Hey I jw I was looking at the hot racing mini b shocks I've been looking at them but wasn't sure they would work as well or if I should just get regular aluminum mini b shocks I was also looking at the hot racing 1/18 dromida shocks they seem different but wasn't sure love the build

After lots of testing I maxed out at 56 degree incline with the stock shocks and springs. The trx4m has a lot of torque twist and I found that putting 4 shock spacers on the rear passenger made it crawl so much better. Might be worth checking out and putting a weak spring in the rear right to combat that torque twist.

56 is impressive! That explains why the stock setup has the spacer pre installed in the rear. I’ll do some tweaking with this in mind 👍🏻

I am in process of building an extended wheelbase trx4m. Will be cutting the front frame arms off for more servo clearance. Losi B shocks are on the way! thanks for proving them out. You're going to need to run rear springs of some sort. I just can't get away without them to reduce the frame twist. My rubber band limiter seems to be most effective when connected to the servo bracket instead of the links. Love to see where this build is heading. I've given up on the factory body. Even after removing the top and windows, it's still crazy heavy.

@@CapeCrawlers I see they just posted the Bettle for pre-order ;) I'm going for LCG type crawler, so I prefer grasshopper style with full length rails so I can push the upper shock mounts toward the link pivots. I'm going to see how far the factory chassis rails will get me, first. for mocking up, new setup will be factory trx4m rear lower links with custom length uppers to provide appropriate front caster angle. Once I finalize that, I'll likely fab some custom high-clearance links front and rear.

After doing the budget lift on this thing I found that the axle pins kept popping out on all of them and I lost all the pins. What I did to fix this issues was to put a paper clip thru then wrapped it around the driveshafts where the o-rings would be and I have had an issue since. I’ve just got major binding while driving straight. Drive line angles are too aggressive causing this bind.

I'm thinking about getting a set! Also, you should try out some tracks! Your video on it would be super awesome! My guess for the weight is 907g, with the battery!

That's a good idea: pitfalls of upgrades! Your issue sounds like an electrical one of some sort. Possibly the transmitter and the throttle settings? Have you tried messing with the throttle adjustments? It could be a faulty ESC also. Sometimes they glitch out after adding new electronics or heavier/more demanding upgrades.

@@CapeCrawlers Ow really? I never considered it might be the ESC, I tried adjusting all the throttle setting manually, but it didn't help, I thought possibly i put the cable into the ESC upside down, that didn't help either, looks like I'll have to buy a new ESC, do you have any you recommendations? or just the stock ESC?

Axles are stock housing. I added the +2mm injora axles and treal hex extensions. Shocks are Losi mini B rear shocks all around (amzn.to/3EWsRiV) with Adaptiv3 Designs (etsy) flex extensions.

Hi. How do you feel weight on the rear axle? Noticed you had x4 Treal 10mm hex (heavy) extensions. Did you end up putting any on the rear?

I have the brass diff cover in the rear and the heavy hexes in the rear. It feels good! Pretty well balanced and super planted. It is awfully heavy though. I'm glad I have the brushless motor!

A fully upgraded SCX24 will outperform the M, or that's how it is with my SCX24's. The bronco and JLU would be close, but the others are unquestionably more capable than the M.

You know i just got my trx4m. Ford high trail. And I'm actually disappointed yes its got a hard body. Clip less mounts. But..... its got bushings not bearings. Plastic gears in transmission and and for the first time a traxxas product doesn't seem strong. It feels like I'm going to brake it.
