| Trx4 Sport build
This finally changed my mind on the TRX4. I have already ordered a bunch of brass and all the electronics to make it my own. I have finished the Proline Rubi body and have ordered the longer links to stretch the rear end. I just ordered the SWB fenders and am wondering if anyone has tried using them on a 12.8 wb build yet? I have been digging on this for about a month so far to make sure I have everything lined up when the truck is available. Any thoughts would be nice.

If you are talking about the inner fender kit I am using them with the proline 12.8 Jeep body. Had to do a little trimming but it turned out great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Nice build, if you have any aluminum tape, put that on the body where the fenders are that way the foam will not rub the paint away over time.

A couple of things. The Mamba Micro X may be problematic with over heating since it is designed for lighter vehicles. Castle recommends the Mamba X for the TRX4. I'm not sure how you know where to place the inner fenders for trimming until you have them mounted on the chassis but I guess you will find out shortly. I also think you will find that the Defender inner fenders and independent shock mounts might have been a better choice over the Bronco inner fenders with integrated shock mounts. Just sayin.

Came together pretty nicely for a lot of fab before I had the truck. Still a lot to do but I am super happy so far! Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk |

Looking good If you want a wee bit more ground clearance, lift the sliders up using some aluminum spacers or what I did was use some nitro fuel line and just got the sliders snug, that way they will move and rock a few mm while still capturing the body. |
