Popular Post Gaz! Posted August 24, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2017 Hi, so managed to get my claws on one in red, needs cvd's for sure, (they all do) a little bit of detailing here and there then some serious running. done half a pack through it and it all works and feels good. Quite surprised on its capabilities with the diffs unlocked.... anyhoo, on to the important bit, And a couple on its first meet with the "family" more to come as it gets used thanks for looking. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move that Proline MT on to it's rightful home (you we're quick!) and free up a space in the cave for it Scalers / crawlers do nothing for me at the moment, but i'll echo others and say they do look mighty nice for a rtr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz! Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 That mate looks superb! please feel free to post up pics and links to that there front bumper looks good, I'm waiting for a hd bumper to be released, then slap on my winch. couple of points to raise as yet, wheel choice is limited as yet and it's a real pain if you wish to switch to your own radio gear. otherwise still over the moon with it, and yeah does need some bits and bobs doing, just want to put a few hours through it.

atom3624 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Looks great straight out of the box - like the colour too. You'll have to get the 1:1 repainted to match I reckon!! Al. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkfat78 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I was thinking the other way around mate lol, but then I'm not as yet into crawlers. I just like the idea of all the scale mods 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trxrincon Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I see they've gone up to £500, I got mine back in June for £469, I guess popularity has made Traxxas up the price? Oh, I've got brass portal covers for mine next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavster29 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I love the look of the TRX 4 and if I had 500 notes I would be buying one! They are expensive but Traxaas always are! Gaz I would love to hear more feedback from using it in anger! I have a Maverick scout and it is fantastic around the garden, however I thought I would take it for a run the weekend and got bored of it's slow speed actually trying to drive it somewhere to use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats sort of upgrades or shiny stuff is out for them yet Biggest upgrade out of the box would be getting some weight up front, I have popped on alloy wheels with pit bull mad beast tyres and filled in the front bumper with lead, feels much better now although no real testing due to weather go go for it mate, it won't disapppoint. i have to buy another one in next couple of weeks, the green one 1 hour ago, Gavster29 said: I love the look of the TRX 4 and if I had 500 notes I would be buying one!

I have a Maverick scout and it is fantastic around the garden, however I thought I would take it for a run the weekend and got bored of it's slow speed actually trying to drive it somewhere to use it From the use I've given it as yet, apart from needing weight up front it's a cracking truck, will keep up with a scx10 75% of the time with the diffs open, lock them up and it's quite a beast! more severe testing will be done at the nationals next month, I'll do a more in depth kind of review on it then next mod for me is portal covers and knuckle weights. some folk are finding the steering servo to be weak, mine "seems" fine as yet but a bereft hi-tec is on standby..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trxrincon Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Yup, I'm still using the standard servo, working fine at the min, had a few hick ups with the esc not switching on first time, takes 3 times in some cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
