Lone-wolf Posted May 12, 2024 Share Posted May 12, 2024 The hi trail F-150 now has the Injora 48t 180 motor, and the -32% metal gears, have to say it was a lot easier to do than i had expected, runs sweet and smooth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steephill Posted May 13, 2024 Share Posted May 13, 2024 Fitted a battery tray with a receiver/ esc mounting plate on the IR40. I was going to make something but I found this from Injora, about 8 quid. I didn’t really like the esc on show on the rear. Comes with two lengths of aluminium posts for different thickness batteries. The top plate has several mounting positions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just didn't look right with the esc on the truck bed. Plenty of room to hide it in the cab. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first saw them on eBay from Injora, but i also have one coming and yes for my Ir40, i was hoping that it would be a nice fit in the cab. answered that one for me, thanks mate 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted May 14, 2024 Share Posted May 14, 2024 Injora MB100 esc question, where are you guys mounting the RX in conjunction with this esc, i figure i will make a plasticard mount for the esc, just not sure where RX is gonna fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use radiolink mini receivers for the mini crawlers, dumbo do them too. Injora do a double deck battery tray, plenty of room for the esc mentioned and a normal size receiver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have plenty of room in your F150 cab👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz! Posted May 15, 2024 Author Share Posted May 15, 2024 Very impressive mate as always, another sweet build!! i love how “tuneable “ these little trucks are, little changes can make a world of difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post steephill Posted May 15, 2024 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2024 Got some Injora +4mm diamond axles to try. I've fitted the brass hubs that come with the extra weights. And overdrive the front. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted May 16, 2024 Author Share Posted May 16, 2024 Saw them on Injora site, my the do look sweet as!! Is everything free and smooth?? Only thing i saw was it would benefit the carbon chassis more than a stock Trx4m chassis with that servo. salavating now in anticipation to see what these go under, that 2 speed gearbox would tie in nicely with your axles 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steephill Posted May 16, 2024 Share Posted May 16, 2024 (edited) @Gaz!@Gaz! Lovely and smooth. All the injora trx4m axles I've got have been the same. The laydown servo doesn't work with stock or the injora lcg chassis according to the injora site. They do a Trx4m universal chassis that works with the lay down servo for all Trx4m's (apparently). I managed to get a laydown servo on my tarantula, took a little work. I think I'm going to try the diamond axles on the kangaroo first. Worst case scenario I'll cut the front rails off partially. Does your lad have yeah racing shocks on his tarantula? Edited May 16, 2024 by steephill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Brightside Posted May 16, 2024 Share Posted May 16, 2024 @steephill One of the main reasons I went with standard Injora +4mm because you have do work to the tarantula. I couldn't be doing that 🤣 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
