Affordable Telemetry for IQ points. / 4. Sound for audio feed back of performance. I control the breaking in the App. Steering servo range is set. Using the 5,000mA batt for a short time will extend its life a bit especially if you have the electronic upgrades.

One thing to mention going to softer springs droop setup you are more likely to experience shock stiction making the truck lean on way or the other at rest. There are a few videos that explain the DIY mods to eliminate/reduce stiction of stock shocks that are once again free mods. Great video as always RC Review!

Tip: if crawling in cold temperatures (below 5 Celsius) you might want to get larger capacity batteries due to you needing more wheel spin sometimes when stuck in snow. My experience with a 1300mah 3s battery lasts about 20-30 mins and in warmer temps it lasts about 40-80mins

I just got the Traxxas Bronco and I've been enjoying your videos! Thank you for taking the time to make them. I changed out the shock oil to 10W, what shocks do you recommend to get? Please tell me the brand and the spring rate. Thanks for any help! P.S. I had a really hard time changing out the shock oil and getting it to rebound properly etc. Could you please make a video showing how you change the oil in these exact Traxxas shocks? Almost all of the videos I found are made with shocks that have a bladder at the top that these don't have. Thanks again!
@RCReviewChannel

Right on. Since the piston hole is so small on Traxxas, we recommend shock oil of 10wt. Don't fill it too much as it will lock up. Stop about 2mm below the top.

Even in a situation of pure crawling, there is room to use unlock diff, when you need better and more accurate steering! The turning radius with open diff is smaller. Also to attack obstacles in a scale way, obstacles realistic with this kind of vehicule, it is a greater challenge and fun to try it first open diff, and after with lock diff! Also for the 2 speed transmissions, in some case you need some faster momentum to pass an obstacle, and the 2nd gear comes in handy then!

unlocking the diffs during crawling just makes things more difficult I'm finding. It's more of an interesting challenge but it has no benefit whatsover. I'm finding now that the 'tighter steering radius with unlocked diffs' doesn't really help. At crawl speeds, it makes almost no difference. Ath higher speeds, over 1 mph, it makes a difference.

Luke AtThat yeah, I agree. In my garage (moved some rocks in bc it’s cold) there are instances where I tried locked and unlocked and only make it with rear unlocked. Then there is my son who uses 2nd gear and jumps the logs we can’t cross trailing. In his tactical he tries 1st a few times and then 2nd gear and he crosses logs and obstructions that my wraith won’t bc of wheel speed and then I got a defender for me and I love it. Part of the fun is the high cg and watching it lug around the spare.

Yo I have most of this but I didn’t know specifically oil weight or how far to go and the moving of the sliders. That held me back bad yesterday in a few places. FWIW in 1st gear my stock geared defenders slightly pulled away from a stock scx 10 unimog. It is a low 1st gear none the less and I didn’t pull away much. That rig gave me a run for my money with a less experienced driver than I. K realized the difference in his short and my long wheelbase also. Weight is so different also that even my trx4 bronco doesn’t act like the scx10. So different but so comparable.

Delete, delete, delete..... I can understand what you are saying, but that is only applicable if you want something capable regardless of looks. For me biggest appeal to RC Crawling is that it should still look like something you will find on the road/off road on a track. Removing everything and putting a simple lexan body on is not considered an upgrade. If you want something capable just buy a comp crawler, if you want a trail truck it should at least still look like a truck.

It all depends on what you want to do with it and ultimately whatever puts the biggest smile on your face is what you should get.

Should this video not have a title called ‘free crawling mods’ , I bought my TRX4 mainly for trailing the forests and not rock crawling. I understand that these mods will optimize crawling performance but most of your suggestions like adjusting the bumper position or installing sagging shocks will alter the scale look of the vehicle. Deleting the servos that offer you options of high/low gear , selective diff locking etc are what make the TRX4 stand out from 90% of the crawlers out there, When I want to crawl I use my old axial , the beauty of the TRX4 is for scale crawling and realism in mini format.

Good point. Changing the springs and shock oil is key for trail running as well. The stock setup hardly actuates and the vehicle bounces around. Also, anything done to lower the CG will improve performance on the trail too. Any free mods you would suggest for running the TRX4 on the trail?

Why do you start with talking about deleting unwanted weight from it and then later u talk about adding weight!?
@RCReviewChannel
@RCReviewChannel 6 жыл бұрын
That's a good point. We delete weight from the top and add it to the axles or wheels to lower the center of gravity. Lowering the CG is the key to performance. Also, we deleted unwanted stuff if they are rarely used since they have been known to fail. (like diff servos)
@buckwrabbit9276
@buckwrabbit9276 5 жыл бұрын
Well boyzzz it’s simple Physics based on Center of Gravity.... Get rid of weight that’s higher on chassis. Add weight to low points to Lower the Center of gravity. Also, adding weight on the axles and wheels gives you traction and ballast.

@@RCReviewChannel it's been extremely rewarding. I have 3 little boys and they all LOVE RC cars. Im a newly single dad and work two jobs. I'm usually exhausted at the end of the day but this has given me a second wind and it gets us all outside together. When I brought home the Bronco my oldest son was SO excited that he was bouncing around non-stop and I'm pretty sure he didn't sleep last night. It is absolutely worth every penny to see them so happy and have quality time together in the great outdoors.

Deleting the open diffs? somebody does not know crawling… Why do you think the first setting on the diff locking is FRONT LOCK/REAR OPEN???? This is to give a smaller turning radius on technical courses. You could get away with locking the front diff only but keep the rear selectable.
@RCReviewChannel
@RCReviewChannel 5 жыл бұрын
Turning radius is already tighter than anything in existence. At crawl speed, unlocking the diffs does very little for turning radius. It is more of an annoyance or a distraction. Here is a video with both diffs locked. Check the turning radius. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWTYm56gptV7aMk
