Traxxas Trx4m IR40 Injora Build - Full Build and Testing

#traxxastrx4m #injora #injoraIR40 #injorauniversalLCGchassis #injoralaydownAxalservo
Hi everyone
I am sorry for the delay on this video, but it took a lot longer for all the parts to arrive and the editing took, way longer than I was expecting!
But it’s finally done, and I am more than impressed with this build
Injora has really done an outstanding job with all the parts that I used for this build.
The new IR40 body is amazing, especially mounted on their new universal LCG carbon fibre chassis! And the new laydown servo axle set up has been really well engineered, but what has really blown me away on this build is the new 20amp ESC from Injora.
Besides, it providing an extremely smooth modulation at low revolutions. It also has a really good output to the servo, the same servo, but it behaves completely differently, and now you can actually see what the 11 kg coreles servo is capable of!
Of course, in this video you will see me put together everything in detail and take it out for a test around the background crawler course.
I hope you all like the video took a lot of effort and time to make. I hope it’s any good!
If you do like it, and you would like to see more than like this, don’t forget to subscribe like comment and hit the bell, so you don’t miss any of the latest content.

Don't apologize for the length of the video I enjoyed every second of it. Another great build from you with all Injora parts.

[@rcfungames]

Julian! I truly appreciate you man, thank you 🙏 I tried to do it as quick as possible but trying to film it all can be quite challenging! And I didn't expect to spend so much time editing this video! All in all it took me three full days to do the build, film, edit and upload!! This has been the longest and the most work I have put into one video! And there are so many aspects that I could do so much better! Hopefully over the next videos it will get even better 😅 I truly appreciate your support! thank you very much 🤜💥🤛

[@Casitascrawlers]

Just wanted to say thanks for putting the work n time I’ve watched a crap load of IR40 builds & finally decided to build one the parts I ordered are just like yours I have a Defender I’m using the chassis & it already has red anodized high clearance links & steering links Reefs 99 servo & some lower brass here n there so that’ll be my base I’m building of of it’ll be the Gray body with red accents the 59 mm shocks have red as well. I wasn’t going to get the carbon frame but it looks awesome & it allows for the lay down servo to go with the axles I got the black aluminum set extended with front steering rods. Seems like the build is pretty straight forward I’ll definitely be coming back when I start my build. 👍

[@rcfungames]

Man bro that's awesome! Thank you so much for the support, I really appreciate it. Sounds like you've got an awesome build ahead of you 😁 I really like the performance gains from the lcg carbon fiber chassis, and their new Universal chassis in my opinion is the best one so far. Keep me posted! because I am very interested to see how your build turns out 😉 I'll tell you now that I have to taking it out for testing it is definitely my favorite and one of my best performing rigs.

That ESC, transmitter/receiver is amazing. I use that combo in mine. You will see an even better improvement when you switch to 3S. I am using Spektrum 850mAh Smart batteries. With the 6 channels you can run a winch or 4 wheel steering or extra lights. With 3S you shouldn't need crawler gears, it should provide enough torque to crawl plus a huge bonus to speed for fun.

I'm just looking to buy my first crawler and would love to give this build a try. How does the cost of the build compare to buying a ready to run TRX4m? Great video, thanks.

[@rcfungames]

@@travelingman186 well it's a great place to start with this build, they are quite simple to put together. For me to get a Traxxas trx4m here in Portugal, it costs 200€ and then you going to spend $400 at least upgrading it. Depending on how you proceed to upgrade it. My first two trx4m's I ended up spending around $600 on each, to then realize it is a lot cheaper to just buy the parts and put it together as then it is already upgraded. To buy all the parts like I did in this build, it will cost you around 400€ And of course you end up with a much better and more reliable product than buying it from Traxxas. As I've got to say the quality you get out of the box is really not great. If you want to buy a stock truck I recommend the Hobby Plus CR-18PRO Evo Or the awesome Furi wagon from Furitek. As the quality from these rigs are ways to period to the Traxxas straight out of the box

[@annasoming]

great little video.. new to your channel as I was curious to see how injora has come along with all their parts. one thing I noticed that bothers me on one of my rigs is the high clearance links expose the driveshaft at each diff. My driveshafts are all scratched up and not knicks in them too cuz of that so I ended up going back to straight links... in some rigs if I could find plastic lower links I sent for that too; just easier to slide and not get stuck on rocks.

[@rcfungames]

Thank you, I appreciate that 🙏 And welcome to RC fun and games thanks for watching and commenting 🤜🤛 Yeah, it annoys me too, the best you can do is put another spacer on the upper links to reduce the angle and how much of the drive shaft is sticking past the links. But even with that you still have a little bit that can catch! I find that the stainless steel links are the best to slide over the rocks! The aluminium and brass like to stick a lot more!

