trxrincon Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 What about leaving the rear cage on and making a canvas tilt to put over the top of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunm Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I would say cut down the cage to fit over the cab, reason being I've not seen a canvas tilt home made that really nails it for perspective, being a land rover nerd and a coach trimmer I'm a bit picky.

Davy Crockett Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Thanks for the comments!! Decision made and fired up the dremel Trimmed the cage down and left one of the horizontal bars long. Bent it to meet the bottom bar, drilled a hole through and glued in a thin bar. Not pretty but i'll apply some polish later I hope it meets approval! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobFandango Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Some great info on this thread, I got mine a couple of days ago and constantly fighting he urge to start spending! reqlly like the front bumper and SSD beadlocks. I have an issue with some marks on the injection moulded shell. Very slight bobble in the front roof panel right in the middle. The modelshop has opened 3 and sent me pictures and they all have the same mark. Very annoying, I need to find something to go over the mark.

Davy Crockett Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 The front lights don't come with buckets and look rubbish with an LED popped in so raided the spares box and found a couple. Cut a hole and glued in buckets.... Wired up side, tail and headlamps - 2 switches, one for LEDs and one for lightbar when I order one Popped the body on for a quick pose..... hoping to finish rear mounts tonight I have wheel arches, just need to order inners 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gti power Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Still haven't order my trx-4 yet, can't decide on a red or a grey one ? As this will be my first dealing with lipos I'm looking at buying the https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/242974/ and the https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/245761/ as I feel these will make introduction to lipos much easier for a beginner?

I was nervous with wife at side handing over 470 quid but wow just wow. Steering servo yep could be a tad better and more weight down below but overall it's a right bit of kit . Tried the cheap cheerful ones there great but just not a trx and that's being totally honest 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobFandango Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I’ve completely ruined my standard SCX10 ii body already so have ordered a painted Land Rover killerbodies one. ill post a pic when it arrives of it next to the TRX-4. Ive has them both out and I find the TRX-4 more capable but it falls over a lot, reqlly is top heavy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 A TRX4 will be joining my Super Baja Rey in the near future. After watching the Scale Build Guild videos, I do love the detail. I'll probably spec it up with some knights customs parts. The LR body is top heavy. Have you guys found adding the Brass / alloy to the unsprung mass has countered the top heavy side of things?

I did read you really need the Brass / alloy hubs / drive bars etc to try and bring the CG down and add to the unsprung weight. There's also the lower CG Battery tray too, which is an option or using a smaller Lipo as per amainhobbies suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
