Traxxas TRX-4 Ultimate Modification - Workshop Time

[@KevinTalbotTV]

Yo! Thank for all the input guys, I see a lot of you saying to set the endpoints in the tqi app. You cant. Shift servo and diff lock servos are set to 100% you cant change it. You can only adjust endpoints on channel 1 amd 2 so steering and throttle. BUT I have a solution and will be in a video soon :)

[@killingtimeitself]

any general purpose preferably waterproof grease works for gears as long as it stays on your gears now inside of a sealed diff you use diff oil if it isn't sealed then use grease

[@shaneclipse97]

hey kev fyi they make a narrow fender kit for the trx4 that not only gives you fenders for the chassis but you get a front battery tray built into the fenders so you can put ur battery up front over the front tires and a lil lower or no higher at worst than the current one but like i said u get the weight in the front over front tires meaning loads more crawling ability!

I discovered this channel 4 years ago . And on a rainy cold day here in Alabama , I’ve revisited some of the first vids I watched . Reminds me of a great time in my life . I’ve learned so much about R/C from you Kevin . I really like your style . Extremely entertaining!

[@lukegraham1628]

It takes a great KZbinr to make such a great video that u wait until 12 at night to watch it! So happy I subscribed and put on post notifications!

THanks buddy means a lot :)

In response to your perfectionist note at the end: I'm a perfectionist. What most people don't realize, is that perfectionism is an affliction. It's not like a Nobel pursuit or anything. It's a condition where everything you do isn't done good enough, and you constantly see flaws. Having good workmanship is one thing, perfectionism is another. It makes it very hard to get projects completed or even started, because there will be flaws that will make it not come out perfect, so progress is stifled.

[@NordicRC]

You show good endurance and happy spirit when working. Thumbs up. I love tea ;-)

[@paultro8457]

I always look forward to shop time!!! 👍👍

[@KevinTalbotTV]

Got a few shop times coming up very soon :)

[@STEVOD313]

Get her all fixed up new servo is nice! Should work like a champ now, ready for more bashing brotha!

[@mikeburgessrc5360]

Need to get the fiber wheels for the Dremel. Lol. There are a few companies & people making low center of gravity battery trays for the trx4. Bow house RC makes one or you can get an Axial or Vaterra battery tray. 👍😁

[@lukegraham1628]

Loving the videos both the bashing and the workshop, keep it up!!!

[@richardfazio2417]

Kev use a oring from a bad shock n when u see it start to squish stop tightening,no more jambed servo

[@manikjain6338]

Love your videos Mr. Talbot ❤️❤️❤️

[@rowan2128]

That’s a good idea to lower the center of gravity on a rock crawler. Great vid kev

[@helir00]

Kev - you should try some lead weight blocks on the opposite side of the battery tray - might be the best way to balance out the chassis. And also use a bit of fibreglass for a top try to retain the rigidity. RC Roo

[@rcfreak4192]

Hello kev you can adjust the servo endpoints with the traxxas radio at the traxxas page they have a guide how to do that Go to the traxxas page.. 1. Choose your model (trx 4) 2. Scroll down to "Support" 3. Download the manual 4. on pag 36 you will find it Ps. Love your videos 👍

[@KevinTalbotTV]

thanks dud but you cant set endpoints on shift and difflock servos :(

[@tristenarnold8474]

Your a great guy love the bashing vids not really the working ones

[@jujus04lightning]

Kevin Talbot look into a Bowhouse LCG battery tray, great upgrade.

[@KevinTalbotTV]

mine has a way lower cg :)

[@1eo703]

Hi Kevin I like to see you working your magic on these rc trucks good vid

[@PropTM]

always love he TRX4 Vids

[@wadegravitt2379]

Same

[@z06jakee]

Sup kev trying out my own eBay store...also took a look at your eBay course just keep up the good work

[@KevinTalbotTV]

good luck buddy

[@z06jakee]

Thanks kev

[@ethanutter7971]

If you want to adjust the travel you must screw or unscrew the ball cup in the cable or move the servo saver on the spline If you move it forward far enough when it goes to shift it will go through all the spring and the start to pull the cable

[@johnabelljr1997]

Great video, as usual. They make a replacement battery box that goes into the factory location. Now your weight I lop sided

[@willrocks3504]

Check the Arrma Talion they are claiming 70mph out of the box. I have seen a few vids of them they look fast and glide on launches. But I have not seen anyone do any stunts. I would love to see you mod it and bash the living hell out of it. Because truggies are awesome.

[@germanrcbashing245]

The tqi has servo endpoints if you use the link modul ‼️😉

[@michaellamotte6449]

Very good workshop fix kev

[@taylorharrelson2281]

you could put a battery on the back and use a rustler reciver box to move all the other electronics inside more interior weight wont let it tip as much

[@robertbolin853]

Great video, greetings from the land of no rc interest😅 ( sweden)

[@TheMrhick92]

To stiffin the chassis you could use m3 allthread and some brake line to make some crossmembers

[@grimrock0918]

I was your 100 like and I love your vids your the beast Kevin

[@bradleyanderson3624]

You can set end points though the traxxas link app you just have to find what channel the end points are

[@julionb87]

Get the low-cg battery tray from BowHouse RC.

[@KevinTalbotTV]

this has a much lower cg

[@ARR5ifty]

Kev look up BPC products they make front chassis battery mounts and a few other upgrades for the trx4

[@jhendren0001]

Great custom work goodjob I like it u cant go wrong when it works lol.... you should test your new lower center of gravity battery mod... awesome video

[@kreizmann2943]

Great video as always

[@garlicbreadbeans]

you need a traxxas nitro slash. soo fun

[@dootslayer1402]

Hey keV, I think your diff lock and range shifter cables may be slightly sticky, or even seized. Wd-40 does good, of there are specific cable lubes

[@owensawatzky1199]

Hey kev, I have an idea I think is pretty cool. I was thinking us fans can send you clips of us crashing our rc vehicles or just cool rc clips in general and you could turn it into a video like a montage of fails I think that would be awesome! Does anyone else want to see this?

