Ok centre of wheel to centre of wheel is approx 310mm yea i am genuinely shocked in a good way with what i got, another thing it has is front and back seats, dash and steering wheel inside too, not the most detailed but its there

I am using the proline brute bash body, it cannot be painted but you can get sticker kits for it, its what i did for mine. 1 thing i would say though is i messed up to begin with when i put the stickers on and as some have come off i have wiped the body down with brake cleaner and used adhesion promoter second time round and now they stay on! This is the body i have and its indestructible https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/proline-pre-cut-brute-bash-armour-body-white-307537/ there is also a black 1 that wasnt around when i bought mine https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/proline-precut-brute-bash-armor-black-body-371777/

I have seen on aliexpress a 6x6 landrover made by austarhobby with a very detailed shell that again looks trx6 compatible, there is another too yikong i think the brand is for the same sort of money which is £380ish but when there is deals on it will come down but have no experience of it so dont know if its any good, it certainly looks good though. will measure the wheelbase when i go outside to my workshop

Original wheels just look like beadlocks, tyres feel nice n soft though

I thought he has was on about set screws, not actual screws

Had some used axle armour laying around, that went on too decided to have a look inside the steering servo and was pleasantly surprised what i found, even had teeny orings on the screws i also had lying around some soft sweep tyres and weighted fastrax wheels and this is what it looks like now I am really surprised at what i got for the price, this has a winch that appears to be capable to pull the weight of the vehicle, side lights, headlights, roof light, indicators which are even on the mirrors, brake light and reverse lights, you can turn all the lights completely off or on from the transmitter, 2 speed gearbox with metal gears everywhere and trx4 compatibility for spares so its got a lot going for it and a 1/3 of the price as the trx4! Ok i dont think the model on the whole is waterproof and the transmitter doesnt have servo reversing but it was £130 to my door, its a no brainer!

I seen this on a deal on aliexpress from £130 delivered to me and apart from aaa batteries for the control it was properly rtr, i was a bit skeptic as you know the saying if its too good to be true it probably is, but this thing is an exception to this, for the price its well made, well put together and all in its decent, so this is what i received for my money which you have probably seen already i tried it outside and its pretty good, get a fast walking pace on high range and nice n slow on low and a decent trail truck, but being the hobby we cannot leave them alone for long, first mod was my favourite yipin 80kg servo which could have been a no go as 1 thing this truck doesnt have is a servo reverse switch which never occurred to me until i thought i may need it, but luckily both servos went the right way next was a cheap foc Hobbywing 2 in 1, no point buying a motor that cost the same as the truck is there, i was pleasantly surprised with a metal spur gear, 1 thing though is the original motor shaft and a big bevel on it so the pinion would not swap across, i had the oe pinion from the trx4 so fitted that and reassembled, the way the motor is held in place and the way you mesh pinions is exactly the same as the trx4 i had some brass stuff for the trx4 which i had swapped out from heavier so tried them on, perfect fit so this car has locked front and rear diffs and since the brass fitted perfectly thought i would compare a trx4 axle, looks the same to me, even has blanks where the shift cables go through

It has a 2 speed gearbox, if i am understanding correctly, if the locking diffs dont fit in the axles, the axles themselves are a direct swap, i was wanting to do some testing today, but again things have gotten in the way

mistake

I have 1 of these in green up in the loft, its a fast little thing for inside use

Aint it, same spec as a trx4 sport but with lights and a winch out of the box, and apparently all the main parts are cross compatible. I am going to a hobbywing foc motor, fit a more powerful steering servo and change the wheels and tyres and should be just as capable as my trx4, i do have some weighted parts and will see if these fit but not sure of yet

Well not today but since Wednesday, i have been away on a course for work and came back to this haul, 1/5 scale servo, normal sized servo, a 50mm rocket fan, rear drive shaft guards and some meshes for the fan and this, seen it on aliexpress special for £130 total delivered to me so just thought why not

Well chopdechop and get it bought then, you know you want too!

Yup you def have a lot of fun with that especially being rwd

Thats really big!

But £1300 for a 2 wheel drive car seems kinda expensive to me, does look smart though

Thats really cool looking, whats the body like?

You know something, i haven’t broken anything with these wheels on

I have had 2 louise tyres fail on me after the originals failed, then got a set of jconcept magmas, put tape around the foams and have had many many packs with them and they have been faultless, would say they are better than the louise tyres for lasting

I am much the same with my trx4, only thing that failed was the gears in a shift servo, bought replacement gears and 3 power hd ones, repaired the servo and put it in a parts box with the other 2 and fitted the power hd ones, apart from that a single bearing and thats it

Yes its definitely worth getting, body never came off once today. Big thumbs up from me for this part

I have always found with on road cars is trying to find a decent place to drive them, i do like an on road car, they look cool but a pebble can make them flip, an uneven road surface will really mess up the front, sides and rear of the body, and when they do end up upsides down it fairly quickly messed up/puts holes in the body, off road can drive on road but not the other way around, and kerbs are not an rc cars friend! That being said if you guys want minis you go for it, im sure you will have lots of fun with them, then you will try an off road and never hardly drive them on road ones anymore (is so much more fun) in my eyes anyway

Sorry if this may sound dumb, but they arent just covers are they?

I think i mentioned this before on this thread, i am going to take a guess at sandy stuff getting between the bash block and the shaft and over time has worn the shaft away until it was so weak it snapped
