| MG's TRX-4 Sport kit build/mods
I figured I would start a thread to chronical my modded up TRX-4 Sport kit build for others to follow. As you will see my addiction is real... Here is a list of the parts I have or are in route at this moment. TRX-4 Sport kit BowHouse RC TRX-4 High Clearance Skid Samix Traxxas TRX-4 Aluminum Front Shock Plate (Grey) Samix Traxxas TRX-4 Aluminum Rear Shock Plate (Grey) ST Racing Concepts Aluminum Front Bumper Mount (Gun Metal) SSD RC 8 Hole 1.9” Steel Beadlock Wheels (Black) Holmes Hobbies TrailMaster Sport 550 Brushed Motor (21T) Hobbywing QuicRun WP1080 Brushed Crawling ESC Traxxas 8196 TRX-4 Two Speed Conversion Kit Traxxas TRA8249 Slipper Eliminator Plate Traxxas Over and Under Gear Sets GRC High Clearance Small C's/Inner Portal Cover's w/Ackerman Upgrade Kit Brass Portal Drive Housing/Counterweight Balance Weight's 104g Yeah Racing Aluminum Servo Mount Savox SA-1230SG Steering Servo Hot Racing Aluminum Servo Horn Castle Creations 10amp BEC Holmes RX Bypass Adapter Traxxas 8072 Inner Fenders SMC 1500mAh 3s mini battery's Scorpion Battery Lock Strap Set And probably more that I've forgotten from my late night compulsion driven spending sprees. I'm thinking the body will be painted a Purple/Green Iridescent color. I'll be flipping the front bumper mounts and using the flipped stock front bumper mount in the rear. The sliders will also be raised about 15mm. More to come... Last edited by MentalGuru; 03-18-2019 at 09:46 AM. |

Thanks guys. I still have a few things to get for it. I'm trying to decide on which tire foams I should run. I was thinking some Crawler Innovations Lil Nova 4.50" Crawler Foam w/Comp Cut Inner's but I'm not sure which firmness to get. I'm thinking med for the front and firms for the rear but they might be too stiff for best performance. I'll be using the stock tires with cut and siped tread for now. Your input or suggestions would be great. Last edited by MentalGuru; 03-19-2019 at 02:06 AM. |

I'm a big believer in CI foams for most tire set ups with the exception of Ottsix Voodoo tires that seem to work the best with Voodoo foams do to their superior sidewall design.

The tires from my Sport will wind up on my Defender with CI med comp foams in the front and firms in the rear I'm thinking. The last of my parts are due to arrive soon so I'll be starting assembly shortly. | |

Nice list but i have an advice for you. I had Traxxas 8072 inner fenders but since my TRX4 underwent a serious weight reduction i cut the front tray and the part of the fenders where it mounts and installed it using zip ties: Also the panhard mount is very weak so you better get an aluminun one, i used this ones: CNC Machined Aluminum Front Shock Tower/Panhard Mount TRX-4 (1 pair) Black |
