    Just bought two of these in order to get my son back into bashing! will be putting 3s straight on both & giving them a proper test, should be great fun. got both colours & the MT versions from BG.

    Trx4 gurus! Do I need a 3s? Do I use my 3s 5000mh stick from my granite or buy a small pack for the front? Like a trx2328x 3s 1500mh?

      2nd that on the stock servo of ours is still going, its in a different rig, but never died in the trx4, ran mine on an axe system with 6v set on the bec.
      You should be fine but a stronger servo transforms performance allowing you to pinch into corners and have more power and control with a 7.4v or stronger servo
      3s brings the rig to life, too fast go low range, still to fast, gear down on the pinion, but overall stock its amazing on brushless 😉

      I still have the stock servo with heavier wheels, brass portal covers and brass pumpkin and has been fine for a couple of years.  No doubt it will break now I have said that 😜

      I run a 11T Rocket 540 PLUS V2 brushed motor in my TRX4, with the two speed gearbox, which is about 2300kv compared to the 1850kv of the stock traxxas motor. I very much enjoy running it on 3S but have found for really technical trails sticking a massive 3S pack in the standard battery tray isn't as helpful as putting a smaller on up front. I just really wish they had made the front battery tray fractionally bigger so that a standard shorty pack would fit.

       

      For a servo I've got a 32kg JX HV7032MG brushless model which I'm probably only getting 26kg out of as I've left the BEC voltage at 6.0V in case I fry the micro servos used to switch the gearbox and diffs.

    Currently listening to a group I missed out on the 90’s & 2000’s “Tool” very very good, love em.

    Just bought one from appliance electronics for £502.55 I think that’s a pretty decent price for a full fat TRX-4 👍👍👍
  9. Bigjimknickers

    I’ve had a deadbolt, I’ve had a sendero, now I want a new crawler, I think I’m too fussy for FTX should I just go for the Trx4 sport or full fat?

    would an SCA-1e scratch my itch or is that lesser quality over my previous?

      I’m a bit gutted, looking at ftx outbacks now as it’s annoyed me. 😂

      Kpowell911

      £5 more for a 10th scale is a no brainer! And its got bearings haha

  15. Bigjimknickers
    So am I right in saying the better version is the hbx pro? This comes BL & with oil filled shocks compared to the ftx tracer?
  16. Bigjimknickers
    Got a notification for this yesterday, probably in store only though? Shame as there is no more LHS for me in Guildford! All gone years ago.
  17. Bigjimknickers
    I’ll read the whole thread when I have time, in the meantime what is the general opinion on this model? Worth buying or money pit?
  18. Bigjimknickers

    Guys- the FTX DR8- opinions? Rubbish or  decent budget basher? Running on 6s.

    Quite fancy a nitro savage, I remember listing my mint 3.5 years ago for about £120 & couldn’t sell it! They seem to be mental prices for old cr4p! & as for new- well Jesus wtf happened to these prices!!£530 for a savage x 4.6!

      Thats an E-Savage ..... Brushless will chew that drivetrain up in no time.

       

      I'm fortunate in that I have 2 nitro Savages, both heavily upgraded, and both actually quite capable trucks. But they do need to have money put into them to get them good.

      By the time you have beefed up the gearbox, upgraded the diffs and driveshafts, deleted the rear uprights, improved the silly axle nuts and put in decent servos....fixed the low tank lean running and...er....yeah. On one of mine I ended up with a Twinzilla kit running a pair of .28 nitros....

      i bought a savage for £60, spent about £60 making it mint and sold it bidding on ebay expecting £150 and it went for nearly £300, it was a x4.6, but not the newer ones with the square body.  that was last summer! crazy. 

  20. Bigjimknickers
    Just checking if anyone has a savage laying about with not a lot of use on it, must be original! 👍
  21. Bigjimknickers

    My fleet- took the Vespa for an mot yesterday then decided to take the NC out to look at a few jobs rather than my 2.2 transit custom, doing 29mpg…
  23. Bigjimknickers
    I’ll be honest, I like the looks, love the colour, but it’s a commuter bike & not really for me, I’m looking at trading it in in the spring I just don’t know what for. possibly a Tracer 900 or an MT-07 I’ve heard they are nuts! nothing is really catching my eye at the mo.
  24. Bigjimknickers
    Any help with the photo appreciated !

    On the subject of Honda.. went to a customers house last year & saw this tucked away in the garage, flat tyres, no mot, all dusty, turned out it was her late husbands & one day she’d sell it. A deal was done, fresh fuel, my Gts battery was swiped & took my 6-1 compressor & hey ho! I’m a proud owner of a DCT NC750x 2017!
