Yes, they made a big hum har about their proprietary port or lack there of fusion has no sensor port, axe sensor has a unique plug, axe v1 and v2 have different plugs so you cant use an axe v1 motor with a v2 esc. 3 hours ago, RC4WD fan said: You do like to make your TRX4 swim though don’t you ? that’s not for me just a little wet mud is about all I can tolerate 🤣 but if these don’t work out or last longer I’ll look at getting something with a long warranty don’t mind paying more money for one I’m trying to get the best electrics I can afford for the TRX4 👍 If you want the best servo, you might want to look at the holmes hobbies 4/3s servos, they pack some serious power for some big money.

RC4WD fan Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Anyone have any ideas on this with the new shell I have I’m trying to figure out a way to make the back windows into panels rather than windows I could just not put the stickers on but the concave would irate me if it was hard plastic would be easy solution 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s another defender👍 the purple one is getting a little bit on my nerves just a little bit though I have tamiya dark gunmetal sitting on the shelf for it but something in the back of my head is saying get a different colour 🙄 I’m doing a 4x4 off road recovery theme on the new one 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC4WD fan Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) it’s going to be like this with the rear windows as a panel as its flat but being a dark colour and will have some sort of branding and the exo cage on might not be as bad as I’m imagining it Edited May 11, 2023 by RC4WD fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
