THANK YOU for not making us watch you unscrew the screws and sticking to the meat of the topic! Great job!

[@billchristo7894]

This was GREAT! I just got the new Axe combo for my trx-4 and a flysky! I was confused on how to make it all work. This was awesome. Thank you for this. Using as a guide.

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Glad it helped Bill! Great luck with it 🍀

[@TheRoadTaken]

I'm sorry (not sorry), but this video deserves another comment. This video is absolutely brilliant. I'm only up to 12:20 and I'm just blown away at how well this is put together.

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Thanks Daryl, means a lot and makes making these videos worth it 🤝 appreciate it man

[@sprather84]

Great vid my RC friend 👍 that was the first thing I did b4 I even drove it was put a Protek 370tbl servo and hobbywing axe 2700kv... such a beast

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Great minds 💡 thanks Sean!

[@Wurstkommission]

Very interesting and instructive! 👍👍👍

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Thanks brother 🤝 real appreciate it man

[@plaisbois951]

Man I just installed the Axe R2 550 3300 on my TRX4 Defender and the truck flies! If pops Wheelies like crazy! It's a night and day difference the rig is alot more fun now I highly recommend it! I soldered the plug for my light kit directly on the ecs right on top of the battery cables so it has a factory look and I put a Y splitter on one of my channel 1 receiver to install the fan came out great and factory looking. Might upload a video showing my setup

Would you need a different receiver after replacing the tqi

[@RCConceptsx]

Great video! I’m going to install the Hobbywing Axe 3300kv and ESC. I’m also installing the Traxxas 400 steering servo. Do I need a BEC as well? Thank you

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Great choices - no BEC needed just straight to the receiver

[@user-do7pu3qf9j]

Hello, how are you. Can I put the battery 11.1..replace the battery 7.4. for the car. Will the car be affected.. Thanks..

[@JoeOvercoat]

So a quick test with a meter on the motor leads goes a long way towards confirming what the ESC LED [might be] indicating.

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Thanks Joe 🤝

[@geethewhiz]

Hi, how are you liking these changes and how fast does the 6 go now? Im thinking of checking this one out as well

[@RickysGarageVibes]

No regrets Gee Whiz, faster, better control, no brush worries, overall it made the rig what it’s supposed to be … you won’t be disappointed, let me know how it goes

[@keithbutler6361]

This is one of the best videos I have seen on how to fit the new motor and esc , also great soldering technique, I also agree on you not showing how to unscrew ever nut and bolt 🔩, ,great job very enjoyable to watch and I’m sure will be extremely useful to people wanting to upgrade there own trucks for the first time , I have just liked and subscribed to your channel, keep the videos coming , stay safe mate 😊...

[@TheRoadTaken]

@22:47 - is that red button the new power switch for the truck? I originally thought it was used to program the ESC but now I think I was mistaken. Or does it do both?

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Only turns on the truck, I use the app to program the ESC

[@haroldrockhill5631]

Part number 8897 is the part number for the 2 add on lights.

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Thanks Harold 🤝

[@wojciecho]

@Ricky's Garage Vibes your video and instructions are the best! Thank you. Just two questions as I don't have the meter with me: are Traxxas lights powered by 11.1V?? You connected directly to the battery. And second please: do you think I can connect the fan to the Traxxas lights connection directly?

[@RickysGarageVibes]

The Traxxas lights aren’t connected directly to the battery. The kit comes with a module, they also sell a separate LED Power Supply. The cab light is not from Traxxas and it’s 12v

[@RickysGarageVibes]

The fan has to be connected to a channel inside the receiver not directly to the battery

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Replay the video, I show the module and how to connect the lights

[@wojciecho]

@@RickysGarageVibes Thanks, I was thinking about connecting the lights module directly to the battery. Seems risky, I read that this connection smoked the module foe some people. Does it work fine for you after a few months? I'm considering connecting the lights module to the receiver, the same as the fan - what do you think?

[@RickysGarageVibes]

@@wojciecho the module is 12v, the receiver is only 6v so you can’t connect the module to the receiver. I’ve had no issues connecting the module to the battery. If you’re using the original Traxxas system, you can connect the module to the XL5 TQi (blue)

[@joshrichie9833]

What pinion ?

[@subhashSaber777]

How can i use locking diff with number 4 and 2 speed with other channel?

[@RickysGarageVibes]

You have to set the receiver

[@sprather84]

You need the metal traxxas servo horn 👍

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Any specific reason for the Traxxas one ..

[@sprather84]

@@RickysGarageVibes it has better clearance when your suspension is fully compressed

Of course you can use the controller it comes with

When you change it?

[@1960valdivia]

Great video 😀 I just got that combo but the new version axe 550 r2 3300 but it came without the pinion gear :) should i get the 12t 5mm pinion ? plese help :) sorry for my english

[@RickysGarageVibes]

If you want slower crawling you can go for the 10t or the 14t for more top end speed ... for my type of bashing I go with 12t .. a balance

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Thanks Nelson 🤝 appreciate it and great minds think alike on the axe

Weird I’m using the same motor mount position with the same motor and it doesn’t seem as fast as it should.
