Today i built a DIY trailer i got off of Amazon, and with the (as you all know of these "Chinese"/knockoff brands) the instructions were literally one piece of paper, filled out approximately 1/3 page per side (two-sided document, WITH MOSTLY pics)...came with damn 3,652.23 pieces of hardware/parts, and took me all of about 3 hours to assemble. But SUPER HAPPY with the end result! Now i can mob my TRX4 to my fave spots around the 'hood, and carry my crawler behind for backup, or to just put some more miles on the Ridgerock, as its been pretty stagnant since the arrival of the TRX4 Sport!, Or i can haul my on-road car to a place where the pavement is smoother and go annoy some DIFFERENT neighbors! Lol! Love the trailer, however, all ive got to share is night-time pics from inside my messy garage. . Enjoy! Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk |

Nothing as Epic as 23drummerboy but I installed a High Torque Brushless servo, and BEC then smiled as my Bronco can now do "push ups" if you will. Tomorrow, or later today I guess I'll be replacing axles... for giggles pretty much, as I'm just getting back into RC after a 20 year absence and things have improved so much in terms of quality, performance, and durability, that there seems to be very little that really "NEEDS" to be upgraded. Won't slow me down any, but yeah. |

I agree. I rocked a direct powered servo and stock electronics for the first month, month and a half. It was just fine. | |

This showed up yesterday. So I will be entering the brushed motor world. I知 debating on running it with the mamba x or putting some bullets on the HW 1080 I have. I really really like and have become used to my throttle curves on the mamba. Going to use my standard 9/45 gearing. So I知 excited to see the differences between a good brushed and brushless motors. Eta - @jeff6x6 I noticed what you were talking about with mounting your torque master pro. The mounting points on the can are way different than my brushless. 2 sets of mounting holes that are directly across from each other. So we値l see. Last edited by Benp; 09-02-2020 at 05:42 AM. |

Ha ha! I hear you. I filled out the info on his website regarding rotation and timing. I put 6 degrees in because everything I do is slow and I run none with the brushless. In the blog I believe it is said that a little timing is good. In the order comments I explained my exact setup and intent with this motor. I also stated if you feel my choices are incorrect please adjust accordingly. This is what I got with no comments on the order slip. Your guess is as good as mine regarding timing. Every motor Of his with adjustable timing I致e seen on the web or videos has timing graduations on the can. Oh well. I知 flying blind as usual. So we値l see how this goes. I知 pretty sure it値l be fine.

I went for a early morning crawl before going to work at the farm today. Was a great time out at the washouts. I put the cut Canyon Trails on with stock foams and no venting. Due to my Hyrax looking like this. From my last crawl with some buddies. And I knew the canyon trails clean out better then the Hyrax. They were the perfect match for the clay. In the end I was crawling through some tight areas that proved to be pretty difficult, but the Nuk pulled through. Got a bit dirty and had a great time doing it! Can't wait to go do it again!!!

Awesome!!! Looks like a little bit of cleanup ahead of you. I really like the cab and chassis/cage/flat bed look. Your rig looks like it does well on the rocks. That stinger bumper is fantastic! |

5 mins with the water hose and she was all cleaned up! The cab was done by the amazing CODYBOY I designed the cage myself and a buddy welded it up for me. It's a very capable/stable rig. Allot of fun to crawl. Sometimes it's a little too capable and more challenging trying to find something to give it a challenge. I love it tho! I built that bumper not too long after I got my trx. It will probably always be on it. Stinger definitely does it's job | |

It's like those bumpers were made for that truck. Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk |

Buddy and I finished up his new Ford body and took it out for a shakedown run. My D110 and Bronco used to out-drive his in many situations but as of yesterday he is now able to outperform my Bronco. With his old top-heavy D110 body, the edge used to go in my favor but now with all he's done... the COG is lower, the longer wheelbase gives him a firm advantage in hill climbs, and he's balanced the weight front to back. We can still do the same lines but my Bronco bounces around more which leaves mine a lot of times, not pointing exactly where I wanted it. His is better planted and more controllable time after time on the same lines. I'm happy for him though. He's worked hard to get this truck not only looking great but performing great too. I'll dig up the dusty build thread and update soon. |

Put some finishing touches on my sons SR5 body. Probably not the best choice for TRX four but I made it fit.
