I relate fully. Steering servo will need replaced for sure at some point from failure. I’ve gotten by on the torque they make with driving style. My defender no longer has bumpers lol they def are in the way and I’ve got plastic beadlocks with lead weights. Still stock motor and has been submerged several times and ran many hours same as my son’s tactical. We are happy with performance in torque crawling and speed in hi gear especially with 3s but I’m fine with 2s unlike a slash or Losi Baja Rey etc

My trx4 is so good right now for crawling. stripped down it completly, all the plastic stuff and mini servos for diffs is gone. I centered the rest receiver and esc(hobbywing 1080) on the ram close to the motor, took out the receiver from the plastic box and covered it with a ballon and zipes. Got a few small 800 mah batterys and put in front between Servo(srt 35kg ) and plastic front thing. Bumpers is also gone ofc. Got heavy rims 140 grams with a modified brass Pieces around THE steering knuckle + extra weights around that 150 grams each Side. Also some weights around the differential with zip tied and glue. Body is the team c samurai only 80 grams. This is a very cheep way to get a Good crawler it beats some really expensive rigs om competion.

Good call on the bumper removal! I did the same thing and climbing improved so much more! I replaced my tires and replaced them with aluminum rims and tires. Does so much better. I didn't want to add too much weight to it. I was able to increase my climbing angle by almost 8° increase. I can climb better straight up, but coming down its more likely to roll when I push that higher degree. Still does the best when you just remove the top cover and can pull just over a 60° angle! Can't beat that with a stick! Have you thought about putting on a lighter shell on either of your TRX4's? Good Video Sir!

Point Blank: ADD BRASS Portals!!! More than anything else, they will improve low speed traction, control, and handling. They're NOT cheap, but for the price vs. return break, they're worth their weight in gold. I bought a plow attachment for my Defender, and with the brass in front, I surrender the rear diff to gain the plow lift servo, and I can clear up to 1.5" of snow from my front walk in less than 30 minutes without leaving my (covered) porch!

There were no problems when running straights then i tried to crawl it on something high, the motor overheated and smoke coming out from the motor.

Great tips thankyou. But the edits to your clip made it look like you forgot what you were talking about or changed your mind on what you were talking about. But yes it's some great advice and correct. I was just about to buy a Traxxas F150 Foord TRX 4 high lift but now I'm thinking about saving my money. Here in Australia that F150 high lift costs $1100.00 AU. And then it's going to need all these upgrades? Yeh well now I don't think I want it anymore.great looking body and a capable performer ,the mechanics and chassis are excellent but let down by being fitted with parts straight from the factory which need to be upgraded. A steering servo is pretty easy and so is upgrading a motor and ESC but when my local shop does not have the stock this leaves me unable to use my truck. Maybe I'm approaching this from the wrong perspective then and I need to make this truck a project and a work in progress to be built and modified and customised but not left stock standard ? It's probably going to owe me around $2000.00 AU by time I get it right and that will still be with the plastic portals not brass.traxxas has got a bad reputation for warranty also in australia.maybe due to Traxxas Australia distribution supplier?

You don't actually need an external BEC. I've been running Hitec HS-7955TG high-torque servos on the internal BECs built into my ESCs for 6 years and they all work fine. You won't find a servo that can handle 10 amps of current (or a steering system that can handle the force generated by a 10-amp servo) anyway. I'm sure Castle's 10-amp external BECs can handle the power they're rated for, but they're still just as unnecessary as 1000-watt subwoofer amplifiers or oxygen-free copper cable in your car stereo. ALL COPPER CABLE IS OXYGEN-FREE, OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE RUSTY! But I digress...

I bet your you're not worried anymore, the Trx4 is a top of the line crawler.

Another problem is the clicking sound in the transmission
@Hiergibtesnixzusehen3 жыл бұрын
Clicking sound is coming from this little pins, which holding the gearwheels in your transmission, they moving while driving and thats your clicking sound. Just put a little bit silicone oil (90.000 cps) on this pins, and it won't click anymore 😉

I don't get why Traxxas decided to make these with ultra-realistic "stockish" looking bodies and rims (like the Blazer and Bronco for example), and then put portal style axles and everything under it. I know they obviously have better ground clearance, but it's just too unrealistic, imho...

Might want to finish the stuff that your talking about before you have the links pop up there bud. You were talking about the phone app & what not, but you couldn't see what you were showing because the links were in the way. Otherwise good job, & good video.

Will we need a BEC for the Traxxas 330 servo??
@RCReviewChannel5 жыл бұрын
It will work fine on stock ESC. But to get its full power, you'll need a BEC.

I'd buy one Just because they're COOL AF! Not for Crawling! Get a SUMMIT if You want a Crawler. You Won't be Disappointed.

The whole point of getting a Traxxas is it comes with all the handicaps man.
