AX-8560/TRX4m New Parts, New Rocks!!

This "Traxxas" lookalike can actually hold its own, Even in the WET!
After my week long trip across the country, I had the chance to stop in Arkansas, and mine for some crystal. Today is the first trail run with the addition of the sandstone and quarts.
I'm excited to share that I took my TRXJeep out for a test run today with the newly installed Injora 59mm shocks and 64mm tires. Let me tell you, the difference is night and day! With these new shocks, the vehicle feels incredibly planted and stable. I'm confident that all of the upgrades are now complete and the TRXJeep is ready for any adventure that comes its way.
We were pleasantly surprised by the many little upgrades that come with this crawler, especially considering its low price. It's definitely a great value for your money.
Compared to my modified Defender and its upgrades, this $80 TRX4m could be the best budget 1/18th scale crawler out there!

I got mine in yesterday. Immediately installed some trx4m shocks, swapped the springs over and threw on some new wheels and tires. Im really impressed with it so far! Definately worth every penny. Those crystals are awesome! nice Score for the crawler area.

[@ThisGuyST_RC]

Thank you! I find this to need just a few upgrades to make it very capable!

[@dez1969]

Awesome video, thanks for sharing upgrades. Mine arrived a week or so. Got some wheels and brass on the way. Trying to get a Austar Hobby AX-8560 group started up on fb if people fancy sharing tips.

[@peterGriffin-ug7jv]

Thats cool but a lot of people dont have face book.

[@raymondwendt6205]

Yeah, having fun with mine. Put stock trx shocks on it. Used some trx satin bead locks so I could add wheel weights to the front. Also removed the hard foam and kept the original tires. Actually does quite well. Did you fix the steering? There are two posts on either side of the servo horn. It limits how far it steers and probably why people are burning up their servo. Can't set end points. Snip them off with a side cutter. Way better steering.

[@ThisGuyST_RC]

yes, i just replaced the servo with a rampcrab servo and mount.

[@raymondwendt6205]

@@ThisGuyST_RC Cool. It looks like the stock trx4m servo mount will fit but, I didn't want to take it apart.

[@ThisGuyST_RC]

@@raymondwendt6205 i was in the same boat, lol i have yet to get into the transmission but if its anything like the axels, they did use grease, so i have a feeling its the same.

[@peterGriffin-ug7jv]

What brass diff cover is that? Mine should be here next week

[@samintrepid]

I try to install the injora brass diff cover on my ax-8560 but when I tight the 4 screw the diff become hard to turn, I finally reinstall the plastic diff cover.

[@ThisGuyST_RC]

In my previous video, I talked about differential clearing. If you smash it down by 100%, it can pinch the bearings. I have a thin gap around the entire cover, but it is still sealed.

[@usbsol]

Looks great - do you have a build video for the upgrades? #iamanoob 🤙

[@ThisGuyST_RC]

I have a little breakdown of whats done to it. But its no longer in my possession.

[@justinluczak5611]

Will trx4m injora parts like brass c hubs and brass steering knuckles fit ?

[@ThisGuyST_RC]

From what i can see, yes, the only real difference is the width of the axle are +5mm for both sides.

[@brianhawkins866]

Ever since i bought metal wheels and better tires i keep breaking the driveshaft and having to rerigg it back together.do u know if trxm metal drive shafts will work on these? If not do u know what will. I can't find upgrades parts for this thing

[@ThisGuyST_RC]

Yes the drive shafts work, just look for the ones that are keyed to fit and dont have a bunch of slop.

[@brianhawkins866]

Will trx4m ring and pinion gear work on these?

[@ThisGuyST_RC]

Yes. Be cautious tho, the bearkings might be a little tight.

[@dez1969]

Are the shocks you used 59mm in total or hole to hole? I think standard are 53mm? Just wondering what size to order.

[@ThisGuyST_RC]

They are the Injora 59mm, hole to hole.

[@dez1969]

Thanks. Do you think it is better to go with the longer shocks?

[@ThisGuyST_RC]

@dez1969 59 is max id go, if you go more, you run into the drive shaft binding at large flex. My defender has the 62mm shocks and it has almost to much flex.

[@dez1969]

I have some new wheels coming that i am going to try with the stock tyres so might just stick to 53mm ones to keep it lower.

[@ThisGuyST_RC]

@dez1969 heck yeah! 🤟

[@Rckid28]

Where do you get the lights for this body?

[@ThisGuyST_RC]

they are part of the body kit on the AX-8560
