I use a role of dimes up front on my TRX4. It works great for rock climbing. Fits good in the front battery tray. Two face tape and a battery velcro strap.

Awesome video is always my RC brother. Protek makes a shorty pack 3s 4500mah that you can velcro right down on your front rails without a battery mount put that weight as low as it can get you don't have to relocate anything

Not sure what battery you are talking about. The gap here is 40mm. Measure your battery to see if it is less than 40mm.

Battery width does pose a problem. Wish someone would come out with a shorty front mount battery tray like what comes with the inner fender kit?!! I don’t wanna run those on my sport, my bronco has them. I tried making one but didn’t work out so well lol. Anyway good informational vid keep’em comin’!!

Yes, you are correct. If you want to run a battery like that, then the front mount battery option from Traxxas might be even better.

Thanks Billy! The weight at the front of the truck helps with hill climbing. As the front tires go up and over an obstacle, they can almost pull the rear tires along.
