@@nhaxiong6661 drive shafts are just hobby park from Amazon, nothing special. Same with the axles, just scx10.2 parts

I want to do the same!

@@brianmassey7563 Is this what your talking about ruclips.net/video/kk_axZaM70I/видео.htmlsi=fZySNQTqUWO-Asme

Hello to you as well. I like my noise 🤘

It's a great spot, and it was a lot of fun that day!

Lots of grease from factory. I had to make a little brace for the c-hub to tie it to the pan hard mount as the c-hub screw would loosen and wear out the thread. I did make stainless diff and skid covers for the rock racing it's going to do

@@brianmassey7563 Many thanks for your answer!

So...Traction Hobby doesn't have a presence in the States, but I email Traction Hobby direct when I need spares/replacements if I can't find them on AliExpress. The axles are metal, but not machined so you can strip out holes and such. Rigs already come with brass on all 4 corners, and double on the front. I'm not sure why you would need more. So far I've upgraded to a Mamba Monster X and an 1/8th scale Castle motor. I've upgraded my shift servos to the waterproof TRX4 replacements. I run an NSDRC RS800V2. It's soo good. I'm not sure what else aftermarket you want, but the rig is pretty complete as is.

Just showing the difference between tires...5.75" vs 5.3".

And I originally ordered blue but there was a shipping mistake!

I'm not sure what the helicoil is

The spur cover comes off with 3 screws from the top, then you can remove the motor plate with 2 more.

@@brianmassey7563 cool, thank you! Appreciate the help brother!

I need to...made changes I'd like to talk about. So far it's been a lot of fun

Just used scx10 ii posts I believe....shock towers are scx10/element as well which allows for them

Glad you liked it

There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of information out there, at least from what I know of. I use the traction hobby Facebook group or just contact them directly. They seem to be more popular over in The greater China region, so a lot of information is not translated well or at all to English

@@brianmassey7563 thanks a lot, i will look for the facebook group.

Hopefully you don't have to re-mount them and can just leave them in

None really. I did mess with link length, but that was not really that necessary, but since they are portals it does raise the vehicle up a tad.

My downfall was that it was my first crawler, got it in the winter, and then had nothing to do but mod it, lol. After that it couldn't be left alone. It did great with the stock stuff. In fact, I might go back to the 35 turn stock motor.

I'm not sure I'd classify this as a budget truck though. It's up there with Vanquish $$, but at this scale, and with a good overall design and necessary upgrades out-of-th-box, it's a good value IMO.

@@brianmassey7563 by budget I meant helping to decide one good thing that works than spending in 10 different things to find out what works. Thats where your videos come in handy. I have yikong 6×6 with axe R2 3300. Isdt 800 watt PS and P30 smart charger. Wouldn't say I am a budget person necessarily. But now I see I would have preferred 1/8 scale over this. But now I don't have money to buy. Lol. Atleast not for some time. But when I do I am not sure should i go for traction hobby or yikong. Considering once you upgrade yikong with aluminium housing and wheels and respectable tires. It costs same. There aren't many good detailed comparisons between these two rigs on youtube. Mostly rc creators are in US and neither of these two rigs are yet popular there. Torque twist on yikong ( even in my 6×6) leaves much to be desired and also lack of selectable 2WD 4WD. And the motor mount system is not well thought in my opinion. It doesn't allow to less then 14 thooth pinion. I had to drill a hole in the mount to fit 12 tooth pinion. All of this can be sorted by fitting BRX drive train. Whereas with Traction hobby, its the availability of parts. Yikong sells fully assembled aluminium axles for 1/10 and 1/8 too. I might as well buy parts from different manufacturers and build my own rig.

@@RanjeetSingh-qt9yh nice! My yikong 4083 should arrive next week and I'll review that

Thanks. You might not be able to tell on video, but that hill just falls in to the rocky creek below, and it's no-joke. It's difficult to just walk up it to drive the rig. Always a fun spot. Thanks for the sub!

Hello

@@juanarturo9358 If you're asking which vehicle has compatible parts, it's basically an SCX10 version 1, and SCX10 2 parts should fit on it as well

@@brianmassey7563 thanks so much!!

I would buy a Traction Hobby product again for sure. I'll put together another video since it's been a while and I have made changes, as well as found some weak points, or at least areas of concerns.

Thanks. It was my first rig and I learned a lot while building it. It's a very stable crawler even though it's big and top heavy.

Glad you enjoyed

Thanks. Filming was kind of an afterthought since I needed to get wheel time with the cragsman

I believe in you! My mentor, The Water Boy, once said, "You can do it!".

I made that vid to show Traction Hobby that I was having an issue getting all the lights to work, LOL. It wasn't meant for entertainment :)

I found that out about 2 days ago. They fit so well you can't see any gaps and mine just press fit with a rubber o ring for friction.

@@brianmassey7563 I love the quality of TH Pro Comp wheels, best 2.2" true beadlock rc wheels with 40 functional screws on each wheel. I had to remount my wheels since they came not so well assembled and also as you noticed better check screws on chassi and prior of running but that goes for all RTR no matter brand.

Thanks! I'm going to do a follow-up soon with my impressions after driving and some upgrades I feel are necessary

I have been looking for bigger tires...but I haven't found much that would be noticeably larger in 2.2 crawler size. J concepts ruptures are 5.94" tall....could try those

@@brianmassey7563 that would look sick. Good job mate.
