Furitek + Injora + 3Flow9RC = Ultimate TRX4M!

[@3flow9rc10]

Thanks for shot out. The skid you have is to be used and works best with the stock bodies since the bumper overhangs so much. I do already have a shorter, slightly steeper front skid that sits just below and behind the steering link to not interfere at all for more a comp style rig. New servo mount and steering link coming soon for it as well

[@2fmrc]

Sweet! I’m gonna have to pick that one up. I honestly bought this one for my bronco and it just made its way onto this lol. I’m gonna switch it to the bronco and check out the new one for sure! Really appreciate the work you do with these things. We need more people developing new stuff instead of copying the stock stuff in aluminum or brass lol

[@Aundz]

@3flow9rc10 Sounds perfect, when is the new steeper front skid for a comp chassis going to be available roughly?

[@rcglock9608]

I'm glad u got the injora servo. Ur the first one I've seen do a video with it. My stock servo stripped a gear so I ordered an injora one. Should b on its way oversees now. Can't wait

[@paulgarcia8846]

Thanks the video! 3Flow9 is amazing! Love all of his products! Definitely an innovator for these little rigs!

[@wingnutbert9685]

As soon as you started talking about the new servo numbers, I hit pause and scrolled through hoping to see if our Austrian friend had commented. Would be nice if he could get his stout mitts on one to test! :D

[@rockwolfdesigns6384]

I didn't want the TRX4M until I saw this rig. I want that rig. Thanks Matt. I will have to make a build list from this one.

[@seewell8168]

I’m in Fusion right now working on a flat servo mount with the needed steering rod. If it works I’ll throw it on thingiverse for anyone who wants it. So far it’s all printable without supports so will be easy to print.

[@seewell8168]

I've got a setup that is now working perfectl with a Reefs 179 on the Furitek Grasshopper chassis. It now sits horizontal and is just below the 62mm tires I'm running, without having to hack up the stock running gear much at all. The only thing needed is to cut the little tabs off the axle that fit into the notches on the stock servo mount, instead I use the structure of the axel itself to lock in the orientation of the servo mount. I'll take some pictures and upload to thingiverse and printables in an hour, really happy with how this turned out. I'll tag the files as TRX4M servo.

[@keldonator]

Did this limit your steering angle? Seems stock servo mount position is best for most steering capability.

[@rcjoe406]

Make a lay down servo mount?

[@DoubleADay]

Meus racing has a chassis coming and a flat soa mount too

[@2fmrc]

[@RCCrawlerz209]

I ordered me the bettle chassis & coming on Saturday. Putting injora brushed motor kit in it, gonna put some k10 rear links, both on the front & rear, gonna make it super long. Lol Hopefully it works out. Of, btw, fyi, injora has a lay down servo mount option now.

[@wingnutbert9685]

Be nice to see that chassis for scx24 or the Caymen. I like it.

[@GSG-lc5zm]

Hey... Just put a blower scoop on top of the servo and it'll look bad ass 😉 Thanks for all the tips n tricks 👍

[@Steve_J81]

The Lizard ultimate only puts out 8.4v if you run 3s also depending on how amp hungry the servo is it will brown out at the higher voltages.

[@2fmrc]

Yeah I run 3s most of the time. Haven’t had mine brown out at all though. What servo was causing the brown outs?

[@Steve_J81]

@@2fmrc rs100m. It only really does it when I do the servo wiggle.

[@2fmrc]

@@Steve_J81 ahh ok. Yeah I haven’t ran that servo just because a lot of people was saying they ran a bec with it for that reason. I don’t wanna add anything extra in these little trucks so I’m not running a bec lol. I normally just run the 6.5V anyway. Plenty power most of the time.

[@Steve_J81]

@@2fmrc I mainly used it because it was (at the time) only $5 more than the a20cls but now that the injora servo is out I will just run those from now on if they turn out to be good.

[@Gibsonlife573]

With the fury take stuff I believe this is one of the best cars on the market I have the mofo bam 4100 in mine and it is flat-out amazing I got 16% under driving the rear 9% in the front and then just all tricked out but it's the skid man the skid plate it hangs up on everything minutes sets to low right there I do have those little metal brackets I'm going to put on and try to cover it and see if that'll help it slide I really would like to find some type of paint or something that's real slick and hit it all also now there's a lot of portal axles coming out

[@Gibsonlife573]

Awesome build brother

[@TDHobbies]

Looks like I need stock axles, driveshafts and transmission,hardware kit, from the TRX4M and that’s it.

[@kennethrobinson9008]

Wow! Beautiful machine. Matt, how about a video comparison with and without a rear link riser?

[@bradybuckner6184]

the servo looks cool. Think of it like the servo is the motor sticking out and the motor spinning is like the Transmation

[@2fmrc]

No it just looks dumb to me lol. I lay them down if they aren’t hidden by the body. If I’m running stock body it don’t bother me too bad cause you don’t really see it much.

