TRX4 Gets Vitavon 7075 axle housings with brass!!

[@laserbeam1620]

I love how he explains things like the guys on my weekend morning auto shows I've always watched.

[@jasonhughes3587]

Just sharing a little info for people looking into these axles. I got mine a week ago and they do not have bearings anymore, just bushings. Now I dont know if exo got special treatment or vitavon just changed out they way they are being shipped. They are still amazing and seem to be top notch quality.

[@charlesbartlebaugh]

I just ordered a set.of.the brass diff covers thanks Joe looking forward to getting them thanks again

[@ponypwr]

I flipped my bumper brackets front and rear and pushed the bumpers in as far as possible, also trimmed the fenders a small amount to get rid of the tire rub, these two mods helped a ton!

[@BGnation573]

I would like to see whoever makes those axles rc collection I bet he has some nice builds.

[@laserbeam1620]

It's a guy in China. Arthur Tsang. He is a real rc enthusiast! I have a lot of Vitavon and it's all gorgeous and very functional.

[@kravenkrawlhobby5438]

Of course I have a set, haven’t seen them in action because there still on the way. Thanks Joe, this is exactly what I needed to know so money well spent is how I feel now. Haven’t built my 10.3 yet. Wished I could pay someone to build it for me so I can try those axles out by Vitavon as well. There absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

[@drog343]

Well done sir, looked real good. I know I've been taking a good long while to get to this crawling / trailing thing, but all you guys that put out these vids keep me real interested 😁👌

[@stpbasss3773]

The bearings instead of the bushing washers is just a genius idea. I dont know much about Viviton but from what I've seen their stuff looks amazing, like top of the industry amazing. Wow just checked the link and those axles are way cheaper than I thought they would be, I might have to get those.

[@faststongesdrc7075]

I am using the portal since a year now. its the best, verry well made and perfome like nothing else.

[@old-rcplane-phart]

Flanged bearings in steering knuckles has been around a few years. Less than 5 years, but around. 4 years ago when racing 8th scale & sct, Tekno had them on their 48.4 buggy.

[@johnunderhill6672]

I’m building a TRX 4 truck from the ground. I went with the Vitavon axles... must’ve been pre-brass porthole option?! Got them through you Jim! (Your welcome) ... Bought the Yeah RacingTRX 6 axle set (also from Amain through ya) ... not impressed! They look like they’re made out of pot metal! Hope they hold up!!!

[@kravenkrawlhobby5438]

Only buy CNC Machined, cast alloy sucks ass as far as I’m concerned.

[@jim9310]

Dlux fab does it like that with the bearings

[@blakedenley3792]

Just got the 10.3 vitavon housings last week. Awesome quality from Vitavon

[@andysvideogameandrc6001]

OH! ITS A KITTY!! I thought it was a fox!🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@RC4X4]

Nice! Those axles are sweet. The first scratches are the worst.

[@07aowen]

I’ve been trying to make my mind up on which crawler to go with between the Axial scx10iii Jeep Gladiator or the trx4 Ford Bronco. After this video I may have to go with the trx4

[@mikep.9338]

Almost went with a set of vitavon twice but kyx kept calling my name...nice run👊🏾

[@ExocagedRC]

I’m going to try to mod these. I may ruin the chubs but I’m going to try.

[@roberth5370]

Mike P how do u like the kyx parts?

[@mikep.9338]

@@roberth5370 like them a lot bro from sliders to the axles👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@JustCallMePCra]

Man some of your trucks have better hop-ups than most people's cars in Atl... Lol can't wait for my trx-6

[@ExocagedRC]

lol some are a bit much

[@gadgetmantwincities]

I’m looking at the xmaxx parts from vitavon!

[@dominiqueleblanc2193]

Would love those axels. Looks like their ebay store only keep trx6 axel kits.

[@gwpattrick]

The link isn't working. Its 4:00 am where i am. I don't know if that helps. But i know what im getting for my trx 4 tactical next.

[@fastkrt10]

Awesome 👌 upgrade. Like em

[@S9RUT]

Definitely should get some Yeah Racing front shock towers for the panhard mount.

[@laserbeam1620]

Exocaged RC do you know if you can still use the Tracks with these Vitavon parts?

[@ExocagedRC]

No idea but I don’t see why not.

[@markstopczynski5869]

Do you think the metal slides over rocks better than the plastic?

[@ExocagedRC]

No. At least not soft metal. This 7075 isn’t bad but it’s not as smooth as plastic.

[@scottdashnaw2345]

I wish they would make them 1 inch wider for my jconcepts to fit right..

[@micaelacarter4971]

I did NOT think it would make that climb or get the nasty. If you had dual stage foams you may not have got the hook on climb and crack of doom? Great driving! Did it give you a few ideas for the Pink Jeep trx? It may have rolled on the nasty with those garage hack wheels you mentioned?

[@ExocagedRC]

I was as surprised as you when it climbed Twin Ridges. Changing foams can help in one place but hurt in another, its tough to find the perfect compromise

[@WreckinStreetsDaily]

Hey how long is that front upper link? I need that link to complete my front end! Please let me know! Thanks.

[@ExocagedRC]

not sure but they are the stock links on it.

[@rcpatapouf]

can this axle housing be made full of brass to weigth more ?

[@ExocagedRC]

Yeah but that’s really not needed.

[@timjohnson9406]

Those are sweet w the bearings!! So they come with the diff lock cables? Did you remove them, you didn't get to detailed on that .

[@ExocagedRC]

I reused the stock ones

[@ChillinwithChet]

Uggg im guessing you need to cut and clamp a new cable??? Cant find an install video anywhere

[@vb9300]

how long it take you to get your axles? I ordered mine 3 weeks ago, not a word out of them nor is there a way to find out where they are at. Sent 3 emails to the service dept with no friggin response? Guess i wasted 300 bucks.

[@ChrisDavis-eq9lj]

Nice axles! Is the blue disc in the bed your driver mod?

[@ExocagedRC]

LoL nope it’s a waffle.

[@greglewis7634]

would these axle housings work the trx4 with traxx ??

[@shaneclipse97]

Joe which wheels are you referring to from tgh? Interested in something to hide my bling because I've noticed my brass c hubs seem to grab things more than my plastic ones

[@ExocagedRC]

The ones for the Capra. It’s their only wheel I think.

[@ShaneSeiber89]

What did you use to make the course ?

[@ExocagedRC]

Buddies with a tractor.

[@ShaneSeiber89]

I mean did you use mortar mix?

[@robertdahl7291]

You need the front for creep6

[@lowandslowcrawlers]

Try the traxxas green springs in the back. //Secret of the pros\\

[@ziggyzbeak]

I thought the sport had only one gear ?

[@ExocagedRC]

This is the Sportish, it’s a sport body on a bronco chassis with all bronco features.

[@ziggyzbeak]

@@ExocagedRC I think ill put a creep body on my bronco Cheers

I hate how no one sells fully loaded axles

[@rcstumpjumpers2049]

Great video! On my latest build I have gone with the Integy axle housings and Samix portals. No cute bearings but they do offer super fit and finish. Did you ever trim the inside mounts for the hanging up on rocks problem?

[@trashpandacustoms400]

Locked Up RC uses bearings.

[@mattrogers6616]

Yeah racing has front knuckles like that on their metal axle housings on the TRX 4

[@KurtsRCs]

Man those look sweet lots of low weight

[@skirmich]

Awww Vitavon missed an opportunity to make the front portal housings with a newer design ala GRC.

[@ExocagedRC]

oh I know, the GRC chubs and knuckles are awesome
