TRX-4 Build pt. 4 Wheels and Tires!

[@davidpigg3942]

I like hearing you talk your way through the course it's a lot better than some music blasting on a run video.

[@westdesertwheeler]

Thank you, I feel the same way. I wish more people just talked

[@relichunter1092]

But some people talk way to much

[@rickysiebert9618]

Agreed

[@markclausson564]

Yeah I hate it when they play music I wanna Here the truck running

[@richardbalzarinijr2676]

Hello I have a new trx4 sport. Love it don't plan on switching. One thing. U removed the sliders I had a idea where using a cut off wheel and cut off the slider that sticks out. So now it's still tighter and u can use the body mount so it still has some strength on the side rather than flimsy with nothing there 🤷🤷🤷

[@mrboat580]

lol. . .those tires sure did nail the grip grip on the bump up

[@mikesblueskyproductionsuta7634]

The way you talk through your moves has really helped me with my crawling. It makes me think through a lot more where I’m going. Great videos.

[@RockinTrailZ]

Bow house skid and high clearance links now and she will be a beast. If you kept the stock servo location you could have moved battery all the way forward with a custom tray . And removed the heavy plastic battery tray truck becomes insane when done

[@irserge]

IntheworksRC makes a true flat belly skid

[@blakedenley3792]

Bowhouse rc makes a high clearance skid and low cg battery tray for the trx4, good investments

[@tiborbeetles1882]

Recommend the Bowhouse RC high clearance skid.

You must enjoy Kentucky pin striping LOL

[@dkmgm2011]

Sick lines bro! Keep cheering on those trucks!

[@westdesertwheeler]

Haha someone has to be the cheerleader out there!

[@alannatreacy6988]

Dude! Awesome I still come back to watch your videos there legit!!!🤙🏻🤘🏻🇺🇸

[@doshermanosrc4265]

Awesome Video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrBulldog917]

What I did to lower the cg on my sport was I put 2 2200mah batteries on the sliders as far forward as possible and that made a huge difference

[@markhinkle3234]

Good video series. It gives me great ideas for my 14 year old daughters TRX4 sport. They are a bulletproof truck. Thanks a ton!

[@garrettgassett8413]

I would love to see a flat rail trx4 build!!!!

[@alamanako]

Aww man some great lines on this vid!

[@dominicpecoraro6074]

I keep n keep comin back for your crawler vids cuz i just got a scx24 and really want a 10th scale so im watchin a lot of your stuff. Love your play area lol. I just subbed.

[@rcmakingtracks18]

Just goes to prove you don't have to do to much, or spend to much to improve the rc's performance. Nice job Logan, oh and the trx4 is growing on me. Lol. John

[@oldironsfury]

Ssds and Trx4 look great 👍 thanks for sharing The usual awesome

[@kjs6469]

Thanks for the build series. Did you ever add or change anything else? Would love to have some natural crawling area like what you have.

[@moonshobby]

You're good at taking the mound. As expected, trx4. Thank you for the great location and great video. ^^

[@fastbackcustoms9721]

For flat skids InTheWorksRC makes a flat skid (even with the bottom of the chassis is rails) And brazen Scale Rc Makes a Completely flat skid. I recommend A Element stealth X transmission in the trx4 has the overdrive, and lower gearing really helps for slow climbs. anyways great video as usual🤙🏻

[@rcplaytime]

climbs so well,love it😀👍👍😎

[@djr01974]

SSD front portal weight will help get that front end down. Would like to see that end of video line tried again with some weight up front. Happy New Years 👍🏻🤘🇺🇸 nice series.

[@westdesertwheeler]

That might make the difference

[@AlecLangton]

That line at the end was pretty gnarly… I don’t think the TRX4 Bronco would fit in there. 😂 Great video, as always!

[@Pavestar1]

Nice driving subbed 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@BroncoSteven69]

A little brass up front and the battery up front would make a big difference. I climb stuff with mine and it’s weight bias is about 62-38. Where are you at now for weight bias?

[@eeatsvaz]

love my trx4. definitely not a fan of stock skid either. its two pieces and starts to separate over time. ordered a bowhouse high clearance skid to try. not flat but is one solid piece.

[@jonesrccrawlers2300]

I just swapped in a savox on my trx4 bronco. It made a big difference.

