I have an orange one 3d printed like yours thats broken to pieces in my trx4 blazer. That kind of 3d printed plastic is way to brittle in my opinion.. Thanks for sharing.

[@seanclarke4061]

Great test mate. Loved the direct comparison. i like all videos that are great tests! thank you for this. Helped with my TRX-4 defender decision

[@jaypearce6199]

Hi Sean, thanks for the comment my friend! Glad to be of some help 😎

[@joyrc1007]

I’ll try too. Nice perfomance TRX4 !!

[@voyager1145]

Traxxas trx4 1979👍😎

[@LuisLPRCs]

Cool Vid! Crawling in the house lol!

[@wereallydontknowwhatweredo5038]

That was a great test! Great job on the new tray. Any improvement is always a better. I think anyway😉

[@jaypearce6199]

Thankyou dude!

[@AMT99100]

I see Klipsch good knowing someone else has good taste in speakers. Subbed

[@jaypearce6199]

Haha, well spotted my man! Nice to hear some appreciation for them.. i have upgraded since this vid

[@thereasonableamericans411]

Noted that too! I've got my klipshorn still. I'll never replace them, recently upgraded them after 20 yrs. Mark Levinson Amps running em.

[@ColoradoStreaming]

Lol I noticed that as well. It looks like the Reference Premier series based on the horn. What did you upgrade to? I have KG 5.5s with Ti tweeters in my family room and LaScalas with the Crites Crossover and tweeters in my basement.

[@tuonelarc9107]

Nice test mate!

[@TSully2013]

Excellent video sir We just use the brass portal weights as well, works phenominal

[@jaypearce6199]

Thankyou my friend, my rig has changed immensely now haha..

[@rickdarris2294]

Great test and Simpsons.

[@nmrc7778]

Thanks for a true and honest review

[@kirkleaman6863]

Stock tray works fine

[@TSully2013]

Agreed

[@offscalerc24]

no. his problem was metal roof racks and soft foams, so the low cg effect got lost. After installing it (and harder tire foams probably), the sideways is much better.

[@TruSwagTv2]

Great comparison video brother I SUBSCRIBED

[@jaypearce6199]

Thankyou brother, i try my best.. 🙏

[@STEVOD313]

I’ve got the same bow house type lcg battery tray a friend 3D printed up for me, since I haven’t ran my trx4 yet I actually put back the stock tray in so I can see the difference in performance

[@jaypearce6199]

It's a great idea.. there is a certain section where we bash that im aiming to be able to climb, ive not made it all the way up unassisted yet! Thats my goal lol

[@kevslife]

Interesting.. 👍

[@rcpatapouf]

Nice bro ! Love your vids

[@jaypearce6199]

Thanks buddy..

[@BLACKBOX1004]

I like scale cars. I have a subscription and I will come to watch videos often My friend ^^👍

[@jaypearce6199]

Thanks my friend, every subscription is greatly appreciated, i hope to uplaod more in the new year..

[@BLACKBOX1004]

It's going to go up. Don't worry, buddy. A good video is a video clip that allows good people to come. It's the driving force.^^

[@zeekmx1970]

I could tell by your scuffed up bronco body that you were a man of distinction, A real big spender. You and I both know that roof rack is a sin. You have the red body and you know that's a mistake. Hurry if you need the black body kit with all the paint job stickers, Only 1 listed on Amazon right now.

[@BUILTLIGHTWOUNDTIGHT]

AWESOMENESS!!! ;)

[@jaypearce6199]

Thanks bro 😎

[@seanenduro5940]

Hi I noticed you have the magnetic body mounts, is there a video to how you did that and what parts you used please?

[@hondafreak8613]

Could put some wheel weights for cars and put a couple 1/4 oz pieces under the front bumper. Sure that would help

[@nickmoore4367]

Pro tip. Move the servo up to the front of the truck with the servo relocation and 2200-2500 mah drone packs truck in there perfect. You get weight over the front and shed overall weight off the truck( which traxxas needs) watch those rear foams too. If you stiffen those up you’ll get a lot less roll back.

[@tocacarcraze]

For one you should install the lcg properly , the front has to be flushed with transmission and bolting it down helps ...if installed right it places the battery low between the frame ...try the new molded version , also try it in real environment cos its a night and day difference on how the truck drives . Better in every way possible and definitely worth then 25$ online .

[@ypsebastian]

Wouldn't it affect the flex as back suspension comes up towards the tray?

