Thanks for tuning in!! Glad you find it interesting. There are tons and tons of upgrades available out there, so it is really down to your personal preference in what to upgrade really. The key is increase the unsprung weight and good tyres. Lower CG is important too, but with that heavy Defender body to counter balance is to add unsprung weight. 😊👍🏻

[@Flyhi_Photography]

Damn, sweet ride! Love the front bumper&fender. I bought a HPI Venture 3 weeks ago. Upgraded some stuff, but found out later on that the TRX 4 Defender is the platform for me going forward. So now i have one with a lot of parts on the way by mail. Must have spent around 2.2k at this point, with all the parts. xD (total on both rigs that is)

[@jjshobbypower9091]

Thanks for watching my video. 😊👍🏼 Don't worry, the HPI Venture is also a very capable rig, it is light weight comparing to the TRX4. All you really need to do is to put the wheels and tyres from TRX4 on the HPI Venture, and to replace a stronger steering servo. The HPI Venture will then match a standard TRX4 in terms of performance. 👍🏼

Ok i keep watching this again and again 😅 i love your RIG 😌 very well done lovely details ! But i have a question, do i have to change the servo if i add some simple weight to my RIG ?

[@jjshobbypower9091]

Hey there, thanks for tuning in and glad you enjoyed watching my videos multiple times. 😆 The original servo is OK, it does the job, though it is on the weak side, if you are planning to add any sort of weight to the rig then I would definitely recommend you to change the servo to a much stronger one. They sell them on Amazon as well as other RC hobby stores, shouldn't be difficult to find. I would say minimum the servo should be 20kg, not just because of the extra weight you are planning to add, but imagine stronger servo also allow you to get out of the tricky situation. Another point worth mentioning is to get a water proof servo, in time in sure you will get your rig into water and nut, a water proof servo is a must have. Get the one with metal gears also as the plastic gears one don't send to last from my experience. Hope this is helpful. 😊👍🏼

[@jjshobbypower9091]

Thanks for tuning in Francisco! 😊👍🏼 as you know that specific GPM front bumper is probably made of steel so I couldn't drill holes through, I have used "Gorilla Glue Heavy-Duty Double Sided Mounting Tape Clear" to secure the winch to the bumper's flat surface. It is very sturdy and works perfectly. The winch will not come loose as the motor inside the winch is not as strong as the Gorilla tape, and your winch cable goes through the fairlead so you won't have to worry about losing your winch at all. 😄👍🏼

I've just bought a TRX4 Chassis Kit and am building it from the ground up, I'm not in a rush so do you have any advice on the build and what optional parts should I fit as I build rather than adding on afterwards?

[@jjshobbypower9091]

Hey Robert, nice one, you have enjoy building the trx4 for sure. I have done it once too, I have one trx4 defender and one from kit form. As the kit comes with the chassis, tires and wheels, I would say new aluminium wheels and tires is a good start, the trx4 wheels are good, but they are kinda hard, even after running them in. "Proline" do really good tires and most of the wheels are capable with aluminium by other manufacturers. In terms of electronics, transmitter and receiver are pretty standards, the "RadioLink RC6GS v2" that I use is pretty impressive, so I can recommend that, the original traxxas one is good too, but a bit basic and lack of function. The game changer is the motor itself, I swapped the original motor to a fusion 2in1 motor, it is really powerful, you can do an extremely slow crawl and the motor will not stall at all, it just has so much torque. I have another video done which I spoke about the Fusion 2in1 motor, and you will see how well it slow crawl over the obstacles. Let me know if you need further assistance. 😊👍🏼

[@joeyboy8200]

Great video. What colour is the body? Gold? Is it stock or was it a custom paint job?

Thanks Joey, the body of the Defender is actually the stock grey colour, maybe it was my lighting which made the body looks gold. From Traxxas you can get the body in different colours - red, grey, green, orange, yellow, blue and of course clear for custom paint. 😊👍🏼

What a cool build. Just out of curiosity and not in any way meant as a criticism: Does anyone make an aftermarket recessed box for a filler cap? I think that sticker was the only non-functional part on here.

