RC4WD fan Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 So slow but steady pace is being made with the recovery build and been wondering if the is a way or part to cover the 3 holes on each side where the roll cage attaches to ? I had an idea of covering them with stickers and putting a bit of hot glue behind the sticker to stiffen it up a bit as I keep thinking of having no roll cage 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really it’s that effected by hot glue ? I’ve used hot glue on multiple poly body’s to do what you did and didn’t warp any of them back to the drawing board I suppose 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RC4WD fan Posted June 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2023 Almost finished the new body not sure if the roof rack will stay just have a couple of bits to do and had a change of plans on the recovery theme I’m looking at doing a different build for that 😁 but I do have a problem the nice experience wheels I have will not play ball 🙄 I can get them to screw down tight now but as they stick out a bit on full lock the tyres want to rip the body off so have to use the original wheels until I can think of something 🤔 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC4WD fan Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Can someone elaborate on this for me I’m trying to make lights up my self so far not going very well 🤣 I’m thinking of just getting these instead https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/traxxas-led-head-lights-tail-light-kit-for-trx-4-land-rover-425065 now has anyone got this set ? as all the traxxas light kits for the defender have the wrong light pattern on the front the top side lights appear to be orange I suppose because it’s an American company but the UK versions of the defender have white on top and the indicator on the bottom is that right on these light kits or is it just the pics ? also the kit linked has 2 connections 1 for power I assume but what about the other? would I be able to snip off the plugs and run them through the receivers 5v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 The lights are 3v and you need the power supply mentioned in your link (or another way of stepping down the voltage) https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/traxxas-led-lights-power-supply-regulated-3v-05-amp-trx-4-425025 as for the amber light in wrong place i never noticed lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Doesnt the original light buckets have holes for 3mm and 5 mm diodes ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but I brought some 3d printed ones that won’t fit properly on the rear with the cage on so I drilled 3/5mm holes in the original back plate thing it’s just the soldering small wires where it’s going south 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 To be honest i didnt pay much attention to them when taken off mine to fit the light kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC4WD fan Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I built mine withe the motor mounted in the C hole as per the manual and found it to make a hell of a noise and very tight mesh so moved it to the D hole 🤔(that sounds wrong 🤣) and now is really quiet and lovely and smooth dose help with the brushless motor it has 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC4WD fan Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Has anyone tried or have a cantilever suspension setup on their TRX4 ? seen a couple of companies making them for trx4’s as I want to change the body on mine to a pickup with a proper full bed and would need the cantilever suspension setup for it to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