They had a few issues but not quality wise it was assembly by somebody in the factory. And like always the issues will resolved very quickly by injora.

Yes there are two different length axles available There is the original length and the extended version and the version that I used on this truck is the new version with the lay down Servo setup. I have now taken off these axles and I have put on the new diamond axles from Injora and they also come with the lay down Servo setup and I think personally they are a better axle than these. Not that there is anything wrong with the quality and performance from these axles.

Apologies if this has already been answered somewhere but is the laydown servo mount compatible with the rock tarantula frame for the TRX4M?

Sir, your links are on backwards 😉😘 Shorter ends go to the midplate, they'll follow the driveshaft better. Right now that's a hangup spot for ya, and it'll keep the axles from planting. I love your videos though!!! I learned a ton of stuff about a hobby I abandoned 30 years ago

[@rcfungames]

I believe I have them on the right way what you saying does make sense but at the end of the day I have seen many people with the setup and I don't like the way you lose all that extra clearance because of flipping around the links. And if you check the actual site you will see that they are fitted right. I really appreciate you watching my videos thank you very much.

Thanks bro I am running the new 1.3 brass rims with there 70mm by 27mm swamp crawl tires www.injora.com/products/injora-1-3-70-27mm-brass-wheels-with-swamp-claw-tires-for-1-18-1-24-rc-crawler-car

[@samsonitea5915]

Great video! I just ordered this build based on your list but opted for the 370 motor and diamond axles. I am looking into a 3S battery option. Do you recommend any particular 3S batteries and perhaps a charger to go with it or should I just stay with the original Traxxas solution?

[@rcfungames]

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback bro! I wanted to use the diamond axles when I was doing this build but they weren't available! I fit them on the next video! 😅 The diamond axles really give it that final look I was looking for!! I am still running the stock Traxxas batteries, as I've been looking for 3s batteries that will fit and on this side of the pond it seems to be quite difficult!! If you do find something let me know as I would like to give a 3s battery I try to! And any information is appreciated. I just want to say thank you very much for watching and leaving such an awesome comment. Hope to see you again on another video. Until then, have an awesome weekend. 🤜💥🤛

[@samsonitea5915]

@@rcfungamesYes I will let you know. I have definitely gone down a rabbit hole looking into the 3S batteries and chargers and connectors. Thanks for the response!

[@samsonitea5915]

I finally got a 3S battery and a Lipo charger. The battery I went with is the Tattu 450 mah 45c 11.1v with a red jst plug. I bought a Lipo charger as well that has an adapter plug for this battery. I bought a 3 pack of jst to PH2.0 wire adapters so I can plug the battery into the MB100 ESC. I charged it up and this thing is fast! I still have good control while climbing, especially if I throttle back the trim using the Injora transmitter.

[@mikejewer6984]

Awesome video! I’ve used it as an inspiration for my build. I’m at the point where I’m about to convert from plastic axles, to the Injora metal +4mm axles with lay down servo. I have a question about the links. My build is based off a Bronco (now IR40). I purchased the injora stainless high clearance links for the bronco a while ago. I noticed in your video you used the links with the bent rod ends. Will this be an issue for me? seeing as mine don’t have the bent rod ends. Thanks, really enjoy your content.

[@rcfungames]

It doesn't make a difference if you use the rod ends that are bent or not! But as far as I know they are now provided with every single kit, even with the Bronco and Defender links. I just find that the geometry on the front of the K10 works better than the rest because of those link ends. So just look carefully inside the packet I'm pretty sure you will find two in there. If not do not worry the difference is hardly anything anyway. Thank you bro I really appreciate the feedback, even if each video only helps one person, that makes me happy! Really appreciate you watching, and commenting, and I hope to see you again on the next one 😉

[@mikejewer6984]

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply!

[@user-vw1ql7zu1h]

the reduction gears are the ones making the crawler slower right?

[@rcfungames]

Yes the reduction is in the transmission, make it a lot slower than stock gearing. And of course the new MB100 ESC from Injora is really awesome for slow crawling as it's got great modulation.

Been waiting on a video for the IR40. Does it fit the trail version?

[@rcfungames]

Thanks bro I really appreciate the support! And no it doesn't fit the high Trail chassis you would have to cut the back rails to make it fit! I would say it's easier just to pick up one of the universal lig chassis for your build. Everything else will fit perfectly

[@pedellbills130]

I have a question about the frame when I put the long bar rear and the short bar forward, the frame is not even. Did this happen in your install?