[@alexchelaru1196]

I put the desert lizard 110mm 2 stage shocks in mine and it seems to keep the whole truck, especially the nose, more planted, but I had to get a different servo mount. I know the 100mm will just bolt on no problem.

[@izikhunter2041]

In my area high clearance links are a must you could try that maybe fix that low belly

[@fishnrc294]

I was waiting for this next segment. It’s amazing what it was able to accomplish. I’m thinking it will eventually go up that last steep climb I’d love to see you do a few more things to improve it & retry it. I’ve just started working on mine & overall I’m already impressed. I know people lower the body so I’ll be doing that & cutting the panels & removing the front bumper. I’ve already moved the rear to where yours is. Those tires look huge compared to the stock ones. I’ve got to get the front mount to move the servo & I’m getting the brass one & not sure if I’ll get the front battery mount or LCG one yet. There’s so many things you can do to the Sport truck that makes it more appealing. What battery back are you using it must be a shorty 3s. I think a little more weight in the front & dual stage foams & it may make that steep climb. Thanks for the video & Happy New Year. I’ve been wearing my WDW hat out when crawling & as soon as the sun comes back in rainy So Cal it’ll be nice to keep the sun off me.

[@rickyprisbrey]

Dude I need to get back into crawling with you

[@tangosierra1]

Bowhouse make a high clearance skid

[@leogoughmtbs]

My cc01 is as tough as nails as well, I had a similar incident with a 10 ish foot drop, and it just carried on. I like your location 👍

[@rcmichael513]

Intheworks has a flat skid for the trx4 that's pretty good, and bowhouse makes a high clearance skid. Still has a little belly but way better that stock.

[@LittleGrey]

I’ve been looking forward to seeing an update on this! Can’t wait to see what else you have in store!

[@jahmenrcbuildingasone4254]

Great motor in this rig love they it crawls it just owns rock and lines..Cut the back bed off cage it maybe or shocks only.

[@jayf2487]

what mantainence would you say need to be done to these rigs? do you open it up and grease all the gears?

[@kevinklein1806]

Is it time to add some front knuckle weight yet?

[@fellmen2194]

You should try the 1/18 hard bodys

[@giaxxone]

My sport is at about the same place except with dual stage foams and brass portal covers…. and a huge C10 body, 1080, stock motor and a 12t pinion. I’ve kinda decided that I like it where it is. It’s planted, tough and fun to drive. I’ll continue to tinker, move weight around and try to make it better at being the truck it is, but I can’t see where more money is going to add without taking away. Of course I’ve also decided that I want to build a higher performing (and lighter) rig on straight axles and an element transmission.

[@westdesertwheeler]

I think you’ve made smart choices and knowing when to build a different style rig is important the TRX will never keep up with some of my custom crawlers and that’s fine it doesn’t have to. But it is a good truck!

[@cameronphipps6919]

I have only seen one trx4 in person and they seem like a stiff truck stock compared to stock scx10s

[@bkrgi]

I say stick with the current platform just work on suspension settings like spring rates, shock oil weights, sag to see how much difference all that makes...lots of combinations there to experiment with. Oh and bob the back body. Sure like to see Traxxas come out with a Capra killer.........

[@aymanmohamdy9625]

Intheworksrc belly is what you need

[@SevenWelt]

nice trail!👍

[@felixguzman6902]

Hi , I ask you what tires and rings do you use in that Trax4 sport ?

[@scratchbuilder101]

Getting one tomorrow, watching your videos to see what I need to do. Looking at the servo relocate mounts, there's tons of them!!! Which part number did you use? Thanks for the great video series, really gonna help me out!!!

[@relichunter1092]

Where did you go to drive here

[@rezjunkierc3377]

is this out in snow canyon? its been a minute since i been out in utah.

[@Bean-or1mv]

brazin make a pretty good skid

[@brianonthego]

The tire size fits the rig well. I agree..ditch the bumpers. You said you have 2 youtube channels...what is the other channel?

[@westdesertwheeler]

West Desert Shooter is my other

[@mikebird8290]

LOGON SIR QUICK QUESTION WILL U PUT DULE STAGE IN FRONT AND BACK OR DULE FRONT SINGLE BACK?

