Any possibility for doing the MEUS trailing arm kit review?

[@kennethrobinson9008]

Adding a brushless motor increases performance to another level (not easy). Furitek Integration ESC, 3s, and paired to a Komodo motor is a different beast! My favorite TRX4M build by far.

[@samintrepid]

I Install a Furitek Cedar brushless motor in this transmission and the set screw on the pinion gear rub inside the trans gear. You have to reverse the pinion gear on motor but I wasn't able or put a shim between motor and transmission case.kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5-ropRpjduebKc

[@valledecauca1087]

And. The cedar?

[@samintrepid]

@@valledecauca1087 As you can see in my video, the cedar motor are really fast in second gear, much faster and more trq than the bruhed injora 48t.

[@Trevinator1990]

@@samintrepid i was able to flip the pinion around on the cedar motor and install it in the 2 speed. its really the best setup you can get on the trx4m.

[@WilliamHerd-d8z]

ive got the meus racing 2 speed on a furitech 2s brushless lizard pro and tornado combo

[@wapartist]

Oh man! I knew someone was gonna come out with an answer for the 2 speed competition

[@Mariogrc3]

I found shock o-rings give a clean wire management option. If you don't want zip tie blocks hanging around

[@MysticRiverRC]

Slow crawl is awesome! That is one of the biggest limitations for the stock Trx4m. I avoided getting crawler gears though, because it robs you of wheel speed for trailing. This solves the issue.

[@gottivito478]

This is the best looking trx4m i ever see , good job man!

[@joseaponte2829]

I like the whole set up that you put together on the TRX4-M great looking set up crawls very well with the 2 speed Meus Transmission, great review i like the video.

[@makestuffbetter19]

Bro! this is awesome! and really affordable too! Thank you for the video!

[@garretthuff1905]

Just added this to my trx4m, waiting for the new radio to hook up the shifting servo. What a neat invention!

[@mark-mj5dl]

Dont forget the overdrive and underdrive gears for the diffs from injora.

[@KenMrKLC]

Awe man! I was hoping you installed it into the stock chassis…… I was interested in the look and fit there, not in this CF one. However I see the want in this build…. It’s sick

[@U.s-epa]

Fits great in the stock chassis no mods at all

[@cwthemachinist]

Wow! Overall, what an amazing build. The whole thing looks exceptional. The wheel and tire combo=mean! The Meus trans is truly impressive and a great deal. Great videos as always! 🤜🤛

[@dua4436]

Can l change the second gear to more faster setup ?

[@tifflynn2215]

Got this same setup and could not figure out the springs for the servo so for now it’s manual but very awesome transmission

[@patrickgeorge4306]

Thanks for the video! I love my 4M's, but by far the worst part about the truck is the gearing options especially with stock electronics. In my tarantula I'm running a cedar motor on 3s with crawler gears, and my high trail has an fcx24 trans using a 3D printed skid. Good to see the aftermarket stepping up with more options. Now the question is who's going to figure out how to combine the 370 motor and 2 speed???

[@U.s-epa]

Will it not bolt right up?

[@heatherlee7616]

For that price that’s insanity do you know if the traxxas brushless motor for the trx4m would mount to the transmission?

[@rcjoe406]

This is what we need and needed 😊

[@PerdueRC]

Should try the oppai factory chassis with that IR40. Incredible upgrade for that body.

[@Emanj1023]

Just bought a trx4m high trail and spent 80$ on injora using your discount👌🏽

[@CapeCrawlers]

Awesome! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@WarmGlassOfBatteryAcid]

lol my trx4m has 4 servos on it. Front and rear steering, winch and now the transmission

[@BerkshireRC]

Yea snow here in the berkshires only 8 out there today been working on my mini also

[@valiant7357]

Will the Furitek brushless motors work with this transmission?