[@TANGO-x-DOWN]

What’s the max size of the standard battery tray? Trying to find a suitable battery while I wait for delivery of my TRX-4 Sport.

[@RC_Trailblazers]

I feel pretty good knowing the Gen 7 can crawl about 60 degrees with no mods, I'll have to install that Angle Reader and See what it actually is.

[@thereasonableamericans411]

Yeah except it does it not looking as real or as good. :)

[@samintrepid]

Very interesting test Jay when the wheater are not good outsite good job. I have order the bronco body for my trx-4 sport and just receive the chevrolet c-10 1966 I will paint this weekend. :)

[@jaypearce6199]

Thanks buddy, im actually filming another similar test today with metal axles vs stock plastic... maybe upload later today..

[@samintrepid]

@@jaypearce6199 No problemo, I will check that Jay. I have make a video of my trx-4 with GPM CVD ant 23t ouput gear in the portal ready brushless !

[@Iammasterkush]

How did you do your mag body mounts

[@ohmydadoy]

will this tray fit on trx4 sport kit?

[@Clickmaster5k]

what about the front tray?

[@patriotvet5569]

Does the front battery tray work as good or better than the LCG tray?

[@Clickmaster5k]

I'm curious about this too.

[@seanclarke4061]

Which bumper do you recommend the most for crawling/looks on a defender?

[@jaypearce6199]

Hi Sean, I would say anything that doesnt hang low and almost acts like a slider to help you over rocks, also nothing to wide to hang up on the edges, I learnt this after fitting one to my bronco and it was like night a day difference.

[@seanclarke4061]

@@jaypearce6199 thanks Jay! I love the camel bumper, but I'll have to swap something low profile like you said. Appreciate the info as I played with $100 cars as a kid, but the trx 4 is the first serious crawler I'll have ever used(comes in the mail tomorrow morning!). These things are so close to full scale cars! Can't wait to get crawling😁

[@jaypearce6199]

@@seanclarke4061 no worries man, yeah they are some serious dogs for sure, good luck with everything 😎

[@marcochavanne]

Will it allow larger 3S batteries to fit? I haven't been able to use my 5,200mAh 3S batteries in my TRX Bronco

[@jaypearce6199]

No I'm afraid your kinda limited on size, I can just about fit a 4000mah Turnigy graphine.

[@OswaldBeef]

On a slant

[@OswaldBeef]

Jay Pearce what brand battery?

[@indignato4711]

Wow Klipsch

[@wyattsimms4602]

What bumper is that?

[@juancarlosmolerocazorla9508]

sabes como se llama para poder descargarla.

[@OswaldBeef]

Put 4mm plugs inside your shocks

[@cooperchristopher5975]

can you buy some like that?

[@evoone3039]

maybe should have tried without the brass on the front it.

[@markopecurica4463]

Hey buddy! Please help, how you do descend in such controlled manner? I cannot do it with my bronco, it just slide down.. 😑😑😞

[@ricardopedraza1703]

You can set the esc on crawl mode

[@dennis586]

need a small battery and put it in the nose battery tray

[@juancarlosmolerocazorla9508]

hola desde España k aplicacion es la k usas para medir la pendiente con la tablet?

[@jaypearce6199]

es descargado de la tienda de aplicaciones, es solo aleatorio amigo mío

[@morercthanclassy1543]

Is that brass on the front diff?

[@jaypearce6199]

Nope, no brass dude

[@gottria]

Is that a 3d printed roof rack?

[@jaypearce6199]

No, it was a metal one

[@offscalerc24]

In order to avoid supports I rather print this one: www.thingiverse.com/thing:2848242 . Defender guy was very satisfied! On Bronco flip the middle part holding shocks. I prefer PETG

[@benvalentour6985]

Should have went backwards too

[@FarmerFpv]

Your side hilling is not much. Your tire's sidewalls are too soft. You need a stiffer 2-stage foam or some anti-foams so your tire doesn't roll under. You will get a lot more side hill capability if you fix the side walls from rolling over. I use antifoams and can go almost 40 degrees sidehilling.

[@HeliMarcReviews]

Scx10 2 clone makes 60degrees stock

[@jaypearce6199]

The roof rack really effects it as its over half a kilo in weight! Ive removed it now..

[@jrodzrc4580]

Nice battery tray man I have a trx4 my self I enjoyed the video plz check out my channel thank you n Happy Thanksgiving

Not worth it
