Scoobs TRX4 Bronco Build

After being a Axial fanboy for the longest time, I decided to pick up a TRX4 Bronco thinking Traxxas may have actually made something I like. Sure enough, this TRX4 is a pretty awesome rig even in stock form. No way I can keep it stock though, so here's the start! - Not much for now but I have a list of parts currently on the way.

First day having it out -

Ordered a Bowhouse LCG battery tray for it and decided to take a dremel to the rear chassis brace to make room for a large battery.

Also ordered a cheap Ebay special bumper and threw a RC4WD 9.5 winch on there with a RC4WD wireless controller(Controller has to many issues). Waterproofed it all and shoved it in the Rx box, Swapped the winch line out for DSM offroad 10 foot winch line.

Well, I'm sure it won't disappoint. Haha. Just need to figure out what direction I want to go with it next.

Yes, I did. Odd thing is that after 2 days it just decided to start working out of nowhere. I plugged it into another channel then back to channel 1 and presto, it magically started working again.

Re: Scoobs TRX4 Bronco Build

Can you return it still and swap it for another?

Unfortunately I cannot. When it takes a crap finally, I'll just replace it with a HeyOk controller.

Re: Scoobs TRX4 Bronco Build

Update - I ordered the Traxxas light control unit thinking I could hook a normal Servo plug into it (I was going to run the winch and light bar off of it) Well, that failed. So I decided to order another Rx waterproof box that I'm going to put the winch controller and a battery inside of and run the winch and light bar off of that.
