@capecrawlers what do you think of the new diamond axle version. Which is better ?

[@AppalachianRC]

Finally got my build finished and I'm beyond blown away with it. The body changed this truck completely. Side hills and climbs so much better. Great build in this vid!

[@derekhaumesser2594]

My favorite one you’ve done. Looks sick and crazy how silent that brushed setup is. Super planted as well!

[@matthewcopeland4441]

Another great video Adam! Really glad to see a quality affordable ESC option! I agree on the tires-63mm fit better than the 1.3 and 70s.

[@jakethole]

Man I love the way that rig looks. I really need to put the money into the budget to build me one. Thanks for these videos. My 2 boys and I look forward to watching every video.

[@gottivito478]

This is awesome, i never want a crawler but sinds i watched your video i'm realy want a crawler, you do this with a lot of passion.thanks for the video man!

[@rcfungames]

Adam, the chassis is definitely not mounted right! The shorter pieces in the front of the chassis need to be on the inside of the back rails! And the reason your 8 mm 1.4 Came out the back of your cage is because you forgot to put the two little black tabs that hold the window! Otherwise awesome video like always 🤜💥🤛

[@The_RC_Family]

As you already know I love your videos, but bloody Norah! Now I need to spend a fortune buying one of these! Jokes aside, what a super cool kit. I am messing with the Swamp Claws in 1/10 size on the green inserts over on my channel. Injora are doing a lot of good work lately! I was going to buy the Hobby Plus Evo Pro but now I might just build one of these!

[@JeffTucker-s2j]

Looks great I have built two of them I run a 1.3 wheel with a 70 mm tire and its totally awesome combination.

[@Casitascrawlers]

Thank you & many others for doing these builds I was stuck between buying the ew TRX M Ford High Tail or use a Defender TRX M as a base for this build so after watching you guys build & run them I decided to build one I had to make up my mind because the Chinese New Year is coming but I ordered everything I should need just gotta wait for my order & unfortunately it takes forever but it’s always worth it. 👍

[@heavenisalie]

Someone needs to make a spreadsheet with this body and chassis that is just everything you need to buy for a full injora TRX4M, skip buying the traxxas stuff

[@valledecauca1087]

Yeah u could technically build without buying the stock one I thought same

[@lesbeast1]

I just built one using only injora parts with a furitek cedar motor and lizard pro esc

I just added all the stuff in my cart yesterday. Came up to a little over $400 to build a full rig

[@MysticRiverRC]

Another great build video. I'd love to do this to my Defender, but haven't had time to get the Defender in a video yet. So this might be good for a Spring build. Cheers!

[@PG14306]

Awesome! I want to see those 72mm djcrawler comp pin tires on this thing.

[@rctarded3834]

I built 1 of these and a tarantula with austar ax8560's because I just couldn't strip down my trx4m f150 because i❤ it😂. 1 OF MY FAVORITE CHANNELS

[@xtremedad68]

Have mine with the 1.3 wheels and it is really awesome. This video is very helpful!!

[@beng.6417]

Doing the same build but using High Trail links on the rear and rear drive shafts to extend a bit. Then that tire combo would look better on it.

[@johnnyhotshoe1292]

I've been looking forward to this one. I have an ir40 and huge packages of goods coming from injora China. Great deals, but sucks to wait so long on shipping. Great content as always

[@Dane_Whynot123]

Hey man! This is an awesome build ! Can’t wait to get mine!😁 I love your videos.

[@badeyes83]

I can't get over how much quieter the injora ESC is over traxxas one. No high pitch whine. I'm definitely going to grab a few when I get a chance

[@grantstricklin4439]

The one thing I really dislike is the esc whine. Kind of obnoxious to use indoors.. to the extent I'm considering going brushless, but for the $ could buy another mini crawler lol

[@badeyes83]

@@grantstricklin4439 the stock ESC is almost as bad as nails on a chalk board. I'm glad that injora has made something affordable and doesn't cost the same or more than the purchase of the truck

[@andrewrichey7374]

Looking sweet, I just ordered the purple one today

[@nostayhome]

I got the IR40 bump as well. 😂 Love the rear body mount reversal tip.

[@darco_RC]

Dude! Awesome build but you forgot the to put the two black support washer pieces in the cab. That’s why your screws almost went through the back rails. I did the same and had to look at the instructions again. Great work Adam!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Ahh I wondered what those little pieces were! Makes sense now 😂

[@demantoid418]

This truck is very cool looking I want one. Thanks for letting us know .

