You know what Andy, I might not say too much on here all that often, but I do alot of reading. This is the exact conclusion I've come to! This is currently in my basket on ebay.. I'm going to hold off for a week, just see if any discount codes come through or the seller offers a reduced price, every little helps 😉. But the idea of going brushless was more of a vanity project tbh, and after watching the some pro's and con's comparison videos the only real thing about the brushless setup is the water proofing, but that doesnt mean your bearings etc are.. I love the fact this forum always carries the voice of reason too! 👌🏻✌🏻 Thanks for the compliments on the photos too gents! They're more the handy work of the mrs than me, but I'm going to try and improve my skills. Thanks again gents, it's really appreciated!

So gents.. I'm back after many many hours of fun on the chase, aswell as convincing my bro to get him and his lad rc's and a couple of pals into crawling.. 🙆🏼‍♂️ So have done some more mods and rebuilt all the shocks etc and tbh I'm really impressed with how it climbs now. Although theres room for improvement but im not in no hurry to empty my wallet into it now. However, I bought my nephew a 3650kv brushless setup, so his vantage was faster than his dads carnage 😜. But thought I've had to buy myself a a brushless setup too... I ended up going with this one. However should have read into it more as I punched it once and popped the esc... might try and see what's popped and try and repair it for another car instead, but I thought I'd ask the question here to see what you guys would recommend brushless-wise? I know about the axe systems but dont really want to throw 200 nuts at it. Would something along the 150A esc be better suited? As I'm not too clued up on the whole leccy business to be brutally honest. But unless a used axe system comes up (which I doubt will happen) I wont be buying one in a hurry ☹ I'm going to have a look through the electrics section and try to educate myself but being a crawler I understand the drag brake settings have to be specific and the punch settings etc.. But Hey-Ho any advice is welcomed as it's all new to me 👍🏻✌🏻 Pics for attention 😁

Update! This is evil! 🤣🤣 Might have to buy myself another fast basher now.. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Yer that wouldn't be so fun tbf 🤣 thanks guys really appreciate the help! 🙏🏻✌🏻

I thought this initially, but dont want the thing to go up in smoke with zero run time.. 🤣 I'm just having a google translate conversation with the manufacturer atm but if that breaks down I'm up for giving it a go 👌🏻✌🏻 Thanks for taking the time to reply @.AJ.

So my brother bought his son the FTX Vantage as a present, but knows nothing about the hobby, so he ended up with the brushed version.. I said to my nephew I'd have a look at some mods for him, ended up, refilling and sealing all the shocks, swapped the factory 3kg servo for the stock one out of my trx4 and bought the above mentioned brushless setup to spice it up a bit.. 😁 This is my problem.. I've installed it, as the very minimal instructions directed me to, but the polarity of the motor is opposite as it's ok in reverse settings on the stock tx. It goes well like that, but when reversing, it's like a bat out of hell!🦇 Is there a way of reversing the polarity without frying the ESC, or using a program card that I cant seem to find for sale, for love nor money. Any advice will be hugely appreciated and will make a certain 10 year old boy very happy. Thanks in advance, Josh Pic is of the current setup, and how its connected.

That was 125g a wheel on the fronts 😬 I dont mind it losing trail-ability as long as it improves its crawling, but at the same time dont want to hammer the drive train to bits. They are the RCBitz taped strips, 2x 45g strips and 4x 80g strips in the set. I was thinking 80g on the fronts and 45g on the backs but if any other setup would be better fire it at me as I'm brand new to this lark lol.

Cheers Stimpy, 👌🏻 I could do with a nudge tbh, I've had the beadlock and 3 stage foams turn up today, and not sure what to do weight wise though.. I was going to put them on as instructed on the packet (125g front, 75g rear ) but unsure now on whether to weight just the fronts or do them all.. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Any knowledge/experience you fancy sharing? Cheers Andy, I think I'm going to look for a 20kg WP servo now and that's it for a while. I'll look at the led light set and ess one in the future but I'm in no hurry now. Thanks again skin 👌🏻 Hi Rob, They do look the mutts nuts in my eyes, I was only planning on spending £200 on a starter rig then someone offered me this beast! Did some reading up, as I'd never seen or heard of it before and that was it, I was thinking how I could keep it under wraps from her indoors. 😬 I'd have liked to built the kit, looks and feels really well made compared to some rc cars I've had I the past, I'm thinking possibly a sport kit in the future..? Orite Carl, I have only gone with the wheel weights atm as I'd like to do the portals and c brackets etc.. all in one go, which wont be for a while now due to funding.. 😥 Also I've only kept the tray as living next to the chase, I plan on doing a fair bit of trailing hence the 4000mah, I'm trying to find a way to strap the smaller 2200mah's to the front of the chassis. I've not seen that with the motor I'll have to have a search and read👍🏻I have seen the servo mod switching the rear and front diff lockers around on the settings which I'm contemplating tbh and the canyons tyres mod which I've done and put the sipes in the tyres too. Cant wait to get out there properly now! 😬

This is about as scale as it gets, detail looks immense! You've got my attention.. 👀