[@jjshobbypower9091]

Thanks, glad you like it. No, not at all, even any criticism is welcome, we could always improve ourselves. We are all in the hobby to hear each others opinions to enhance the joy. Anyway, Yes, they have a lot of aftermarket recessed filler cap, I was just too lazy to give the body the perfect cut to fit the filler cap. They look OK, but probably best to add a bit of paint yourself to enhance it. Some of my friends have done the filler cab but sometimes they fall off, so you really need to know what you are doing and give the perfect trim, unless you plan to have it glued to the body, otherwise that little screw is not going to hold the filler cab secured to the Defender body. 😊👍🏼

And then I got a customized team associated trail finder which I like that truck it's really cool lol. And then the red cat gen 8 and the wendigo. Which I'm working on atm. And then I got my TRX4 I bought last year and now got the chassis ect to build one from the ground up.

That is super impressive, I am glad you are also very into your RC rigs. Sounds like you have done a lot of modifications to your rigs also, what a cool dude!! How's the upgrade on your TRX-4 going? I presume it is all fully built by now? Sorry for belated response. Haven't been checking my messages for a long time, but I am back at it now. Have a good day my friend.

19:14 I know this video is old, just wanted to point out that your battery is a 4S, not a 2S. Easy to see right there in the video. Goof?

[@jjshobbypower9091]

Haha.. the battery I have in the TRX-4 is 2S, what you see is just the printing on the label, they printed 3 lines and there's a green dot to depict whether it is a 2S, 3S or 4S. Here is a photo of the battery: www.amazon.co.uk/RoaringTop-5200mAh-Battery-Connector-Truggy/dp/B091TKTQTF?ref_=ast_sto_dp

Gloves?

[@jjshobbypower9091]

Yes, right before I recorded the video I was working on another rig filling up the oil inside the shocks, so I left the gloves on during recording. Thank you for tunning in my friend.

😲😲🥰🥰🥰👍👍

[@laltoobaral5188]

I need it.. I'm from India.. In Indian market this type of toys are not available.. So how i can brought 🤔🤔

[@jjshobbypower9091]

Hi there, I think you might be able to get then from Amazon. Otherwise you will have to purchase it from a different country and pay for import tax and duty, but it might become expensive.

[@SkodzGaming]

completely different vehicle lol, I think the only stock item are the tires lol.

[@jjshobbypower9091]

Haha.. the tires are actually from Proline XL. There are only a few parts which I kept from stock. Haha. 😊👍🏼

[@dustinrossi9384]

I almost feel bad for subing you had 666 subs..

[@jjshobbypower9091]

Haha. No worries. Thanks for breaking the devil code. 😈😊👍🏼

[@asfandyarshah4283]

How much does it

[@jjshobbypower9091]

In UK, the standard TRX-4 costs about £550-£580, but you might be able to find it cheaper on Ebay or second hand. 😊👍🏼

[@Will_14_years_ago]

2k??

[@jjshobbypower9091]

Yes, parts are expensive in UK. Some parts are shipped over from Asia. I have an excel spreadsheet to track how much I spent on each of my rigs. We pay higher tax here, unfortunately.

Thank you so much for your support Monster RC. 😊👍🏼

[@zsaxeshed5743]

Yeah that's all kool and all, but do you even crawl bro? It's too clean

[@jjshobbypower9091]

Yes, definitely, the TRX-4 was previously used in indoor course, at the time I thought I would show you guys the modifications I have done to my rig, since then the TRX-4 has been out in the wild a lot and also been on a few competitions. It looks quite different to what it shows in the video now. Thank you for tunning in bro.

[@gregkeezee5969]

Are you interested in selling you extra kyx servo mount i can PayPal you the money... If not I under stand just thought I'd ask... have a good day

[@jjshobbypower9091]

Sorry buddy, I have already fitted it to my Mrs' TRX-4 Sport couple of weeks ago. You might be able to find it on Amazon. 👍🏼

[@SXNTXNXYT]

buen intento ...pero tu trx-4 quedara enterrado por mi defender con +3,400 eur in upgrades😅😎

[@jjshobbypower9091]

Well done to you my friend!! Well, I am sure there is always someone with a better modified rig. We all upgrade our rigs to the specification we like, it is a nice hobby to play with friends, doesn't have to be competition all the time.

[@elbutchos]

You spent waaay too much on sprung weight man. I was at 6.3Kg without adding any weight to the chassis. P.S. 280g SSD wheels with brass rings and steel rotor/disk brakes.
