Have a look of the TRX4M Facebook pages. I'm running these - https://chinahobbyline.com/collections/uk-warehouse/products/cnhl-ministar-series-850mah-7-4v-2s-70c-lipo-battery-with-xt30-plug?_pos=12&_fid=fce426781&_ss=c They are a direct drop in, unfortunately only available at the global warehouse currently. Hi Alex, dont do the facebook thing im afraid mate. did you order from this seller?? How was it? Did it cost a fortune in postage etc.?? thanks for the help though mate, appreciate it.

I think the CNHL aren't replenishing their UK stock anymore which sucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steephill Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) @Gaz! I wouldn't mind one. Love the body and the longer wheelbase. I do have four already. I may have to convince myself I need one. I'm pretty sure you'll love the tarantula chassis, very capable in my opinion Edited September 25, 2023 by steephill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steephill Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Just a quick comparison picture of furitek motor and the surpass motor. The surpass motor is huge. I'm even thinking of testing it without the low range gearing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a esc motor combo for the Trx4m just like the furitek. It slightly smaller than the stock brushed motor so I can't see there being any problems. I'll update when I'm done👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steephill Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Doesn't look as huge now😉. Still a big brushless motor for a Trx4m. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Alex97 Posted October 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2023 Fancied a bit of a change with my TRX4M, the hard body looks great however it's very top heavy so I'm swapping it out for the injora Tarantula paired with a set of 1.3" swamp crawl tires. Hopefully everything should arrive within a week or so. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Brightside Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 The injora Tarantula body makes TRX4M totally different car in a very good way.👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz! Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 Are they the canyon trail tyres or the BFGoodrich ones?? if they are the latter id be very interested, how much would you be after for them though mate?? shame about the body, im on the look out for one too. cheers mate.

steephill Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) 70mm tall injora claw tyres and 1.3" beadlocks. Stainless steel high clearance links and stainless drive shafts for a Trx4m high trail. I was going to fit these to my tarantula (the rears will be a straight fit but the fronts may need modifications to fit) but ended up buying a chevy k10 high trail. And the different front panel for the tarantula. Edited October 11, 2023 by steephill 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't come assembled. I used a 1.5mm driver and it was fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
