal gear failures even on the Gen8.

Are they ones that come on a TRX-4?
Just saw an ad for fall oaks that they have the chassis kit for 89.50

Like the trx4 sport kit? That is a scam, be careful where youre shopping.


Frank, the TRX4 axle is definitely best bang for the buck if youre set on wanting portals.

I certainly understand that one. Got "caught" with one on a (supposed) Twin Hammers kit (the price was actually accurate, but they never shipped it), plus another on a Super Rock Rey (one of those "too good to be true" deals, but have it a shot). The key is to ALWAYS pay using PayPal. That way, if there's any "problems", you'll get your money back. Already got me money back on the Twin Hammers matter...and, as for the Super Rock Rey matter, the '10 days' ends in a few days, and I should have my money back before the end of this coming week.

The trx3 have the offset front diff, so if you want to move the motor forward for comp style stuff that's the way to do imo. If you mean as a kit, I would still go with the trx4 sport, or the Capra if you don't care about scale at all.

Nobody. I assumed he wanted scale truck width because those are the ones he mentioned.
