Default What did you do to your TRX-4 today?

I put on new China bead locks with a matching spare, 1.9 BFG Mud Terrains. New higher rate springs front and rear. Greased the gears and realigned the pinion gear. New Traxxas BEC and Traxxas 400 oz servo. And installed the Traxxas link to my phone. What a difference everything made! It climbed up obstacles it never could before on my backyard coarse. It even sounds smoother.

I used front links in the rear to shorten the wheel base to 11.8" for a new build I am working on. Worked perfectly with the shock towers in the forward most position. I am going to give Traxxas big kudos for the engineering of this rig.

Got mine all set up for a mountain run today. Swapped in the HH 21t Trailmaster and the Hobbywing 1080. The system pairs well with my 25kg JX servo and Castle 10a bec.

Did you use the China wheel for spare too? If so is there some way to get single wheels?

Did some little details, not much but makes a difference, the side trim is probably hard to see in the pics but I used a hobby knife to scrape off the chrome of the center rib to make the center black, next I soaked the wipers in purple power to remove the chrome, and the last thing for today I applied some chrome foil on the mirrors to simulate mirror glass. Thanks for looking!

Yes on eBay I found a seller Who had a choice between a set (4) or a single wheel. I optioned both.

Last night I took four RC4WD Boggers and cut out every other lug on both sides. Finished 'em off by sanding any remaining imperfections. Pic is of only two tires cut and prior to sanding... was a long and tedious process. Tested em out today and they really bit hard into the wet and sandy red-clay. Very happy with the results!

I just installed HeyOk’s new JST Power Distribution Plug. No more looking like R2D2 threw up inside my truck.

Getting started in Crawling ! TRX-4 Defender with light kit. Adding FPV camera for remote crawling - should work at night too. Found a used TRX Bronco, planning on converting to the 1946 Power Wagon body with wooden flat bed, weathered a bunch to look like a junkyard truck.

Picked up a Flysky FS-GT5 6 channel radio ($110 Canadian with a receiver that offers traction control on the trails). Set it up so I have full control over the drag break when using rock race and rock crawler modes through my Mamba X.

Waiting for a T-Lock and servo reverser to come in so that I can control the diff locks to fully open or fully locked and open up one channel for my winch
