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? Go green. It’s the best colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toppers3933 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I have grey and green. Green is the winner imo. To be fair they’re all nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gti power Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I'm actually considering buying a kit form instead of the rtr and then buying the clear body and the hardware separately, any suggestions why this may not be a good idea over the rtr?

RobFandango Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 So I have got the tyres dirty at last... Have been given a voucher for the mark, apparently everyone they have has the same mark, however I want to cover it up. What would you guys suggest to cover it, I have seen spare tyres but it has one on the back already. You probably can't see it in the pic but its on the roof in-between the roof rack and the bar above the windscreen. Light bar won't exactly cover it, or not the ones I've seen, could any advise? with link please. Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll get some decent ones at some point. At least with splits I can remove the inserts and dry them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy Crockett Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Had the day off today and managed to do a bit more to the 'double-cab' Removed the rear body posts and made some new ones to sit under the bed. Cut down one of the spare bars from the cage and made 2 stubby posts Drilled a hole through each one to take the mounting screw Fitted to chassis and hole drilled straight down the middle Popped the shell on and marked where the posts sat under the bed, drilled a hole and fitted shell.... fits like a glove! Outside shots Updates to come...... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy Crockett Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Fitted LEDs and wired up better than the last hash I made and added a few scale bits Few of us went for a run this morning, a fantastic trail with a bit of everything...... rocks, paths, mud and streams Few bits to finish then I think I'm about there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, thats the badger! few yards along the track and over a stile. There's enough routes and trails to keep you entertained for hours..... last run we did 3.5 miles!!

Gaz! Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 Been a while but finally managed to get some runtime Sunday just gone. excellent day, their was a informal 20 gate course, the trx4 managed 19 of the 20 gates and 17of those was with a open front diff. just has so much grip!!! this was also at the meet so we decided to pull up alongside for a quick pic. so tempted to have a bronco, it’s a gorgeous looking truck..... or get the shell on a scx10.2 kit maybe? anyway, the trx4 is epic! not one breakdown (lost a sand ladder but found it) and today i fitted a set of Vanquish incision links and some samix c-hubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy Crockett Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Great pics! Landy looks very capable mate I thought the 110 trx4 was big when I got it but the bronco looks HUGE! Also looks very nice I'm over the moon with mine, stock apart from steering servo, alloy portal covers and hobbywing 1080esc...... dare I say best rig I've had? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 I’ll hold my hands up and say I’ve spent far more than I ever needed to, but that’s just me. yes mate, I’m in the same boat, the only other of my rigs that could be at the top is my orange landy scx10. oh and the other plus for Traxxas is the 3 quite original shells as opposed to the usual j#*p or Toyota.

Who says you've spent too much? Ive never seen any rules on how much you can spend or how many rigs are too many! Each to their own and its what makes it a great hobby. Your orange landy is like my disco to me, still got it and still love it despite what I've had since Sure I'm in the minority but never had a jeep....

Gavster29 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Hey folks I was just browsing RCMart for ESC's I was thinking of buying a couple of Quicrun 1060's 1 for the TRX and 1 for my Tamiya M03 which should be with me this week, however I spotted that Hobbywing have a Quicrun 1080 which is supposed to be a Crawler version! Have any of you run the 1080 ESC it looks like it has some decent features but is about twice the price of the 1060? I like the S-BEC will do 7.4v and is 3amp instead of 2amp and the programmable features. What are you guys running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy Crockett Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Quite a few posts on here re 1080 ESC, I swapped my xl5 for one and its awesome Programmable and IMO worth every penny over the 1060, £28 on hobbyking, just ordered 2! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamodman Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Hello, sorry to break in on topic, but getting tempted to go for Landrover or Bronco - just can't make up my mind ! the newbie question I have mobility issues - I have Outback & Charisma, is the Trx4 really worth the money, I keep getting tempted - but got to be realistic, Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