[@RobConant-qb7bi]

Never an overkill to go bigger on tire size. Just gives it better crawling ability.

[@crystalwolfmoon2863]

it would be helpful and very informative if you could manage a basic cost rundown with these top end biuilds that you do.

[@jerryfern5392]

$250 no electronics + or - $50 depending how crazy you wanna go and quality of parts you buy. Electronics can be $75-$300 if you have a radio and receiver already.

[@petejones6827]

yo fyi on your chassis you have the braces opposite where they are suppose to go, the back is wider than the front when build correctly and doesnt make the chassis flex when tightened on the tray in the back, the small carbon fiber front pieces are suppose to mount inside the longer ones not on the outside, doing this allows you to put the injora ESC sideways and the reciever right next to it on the tray also there is room for both.

[@Loosescrewrc]

Build turned out great. I am waiting on a green IR40. I plan on running some Meus axles, scx drivtrain, and topping it off with some Phoenix decals lol.

[@Friskee62]

There are 2 black brackets left over that were in the small bag with the headlight stuff in it. Did you ever figure out what the 2 black brackets went to? I didn't see you use them anywhere. They did fit over the 2 screw holes that attached the body to the rear cage.

[@P1ratRuleZZZ]

made the same build with lcg and ir40 body. Really super capable crawler. I believe the only thing to upgrade is to go brushless.

[@hotrod102]

Hey Adam, a video on brass upgrades for those Injora axles would be great. I'm wondering if other manufacturers' diff covers and parts can fit on them.

[@driven_by_rc]

Have you thought about doing the new esc from injora with stock trx4m motor and gearing?

[@egm092478]

Awesome built bro

[@colttalbot4660]

Do you flip both front and rear mounts to make it sit lower and how ?

[@urethanejunky2689]

You should look up oppai factory skid tuck. I did one on my 4m and it totally made it way more capable. Tucks the skid up flush with your chassis 👌🤙

[@johnnyhotshoe1292]

Those look amazing!

[@RCfanAddict]

Hey adam did you ever fix the cab to cage? You need those plastic pieces that hold up the windows installed then you will be able to use proper length screws

[@keithbutler6361]

My body was just delivered and when I opened the box I found the rear cage was missing GREAT !!! this always happens to me , so I have sent an email off to Injora explaining the problem , I'm sure they will replace them but it's the two three weeks waiting for them to be delivered that I'm now stuck with and we all love waiting for parts , I have been ordering from model sport In the UK because its only a couple of days for delivery , so if there is a problem your not sat waighting for weeks on end , I hope Injora get back to me soon , Stay safe mate ...

[@boiledtea479]

That looks so good!!!!! Tho the cyan isnt my favourite option it still looks fire! Relly nice build. I want to buy a trx4m so badly rn lol Awesome build as i said. Also im thinking bout a 1/10 crawler rn…. But ill have to wait for that

[@Brian_Mowry__BMOW71]

Love this build! One of the best so far! Any chance we could get a complete build list and parts run down? Thanks!

[@CapeCrawlers]

I’ll put one together in a follow up video. Got more on the way for this thing

[@vizi0123]

Yes this would be awesome!

[@paulgugliotti9446]

Is the motor available now?

What are the length of the shocks you use in this setup?

[@DRAAAGONEARZ]

MB100 FTW👽👊

[@user-pp3ot6cn2p]

This looks amazing! can you recommend high clearance links that would work with this? Also in the shorts video it has the silver side plates, did the universal chassis come with those? Thanks so much!

[@DigitalHeadShots]

@CapeCrawlers - If you could choose would you stick with this motor/ESC combo or would you go towards one of the Brushless units like the Furitek Komodo/Lizard pro or Cedar/Python pro? Im really torn between my power plant.

[@CapeCrawlers]

I am super happy with this combo. I have the furitek stinger kit for this truck but haven’t felt the need to change out this setup. Very pleased with it

[@Racingwithrob71]

Did you upgrade all your screws because I have some that are starting to strip and I am thinking of buying the injora.

[@Racingwithrob71]

Hardware kit

[@David-vo3do]

What shocks are you running

[@supraluvers]

Some thing I have really been struggling with is deciding whether or not to go with portal axles or straight axles. I am just trying to build the best overall rig and I feel like portal axles should help eliminate torque twist versus the straight axle. But I just don’t know what decision to make????

