Upgrades for the TRX4 High Trail Edition Chevy K10 truck

New TRX4 high trail edition Chevy truck with some upgrades

[@jasongilbert6992]

Great minds think alike. This is exactly what I did

[@jessjoshwyatt3571]

Run the smaller 3s battery up front on that plate. That's what it's for and then throw your speaker in the old battery slot. Just an opinion

[@manchu9inf]

i have been toying with that very idea.

[@FarmerFpv]

Thanks for showing us your upgrades. I want that low CG battery tray and ESS sound system. The only problem is I use the front tray to run 2200 mah 3s for crawling for forward weight bias. I just upgraded mine with the 2in1 hobbywing FOC ESC motor combo, some brass, Hot racing + 5 mm stub axles with brass and black Hex adapters. I just got in my ford raptor body which is for the long wheelbase. Fits perfect. I ordered the SCX10 Honcho body as it will be easy to stretch it to fit. I don't want to ruin the stock body. It's going to be my shelf queen or for simple trails, lol. The stock body is so nice looking. So you think they will release a clear one?

[@manchu9inf]

some nice upgrades and the raptor body will look nice! I hear ya on the forward battery, but if you want to run sound, then i think you will have to go to the low cg battery tray, there just isn''t a lot of room. I have some more upgrades coming just waiting on the parts to come in. I do think they will make a clear body, probably released next year or Christmas time, maybe. I have also heard that a Ford 150 Truck body with the high lift will be coming soon too!

Hey Farmer fpv.. you say u got a raptor body to fit? Which one? I will take any other body that will fit cause i wanna do the same as you. That stock chevy body will never see a roll over lol. Too pretty!

What 1.9 tire and bead locks are you using? Looks great.

[@EricsRC]

I put my ess sound simulator on the bar that goes over the battery in the center.

[@travisgross9570]

if I ran 1.9 I would swap the servo mount and remove the limiters

[@montecasler215]

try moving your back shocks forward one hole

[@victornaja7927]

Hot dam you answer the question I had. I do want to do the same thing with engine sound speakers. I want the ess one it's smaller the ess dual is way to big. Hey what light kit will it fit on this k10 I want one with blinkers back up.

[@manchu9inf]

I am also planning on using the ESS 1 for sound, i just dont feel like taking one off my Blazer but I should just to test the fit. I am going to use the Traxxas Pro scale lighting system, maybe in a couple of weeks have that done. Sound will have to wait.

[@victornaja7927]

@@manchu9inf real quick so the blazer light kit should fit the k10?? Truck

[@manchu9inf]

@@victornaja7927 yes, it fits.

[@owl-iverdesigns]

I have them both, the ESS 1 versus the ESS duel it's huge. ESS one is not only just one speaker but it's also half of everything that I would say the dual is; the sound isn't as good, the program isn't as good you don't have as many options. Just my advice, I would say stick with the DUAL if you've got the room I know I had to go with the one because I put that on my 4-tec and the dual wouldn't fit inside lol so I had no choice but I can definitely tell the difference and the ESS dual is much better. But if you're like me and just don't have the room then it's an OK sound device, I'm not disgruntled over the difference, and knowing what you get is better than not.

What battery tray is that? Will it still hold the long 3s 5000ah batteries? Most I see seem to only hold shorter batteries. Thanks!

[@manchu9inf]

Yes, it will take the long batteries, it will even hold the 6 cell Nimh batteries.

[@BlueCollar89]

@@manchu9inf oh wow. What brand is it?

[@manchu9inf]

@@BlueCollar89 it's a bowhouse low cg battery tray, you can find it on Amain, about 28 bucks

[@BlueCollar89]

@@manchu9inf great thank you! Last question, when the vehicle suspension is compressed all the way down, does the battery tray hit the links or does it clear?
