My guy, your reviews are top tier and I appreciate how much time you have put into these videos. I am new to the hobby and to crawling, I would be so lost without these videos.
Adam, when you get a chance check out SKYRC Corner Weight System. Each corner (wheel) can be tuned and adjusted accurately and evenly across all tires for desired weight biases. One of my favorite suspension tuning tools.
Hey dude, great coverage on the TRX4M! One thing that no one has covered yet is the Meus crawler gearing. I know the best way forward is a brushless set-up but for those starting out or happy to remain brushed, I want to see if you have tried the new gearing with a faster motor, e.g. Injora 48T and the 25.87:1 gearing. Its midway between stock trialling and crawling - if it still produces slower crawl but giving back some much needed speed would be a great test and review vid!!!
Awesome timing with the video - my chassis is coming tomorrow! Question - what foams/inserts are you running with those gripper tires? I like how soft they look on the rocks
Love the build!! I have noticed in other videos that this build has a laydown steering servo only made possible by the LCG Universal Carbon Fiber chassis. I am eventually going that direction. Is there any binding or clearance issues between the chassis and servo in this setup?.....thanks
Awesome video, new to ur channel as I am researching the trx4m as my starter rig.. you have great content.. btw this truck is dijon not creamsicle lol.. creamsicle must have light orange lol.. .. hifive and I look forward to catching up on all ur vids! :)
Maybe just some weight in the front, I think the CF chassis is a lot lighter than the stock one. I got some 10mm weights that keep the front supppppper planted!
This might be a stupid question and I may have missed the answer in the video, but why the CF Chassis? I feel like most of the time we're trying to add weight, in which case, the chassis seems counter productive. Second question: Im just now starting my build and I really don't even know where to start. I really like the shocks, but what would you (or anyone) recommend for some first upgrades (and why)? Great videos, thanks!
I’m sure Adam will answer this for you but you always want to add weight at the axle or below. Cut as much weight above the axle as possible and you’ll perform much better. Keeping the weight as low as possible is the idea. Especially on something like the Trx4m that has a hard body. It’s already got a good amount of weight up high so removing any you can is only going to help performance.
Not only do I need the Injora chassis for the Bronco, but probably should upgrade my shocks too. 🤨 Come to think of it. 🤔 Do I need to put oil in those shocks?
There's a fine line between flex and stability, and clearly this rig has too much flex. Yes, flex looks cool but the downside is your suspension will unload in high angles. Ditch the 59mm shocks or reduce the amount of flex and it will run better.
Im running stock springs (51mm) on 53mm Injoras. Stock Is the .95 spring rate of both injoras combined (.45+.50) No slack at full nut topout. 59’s there would be though i bet
Great video on the new upgrades for creamsicle bronco finally injora made the chassis for the bronco. And these new 59mm shocks are awesome. What size tire you're running and what brand. Thanks for the video I love watching them for my white Bronco TRX4M.
Creamsicle is based of budget trx4m right? Also i gotta say this us my favourite build of yours/favourite bronco on youtube. Its such a beautiful body with such great performance!!!
@@CapeCrawlersis there like a video i missed? Cuz i watched the budget build, but in the next video with the yellow/orange bronco it had high clearance links and a new paintjob without you explaining. Thats unusual for you
Since you have done both, would you do the injora chassis or the grasshopper? Running the defender chassis on my Bronco right now but the body issues are annoying.
Oh, that's a tough one. They both have pros and cons. I like the one-piece frame rails on the grasshopper, and I feel like the design offers more/better options for shock placement. I like that the Injora has the angled skid and is half the cost. But if money was not a consideration, I would use the grasshopper.
I've been following your TRX-4m videos alot recently, I'm just getting into micro crawlers. Do you think at some point you could start a new trx-4m build with off the shelf parts that you prefer from the ground up? Just balls to the wall in every aspect? Unless you have already done that and I missed it.
I can do that. It would be fun to incorporate what I've learned from these iterative builds. I'm kinda waiting for Traxxas to release a new model of the M!
