  1. Very nice. Is this the one from AMain. Didn't seem to take too long, and hopefully the taxman was kind!
  2. Yeah, I guess so. I think he's tuning it to be more crawler focussed, hence the delete of it. He's also fashioned some sway bars using some piano wire and bomber sway bars - the torque twist looks much improved now. It certainly looks like a fun car, and is starting to tempt me into getting something with a bit more speed than my Sandero!
  3. Great job. Love the black and yellow. Are you calling it bumblebee? 😃 If you can't find the traxxas shocks, the ones off the element enduro platform are very good imo. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?product_id=445838
  4. Exocaged on youtube put 1m wt in his centre diff along with a silicon ear plug, but I think he's going to turn his into a crawler!
  5. I'd be really tempted, but it's a good four hour drive from me. Might have to wait till Recon g6 happens again. Anyone know if it will be happening this year?
  6. @Gaz! If you need a new home for the 1080, let me know 👍😉
  7. These are great, thanks Nick! Would love the python! 😍

    Hi, I'm after one of these, so thought I'd check on here before I buy new. Cheers!
  9. That is amazing. 👋 Did you do all the metal work on the bed yourself?
  10. He's probably brand new to PayPal.
  11. Hi, and welcome to the slippery slope of upgrading! I don't have a TRX4, so won't comment on any specifics in relation to the model, but my general advice would be to upgrade as it breaks. I was too quick to try and upgrade my Element enduro, and I probably spent more time worrying about what upgrades to get instead of enjoying it! Usual areas to upgrade would be - lowering the centre of gravity. Adding unsprung weight low down is a good way. - Tyres. I believe the traxxas tyres are quite capable, but depending on what you want to do with it, you could look at softer compound tyres. I have some proline BF Goodrich mud terrain in predator compound and they are very sticky! - ESC & Motor. There are lots of options, whether that be brushed or Brushless. I have a HW 1080p Esc paired to a Holmes Hobby Crawlmaster sport in mine, and it does great for what I need. Be sure to post some pictures too!
  12. I have 1, but in the process of building a second. She is not impressed that I have one and I have yet to convince her to have a go to see how much fun they are. I'm not sure I could get away with 9, nevermind ones as large as a xmaxx and trx6!
