Very cool to have the option. Might want to note it is recommended to only use low gear after removing the portals. A motor can get cooked mighty fast with the incredible high 9.8:1 stock ratio in high gear without portals. At least you could hit about 35mph on 3S before it bursts into flames. |

I'm confused. Isn't the reason the TRX4 is so popular is for the portal axles and the other unique systems like 2 speed trans and lockable diffs? If I didn't want those on my Traxxas vehicle why not just purchase a SCX10II.

I haven't checked the Traxxas gearing options but maybe smaller pinion and larger spur can get some of the gearing back.

| Re: New SSD Portal Delete Kits The truck comes stock with 45/11 gearing. The lowest possible gearing on the pinion and spur is 45/9 since there is no larger spurs available. That is a little better but it would still only be 12:1 overall gearing in high gear. Low gear is a much more reasonable 30:1 with 45/9 gearing on the pinion and spur.

I don’t own a trx4 yet. Was curious what circumstances would cause you to not want to stick with portals?

A standard rotation motor would be needed as the Titan in trx4 is reverse rotation, correct? Also, motor leads reversed?

I’m not a portal fan so I think this is a great option. Well done SSD! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It seems like the new Bronco body is going to be a big hit, so these portal delete kits will make folks looking for a more scale look pretty happy.
