Gaz! Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Ooh, forgot to add, put another couple of hours on my Trx4, again no issues to report thus far. thought I had burnt out the gear change servo so swapped it out for another and still wasn’t working, turns out that in the rain at the nationals got into my transmitter and now channel a (little toggle switch) has packed up, moved gear change to another button and all is well again. i have to say that overall this is such a good truck and goes wherever it’s pointed, so happy with this truck! on another note, I have to say, the venture isn’t too shabby either....

Pistonhead Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Not a Traxxas fan by a long shot, but this impressed me big time, has me seriously thinking about using one as a base for a solid axle MT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray68 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Had my Sport for a few months and looking to bring the c of g and some weight lower down via brass portal covers. The problem is the market saturated with different makes like SSD,HR,Samix,MFR,Yeah to name but a few. Does anyone have any recommendations I guess the Fastrax ones are rebranded generic ones?

SSD is the best of that bunch, also British so worth supporting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray68 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I didn't know SSD were British always assumed they were American for some reason. Would SSD00198 Portal Weights be a good choice or are these actually portal covers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 I like ssd and also samix, have numerous items from both companies and no problems at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddyroo Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) Got the kit just before Christmas with a view to trying to get the eldest off his ar#e and hopefully interested. Picked up a clear defender shell and gave him the choice on paint. Finally got out at the weekend and now I can't get the transmitter off him - the words 'awesome' were grunted frequently! Say what you like about traxxas business ethics but you have to admire the engineering that's gone into these - and I'm no fan boy BTW but it looks like another one will have to be acquired. Here's a couple of pics as he tackles a wall. Still needs mirrors and roof rack and lights......... some stickers...... winch, possibly. ..... some detail work....... but for now just enjoying watching the excitement and amazement it brings.

bertberr Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Like it. Even though it's Traxxas... Always good to spend some rc time with your kids. Spent a few hours on our back garden trail course yesterday with my 8yr old daughter and a Thunder Tiger Hilux and a little 1:24 Outback Mini. Beats the Xbox any day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Finally got round to getting a set, after being hit with customs and charges, you wouldn’t get much change from £80 now for for years I’ve praised the Rc4wd punisher shafts but as time has worn on, scale looking versions have evolved which I’m not keen on, no where near as beefy as the old v1’s now I can see why these cost more, the fit and finish is superb, sliding the shaft in and out feels silky smooth (no pun intended, you dirty minded buggers ) built them up as per guide using their included grease and threadlock and added a touch of heat shrink over the pin joint as is recommended. and fitted to the old war horse, all sorted and ready for the upcoming recon g6. after this I’ll completely strip, grease and rebuild ready for its next adventure..... thanks for looking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyroo Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Both very capable trucks from what I researched before buying. What tipped the balance for me was the huge choice of upgrades and accessories available for the traxxas. I keep looking at the Hpi as a second truck for my son (the trx is supposed to be mine) but the lack of kits/RTRs and spares availability alone is steering me towards a trx sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
