TRX4 Sport Kit Build 7/31/21 Current: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...6f9d0d37_c.jpgIMG_6156 Hey guys! I recently picked up my first 1/10 scale crawler, the TRX4 Sport Kit. Thanks again for all the advice everyone provided on my newbie thread! It's been a long time since I've been in the RC hobby. Crawlers never caught my attention, I was usually focused on track and drift setups. However, I picked up a SCX24 a few months ago. I figured it was an inexpensive way to give crawling a chance. Of course I was hooked after the modding started :mrgreen:. I knew I needed a 1/10 scale! I can't believe how much I've missed RC!! The only mods I've done so far are adding some beadlock wheels from Amazon and cutting the smaller lugs off the front two stock tires. The pics below are from my first crawl yesterday! It felt good to finally get this thing on some rocks! 8) **the photos are amazing quality (another hobby) - not sure why the quality decreases so much when uploaded to Imugr :cry: TRX4 Sport Kit: Hobbywing 1080 ESC Holmes Hobbies CrawlMaster Sport 12T Savox SW-1210SG BE SkyFly GT5 SSD Brass Front Portal Weights Benedict Harry Brass Rear Portal Weights BowHouse Low CG Tray Traxxas Narrow Inner Fender Set (8080) Treal Brass Link Mounts Samix Brass Front C-Hubs D-Links Brass Steering Links http://i.imgur.com/3U2aYwbl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/rzAdvVcl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Vwr4v0sl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/XaspN1Ol.jpg http://i.imgur.com/hGOqNMBl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/i8XJqNCl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/qczBQN3l.jpg http://i.imgur.com/xsdyEIXl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/rg41Kzgl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/q2d2jnNl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/yrRYiwhl.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...90b50aba_c.jpg http://i.imgur.com/oHkdN1Nl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/OmMQp9Jl.jpg |

Re: TRX4 Sport Kit Build Installed the brass portal covers. I love how discreet they are, you can't see anything behind the wheel :) Just waiting on the Bow House Low CG tray to be delivered now! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...1aedd6bf_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...f7a6748b_c.jpg |

Re: TRX4 Sport Kit Build I know it's the norm lol, but I was still surprised as how scuffed and scratched the bottom of the chassis was after only one crawl. I figured skid plates all around would help with that. I'm waiting on the BowHouse low CG tray to be delivered. I also ordered a new body last night...still debating on what color to go with :???: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...865529fa_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...7482e66b_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...b2e9d56f_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...8dcf05c7_c.jpg |
Re: TRX4 Sport Kit Build Looks great! Tons of fun! |

Just you wait haha. My Enduro looks like I attacked it with a cheese grater and I've only had it since November or so. The hard ones to get over are that first scratch after a new paint job but these things were made to get beat on, not to sit and look at although that is fun too lol. |

Ha ha!!! Ain’t that the truth!!! My underside is the same way and when the sun hits the body in a certain light it looks like I polished it with an Arkansas stone. [emoji1787][emoji1787] I heard the scraping of lexan within the first 5 minutes of driving it. Lol. At least I ripped that bandaid off. |
Re: TRX4 Sport Kit Build In my experience, those metal skid plates just catch on stuff especially the aluminum ones. My #1 TRX4 chassis now has nearly 2000 hours on it and it looks well used but as the center skid and axles wear they round off all the sharp edges and actually work better. |
Re: TRX4 Sport Kit Build The Low CG tray finally arrived! I've been working on a new body for the past few days, just waiting on the paint. I'll post some pics up once I'm done! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...e54686b4_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...53db148b_c.jpg |
Re: TRX4 Sport Kit Build I finished painting the body today! A sneak peek lol :mrgreen: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...081779ea_c.jpg |
