If you use your truck for more trail driving. Here is an easy mod to do. Open the receiver box and swap the front and rear diff locker positions. Now for this to work, you have to have the Bluetooth add-on for the remote. You have to go into setting and swap the directions the diff servos run. Now the rear diff will lock first, and the front will lock second. So now the truck can still turn sharp because the front axle is not locked, but the truck will have the extra gripe it needs with the rear diff locked.

Great tip!!!

[@1500chessie]

You are lucky to have already one. We here in Germany have to wait at least two month for its arrival. But for sure i will use the ranger tires. Looks awesome

[@alankowalski8781]

I dig it. You probably already know this, is they do make body lids for that thing? Should eliminate the rubbing for you.

[@RattrapRC]

Awesome!!

[@orangecrate5895]

Great look. USA-1, Bigfoot, Bearfoot, King Kong (wider version) and others received 'monster' recognition with the 48" terra.

[@user-or3dn2io9l]

You need to put the chrome roll bar in the bed

[@jaybarber68]

I bought a set. They’re actually too tall to be 48”, more like 55”on a 1/10 scale truck. I put them on with the longest spacers (I got the red Chevy) and it’s tough to tip over😊

[@jgrc73]

Locking diffs are not a gimmick, i unlock them all the time on approaches. Great tip by Jack S. I am doing this asap. Cool looking rig! Thinking about 145mm tires with 10mm neg offset on my built up and widened HT. Welcome thoughts on making this work, I crawl a lot on 1:1 crawler trails. Looking to achieve higher approach tire height and more GC.

Leaf spring kit conversion kit and be awesome retro platform

[@TriggerKingRC]

Would LOVE a leaf conversion pack! The portal axles are a nice stand in for planetaries

[@jeffmackovitch9987]

Can you say Ford High trail Trx4? I’m so doing this!

[@TriggerKingRC]

it's going to look great with these tires and wheels!

[@jaybarber68]

Bigfoot 1, USA-1, Bearfoot, and High Roller all used to wear 48s. Everyone switched to 66s after Bigfoot 1 and USA-1 raced on TV! This is exactly what I was looking for; 48” monster tires! A set of these would look perfect on our Red Chevy High Trail.

[@jaybarber68]

Yeah! The Ford Highboy High Trail Edition!

[@wallythacker7772]

I want to build a scale mt, can you make the track wider? I had a set of these wheels and tires on an mt build I did with a slash 4x4 and want to do a hybrid of the two. A solid axle, brushless mt to bash.

[@RCJesus420]

That thing looks great! I'm always happy to help whenever you need something bud; we sell a lot of stuff at Remote Control Hobbies - Orlando to a lot of KZbinrs doing fun and different projects. That truck totally reminds me of being a kid and teenager. lol Super cool you got to drive on the crushed cars! That looks like it must've been a really fun event, for sure.

[@TriggerKingRC]

Thanks again! Great doing business with you!

[@RCJesus420]

@@TriggerKingRC Aleays a pleasure my man.

[@marcosmunoz9910]

Put a slash motor on it

[@Cbam871]

I actually was debating on proline boggers or these for mine. It's a really nice truck

[@TriggerKingRC]

If you wanted to go with a big mud truck style the boggers would probably look and work pretty well. One of our guys a lifted scx10 that rolled around with 2.2 boggers and it was a sweet truck!

[@Cbam871]

@@TriggerKingRC that sounds sweet! Yeah I might actually go with the boggers since they are bigger then rc4wd

[@DoubleADay]

I already had a set of 1.9 boggers and they look and drive great on the Trx4 High Trail K10

[@jaybarber68]

When I saw this, I couldn’t believe it! I love the old 48s, as a result, High Roller is one of my favorites! Also, I went to Amazon and ordered a set, and subscribed to your channel, cause I can tell you love them too!

[@dicktrickle4197]

Let’s make a standard, an all American RC company . Manufactured and assembled in USA 🇺🇸

[@jaybarber68]

Are you sure? It’s possible. 1. Same truck as this cost $2500. 2. We all get paid $5/hr.
