[@sylvainster30]

The hobby as really improved in the past 20 years! Back then we upgraded bushings with bearings, tune pipes instead of the canister muffler and alloy fluid filled shocks to replace friction ones! 😂 Don’t forget to subscribe and smash that like button! This channel delivers the best RC content on youtube! 👊🏼

Lol i remember the hastles 😂😂😂😂 its so much easier now days!

[@rccarnage580]

New to to you channel dude, I’m just getting back into the hobby after 20 years away from it 🤘

[@DanielStinebaugh]

The end needs to have a grand total! So many parts!!!! This thing's going to be awesome when your done!

[@raymonddelano8961]

When I ordered my traxxas trx4 defender I also ordered the traxxas stainless steel screws. I ended up also ordering the stainless steel screws from rc screws because the traxxas screw set didn't do the complete unit. The traxxas screw set also has the ones for the steering servo when the one from rc screws didn't have

[@addamwright1733]

Of course people will complain and of course people are going to say that is "too much" or it is "a waste of money" to add all those parts but I'm glad you are. I am thinking about getting a sport kit and adding a few things to it so I appreciate all the parts you are showing even if i may not get them myself, it helps. I have been itching to build a kit for a while and really like the one TRX4 kit with the rear cage/extra scale parts included and was thinking about adding the fenders to it to make it more scale and to keep the crap out of the chassis. Seeing them go in and how much of a difference it made I am going that route!! Thanks as always for the cool videos and spending the time to share them with us :)

In this day in age it is great to have a hobby. And fun to tinker with things to make it your own.

[@bobharveythercanddiyguy22]

I know this is a little bit older video but my trx4 kit will be here this tuesday and im SUPER psyched to get it, I've had lots of the go fast and fly hi RC adventures and love to race! I got an axial SCX 24 and the darn thing got me hooked, so of course i had to get a big one! Your videos have been a huge help to see what is available for it now i just need to get goin!!! Thanks again!

[@chriswade3986]

I bought my trx 4 and bought every upgrade I could find . Rock on

[@thomasgross8289]

I have had a trx4 sport for about 8 months and the only thing that I have done to it is lowered the body, changed the servo and put a set of duretrex deep woods tires on it and added a little custom paint to the stock body and it's almost boring it's so capable!

[@5RRacing]

Yes, they should because am sort of building my TRX four and I did not know for the rock lights that you need fender, flares, or fenders😂😅

[@meadowlarkgal25]

Ah, a gal can dream about the perfect RC rig. Love the fresh look! 💕

[@blindj]

Great video as always. I love my trx4. Great truck already with tons of aftermarket support for performance and visuals.

[@ztwntyn8]

Rock lights, I wondered what went there. Looks like a cool build. I like my defender a lot.

[@tomandrews5392]

TRX 4 is a great build and tuff .....out of the box they are great add batterys and go for it....

[@phookit2]

Well said. Great intro. I always enjoy your videos and remember opinions are like assholes, we all have one.

[@MrTmiket0007]

Awesome video series, thanks 🙂👍

[@alexcalhoun2672]

Incredible advancements in these cars, it is just amazing. Great video as always. Would you maybe consider doing a video with the TRX 4 Sport custom build and the Rustler 4x4 VXL custom build in the same video, side by side. That would be great!

[@FalconWing1813]

Great work and really enjoy watching your videos. Could you do one on installing the second gear in the TRX Sorts transmission? thanks!

[@Tat2_eso]

So getting this truck!!!!!

[@jdsrcs8061]

I got my sport 2 weeks ago and is a blast!!!

[@krod0877]

Amazing build

[@Flying90]

This is awesome! Can’t wait to see the next video

[@sylvainster30]

Awesome build !! Hopefully i can build 1 similar someday! ✌🏼😎👍🏼 Have a great day Greg! 🙌

[@michaeledmonds3027]

Great instructive video, very professional. Question please: Have you considered the Traxxas 8081 inner fender extension kit? It's supposed to fill in the fender well with rubber extension pieces to keep debris out. I'd love to see if you think the 8081 kit is worth while. Thanks, Michael

[@norcalrider69]

Lol bro i love the beat in the background 😂

[@hanskristianknudsen9485]

Hi now that you are doing this big uppgrade, i wonder if you could add the extension to the inner fenders the part nr is 8081, hade a look and cant see anything about how you get them on. When i look at the inner fenders it dosent look like ther is any holes to screw the extension in to.

