.AJ. Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 That’s up you, I don’t really want or need anymore speed in mine, brushless is all about torque, not speed for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 To be fair I only noticed the 3300kv cause it was the 550 can, the lower kV ones are 540L’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna order a 1080, but think Ill wait till I get some more funds together and go with an AXE 3300KV, just worried itll make it too quick to crawl? Not sure if you saw mine or other trx4's at the meet but most were running axe or axe fusions. Either way the 3300kv axe crawls amazingly in the trx4 imo, it has the kv to shift it if you want / need some wheel speed. With 11t pinion and low range, it can creep as slow as a snail equal if not better than brushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im very impressed with it standard, probably the most impressive out the box RC ive had. Ive ordered the brass, Ill see how I get on with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skynet5 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) I've just found the vanquish range of crawlers...pro and ultra look phenomenal. But the phoenix, for the price seems very very good. Cheaper than a trx-4, if you're looking to replace the electrics anyway, so is probably the better avenue. I already have sanwa tx and rx that I can use, which is only 4 channel, but that would be fine for now. Now I'm in a quandary. Id need some servos...but you always need servos 🙂 Edited March 14, 2022 by Skynet5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shergar Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Quick one, of the two TRX-4 Sport kits, is the extra money for the locking diffs, arch liners and 2 speed gearbox worth it you factor in I will be using my own radio transmitter (personal preference for stick) or would I better off going on the base kit and adding what I would like to it? Base kit is £329 Premier kit is £449 Any thoughts? Is the Traxxas radio sought after used? Cheers 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers 👍 The Tqi Tx, rx are pricey new so would probably sell for decent money, not sure how quickly it would sell though. Are you only after the kit version? The rtr 2021 Bronco in red or orange is good value at £499 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redback Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 The TQI TX is pretty good ive found, decent distance and good battery life. The features are nice, such as cruise control. Diff locking switch is a bit of a weak point imo as easily knocked out of difflock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I’ve left the stock radio in mine, it just works and with the Bluetooth module it’s easy to set up after market electronics 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shergar Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I reckon your all on commission from modelsport 😁 appreciate the input. So go big is the consensus then (and call you all @&!?* when the servos go pop!) I really like the Gmade’s but I figured spares for these will always be found years into the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TRX4 electrics aren't always bad, depends how you treat them and if the mini servos are set up correctly. Bar the stock steering servo, changed ours when new because I was bored, both of our rigs have had about 16 months of use and both are still running stock motors, all 6 mini servos, esc and receivers. For ref, we've always run on 2s, don't go wading and don't bash or do huge jumps. They are crawlers after all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers 👍 I went for the full fat kit and then replaced all the electronics, apart from the three micro servos, straight away. I really should try and move them on at some point rather than just leaving it all sat in the box under the dining table. Anyway quite glad I’ve got the two speed transmission but haven’t spent enough time with it yet to really say if the lockable diffs are worth it over a fixed set.

supersavage Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) I prefer the sport kit as I couldn't be bothered with faffing with the extra components and cables, though I wasn't entirely sold on the sport body but with the cage and bits on the kit version it looks a lot better in person. Having said that I would like to try fitting just the front lockable diff as it might improve the turning circle a bit.

You could also try fitting the overdrive diff gear set whilst you fitted that to improve it further. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