[@thomascook-ii6qo]

wish it fit the scx24 had my scx24 for a few years. i got the fcx24 blazer a couple months ago and love the 2 speed. been thinking about putting a fcx24 trans in my scx24

[@egm092478]

Another great video

[@AhmedAli-my9we]

It looks so awesome, but can I put the furitek motor? On this transmission.

[@dannykerby9580]

I would like to visually see why it wont work in the ripper chassis. If it means just not having the interior plate due to height and not having to trim any cage bars, I would go for it in mine.

[@emanuel616]

Was gonna try this out with some meus portals but After seeing the speed I think, straight injora axles with the fast diff gears ⚙️ 🤔

[@whatfreedom7]

I put crawler gears in my Trx4m but now I’m a little disappointed I lost all plus higher speed so I want to gas it and punch through something it’s not even a option now. So I need a different set up maybe a 2 speed or maybe go up a little in ky gears. Is there another easier way vs this in the video?

[@Sweak22v1]

Would like to see if you pick up any performance with the injora 180 pro motor

[@quentinh4316]

How did you set the end points for the servo on the shifter?

[@AnySumptionBanter]

I really like the look at this injora and seen another yt where he built one completely out of injora parts. This is an interesting rig.. at what point does it not become a trx4m and becomes an injora24? I think I was partial to the single speed with that injora esc. i have a 2 speed and everytime I switch over and if I'm on a hill, there is enough slop where it falls back. So, pro's and cons as always in this hobby right? Thanks for the vid!

[@boiledtea479]

does this exist for the scx24 aswell?

[@dandaman8977]

@CapeCrawlers Just subscribed, so stoked on your content! Looking to get a mini comp crawler and was totally sold on the CR18P Evo Pro.. until I saw this build!😍 Any idea if the IR40 body will fit on the Evo Pro? Thanks!

[@brad4407]

You want to stop stripping screws? Ditch the hex wrenches and use T5/T6 torx bits.

[@saltysteel3996]

I have a set of titanium Team Losi drivers and they have never stripped a screw head out. Over 10 years of use and the drivers still look brand new too.

[@brad4407]

@@saltysteel3996 Nice. I meant T6 and t8 anyway and a too lazy too track down my comment. Never using hex again

[@sammyboswelldirtybrc7580]

Man I wanted one of these thanks for the info now I don’t want on unless they change the gearing was hoping for a contender for the fms that sucks hope they come out with different gearing for a single speed to out run a two speed 😢

[@RCCrawlerz209]

& I thought Injora did a great job, giving us a big ass 2 speed motor for the M, this Meus version looks more technical than Injora's, honestly. Lol

[@FishTacos357]

what are those sliders you have on there?

[@Garrettsbackyardcrawlers]

I love your channel and I'm thinking about getting a trx4m ford bronco so do you think you could post more videos on it Pls

[@LostFozz_OverLand]

Just wondering what motor will work with this 2speed? I have the injora pro 48t and the brushless motor on the way but will thay work on this tcase

[@kipabell2474]

Very cool rig but I can’t help wonder… with all those new parts, when does it stop being a trx4m? 😅

[@BillionDollaGil]

😂🤔🤔

[@OkRC.crawlers]

So if I have stock ECM and radio/reciever will this work? I just have to manually change the gear?

[@senKeiser]

Nice! Do you need the one with their motor or the gearbox only should work with the Traxxas motor?

[@NBC_NCO]

Nice gear box.

[@jleftbrane]

Did you bind your mt12 to the injora transceiver by chance? Or any furitek receivers?

[@monstermaxsrcs5893]

Nice can you do a video of a budget build for 60 dollars please for the scx jlu thank you

[@Donovarcotfw]

Hey man, have you used the MEUS trailing arms yet for the rear setup ? If so, how do they compare to normal suspenion ?

[@CapeCrawlers]

I have them sitting on my bench but haven’t used them. I may put them on the new mb18 build

[@raidersperez1278]

I’m assuming that bronco Body would clear the esc and battery? Seems like this body is thinner than the bronco right?

