Finally painted the body. Be nice because this is the first one I have done for 7 years. Some flaws, went a little heavy on the 4th coat of candy blue and you can see it on the hood. Everything black was hand masked and cut. I think she came out beautiful, but I could have done better. Now to figure out how to mount it with the magnetic mounts I have. I may scrap them and go with the magnet method I have seen on here.

Looks great Crazy, especially for a first body. Nice work on the window masks. Please share when you get it all decal’d up and mounted.

I have not experienced any heat loading issues on the Sporto motor yet, but I figure an ounce of prevention and all. Slapped this little heatsink over the motor. It has mounting points for an aux fan as well.

Another modification done ...moved rear shock towers forward to get some angle out of shocks , had to create clearance ( shave some plastic off ) at lower shock towers do to angle also added rear shackles.
Also new electronics added ... I say she is ready now .

exo that shock mod looks good. I did the same thing back when I had the stock towers and it’s a good angle IMO. Don’t really get much of a better angle from the after market options.

Went for a crawl while working on the trail and finding stuff with the mud pie pit crew. Was a great time! Found some really cool spots. The girls are loving busting brush and making a cool trail in the woods.


Drove the whole time one handed. Think my little thumb stick worked out great!

Can you point me towards where you made the thumb stick mod? Too often I find myself needing to drive one-handed but can't because my thumb is about one inch away from the steering wheel.

This is the thread I started last week for this subject. One handed driving mods
The one I'm using is a broken throttle control lever off a piece of 2cycle equipment that I found at work. The ideas from that thread are what helped me come up with mine. I'm also working on one for my gt3c.

What did you do to your TRX-4 today?

I ran it!

Got out for a little rip this morning on the backyard trails. It's finally started to dry out enough to where I could start adding some features to the new stuff I knocked in. Still a long way to go, but it felt good to get started. More to come!
