How to install Traxxas Trx4M bearing kit and Injora brass upgrades

[@GreenEyedScotty]

Your videos are fantastic Ryan - informative and a joy to watch. Can’t wait to build a red Bronco similar to yours. Have the same rims and tires on the way, bearings, low-range gears, lights. Appreciate your content on the TRX-4M. Brilliant! ~Scott

[@rcfungames]

Good morning GreenEyedScotty 👋 Thank you so much 👍 it is great to hear that my video was helpful ☺️ especially after all the work trying to film while working on the car. This is definitely been one of my favorite little crawlers to work on. You are definitely going to have a blast upgrading yours. Really appreciate the support They will be another video coming soon. 🤜🤛

[@GreenEyedScotty]

Hi Ryan. In all your videos with your Bronco have you changed any driveline parts - drive shafts, diff gears, axles? I'm curious to know if you think those upgrades are necessary. If all those parts are stock in your videos then I'll be happy to leave mine alone (aside from bearings and the low-range gear set.) Thanks for breaking the trail for us!

[@rcfungames]

Hi @@GreenEyedScotty No I have not changed any parts on the diffs or driveline only changed to low gearing inside the gearbox. Soon I will order the metal diff gears and extended drive shafts for inside the diffs so I can widen the vehicle by 2 mm on each side. But they are running perfectly fine the way they are and I am more than impressed with the performance you get out of these little RC's. Thank you so much 🤜💥🤛 for your supporting comment 👊😉 Anything in particular you would like to see me do to these vehicles let me know?

[@GreenEyedScotty]

@@rcfungames excellent! Are you using Traxxas batteries or have you looked at making/getting an adapter to utilize off brand lipos? I have a couple 2S lipos for my Mini-B that I'd like to use in my TRX-4M if possible. I won't replace the stock ECM though so if need be I'll buy a couple more Traxxas batteries. Looking forward to seeing more of your TRX-4M videos, cheers!

[@rcfungames]

@@GreenEyedScotty I am running original battery If there's one thing I've learned about Traxxas it's not to play around with adapters, I will probably just buy more Traxxas batteries for them. Only if I end up changing out the ECM. But for now these batteries have plenty power and lost long time even with all the weight I've added. They will be more videos coming soon. 😁 Keep safe 🤜💥🤛

[@biggranny000]

I appreciate this video, i recently got the bearing kit and since im not mechanically inclined i kept getting stuck lol so i went on KZbin to see if someone did it.

[@rcfungames]

Well I'm glad to hear my video was helpful! And I really appreciate you taking the time to leave me a comment. Happy Trails bro! 🤜💥🤛

[@kickstart118]

You’re a legend! Thanks for the perfect camera angle! 📐 you nailed this video!

[@rcfungames]

I really appreciate that bro, thank you so much! If this is the kind of feedback that keeps a person motivated!! You have an awesome day and I'll catch you on the next one bro.

[@wapartist]

Great video actually showing the process! Doing this in the morning. Cool thing is set the playback speed on .5x and you can actually see the micro torque adjustments youre doing by hand

[@rcfungames]

Thank you so much bro, I really appreciate your awesome comment! and I'm glad to hear the video is helpful. I hope you have an awesome time doing your build😁 Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.

[@LadyGodiva-hi3ym]

Thanks for your videos. Very helpful not just breezing through the important stuff to take apart and put back together. I’m new to the hobby and must have had to rewatch this 4 times to get things right. Thanks for not just sayin, oh this so cool, look at it now.

[@rcfungames]

Thank you for your awesome comment it makes it worth it putting the effort in to make these videos!! And if it only helps one person that makes it worth it to me!! There is so many channels out there that do exactly what you just said and I can't see what that helps anybody that is new to this Hobby. Thank you very much for watching and commenting. Hope to see you again on the next one 👊😉

[@busman2050]

Very nice the way you respond to viewers guy. Very classy calling people stupid.

[@rcfungames]

Excuse me where did I call anybody stupid? I would never refer to somebody in a comment like that if they weren't rude in the first place!

[@makoskid]

Okay, few, all bearings and frontend brass in following your video. Left servo out for tomorrow as I'm attempting to put in metal gears. Video was a fantastic help. Side note, my buddy is living in Coimbra.

[@rcfungames]

Well done bro 🤜🤛 so glad that my video was able to help 🙏 Really appreciate your view and comment 🤜💥🤛 Are you talking about the metal gears in the gearbox or the diffs? I am just waiting for my aluminum diff housings to arrive then I will be doing a full Injora Diff build 🎥 Cool stuff Coimbra is like 600 km From me✌️😁🇵🇹 And I've been there many times beautiful city 💯

[@makoskid]

@@rcfungames metal gears for stock servo to replace plastic ones. Cheaper than buying Traxxas Servo with metal gears as they sell kit to replace with metal gears.

Great video!helped lot. Thanks

[@rcfungames]

@@shumprats anytime bro. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 🤜💥🤛

[@bigboo375]

Great video as always did u decide what bearing kit u liked better

[@rcfungames]

You know what after 1 year of testing, in and out of water, and everything else like dust and sand! the only thing I really haven't tested them in his mud!! I stripped them both apart recently, and and both have behaved exactly the same! So for the price difference between Traxxas and injora! I would go for injora! As I would be able to buy three kits! So if they failed!! I would have backups anyway! There definitely doesn't seem to be, a quality difference between the two. I will do a video talking about this very soon 😉

Hi Sophie 😉👍 Thank you so much for your kind comment I'm so glad this video could help you ☺️

[@alejandroarq99]

This is what I needed...out of curiosity, how long did it take you to change bearings? Thanks for taking the time to do this video.