[@CapeCrawlers]

Yes it will fit the bronco. Much tighter in the IR40

[@Sparroh]

Can you go over the electronics and radio again? It doesn’t work with the Traxxus ecm and remote?

[@CapeCrawlers]

You have two options: 1) use the manual shifting mechanism (comes with the kit) and keep the stock radio 2) use a micro servo to shift gears and use an aftermarket remote The Traxxas radio doesn’t have an extra switch for the servo to do electronic shifts

[@WilliamHerd-d8z]

can you do somethins on the meus racing portals

[@shelbyGT40]

I want to see how you build a course.

[@VetteWay2Fast]

Have u tried the hot racing ultra low 60:1 gearing? Been searching for videos on it but none that I can find. Want to see it compared to the standard 40:1 low range gears

[@CapeCrawlers]

I have not, but the low range here is pretty close to 60:1. Super slow! Would be great with a lower turn motor though

[@VetteWay2Fast]

Gotcha, what low turn motor would u recommend?

[@sandytoes8535]

Will this fit the stock trx4m high trail chassis

[@M3rwin6]

Great content! Are those the +4mm axles? Also where did you find those frame sliders?

[@CapeCrawlers]

Yes, +4mm with the new laydown servo option. The sliders came with the transmission

[@JohnnySmith-z8p]

What about 3s battery run ?

[@KorbinRodland]

Could you run a brushless motor in the 2 speed transmission

[@CapeCrawlers]

Good question. I haven’t seen anyone try it but that would be an awesome combo. Maybe I’ll give it a shot

[@matthewwmullan]

finally found a use for emaxs

[@Steve_J81]

Injora purple 48t would be perfect for the 2speed, the 87t Meus motor is way too slow.

[@tuna3461]

My thoughts exactly. I plan on buying this and seeing what it can do. Even on totally stock gears it’s quite quick!

[@KorbinRodland]

Is it still water proof

[@keith6360]

is it water proof? My son wants to know lol

[@giopirmisashvili5514]

❤❤❤thank you

[@AgeOrmstad]

Sweet 😎💪

[@MrsRabbit8]

Do you think it's possible to put a 370 on this transmission?

[@CapeCrawlers]

If I remember correctly, Meus said explicitly that the 370 would not fit. Not sure if thats changed or not, but I remember the incompatibility when this was first released.

[@spinebrackes1667]

can you run the injora purple Moter

[@CapeCrawlers]

Yes, that should bolt right up

[@djjinx919]

So you have to re-position the battery?

[@CapeCrawlers]

Yes, unless someone else has a way to retain the stock tray. I couldn’t make it work on mine

[@jackjarboe4565]

Is it waterproof?

[@CapeCrawlers]

Good question. I suppose if you used a micro servo that was waterproof it would be. I didnt crack it open to see how well greased it was

[@jackjarboe4565]

Ok thanks.

[@matthewwmullan]

how heavy?

[@jonathanmcdonald5411]

Awesome setup. I wish the 4m came with a 2 speed, like the fms rigs, but it's good to know there's an option out there. I would like to see the wheel speed with the injora 48t pro motor. Bet that would pep it up.

[@DJ.1001]

Losing the battery tray us a huge bummer

[@johngilson7085]

If you are using the MB100 ESC and not running a 3S LiPo you are losing performance. Spektrum 850mAh 30c batteries fit the stock battery tray with a slight modification. They last longer and provide improved performance. There is no reason not to upgrade.

[@CapeCrawlers]

I haven't even tried it on 3S, and I have those batteries too. I'll give it a shot!

[@truekingfpv]

Once every component is replaced on a crawler, is it safe to say that it’s still the trx4m? 🤣

[@CapeCrawlers]

Only for the algorithm lol

[@CreeksideEastRC]

Great video as always! I have the body and some other goodies on order and I can't wait. Have you seen the chassis by @Oppai_Factory made for this body? I have one on order now....