[@jakedavid8187]

With the stainless steel screw kit did it come with every screw including the transmission and axle stuff? The description only says "screw kit for chassis" thanks

[@manchu9inf]

need to put the Kyosho Camero body on this truck!

[@drewsin86]

this might be the crawler i get. just wish trassax did purple upgrade stuff. can't wait to get out of this money hole im in and then ima get a 1/10 crawler and maybe an scx24.

[@shottonfb]

Well I’ll be dog gone Some one honest on the tube.... In which I mean not needing all the Traxxas parts on a already great truck.but just showing us what’s available well done sir. I have a few crawlers but want to make this one special and make it my own so I’m modding the hell out of her it’s my money so I’ll spend it how I like. I’m buying the mud guard fender kit and the light kit ? What colour lights are you putting on yours ? Not sure about swopping out all the screws I’m not in water all the time so may buy a box and swap out as required Thanks for this series Great 👍

[@Void_Cool_Guy]

Finally here!!!!

[@roddas26]

This is a very good advert for all the aftermarket Traxxas stuff. I have just ordered 1, well 3 but let's not get into it.

[@carlosacosta2812]

I can’t get my trx4 45kg upgrade servo to be straight. When I turn the wheels they stay turned and don’t line up. And when ever I put my foot beside the wheels and tried to turn the wheels but they didn’t move, but once I picked it up the wheels moved and then when I put the truck back down they don’t move, the servo makes the noise as if it’s turning but doesn’t. And then the wheels are just side to side and not lined up. Do you know how to fix that?

[@ZacharyHorsley]

Where did you buy yours parts at

[@ansgarjohnsrud7572]

Which fender is it the 8080 model

[@douglaselliott8298]

If you don't need 'waterproof' there are massively powerful(400+ Oz), name brand servos that don't necessarily require a BEC that can be found at quantifiable savings over similarly powerful "waterproof" rated servos. And consciously NOT playing U-boat commander with an electric RC truck also saves one the concern, cost, and trouble of installing the stainless steel hardware upgrade. I also found that Mobil-1 synthetic 75/90wt gear oil works fantastic as both shock oil and differential oil if your RC has "differentials". And since it costs less than $10.00 a quart from the auto parts store your supply should last many years.

[@travismorse2104]

Playing submarine commander is half the fun!! Waterproofing is the best way to go!

[@douglaselliott8298]

@@travismorse2104 Then, by all means, run YOUR RC in as much water/mud as you wish. Mine, however, will stay dry, clean, require far less maintenance, and many electronic replacement parts will be found quantifiably cheaper.

[@logancosandier3958]

Have commented in a while. Are you running the stock body on it? Great video, can't wait for the next one of the series

[@rcdriver]

RCLogan I’m using the clear version of the stock body painted tan. You can see it in the intro video. Link to the intro video is in the description.

[@tgjaedan]

Really considering getting into this hobby. I've been watching vids and looking around a bit. Would you recommend someone new jumping in with something like a TRX4 or 1/10 scale or start out and see what it is like with something like the SCX24? I'm a 1/1 scale Jeeper too so I'm curious if there are aftermarket body kits for things like the TRX4 to change the body kits all together?

[@thomasgross8289]

Go 1/10 to start the 1/24 are cool and rapidly advancing but dont compare to the 1/10s in general overall performance. The 1/10s can go perty much anywhere even perty fun urban crawling. If you want a dependable highly capable rig with great support go with the trx4 sport hands down for the money the best rtr out.

[@YechielAppelbaum]

Can you put a winch on this

[@Void_Cool_Guy]

Does anyone know what the traxxas LED connectors are called? I would like to buy some to put on after market LED’s and connect to thr traxxas powersupply.

[@A_Man_In_His_Van]

Molex. Look on mouser.com, or McMaster Carr.

[@ronniecreason7870]

What do you like better Traxxas or arrma

[@MrRickTic]

I can buy all this stuff at Half what everyone else can and i don't think i would still waist it on Traxxas parts.

[@rcdriver]

The great part about RC is there are a ton of choices out there for every person’s individual needs.

[@MrRickTic]

RCDriver_Online The reason I say that is that they tend to overprice their parts. Plus I work for a Traxxas dealer that’s why I get parts cheap. At half it’s closer but a lot of their stuff is still to high. It is the best fit tho.

[@evoone3039]

you forgot the rubber piece for the inner fender

[@1elaijah]

Agreed! The servo is an embarrassment!!!!! Everything else is opinion !
