Tyres look mint👍 I really like the steel wheels. It's very similar to the steel wheels I used on off roaders.

Quite funny, don't forget to put your seat belt on....

Fixed it 👍 looks good 👍

SSD parts are very good👍 I like how the boxes turn in to a garage diorama. Are you using the bumper in the picture? Looks like it protrudes a bit to much.

21 quid direct from Injora. My last order arrived in five days.

The kraken claw tyres are very good too. I have recently put a set on my Trx4 defender, same compound as the other injora tyres I mentioned, very sticky. I'm pretty sure the kraken claw are a few mil taller.

I used to hate Injora tyres, but they have upped their game. I recently bought some of these... https://www.injora.com/products/injora-swamp-claw-1-9-m-t-tires-4-120-42mm They are very grippy for rocks and as a trail tyre. The other tyres I use and rate highly are... https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/fastrax-110-crawler-rocko-19-scale-tyres-inserts-2-1330583 I've got several sets of those tyres and trust me, they are good all round. I've had loads of more expensive tyres and they aren't worth it. You are paying for a brand name, or scale looks ( I get the scale look thing. I rate jconcepts ruptures highly, a very good tyre for crawling but also a good trail tyre.

A short video of one of the tawny owls watching a badger before it flys off. Finally dry weather so the owls will be out hunting for sure.

Thanks 👍. It's an stl file. If you could help that would be great.

I use lithium grease. I have plenty from working on off road bikes, so that's the only reason I use that. The sticky grease is probably good for ring and pinion diff gears, less likely to fling off.

Here's Another. Injora cherokee cage body. Initially bought this body for a Trx4. You would need to cut down the side plates or fabricate something to fill the gap. I sat the body on one of my lcg rigs and it looked like an easy fit. I used an injora cherokee front bumper, scx10 injora side plates, magnetic mounts on the front and a basic hinge on the rear. There's a huge void at the rear of the cab. There is a part that can be 3d printed. If anyone could help me out with that please let me know. I'm going to use a offcut of lexan.

@Lone-wolf @Stormbringer Thanks👍 I'm not really a fan of the full throttle method but that particular bit is very slippy, even for the sticky tyres. Some times you have to give it full beans

A few videos

Finished off for now the Trx4m IR40. There's plenty of room under the body to hide the esc. A bracket above the battery tray would be ideal. The injora esc is super smooth low down, after another test today I'm happy with it and will definitely get another. The clipless body is good, I had to file a little off the injora carbon chassis to fit front bumper and the rear hinge nothing major.

Finished off, well for now the Trx4m IR40 truck and gave it a little test on my very slippy in a lot of places crawler course. Looks fairly dry in the picture, but there's loads of moss and damp.

I've given the injora esc a little test. Very nice so far. I've only used a 2s lipo so far. They are 3s capable. I had the crawler gears in the gearbox with the Injora 48t motor. The low down control is very good, I'll have to give it a comparison to the hobbywing but I'm sure it's smoother. Really nice looking compact esc. I saw a YouTube video a good few months ago and the first version of version needed some improvement. I left it a while until I thought it was sorted. I definitely recommend one for your Trx4m, ax24, fcx24 or other mini crawler. I'm probably going to get a few more. I'll try and get some videos on my crawler course.

@Lone-wolfThanks mate 👍. Went together very nice. I'm really liking the traxxas trx4m & Trx4 bodies, particularly the Ford and chevy trucks.

@Gaz! That's brilliant mate, great job👍

Nearly finished the Injora IR40 truck. A bit of soldering and fit the driveshafts. I've used a injora defender carbon chassis, bronco / defender length links front and rear with a few mil of spacing. I'm going to get longer rears, they'll fit no problems. Looks pretty good. Need to solder a Traxxas Trx4m motor connector back on the motor to connect it to the injora esc.

Nearly finished the Injora IR40 truck. Looks pretty cool with the big 70mm tyres.

Fitted some brass parts to one of the trx4s. Portal weights and diff covers. Both injora and fit perfectly.

Looking amazing! Good job👍

You may need to try a smaller pinion gear. Sounds like the esc is drawing to many amps. Volt up, gear down 👍.

Removing the chrome from the bumpers, mirrors, grill and roll bar on my Trx4. I did this on my Trx4m and it worked great. It's looking like some parts are black, so that's good and the rest will be getting painted black.

Desert lizard 110mm shocks. I really like those shocks, got several sets. The 110mm are for trying out on my Trx4 high trail, gonna see what it looks like lowered on 1.9s. A set of injora steel deep dish wheels, Trx4 bumper posts and some black wheel nuts, 10 for about £2.50 ish, good value and good wheel nuts.
