Defender Evolved Hi everyone I recently got into rc cars because of a friend and I’ve since gone off the deep end. I love working and modding just about everything I come in contact with. My TRX-4 is my first truck. I ve done some things that probably don’t help crawling but it’s a constant work in progress. Here’s a list of what I have so far. All the custom stuff is done and printed by me. 1. Stainless steel screw set. I now want aluminum and or titanium for the weight 2. Aluminum axles with brass Samix knuckles up front. 3. ProModeler 470 for steering 4. ProModeler micro servos for speed and T-locks. 5. Tekin ROC412HD 3100kv motor. 6. Castle Mamba X. Used to have Tekin RX8. 7. Custom steel front bumper with winch 8. Custom rear bumper. 9. Custom rock sliders 10. Mytrickrc DG-1 light bar kit with rock lights. 11. Custom bed with roll bars. 12. Titanium linkshttps://imgur.com/gallery/HcL0viz 13. Extended rx box to fit winch controller. 14. Futaba radio system with 7PX so I can control everything individually. 15. Gmade wheels with pit bull rock beast. 16. Upgraded traxxas ptfe coated rod shocks with sleeves 17. Aluminum shock towers. 18. Custom low profile battery mount with extended rear chassis mount Maybe some more stuff I forgot. I’ve since removed the front battery mount since I didn’t use it and it was unnecessary weight. I’ll add as I remember. I’m in the process of putting this thing on a diet because I think it’s two heavy. I bought a trx4 bronco and I like the short wheelbase and how much lighter it is. I’m going to shorten the defender down to 300mm wheelbase and put a proline two door Jeep body on. Any questions or suggestions are welcome.

Right on. I posted on another thread, just about an hour ago, about how I was thinking about doing this same thing with my Bronco slider. Look forward to seeing how it works out for you. Subbed! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
Re: Defender Evolved Well I have since shortened the wheelbase to 300mm and put a Jeep body on it. Here’s a couple pics of the current state. <a href='http://i.imgur.com/TA6aik2' title=''><img src='http://i.imgur.com/TA6aik2.jpg' alt='' title='Hosted by imgur.com' /></a> <a href='http://i.imgur.com/cA4LDnj' title=''><img src='http://i.imgur.com/cA4LDnj.jpg' alt='' title='Hosted by imgur.com' /></a> |
Re: Defender Evolved Love the Jeep body, is that the Pro-Line one? |

Re: Defender Evolved Nice!!! Are the ProModeler micro servos drop in replacements for the stock traxxas, and if so, you happen to have a part number ? :) |

Re: Defender Evolved This would be extremely useful, as I intend to use the same servos. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk |
