Sharing some more reflections on the new upgrades after I had some drive time with them : Shocks: At first I thought the shocks might be too soft, but they give really cool realistic movement out on the trail. They feel like more in a droop style setup. So overall, really like them. Wheels: The tires are narrower, but a tad taller than the stock tires but they fit perfectly with no wheel rub. Need a bit of wearing in, but the foams are stiffer so they can hold up the 700 g of weight that I added, but dig in places where I need it. AND they look super scale, which is a bonus. And yes, I do need to rotate the driver's side tires - apparently the tread needs to run backwards on that side?! Servo: The TrackStar TS910 servo that I had in there was quite good already, but the new one has about 100oz/in more torque, and is waterproof already (vs. having to waterproof the other one myself). Same price range for both. I think overall, really happy with the new setup!
How do the shocks work compared to the desert lizards and the standard ones? I have been fiddling with the standard ones to reduce the "stiction" as much as possible without having them leak. Just wondering what the others are like? Great vid as always!
www.rubitrux.com/pub/media/catalog/product/cache/0203a3ce39d0f2a50de84c12f1a55394/c/u/custom-jeep-wrangler-mango-tango-aev-snorkel-273029.jpg Think this is how the tires are supposed to be set up. That's how I see them on real trucks, at least.
Adding the same strength shock oil (30w) to both front and rear shocks seems to have really lowered my rig at the rear. Perfect at the front. Any suggestions? Different shock oil strength?
Love how realistic it looks, wish mine was that good looking, charging my battery and going to do some lockdown night crawling in the garden in good old Cape Town ;)
See's brand new RC Girl video in notifications with TRX4 in the title. Me: "I really shouldn't watch that, it always makes me spend money on my TRX after I'm done." Watches anyway.
Love that you are still posting TRX4 content... Makes me want to run mine more. Could you do a build or even just a highlight on how to get the TRX4 suspension to be feature more realistic articulation? Thanks. Great job with the channel BTW
Sorry to be offtopic but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost the password. I would love any tricks you can offer me
@Kylo Callum i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Them rims look real nice with those tires. With the nuts, gives them just the right amount of flair! Looked like they were pretty good on the trail/ course.
A new vid from RC Girl? Instant mouse click. The RC4WD Goodyear Wrangler MT/R Tires are on my list to replace the stock tires on my Capra. The 3-piece alloy bead-lock wheels I added to my TRX-4 Sport are also a pain to get properly fitted. I found after adding wheel weight to my TRX-4 the blue Pro-Line closed-cell 'crawler' foams helped immensely in the front tires. Flexible OD tread, but no more 'fold-over' when turning Left or Right.
Great job I guess you didn't like the yeah racing shocks you put on there the first time? . I love your videos. I also enjoy RC flying and crawling so your channel is perfect
Your servo horn is rubbing during suspension compression. Traxxas makes an aluminum horn that drops down just like the stock plastic horn for clearance.
Wow nice...I'll try and copy most of what you upgraded to or similar parts. How about your motor and esc when are you going to do that? You mentioned you will change some time.
You know, one of the things I really like about your channel is the lack of an intro/title/logo. you just jump in and start. Very refreshing these days to not have to skip the first 30 seconds of blahblahblah. Keep it up!
Awesome upgrades love the wheel and tire combo 👍🏻 keep us informed about the shocks ive got my eye on a pair at my local hobby shop CEN CAL HOBBIES in Modesto 💯
Also, I enjoy hearing about your personal review on the product at the end of the video, for instance how the shocks compared to the previous setup, your view on the tyres after tested as well as how the servo responded. Thank you
I purchased the Traxxas TRX4 crawler kit. This will be my first rc car. I'm looking forward to building it. I'm amazed how upgradeable these are. Looking forward to doing some crawling pretty soon.
Whoa.. Now your TRX-4 is REALLY fully decked out.. :D Nice work! ( you know, watching your videos costs me money.. LoL! Now I have to upgrade my shocks too.. :D ) Happy Holidays, Cheers!
Great info to follow a great install and run vid. For some reason I enjoy watching the install videos, it's almost as therapeutic as doing it myself. Thanks for the content, helps a bit with being stuck home. Be well and stay safe.
I’m fairly new to the 1/10 scale trucks. And it’s kinda overwhelming when it comes to upgrading electric parts. With that in mind, will the 35kg servo you displayed work for my TRX4 Bronco steering as a 270 degree? Or do I need the 180 degree? The stock servo is struggling to turn my wheels when crawling in extreme conditions and when the front diff is locked. Thank you RC-Girl...
I actually take your extraordinary rc expertise into high consideration;what would be the best set up for a jjrc willy’s Jeep?...I mean I looked at so many videos of guys who advanced it in their own way -but that there are flaws they mentioned along the driving process afterward🤷🏽♂️...I see that you’ve got such a wide range of Rc experiences pertaining to trial and error and you know your parts very well ,so I’d love to hear/read what you have to say about a dope jjrc willy’s Jeep setup please!?🤔
hi RC Girl, i have question regarding wheel base conversion for TRX4, if you wanna go shorter can it be reduce according to your liking (more options) or is has only an option and that is from 324 mm to 312mm only? thanks
I have bought the exact same dampers for my TRX-4 Defender. I am not that pleased with them. They leak oil, and almost faster than I can refill them. Well it's not THAT bad, but They leak a lot. After each time I use the car, I have to refill the shocks.
What is the benefit of putting in ur shocks? I have a TRX-4 kit but never put oil in the shocks & not sure if I should. Also, with ur truck being so heavy, have you ever run air filled tires like the G-made or another brand? What are thoughts & impressions?
I've had all the shocks that RC4WD makes and they're some of the worst performing shocks out there imo. They always leak sooner than later. The stock TRX4 shocks are far superior to them. If you want awesome dual spring shocks, pick up a set of Venture stock shocks. Some of the best shocks on the market
I put together a shock, I used a 100 weight silicone oil, it dampened much better than 30 weighr , --- at least for the heavy rc truck I installed it on. . .
Hey RC Girl, did you have any issues with these shocks leaking? I think they look great and I love how realistic they perform but I don’t want to have to tear into them every couple of trips to put oil in.
Awesome Video. Questions about the servo installation: was the servo wire long enough without having to extend it? Also, did you fit it without an external BEC?
You have inspired me to build my niece a crawler for her birthday later this year in October! (She was born on Halloween and turns 13 this year!! I will have to put one of your stickers on it.
You should be very proud of your finished product. I noticed on the trail the tires were articulating while the cabin remained steady without stagecoach bounce and roll. Also, your tire selection, along with your shocks were brilliant. Really impressive - nicely done.
I want to know is this video and videos like this an advertisement for company's who make these parts or do these parts she is putting on the truck make it better for competition? Are these super expensive parts just for looks? Is she getting these parts for free from the company to promote to us?
Yeah I kind of just wrapped the vid without sharing my thoughts hah! At first I thought the shocks might be too soft, but it gives really cool realistic movement out on the trail. Kind of more in a droop style setup. So overall, really like them. The tires are narrower, but a tad taller but they fit perfectly with no wheel rub. Need a bit of wearing in, but the foams are stiffer so they can hold up the 700 g of weight that I added, and dig in place I need it to. And they look super scale. The Trackstar TS910 servo that I had in there was quite good, but the new one has about 100oz/in more torque. I think overall, really happy with the setup!
Hey RC Girl. That a sick new setup. I have the same weights setup you have from Yeah Racing and upgrade mine to 2.2 wheels but those tires seem working perfectly for 1.9. Love your new aluminum rims colour and the fact you can see the nuts because the 120 little screws are not something you want doing them all the times. My old one were similar but needed removing 6 little screws in middle each times to tighten or remove wheels and those screws breaking easily more you touch them. Your new servo seem handles the weight that a challenge to find out what servo work best with extra low gravity weights. I have the TRX 400 and I wish never bought it. Not good at that weight added. My next servo is going to be Reef’s RC RAW 500. I will let you know how that going when I will do the switch. Very nice rig. Cheers
Been looking at these shocks for a while for my trx4 defender, you have just made my mind up for me, i will be get these shocks. Awesome video Hayley and thanks for the tip on greasing those collars. 👍🏻👍🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻😃
I had no idea of the level of customization on an RC off road truck. Everything looks like full size equipment. The shock tuning would be a lot of fun. I’m an electrical specialists on the T38 jets for the Air Force. So, I love to tinker with electronics. I was looking for a new hobby and was thinking RC would be cool, I had no idea how cool . I first saw the RC airplane now this. So cool.

haha!! sorry!!
@@RCGirl No worries. It's not like I wasn't going to order some front and rear Metal bumpers for mine anyway. ;)
@@SternLX aw man, I need those too!!
Very nice upgrades seems to be working well and looks great. I may have to look into those shocks ✌🏼😃👍🏼 thanks for sharing and stay safe!

Those dual rate shocks are much better than those piggyback ones you IMO

Tires and rims look great 👍😎
💪🏾💯🚀🔥... i need a video every day lol... nothing but time now 😄
Its not leaking anything?? nah that aint a landrover
Wow nice...I'll try and copy most of what you upgraded to or similar parts. How about your motor and esc when are you going to do that? You mentioned you will change some time.
Not bad it seems.
I will try
Thanks for sharing!
Great vid!!! Glad to see you post agsin!!!!
So many more vids in the pipeline!! Just need to find the time. Thanks for your patience!
Amazing video👍
Nice one.
I like your trx4 better now, and dual springs looks to be a good upgrade, even if the stock shocks were not bad at all.
Yeah true, the stock shocks are actually quite good.
Dang girl! Good driving. I love your videos. keep them coming! Nice rig BTW!
Thanks for an uplifting video. When this corona shit is BEATEN I’ll gonna treat myself to a SCX-10 III. Planning upgrades already. Stay safe!
Sounds like a plan! I think we're all ready for it to be over.
Great video... and how to tips👌
Love your videos!
Do you have a video on your backyard crawling course?
Yep - a trail run, but not about how I built it: ruclips.net/video/QepKQAlUSRE/видео.html
Can you do a video and explanation of your backyard trail please?
I’m fixing to build my own......
You know, one of the things I really like about your channel is the lack of an intro/title/logo. you just jump in and start. Very refreshing these days to not have to skip the first 30 seconds of blahblahblah. Keep it up!
Haha yeah that's the "new" trend. Jump right in and don't waste people's time 😉
Nice video, i am more of an axial fan, but i like all kinds of rc trucks...
Awesome upgrades love the wheel and tire combo 👍🏻 keep us informed about the shocks ive got my eye on a pair at my local hobby shop CEN CAL HOBBIES in Modesto 💯
Saludos desde España buenísimos videos podria poner subtítulos en español saludos
Great vid as always👍🏼. Nice bead locks. Them Goodyears would look great with the text painted. Keep em coming. 😉
Thanks for your videos, I want to ask if with this Shock and Tires are ok for crawler or just for trails ?
Once again very pretty.
Sus
Nice trx4 ilove 😍
Also, I enjoy hearing about your personal review on the product at the end of the video, for instance how the shocks compared to the previous setup, your view on the tyres after tested as well as how the servo responded. Thank you
Thanks - noted! I was in a rush to get this vid out, but will do that next time!
Nice upgrades.
Nice job! Miss Dante out supervising the trail run!
You can see him in the background briefly at 7:43 ;)
Thx! I did miss him. He's getting gray just like Me! 😜
I purchased the Traxxas TRX4 crawler kit. This will be my first rc car. I'm looking forward to building it. I'm amazed how upgradeable these are. Looking forward to doing some crawling pretty soon.

This vehicle with transmitter was going for 359 now it jumped to 479 everywhere wtf !!!! This is ridiculous

Thanks! I have enjoyed your video. Are those better than Traxxas TRX-4 Pre-Mounted Canyon Trail 2.2" Crawler Tires w/Method 105 Wheels?
Nice job, Great vidéo 🙏🙏🙏👍👍
Amortisörler ve alıcı harikaaaa 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
As much as I'd prefer the better balanced Blazer orange, I'll probably end up getting this LR because the add-ons and realism is INSANE!
hi RC Girl, i have question regarding wheel base conversion for TRX4, if you wanna go shorter can it be reduce according to your liking (more options) or is has only an option and that is from 324 mm to 312mm only? thanks

What advantages have a double spring coilover shock absorber over a single Spring one? Preload adjustment?
How many cost of this upgraded rc Defender car.... I am from India so how can I brought it.... Please help me
I've had all the shocks that RC4WD makes and they're some of the worst performing shocks out there imo. They always leak sooner than later. The stock TRX4 shocks are far superior to them. If you want awesome dual spring shocks, pick up a set of Venture stock shocks. Some of the best shocks on the market
Bought the steering servo you linked for my trx4 and the wire pigtail is too short
I put together a shock, I used a 100 weight silicone oil, it dampened much better than 30 weighr , --- at least for the heavy rc truck I installed it on. . .
Awesome video
Do you use additional BEC or its just plug and play servo? Im totaly new to rc and i need upgrade. So can i use that servo with xl-5 ESC?
Nice changes, looks way more stable now.
Hi There! so is this servo better than the "red" servo you had placed in prior? I'm torn on which to get. thanks!!!! :). Got a red Defender too! :)
Hey RC Girl, did you have any issues with these shocks leaking? I think they look great and I love how realistic they perform but I don’t want to have to tear into them every couple of trips to put oil in.