[@jdpatrick7359]

So I built this and it really rocks everything. I do have one issue, my cage had a bad part, how or who do I contact for Injora issues?

[@RCCrawlerz209]

I'm tellin' ya, that's like a mini Vanquish! Haha

[@crashandcynder]

wonder if those axels would work on the fcx18 or CR18P

[@brokenbirf]

Great video... I would assume that the carbon fiber kit that came out for the defender body should also work for this body?

[@Unsentedcheese]

Could you do a similar build but with the meus axles and little guy trail king tires

[@beastbears1]

Hey Adam! How did you get your 370 motor to work with the mb100 esc? Or what adapter would I need, a traxxas motor to what? Thanks for all the awesome vids you make!

[@thomastometich6767]

Great video. So, are there enough aftermarket parts available to simply build a custom TRX 4M without ever buying a stock one ?

[@kadsafm8288]

Absolutely. I just bought all the parts today for a new tarantula TRX4m build

[@brentfullmer2598]

Adam, are there any major handling differences between this chassis and the original Injora LCG carbon chassis? I have the original not being used and wonder if it's worth buying the new chassis instead. It's for standard length, so the length for high trail isn't needed. Just wondered your thoughts between the 2. Thanks

[@mzondi1970]

Could you provide a link for the motor and transmission if you have it available

[@ThenpcDaniel]

Can you make it like +14mm axles with the 10mm hub extension and the +4mm axles from injora?

Other than battery what trx4m is left :p

[@jeep4034]

Did that motor come with some small tools

Hey! Are those the ascent 18 IR40 hardbody bumpers? Just asking to see if they are compatible or not, I just want to ask because one ppl say that it doesn’t work on the trx4m, Thanks Adam!

[@TonyGellaMusic]

How mutch final cost of this project? What you recommend: get ready traxxas car and upgrade, or made project from zero?

[@TonyGellaMusic]

Anybody😢

[@rocky5101]

Im starting to think it is cheaper to start from the ground up. You’re ending up replacing almost all the parts.

[@RCFIEND24]

How many injora receivers can you hook up to that injora transmitter ?

[@davidhardison3017]

I picked up a TRX4M Bronco that they have already upgraded to carbon fiber chassis. I bought the Injora IR40 and am working on the install. I can't get the front bumper to line up with the holes on the chassis frame. I noticed on yours, it has plastic pieces on the inside of the frame. My kit didn't come with that. Did those pieces come with your lcg carbon fiber chassis or with your IR40 kit?

[@wilterm195]

Can do a review on INJORA IR60 Hard Body Shell for TRX4M Defender Bronco? Will it fit the FX-118?

[@PG14306]

do you know what the gear ratio is in the injora 370 setup? same as the traxxas crawler or trail gears or something else?

[@CapeCrawlers]

I do not. I would have to crack it open to find out but it feels different than the Traxxas gearing

[@jonmandelbaum5395]

I wish they made this body for the FCX24

What are u using to keep ur front end down? I did this exact build and climbing in having issues wanting to come back over

[@CapeCrawlers]

It’s a struggle with mine as well. I tried to set the shocks up as high as I could up front to limit the drop but that’s all I’ve done

2 questions I have first being what springs are you using on injora 59mm shocks the ones that come on them or upgraded ones and second question where did you get those brass spacer for the top shock mounting

[@David-vo3do]

Are you using stock links if not what links are you using?

[@josephlefebvre9213]

This body is sweet! I do prefer the look of it with the 1 inch wheel and 64mm tire though. What do you prefer performance wise? The 64 or 70 mm tire setup?

[@CapeCrawlers]

I think smaller tires/wheels worked better. I just put on some 1.3" DJ Crawler wheels and 64mm tires and it looks fantastic. I haven't run it yet, but I am excited to do so

[@cpetsche]

Can I ask what shock length you used? I just slapped an IR40 together from my leftover chassis and other parts, but had a set of 59mm Injora shocks that didn't work on my Defender, and used those. They seem to work ok, but the rig is a little "wobbly", as one would expect... What length did you use?

Hey Adam… is that the blue or teal color option? At times it looks like both in the video.

Better if you buy a scale 1/24 that you like and from there upgrade parts. Besides, if you buy parts from scratch to build one It will be much more expensive than the stock brand.
