| Leaf springs
So...I've been wanting a trx4 since they were released. Kept putting it off mainly because of the fact I have like TWENTY rc vehicles 😂 Bit just recently I got a buddy at work to buy a Slash and after seeing my scx10 he just sent me a picture of the trx4 Sport he just went and bought last night. Now I talked my cousin who we grew up running rc cars together to buy the trx4 Blazer (hes a huge chevy guy, and had a 1982 blazer when we got our license) SO NOW IM LEFT OUT 😥 But my question is, is there a company making a leaf spring conversion? Or a DIY thread for adding leaf springs? I really want the rear only to be leaf sprung because a Ford bronco is leafs out back. Cant be "realistic" with coil overs out back in my opinion |

Portal axles on a leaf sprung rig would be even weirder to me | |

There is a conversion for the scx 10.2 if you have one. I haven't seen one for the trx though. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk |

Doesn't the year that body represents have the TTB front end with coils? I'd rather run portals at that point. You're pretty far from accurate with the AR44 setup.

| Re: Leaf springs TRX4 Leafs If you dont want portals you can also do the SSD portal delete. Both of those arent the cheapest mods though. https://www.rpphobby.com/product_p/ssd00243.htm https://www.rpphobby.com/product_p/ssd00245.htm |

Wouldn't axle wrap be a major problem with leafs on portals?

Yeah leafs and portals seem like opposite directions in performance. Like trying to make a bolt action into a full auto lol But yeah early bronco had front solid axles but they had radius arms, not typical rc 3 link with panhard. If you REALLY want an accurate early bronco, check out the guys at GCM Racing. https://gcmracing.ca/viewitem.php?productid=485 *oh man they don't make that kit anymore?! Bummer!!!