Cheers Stimpy 👍🏻 It's good to know that's somewhere in the average price for them. Seems a pretty capable rig tbh for a stocker, I haven't had a proper play yet but I only live ten mins away from cannock chase, so I'll be up there as soon as the lockdown eases up! I missed the defenders coming out really, when I used to run the 5b and the virus 2.0 the trx4 wasnt released I dont think.. So when I was bored and stumbled back across the forum, I checked the crawlers section, saw the D110 and caught the bug again.. Trust me though the noise levels are enough to deal with on a normal day, food is the only thing buying me some quiet time atm 😁

Cheers gents, I'm loving the knowledge this forum has! So as the title suggests, I've been wanting to get into crawling for some time now but due to other cash drains (kids & her indoors..) Its just not happened until I saw this TRX4 for sale. Firstly it's the D110 which is a big massive yes from me! Even in respect that the shell is a slight draw back, it still looks the business in my eyes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all.. It cost me the round sum of £350 sterling, which may be a little much second hand but it was 10 mins away from me, had a lipo and had the can upgraded to the RC4WD 27T crawler motor. So I figured it's a starting point, this is how "Bertha" turned up.. All pretty stock,but I did like the chequered plating on the front wings.. Then these turned up.. 😬 Not much mod-wise yet, but there were a few basics I was missing from being out of the RC world for a while so thought I'd concentrate on a goot setup first. That said I do have a few more shiny thing winging there way to me atm. The only real mod I've done so far is I ballsed up the battery tray measurements by a couple of mm on width so I ended up shaving down the original tray to suit.. It all fits snug now with the 4000mah (I bought for trailing), the 2200mah's fit nicely in the well of the tray and when the battery holder is flipped to the 23mm side it holds them sweet too! Two birds, one stone.. The other things I've done so far are more scale than performance. I've added Ebay limb risers (quite a good kit for only a tenner..), had a 29cm CB lookalike ariel, made a buddy rope and moved the jack to the roof rack to fit the cb ariel. Next on the list of things ordered, I've ordered a set of Vanquish copies from China, that are on the boat right now. I've also purchased some wheel weights, I'm not sure about using then now after reading about rotational weight being a mare for the drive train, but just can afford to add weight in the form of portal weights etc atm. What are people thoughts on some weight in the wheels, as it's something I've never done myself before.. Also there's a bottle of Core RC 100cSt in the post aswell to give the shocks a re-vamp as they're really stiff and sticky atm. Lastly for now, I was looking at tyres and the hyrax's were the one's I had my eyes on ,due to all the good reviews. But then I saw the mod you can do to the standard traxxas canyons so thought I might give this a go today to see the difference. Think I've covered everything apart from I want to change out the steering servo and horn but that seems pretty standard on the TRX4's. Hope I haven't bored you guys, just thought I'd get involved. 🤘🏻 P.S standard obligatory flex pics..

Just thought I'd say; this is an awesome looking build! Great looking colour scheme too! 👌🏻🤘🏻

Cheers @stimpy I honestly dont know about the can, all I know is what it's got on the outside of the can, 27T RC4WD Crawler Motor. I did flip the bullets over after I was done yesterday to test it, there feels like alot more control now with the the polarity reversed.. The plan was to wait till this can dies then look at a HH/Hw1080 setup the standard esc doesnt seem bad but everyone seems to rate the 1080. I'll post up about the truck later on when the kids are in bed. Thabks again Stimpy 👌🏻👍🏻

Orite chaps, I've been on the forum for a while now but only recently got into crawling from 1/5th scale petrol and 1/8 scale nitro, but I'm brand new to electric setups bar an old TT01 I had many many moons ago, hence the TRX4 thread.(which I'll write up abit later on) Just a quick noobie question for now.. I set the XL5HV esc up to the 70/30 trigger config. And whilst reprograming the endpoints I noticed the throttle and reverse were backwards to what was mentioned in the programming guide. Would this point to the motor being soldered up to the wrong polarity? Also if I change the bullet connectors over in the pic shown, it shouldn't do any damage to anything else once the endpoints are reset again? Thanks in advance.

Sorry bud, I've brought the charger off strech (was in a hurry, I cant run until it gets here, and I'm dying to get out on the chase! Whilst her indoors walks the hound) Thanks though for getting in touch, its appreciated 👍🏻 Can Admin please close the thread? Taa

As above just getting into crawling with a trx4 D110, just checking whether anyones selling a 3s lipo balance charger (or any mods/upgrades for the trx) could recommend somewhere to get one without breaking the bank? Any help/nudges in the right direction are hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance.

sorry dude meant the rolling chassis as i'd be after a sensored programable esc and 10.5T motor this is the link to what i was thinking of; http://www.soulrc.com/ms-01d-s-version-1-10-electric-rc-drift-car-chassis.html but the combo i'd be looking for would ideally be about

Hi gents, been off the seen for a while due to selling my baja i lost interest but have decided to get an MS01-D RTR from Soul RC and was wondering what people rate electrics wise as in what motor ESC combo's and any must do upgrades? The RTR now comes with a cs 1.58 ratio and a FOW anything you lads would suggest deal-wise though as i say i buried my head in the sand for a few months and it feels like starting again Thanks In Advance gents, Josh

Lovin' the harlequin bruv!! looking smart as ****

Nice sliding lads! I've gotta get myself a an ms01d been looking around after buying the clone (and it being pants) how much am I looking at to buy one from soul as the silvia looks smarts man good job

SOLD Please Close