[@KevinTalbotTV]

I did think about doing this and give a prize to the winner but it could lead to copyright strikes if someone send me a video which is not theirs so not worth the risk buddy

[@owensawatzky1199]

Kevin Talbot yeah I understand a lawsuit wouldn't be fun lol

[@ethanutter7971]

I think there's some thing around that but I would definitely submit some clips

[@maxxdavidson7795]

with that indent in the battery tray mini traxxas lipos fit perfectly in their so you can lower your weight

[@LaurentianRCStudios]

nice!you should have way more steering torque now!ready for more bashin'!!!

[@leytonkinlan1405]

Great video Kev 👍🏻

[@Bruce_Warren]

Nice Shirt Kev, Smashing video mate!

[@devon8419]

What's the part number for the stock servos? 2080? If do I would recommend the Savox 0250mg, I have it in my 1/16 4x4 and I love it

[@mikeman230]

The worst thing about brake clean is NEVER clean surfaces you plan to weld. Some formulas creat phosphine nerve gas when burned

[@ka4172]

Nice tuning tricks!

[@A_Man_In_His_Van]

Axial chassis flex is ok/desired in scale crawlers, but the way you drive, its probably best that you tightened​ it up. Otherwise i can see it turning into a pretzel.

[@667Gurba]

Maybe it has been mentioned before but Traxxas should replace the servos for locks and gear shift with actuators.

[@jasonsrcstuff9278]

Hey Kev. Have you seen the Bowhouse RC LCG battery tray? It’s what I use and I love it!!

[@pretziboy4162]

What's the purpose of the extra servos in it again besides the steering?

[@joecarini7863]

Just run a smaller MAH battery and get some rock rails and mount it with a Velcro strap! I have also seen people run a 2200mah 3 cell in the front of the truck

[@KevinTalbotTV]

that only makes the cg higher

[@goldsoundz5393]

Just get an Ascender! It's the best trail truck out there IMHO.

[@sergioguzman9690]

Do you prefer the tx90 connectors then the traxxas connectors.

[@mr.chaos3973]

You should just lock up the diffs with 2m weight oil, it's a crawler after all, you would make the car lighter and less complex

[@arcterus01]

Bowhouse RC makes a low CG battery tray that fits in the stock location.

[@KevinTalbotTV]

na man my cg is way lower

[@arcterus01]

Not by much, I have it on my rig, and it will maintain the chassis strength you were concerned about.

[@m.g.v.]

I don't know if it is is possible to do but can you put another battery case on the other side and but a 1cel lipo on both sides to even out the weight ?

[@KevinTalbotTV]

you could but its is almost balanced as it is :)

[@m.g.v.]

Kevin Talbot oh ok and btw if the battery tray is a bit to big you can try to use a shorty pack and shorten the battery holder or buy a smaller one.

[@whiphore]

We run our electric touring cars much the same as kevs setup except our motor is also on the side of the esc and weight distribution is perfect this looks good to me

[@southcoastsledders866]

Awesome love your vids favourite KZbinr you should try a stampede 4x4 vxl

hey kev! does that trx4 wheelbase been shortened? what wheelbase is that?

You can set end points with a Traxxas transmitter

[@kirbygaming7010]

Could we go out with the rc car in the Easter holiday please that's my bucket list that would be a miracle

[@artistman75]

Can the Traxxas link Bluetooth help with setting endpoints?

[@simonyoung6120]

Why not loose the micro servo's, difflockers. fit single speed conversion in main gearbox. mount the ESC and RX in the middle. that way you could run dual lipo's one either side and enjoy 8S

[@callumdavies7403]

Such a great vid

[@jasonbarrow9430]

On my RC car after 1 battery the motor is pretty hot do you think if i run one battery after another will the motor over heat and break?

if its too hot to touch its too hot to run

Kevin Talbot so i was hoping you could tell me if i could make my 1/10 drift car into a truck, im curious as hell

Try going a couple teeth down on the pinion, that'll lower temps, could also try a motor fan.

Love the cars

[@christianatkinson9015]

hey KEV, when are you going to get yourself a Redcat Gen7?

[@drog343]

If you're going to run 2 battery trays anyways, then why not use the one up top as a plate to hold your receiver box, etc., that isn't much weight, and next time maybe you could try dry graphite lubricant in the cables.

[@TheCardinal365]

Is that why the original traxxas servos burn out because they are always under strain or load maybe?

[@zeekmx1970]

Mr. Talbot, Human is a Celtic word and Hu was their God. I'm not going to allow you the, "I'm only human." excuse for that reason. I agree that you could be at least a mammal. Mammals are mortals thus imperfect and so I forgive you for imperfection. It is through our imperfections that we learn to appreciate divine perfection. Talbot Coin just went up in value.

[@wesleydehaas5998]

Kevin why dont you make more bulldog bodys for your rustler with a vacuum form. ther are a lot of vids on how to make your own bodys

[@chris929rr7]

Still prefer the SCX10 over TRX4 although ive never driven a TRX4 they are all pretty evenly matched at certain price points.

[@joellofquist2537]

You should Mount two battery trays one on each side

[@anthorc3035]

It doesn't have to be perfect but should as well put 2 battery trays on each side... and run dual 2s so the truck is balanced! Yes! Add one more battery tray on the other side and Run dual 2S Truck will be really LCG and Balanced