[@Steve_J81]

You should check out the Sagenmfg Manic Chassis.

[@V8chump]

I’d like to see your best builds in some sort of Shootout…. Comparing turning radius, max side/vertical hill, max descent angle, etc?

[@ericmyers1306]

Dang.... I think I'm gonna have to order the bettle now. I disagree on the skid plate... look at all the 1/10 comp rigs with rollers on the steering link. I think that skid plate is doing more harm than good. I can't believe how well that thing climbs without any rear springs. Enough space on the chassis for factory electronics?

[@2fmrc]

Yeah after driving it the skid really sticks out a bit more and may not be the best solution. I think I’m going to go back to my 3D printed link that sits back farther than stock. It wouldn’t work with the skid. There should be room for the stock electronics. They’ll just be mounted a bit higher than I’d like.

[@3flow9rc10]

The 3FLOW9 RC skid for the TrX4m is designed to be used with the stock bodies. It gives the best glancing angle with the bumpers sticking out. And it's only 4mm past the steering link. Youll eventually hit something in the front end without it. I already have a 2nd version to be used with cage style chassis. It sits just behind the steering link but has a slightly steeper angle to it.

[@2fmrc]

@@3flow9rc10 yeah it’s not anything you did wrong with it really. Just the horrible design of the servo mount and links lol. I was thinking I’d probably move it to my bronco because I plan to leave the body on that one.

[@usafmfe100]

Nice build... what battery are you running?

[@Stempy]

[@eddyfpv652]

Matt can you compare the trx axles with fms like track width also would cool if they can be used on the monster trucks

[@aaronscott2278]

Amazing man great video so far really appreciate all you do for the community it’s not easy doing amazing consistent content like this 🔥

[@shockman8014]

I haven't really considered a trxm before but now it's might be coming up someday. The servo looks whack, but it might look good with a 3d sleeve that makes it look like a V8. Seems a mistake to have the wires coming out the top for that configuration.

[@Gibsonlife573]

Would you still consider this txr4 only thing it really has left is there axles correct

[@2fmrc]

Axles,transmission and driveshafts. Pretty much it. Not sure if it’s still a Trx4m or not but I know it’s basically the only Trx4m I drive 😆

[@speedbob712]

Love the channel Matt but man I'm burnt out on 24s the cost is getting to be out of control for what seems like to be that every company and parts companies are starting to seem like running out of ideas its all looking the same these days and may I add upgrades for 24s should not cost the same as 10s. I work at a local hobby shop the talk at ours and the sales numbers all been showing a peaking. Say a burning out. Like how 10s did few years back. Here in my area 10s are coming back in popularity. But I guess that's what is good about this hobby there's always something for someone to each there own.

[@2fmrc]

@@OGMikey. i definitely get that but for me that’s almost the price a 1/10 rtr runs and then I start adding parts on top of that. My good 1/10s probably have $1200-1500 in them and I never even run them because I like the 1/24s more. So for me it’s like I’m saving money 😆 At least that’s how I like to think of it lol

[@xr70man]

You don't need to spend a ton of money on a 24 to have fun with it. I have several one is almost stock and is a blast to drive another has about 6 bills invested into it which isn't bad because when I build 1/10th crawlers I have that much just in axles and rims

[@2fmrc]

@@xr70man I agree! I sometimes prefer to just run a stock truck. Something awesome about making tough lines with a stock truck. My completely stock rusted pumpkin fcx24 is definitely one of my favorites to drive. But we still always have to have a few that have the best of everything!

[@rekik66]

Dang. This video makes me want to get a trx4m. 😂

[@rockwolfdesigns6384]

[@stratosamv7119]

Good looking rig, but will still not buy a tx4m!

[@2fmrc]

Don’t blame ya one bit 😆

[@willyjimmy8881]

Smart decision. Total junk.

[@OGMikey.]

IMO the servo is a waste of money. The extra power and speed is not needed in a 1/24, 1/18 crawler. A $10 emax does the same job.

[@2fmrc]

No an Emax don’t come close to any of the servos I mentioned. No power at all compared to these. I won’t even buy an Emax anymore. There are so many fakes out there the last few I’ve had lasted about a wk.

[@joshc6080]

Emax servo's are 💩👌

[@willyjimmy8881]

Why spend the mony on a custom chassis and use the same shite traxxas electronics? For that matter why even waste money on the trx4m that you have to pretty much completely replace, just start clean and put it together the way you want it.

[@nate4024]

So true I'm so over all these companies ripping us off. I'm going back to trailing and 10th scale crawling I need a break foe 24

[@2fmrc]

Yeah the Trx4m needs quite a bit out of the box to me. The fact they couldn’t even put bearings in it blows my mind lol

It looks like a great chassis EXCEPT for the front shock towers. They look like dongs. Literally any other shape would look better. It could also use adjustable upper link mounts.
