Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Dammit! Beaten by a Ford again! :ror: At least I didn’t post a duplicate thread that we know will be coming.

Any word on when it’ll be available?

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Someone said dealers should have their demo models in a few weeks and orders should ship a few weeks after that. Seems logical, Traxxas doesn't seem to debut a product then not ship it for months (lookin at you, HPI).

Also I'm brand agnostic. I believe that Ford is a good brand that has made many fine vehicles over the years but they are not blessed and not the savior of auto-kind. :lmao:

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Awesome! And very true about Traxxas being quick to release after the announcement of a product. I was going to order the Sport kit, but I may have to wait for the Blazer. Now I'm torn.

Same here. I'm a Chevy fan, but Ford made some awesome vehicles over the years and their current trucks (Raptor) are better looking than the Chevys.

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

I called my nearest HobbyTown and they were clueless. I’m guessing it’s going to be based on the full-featured Bronco platform, which would set the cost about the same as the Bronco/Defender...ouch. I think I’m still more attracted to the Sport kit, even though an RTR would be more immediate gratification.

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Has anyone heard any more about the release of the TRX4 Mercedes G-Wagon? Just wonder if Traxxas is planning to release both the K5 and the G-Wagon. Does anyone know if the the Blazer shown at the Nuremberg Toy show?

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

I'm guessing the complete, clear body will be about the same price as the Bronco - $160. If I don't buy the RTR with the painted body I'd have trouble spending that much on a clear body. :shock:

But I do want my second TRX-4 to be more performance oriented like the Sport.

So I'm still torn. :lmao:

I haven't heard more, but Traxxas...hell yes! This G-Wagon, Sport Kit, and now the Blazer!

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

having not had one, does anyone 3d print grill etc for this sport body to make it more resemble a real world truck? I could go for this kit if I could massage it a little to make it resemble a real world truck I think. But at 270, I think one could sell the body and wheels and tires and recoup another to cover a new body, and I have plenty of wheels and tires around. How wide are these? This thing is calling for a proline comanche body with those scale accessories.

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Traxxas is now offering both a front and rear molded plastic light panels for the Sport body.

That said, the new Sport kit appears to include these Sport body light bits along with other add on parts.

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

I don't know what you could make it into since it is so generic. Squint really hard and pretend it is a 2014 Ford Ranger from another part of the world?

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

And it'll still look better than the car/truck Honda Ridgeline! :mrgreen:

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Funny. I went and added up the cost of getting a clear Sport body + Expedition package + Lenses & grills, in order to put them on my Bronco slider, but buying the full kit seemed like a better deal. Maybe, since I already have a full-featured D110, I could sell the Bronco roller and get the Sport kit.
I feel ya on being torn, although I'm in a slightly different scenario. I think if I really was drawn to the Blazer I'd see that as a great addition to my collection, because it does look good, especially that orange/white one.

We actually just took delivery of our first 19 ranger this past week at the lot, now you have me thinking.

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Omg I literally just bought the sport rtr and pulled all electronics off of it.. Just my luck smdh

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Oh, man, that's unfortunate. I was considering doing that same thing, just several days before this news broke out. I was going to get a blue Sport RTR + Expedition package, and eventually replace the body with a custom-painted one. Glad I didn't pull the trigger.

I'm currently wondering if the Sport platform is better than the HPI Venture, because, if it is, I'll sell mine and get the Sport kit. I do know there's much more aftermarket for the TRX-4, already. I just don't need a bunch of single-speed scalers, but I like the Sport body & accessories.

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

my local dealer should have his Blazer demo tomorrow, I'm thinking about getting it after the demo period is over

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Please take pics of the trim and underside of the body, including light buckets, if you’d be able to "thumbsup"

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Can anyone confirm whether this kit has 12.3 or 12.8 wheelbase?

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Its 12.3. Specs on traxxas site show it bein 1mm shorter than the bronco

I can't see it on the Traxxas website. They've only got the Kit with electrics.