[@westdesertwheeler]

Mike, I prefer front and rear

[@mikebird8290]

@@westdesertwheeler THANKYOU FOR ANSWERING LOGON✌️

[@garageworks5246]

is about to be a year tomorrow, anything else done to the trx4 sport sense then?

[@westdesertwheeler]

Truck has been sold for almost a year now

[@blakedenley3792]

intheworks rc has a flat skid for the trx4

[@ScaleDude78]

For trx4 straight axles were you looking at the SSD portal delete kits?

[@westdesertwheeler]

Possibly just swapping to a different brand straight axle. An AR45 might work

[@roywarden2530]

Hi Logan. You are using a quality servo with the Traxxas TX transmitter which does not allow you to set end points. Will this cause burn out of the servo ? I am just about to change my transmitter so I can set steering servo end points before purchasing a quality servo. Am I wasting my money replacing the TX transmitter?

[@westdesertwheeler]

Not a waste at all, end points are very important that’s a good thing to do

[@roywarden2530]

@@westdesertwheeler Thanks Logan, great channel.

[@shaynejenkins446]

I love those tires. But they are scale...yes? I got 2 sets just because they look good with my old chevy bodies. I like that your tryin them instead of the go to's

[@ryanfredrickson832]

Logan just found your Chanel and subscribed! I'm fairly new to the hobby and thinking of picking up one of these trucks. Does the ESC require a Traxxas batt or can I solder on and use and 2 or 3s? Thanks for sharing your knowledge, love this Utah crawling footage

[@genesiscyclefixborneo1201]

The way you drive why not try out full droop front(remove spring), mount small battery front(3d print from thingiverse). Theres high clearance slider on the site too. Stick to the canyon trail tyre but mod the treads.

[@johngookinsable]

C'mon TRUCK! 🤣

[@torq1116]

So, this TRX4 Sport or the Axial Capra for crawling? (Just for fun, no competitions)

[@richardemmons835]

You should try the element hd Enduro I'ma Traxxas fan it's the king as I refer to the TRX but the element with different tires than stock I put super swamper predator compound and a winch on the front same as my Traxxas and a winch in rear same as Traxxas and the Traxxas servo went out in a hour of running first time so it has a jx servo were the element comes all reedy and it's been rock solid so the TRX has a ninmiss and I believe that those few changes made them neck and neck so try out the HD Enduro next Logan enjoy the channel man

[@Ginga_Ninja_RC]

You really need to get those Krawlers in the G8 compound. I have used both and the G8 is far better in my opinion. The Predator compound is too soft and the lugs will roll instead on biting in. Especially down there with the warmer weather. The Krawlers also really do get better as they wear in.

[@rcpayne6416]

That was a tight spot, how many grams do your front and rears weigh?

[@markclausson564]

I did not hear you say what kind of tires you have just the compound predator

[@jamesdoughty1522]

Bowhouse skid

[@scottsoffroad]

Bowhouse skid at Amain hobby's.not flat but allot better than stock.

[@westdesertwheeler]

I’ll check it out

[@NTX_RC]

Any updates?

[@rogerdodger6888]

havent seen anyone switch trx 4 to straight axles, would be interesting, probably would need flat belly.

[@rcpayne6416]

A flat skid is not as predictable as a grooved skid. I think on the trx4 you'll see what I mean

[@jmmustangs3078]

Run across any snakes 🐍 out there? Nice rig

[@westdesertwheeler]

A few a year. They usually go hide

[@lucaskienas1304]

Can you please build a 1.9 wraith

[@westdesertwheeler]

I had one before I started KZbin

[@mastermindrc4404]

Bro test the rock pirates shock towers

[@westdesertwheeler]

I don’t own a TRx4 anymore

[@brianonthego]

I think instead of building the truck more..I would leave it as is...kind of like a challenge for your driving skills truck. Then when you drive a more capable truck..the courses will be easier...if that makes any sence.

[@jakequaempts5234]

Axle weight

[@richtygart6855]

Until I got my Tamiya Hornet as a kid RC cars were unbelievably horrible in the 80s. I had plenty. My parents bought me a Jeep and a dune buggy called the Sandmaster for Christmas that didn't even have the power to go across the carpet in my living room and they weren't cheap either.

[@Art-zs6sl]

Show more is broken..

[@Art-zs6sl]