[@rcfungames]

I'm really glad to read that this video helped you, and thank you so much for the view and comment 🤜💥🤛 Not too long, about 1and half hours And it really did make a difference 🔥🔥🔥

[@didierurbain3159]

Nice vidéo good modification 👍😉

[@rcfungames]

I really appreciate it 👍 thanks bro 🤜🤛

[@makoskid]

Just installed the rear bearings following your video. I did notice with the Injora diff cover if I even tighten the screws a bit too much I get binding. Spins free, binds, then free when rotating. With diff cover off no binding, anyway threadlocker and just cinched up.

[@rcfungames]

Hi bud, I'm glad my videos helping you 👍 if there's anything I can do just let me know! Yeah definitely don't tighten too hard. Just tighten until flush. 👍

[@makoskid]

@@rcfungames stay tuned as front end is next. Thanks for the reply.

[@Paul-wz1tm]

Bearing kits really help steering at full lock.

[@rcfungames]

Yes the bearings to me is one of the most important upgrades you can do to these little trucks!! I'm glad to see you finding my videos helpful bro, and I really appreciate you watching and commenting. Thank you very much, and I hope to see you again on the next one. 🤜💥🤛

[@alantrujillo873]

Just curious on what you ended up thinking was better the injora kit or the traxxas kit?

[@rcfungames]

In the last video I posted customizing the Bronco I mentioned what I thought about the differences between the two kits. After testing both sets for over a year, in the same type of conditions water dust sand rocks, the only thing I didn't do was run them in mud. I stripped them down recently, define that both have behaved identically. Which in my opinion doesn't justify the price difference from the injora kit over the Traxxas on! So in my opinion I would save a few bucks ordering from Traxxas and rather pick up from Injora. I hope that helps 👊😉

[@nafex3740]

Keep up the good work 👏 🙌 👍 Thanks for sharing friend 👍 Always great watching you guys !

[@rcfungames]

Thank you very much bro ☺️ Really appreciate the view and comment 🤜🤛

[@RCBirds]

Awesome upgrades. I'm really curious which bearings are better.

[@rcfungames]

Thanks bro 👊😉 Me too, so I will be running them through various different conditions and I'll let you know what they like after a couple of months. Really appreciate the view and comment my friend 👍👍👍

[@rustandoil]

This certainly shows how a TRX4m is put together..... I think I'd have treated those gears to a bit grease 😉

[@rcfungames]

Thank you I'm glad you liked the video, the only reason I didn't put grease on these gears is because they are plastic!! And if there's one thing I have learned over the years is that the plastic gears do not like Grease!! They fail even easier. Anyway if you continue watching the videos you will see that once I fit metal gears I use grease on them. 😉

[@mpampis_o_fou2027]

so far after 5 months did you see a difference from injora or traxxas bearing kit?

[@rcfungames]

No so far I see no difference, both preforming really well

[@Adam_Oden]

What was the end result? Injora or Traxxas bearings? Was about to purchase the injora sealed set.

[@rcfungames]

@@Adam_Oden the end result was that after a year-and-a-half of testing, they both seem to perform the same! So it definitely doesn't justify buying the pricey Traxxas bearing kit.

[@Adam_Oden]

@@rcfungames perfect. Thanks for the info

[@eckos2310]

Hi, thank you so for this video as well as for all of your other videos too. They really help me out. I have a question 🙋‍♂️ you for you. So I did the injora seal bearings, injora drive shaft and crawl gears ⚙️. But my motor sound louder then before is this ok/normal?

[@rcfungames]

Hi my friend 😉 I'm extremely glad to read that my videos where helpful ☺️👍 Yes it might sound a bit louder because you have now got reduction gears, you did make sure that they was a little bit of play between your pinion gear and spur gear? It also sounds louder because the gears are moving so much faster inside the gearbox but yet you're not going as fast. When you pick up the car that he's no binding right? As long as everything is running smoothly I would say it's okay

[@eckos2310]

@@rcfungames hi, thank you for getting back to me. Yes I left a little bit of play between pinion gear ⚙️ and spur gear ⚙️. No, there is no binding. I did test, drive it and it seems to be fine. It just seem to be a little louder than before. I’m looking 👀 forward to more of your videos.

[@andrewrichey7374]

I noticed you didn’t grease the gears?

[@rcfungames]

You noticed right! because I was taught that on this type of plastic gears you do not put grease. If you do it softens the tips of the teeth making it more prone to failing.

[@eckos2310]

What name brand and size are the tires?

[@rcfungames]

Hi I believe I did mention it in the description of the video, but they are from Injora 62mm super soft pro sticky tires they only have one set that is made from this compound, so you can't go wrong on there site. If you need I can share a link to the tires 😉

[@montecasler215]

all that effort to tear it apart and not a single drop of grease on any of the gears that seems kinda dumb

[@rcfungames]

No dude everybody has their own opinion! With plastic why would you run Greece that just seems stupid as it will make the plastic softer so who looks stupid now!! Anyway I only put grease on metal gears as I've done now that I have fitted then Thank you very much for your view and positive comment

[@rcfungames]

@@montecasler215 dude watch the rest of the videos and stop being an idiot I've had enough I'm just going to block your comments

[@NEVERGOON100]

With the diffs you can just unscrew the diff cover and squeeze a drop in without taking anything else apart. with the transmission you have to take everything out but for me my transmission is the speed gearing plastic blue gears so they don’t need any anyways

[@Paul-wz1tm]

All my minis, few brands too, and I never find any grease. I always put some marine grease in mine.

[@busman2050]

Terrible music!
