| TRX4 Sport Creep Build | The dremel has been busy ~
I've had this sport for 2 years and this will be the 4th body for it. Wanted something that would make it more capable on the rocks and decided on the Jcon Creep. I knew it wouldn't just fit so before the body got here I went to work stripping the chassis down. I cut down the running boards but didn't remove them so I could still have places to mount electronics. Also trimmed the frame rails front and rear to tuck in tight. I spent a lot of time studying other Creep builds and I knew I didn't want to cut the bed to clear the shocks and I didn't want the body riding high so I removed the rear shock towers completely. Figuring out the rear body post probably took me the longest. The truck is overall a lot smaller now which makes it much more capable on the rocks. |

Checking the fit, ready for paint Went with Tamiya cobalt. I wanted pearl white but it's backordered. Scuffing up the bed |

and the end result. Working OT today so I went out in the rain last night to grab some pics. Love the way this thing turned out! So far it seems to do everything better. We have a big meet/comp on Sunday so I'll find out for sure. |

I like how it turned out. I never realized how compact this body was until seeing it wrapped around a trx4.

I like seeing the X4 chassis with the battery relocated. It opens it up nicely. Great mods, she looks ready to be challenged |

Took the Sport Creep out to a meet yesterday and it did great! Had a friendly little battle with my buddy driving an SCX10 II. https://youtu.be/wMtHk4DL-KM |

Just switched up my rear shock position a little to lower the rear end but still fit under the Creep body. Drilled a new hole and threw the shock keys back on. |