That trx4 is the slickest looking one I've ever seen. Makes me want to build one.
does trx4 defender stock bottom parts are metals? (the dif. , gears, axles , propellers etc . all the parts at the bottom. ) thankyou for the answer.
Super Autos und schönes Video..ich habe auch noch einen Amewi LC70 und einen Sherpa...aber der traxxas bleibt der Beste...💯💢💥👌👍👍
This is excellent content. I’d like to do some on my channel but my viewers aren’t into it.
I have a trx-4 defender and I was wondering if I can fit 100mm shocks on it or does it have to be 90mm
Great work but very impressive driving skills. That staircase climb was great. Thanks.
Wow.
Great video RCGirl What were your thoughts on the new parts?
Yeah I kind of just wrapped the vid without sharing my thoughts hah! At first I thought the shocks might be too soft, but it gives really cool realistic movement out on the trail. Kind of more in a droop style setup. So overall, really like them. The tires are narrower, but a tad taller but they fit perfectly with no wheel rub. Need a bit of wearing in, but the foams are stiffer so they can hold up the 700 g of weight that I added, and dig in place I need it to. And they look super scale. The Trackstar TS910 servo that I had in there was quite good, but the new one has about 100oz/in more torque. I think overall, really happy with the setup!
The right side(passenger side) tires are mounted wrong, longer tread belongs on the outside, just like the left side
Only thing I wish you would do is tell us what you thought about the upgrades did they perform to your liking.
please dont stop making trx4 videos lol i just got mine a few weeks ago because of you and i watched every video you made on the truck
Hey RC Girl. That a sick new setup. I have the same weights setup you have from Yeah Racing and upgrade mine to 2.2 wheels but those tires seem working perfectly for 1.9. Love your new aluminum rims colour and the fact you can see the nuts because the 120 little screws are not something you want doing them all the times.

Thanks for the info. This will give me ideas on my TRX-4 defender.
Great tires and upgrades!
Been looking at these shocks for a while for my trx4 defender, you have just made my mind up for me, i will be get these shocks. Awesome video Hayley and thanks for the tip on greasing those collars. 👍🏻👍🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻😃
Keep the videos coming Hayley i love them. What do you say to a SCX10 3 build? Love your channel. ❤️🤜🏻🤛🏻
What grease are you using? I need a grease tube application that is less messy than the large jar and brush that I am currently using.
love your vids just became the proud owner of the red defender what now got the complete light set and mor to com thx to u
It looks like you really like the TRX-4. That’s one I don’t have.
Nice truck, I like the rims and tires you put on it they look good 👍🔥💯
Was that servo basically plug and play ? Did you have to modify or add anything to make it work ?
Thanks keep up the excellent vids.
Yep it was just plug and play. Came with an aluminum servo horn too
those new foams work so much better, the sidewall of the tire is collapsed like the tire setup
kulo sampun sapskrep mba'e
The MTR's are made this way. the real thing works the same. they are not symetrical, and there is no left or right side
Evet bütün bunları istiyorum 🙏
Did you plug the servo into the stock TRX receiver?
Probably the most scale TRX-4 I've seen!
I had no idea of the level of customization on an RC off road truck. Everything looks like full size equipment. The shock tuning would be a lot of fun. I’m an electrical specialists on the T38 jets for the Air Force. So, I love to tinker with electronics. I was looking for a new hobby and was thinking RC would be cool, I had no idea how cool . I first saw the RC airplane now this. So cool.
Happy Easter RC Girl I enjoy the videos ❤️
I love that you list all your parts. I’m fairly new to the rock crawler scene so you make life a lot easier.
Those wheels look very nice. Sweet rig🤙 #dreamgirl
Love the wheels, not so much the tires. Your truck looks awesome! 👍🏼
Once again I believe I have witnessed undoubtedly one of the finest most professionally delivered rc videos on the internet. Informative, directly to the point and captivating start to finish. 👌
Thank you! ✌🏼
Give her a like people. Its very rare to see down syndrome people do what she can