[@rcfungames]

The front part of the chassis has to be narrower than the rear, as long as you have put in the chassis rails on the right side when building the rig it should all go together really well. Make sure you have done it exactly the same as I did in the video. I also had a bit of trouble figuring out this chassis but once I had it right it is the best one so far. If you still can't get it right find me on Facebook so that I can try and help.

Thank you bro, I really appreciate it man 🤜🤛 The cost of all the parts for this truck plus the electronics and battery, will cost you between $400 and 500 euros. And yes Wrangler body will also fit this chassis so will any other body made for the trx4m. I hope this helps. In the description of the video you will find the link to all the parts. I'm really glad that my video inspired you to build your own! Nonetheless I appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave me a comment. Thank you very much 🤜💥🤛

[@TonyGellaDrums]

Thank you. What if get traxxas this type car, ready to run, and after upgrade parts? Or do you recomend start from parts like on your video? Yes, build process is something special therapy 🙂.

[@rcfungames]

@@TonyGellaDrums personally I only by the actual Traxxas truks because of the bodys, I think it is much more cost-effective and fun to build your own. But if it is your first build, then I would say get a Traxxas trx4m and start by upgrading that, once you feel more confident, and get to know this platform before you build your own! 😉

[@TonyGellaDrums]

Yeah.. it my first step. But want for real enjoy car with good performance. I see, mostly videos about upgrade cars.. I think, maybe right way start build car from zero and not spend money for low-medium stock parts :) most of them useless after upgrade 😅

[@DavKaViOs]

Which tool do you use in the video?

[@rcfungames]

Bro I used quite a few different tools individual you're going to have to be a little bit more specific! 😅 I guess you are referring to the small hex drivers? You can find them on the Injora site.

[@bidibulle6795]

Good morning. Do you prefer this one or the tarantula? I plan to make one like you in full injora but I'm torn between the two chassis? Thank you in advance for your answer . PS: sorry for my bad English I am French and I translate with ggogle.

[@rcfungames]

Hello bro, sorry for the late reply. No worries the English on the message is perfect 👌 The tarantulas are great but you can compare it to fitting it to the lcg universal carbon fiber chassis and this awesome hard body half truck. If I was going to spend my money I would build the IR40 Injora half truck 👍 This is one of the most capable trx4m builds I have.

[@connerfall]

Would it fit on the hightrail if modified?

[@rcfungames]

I don't know about it fitting the high Trail but I'm pretty sure you could cut the back part of the chassis to the right length so that you could adapt this body to it. You could also just pick up one of the new Universal chassis that would sort your problem out because everything else should work fine. Hope that helps 👍

[@ralphramos196]

Can I swap over all hightrail components to fit chassis ?

[@rcfungames]

Yes you can use all your high Trail components as long as get the new universal LCG carbon chassis, or one of the normal lcg carbon fiber chassis for the Bronco or Defender.

[@ralphramos196]

Awesome just finished watching your video and just picked up my hightrail yesterday but I’m already going to modify it I really should’ve just bought the pieces and built it myself from scratch but it’s okay this is my first ever crawler and this video really made me want to upgrade to this chassis and build style, subbed and liked this video thank you for making such a great and informal video…cheers !!!

Good Vid, although ESC is an acronym for Electronic Speed Control, not abbreviation for Escape. At least not in this case. I really had to rewind and see, did this guy really just say escape when referring to the ESC.

[@rcfungames]

Thanks bro, yeah man that's just the way I talk and I think you knew exactly what I was meaning anyway by saying it as escape! Not everybody in the world talks the same and that's what sets us all apart and makes it even more interesting to watch other people's content as you don't just watch it for the content but for the quirkiness of each person's personality! I'm sorry it upset you so much that I said escape! And just to let you know 15 years ago there was a brand of ESC that was actually called Escape!!! The brand was Anderson and it was one of the top brands back in the day. So me and my group of friends back in the day used to just refer to it as escape!!! 😅🤣🤣

Don't call it a TRX4m because non of the TRX4m is left. Why doesn't Injora just offer it as a complete vehicle.

[@rcfungames]

You've got to call it a TRX4m! because it is still the same platform! Even if it is assembled with different branded parts!! it is still a trx4m! Now if I called it a Traxxas trx4m, then I would understand. I have no idea, why they don't offer a kit, with all the parts to build a full RC like this. And one of the main reasons I call it the trx4m besides being the same platform underneath the body even if it is assembled with different parts, I would get no views on the video because people wouldn't know what it is? How do you search for something if you don't know what it is? Traxxas is a brand, and trx4m is the design chassis setup!
