Good lord that's a lot of parts. I had to look all the parts up and the cost . ( traxxas prices ) All parts plus the rtr sport vehicle. That's $1069.47 in parts and $359.99 trx-4 sport for a total of $1429.46!! Yes I was BORD !!! 😁😁😁

Yes what a timely video series for me. I just finished my Sport Kit and had a couple of trail runs, rock crawls on it and I LOVE IT. Now I know why there are hardcore fans of this TRX4 platform. In its stock, assembled form I honestly think it climbs, side hills very well even with the rear cage installed. I look forward to the next videos on this. It will help me decide on which parts (both Traxxas and aftermarket brands) to get. In fact, I was so happy with my build that I already ordered another Sport body as an alternate, with the expedition rack and basic light bucket grills. Awesome Greg! I can’t wait. ☺️

You are missing narrow fender kit with rubber fender extensions. Helps with mud and dirt plus it gives you forward mount options and multiple shock options. You also can add rear underdrive for like 23% overdrive total! I would add the 2spd kit for bashing capability and upgrade to brushless. Maybe 550 3300 axe.

I'm looking forward to this build series. I've got the TRX4 Bronco and it's pretty well dialed in as far as I'm concerned ATM. Maybe in the distant future I might put on aluminum axles or the lift kit, etc,etc. Right now it has aftermarket aluminum beadlocks, tires, servo, light kit, spare tire carrier, bumpers, winch, and Proline shocks. Had a roof rack on it but was too heavy and I removed it. My neices have Sports and they seem to like them. One neice is 8, the other 11. I already purchased them a pair of aluminum servo horns to be ready when theirs go out. Not sure on which servos I want to get them yet, cause that will be next. I'm sure I'll get them the same servo my brother has in his, it's working well. The servo I run in mine is a lot more expensive and I'm sure they won't need one like I run. Other than the mods I listed on mine, I've got the Traxxas Traxx which I've yet to run on it. No other mods that I can think of. I'm content on how it is right now but I do intend on putting the Hobbywing Axe system in it when the current motor and/or ESC dies.

Those complaining that he gets the Traxxas upgrades for free....here's what you do; Buy thousands in video equipment. Find what people want to see. Film thousands of hours of footage. Spend countless hours editing. Go to hundreds of events. Compete constantly and win some. Spend thousands of your own money building cool rc's. Get your KZbin numbers up. Stay motivated. Make hundreds of calls for sponsorships. Be nice. It's ALOT of work. I know alot guys that are sponsored....they put in alot of work...alot of that takes them away from their families and you really don't make alot of money. And sponsorship doesn’t always mean free stuff , sometimes...most times it's just a huge discound. At the end of the day if the company sees that your not productive...they dump you.

Traxxas is doing some cool stuff. Question...why overdrive the front? Higher gearing means possible torque-twist. Why not underdrive the rear?
@rcdriver
@rcdriver 5 жыл бұрын
Tom Lucas After briefly skimming over some TRX4 discussions, it seemed overdriving the front was the way to go and torque-twist was minimal. Probably should have picked up the underdrive set as well. I’ve never tried either on a TRX-4 myself and looking forward to see how it drives. Perhaps the different gear set offerings and combos would be a good stand-alone test video.
