Are you asking about market competition or if people are running the TRX4 as a comp rig? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I ran mine at the RPP Jamboree adventure trail run. 82 gates, only 3 touches and made all the gates, some that other trucks couldn't make. Finished first in the seniors class. Very happy with how it drove and had fun besides! Ernie |

| Re: Anyone competing with a TRX-4? I haven’t comped ours yet, but my wife said she wanted a competitive C2 rig for next year so I got a lighter body and started tuning ours for next season. I’ve been moding and tuning (build thread Something’s been bugging me) and testing each weekend. Last weekend, I did a trail run with a couple other comp guys and the TRX4 equaled or bettered their rigs on most obstacles with minor mods and tuning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I ran a basically stock( servo change tires and wheels and some weight up front) trx at the northeast national in class 2 and finished 13 out of 26 and would have been 2 nd if i had full scale points! Cleaned the first 3 courses and bumped a gate on the last that most people were winching up! Was my 1 st comp too!

Yep, I’ve ran our uk scale nationals with a trx4, scx10, scx10.2 and a scx10 based 6x6. Did as well if not better on some gates, but it is top heavy, (I don’t mind as I prefer the look) and the stock servo is not up to the job. Otherwise I’m in no way regretting the £500 price tag. |

| Re: Anyone competing with a TRX-4?
I comped mine the last 3 comps of our season. I took apart my normal SCX10 comp truck for upgrades and didn't finish in time so I ran to the hobby shop and grabbed a TRX4. Swapped bodies, servo, and wheels/tires. Continued to take 3rd place every comp which was my normal spot since I lose to 2 other guys with scale points. Next season I'm going back to an SCX10.2 based truggy for Class 2 but the TRX4 held its own for sure.

I do, I built mine with brass and stuff specifically to comp with brass and other things and I finally got my first C2 win with this truck Sunday at our Winter Series.

| Re: Anyone competing with a TRX-4?
A couple weeks back I ran my trx4 and lightweight 10.2 (comp rig) back to back. My trx4 did everything my comp rig did except side hill and I was running 4.19” tires vs nearly 5” on my 10.2. My trx4 isn’t stock but not overly modded either. It has a XJ body, ssd portal covers, HR shock mounts (lowers COG if using the top holes), 4.19” KLR’s on vanquish roosts.

I have a heavily modified 10.2 for a comp rig. My current TRX-4 is just a fun trail rig, but I'm getting another one. This next one will be setup more like a comp rig. I'm curious to see what they can do with better weight distribution, more clearance, and some suspension tuning.

Sounds like as per most trucks they have potential. I imagine their initial limiting factors are weight and that tall cog. But as per most, with a bit of a rejig, a diet and perhaps different body or widening track they have a good solid foundation. | |||