Hi Adam, i got the chassis and I had the 59mm shocks already on the original trx4m chassis. I had a climbing angle of 56 degrees. The front shocks I had put some limiting spacer in, to limit the front lift. Now with the same setup and i tried several shock positions, i lost two degrees of climbing angle ie 54 degrees max now. Do you have any tips to improve and get it back to the level it was?
It depends on what you are looking to do. I personally think it's a beneficial upgrade because of the shock placements it opens up. You've got zero options on the stock chassis so this helps a lot in that regard.
I got some bigger tires and they caused some rub. I just ordered the 59mm shocks the other day. Hopefully they will help with some of the tire rub and with performance
At what point is it just easier to buy a chassis and your fav body and add axles and motor/ trans? After a full upgrade cycle you can reassemble the left over parts and have the original truck back.
I'll have to pull it all together. It's got the Injora LCG CF chassis, Holmes 66t motor, crawler gear set, 59mm shocks, Injora servo, metal diffs (stock ratio), Injora stamped steel beadlocks and Injora 58mm tires currently
Nice video! I did exactly the same setup with my chasis and for the front, if i position the shocks like you did, the tires rub really bad on my shock spings at full turn or at flex. Did you also experience this? Thank you
Did u install a wide kit to eliminate your rubbing? Does your body still use stock style clip on to attach to new chassis? Or u gotta mod it for magnets or Velcro?
Hey I had a question, I recently bought some INJORA 1.0" 62*22mm S5 Super Soft Sticky All Terrain Tires and some INJORA 8PCS Brass High Clearance Links for my trx4m bronco. I am planning on getting the injora 59 ml. shocks you showed in the video to also add on. The tires keep rubbing the body and I was wondering what you might do to fix it? Would the socks help stop the rubbing (witch is very minimal) Appreciate it. And great video! Can’t wait to see what else you have planned for creamsicle.
Thanks for watching! The shocks will help because you can dial in the preload adjustment and raise the body height. There’s also stiffer springs if the preload isn’t enough
I'm building a full injora TRX4M. I was thinking of adding 30 weight since it'll be quite a bit heavier with all the metal parts. Do you think that would be a good idea or is 30 still too much?
I pretty much did the same set up without the flex extensions and when everything was put on, my bronco was squatted all the way on the back tires. Do you know what I may have done wrong?
Oh boy. Let me think.. I would start with the Furitek grasshopper chassis, Meus racing straight axles with flat servo mount, a reefs 179 servo on that mount, RC addictions linkage, Injora shocks (59mm for flex, shorter for pure performance), Furitek stinger combo, radiomaster radio/rx, Injora steel crawler gear set, mofo RC upw wheels, lgrp swamp king tires with flub RC inserts, high clearance bumpers front and rear. Thats it off the top of my head!
@capecrawlers i installed these shocks about a week ago. this morning i noticed the shocks felt different and it was sitting lower. do i need to check the levels in the shocks to see if they are full?
I use 20wt just based on what I read online and what manufacturers like proline recommended. A lot is trial and error. Put some in, try it out, then add as needed
Random observation, but your audio is slightly out of sync with your video. I noticed this on one of your other videos too. So I thought maybe it was me and dropped the quality to 1080 and same thing. Then I checked another video on Linus tech tips and sound was fine. Not a big deal, just letting you know. Could just be me though.
I went back to stock links and played around with the shock positions. The servo and upper link mounting really hurts the articulation this thing but the stock links seem to work better than most aftermarkets and let it move a bit more

I have the 59mm shocks as well on the furitek grasshopper. Where can I get shock spacers to push the body of the shock away from the frame so I can use the upper mounts? @capecrawlers
Injora makes some spacers. They sell them in an assorted pack and I found them to be really helpful: www.injora.com/products/injora-80pcs-m2-5-flat-stainless-steel-washers-spacers-for-mini-rc-crawler-mods-4m-49?variant=45226347823391

Will it make a difference if I use 30w shock oil?
The shocks will be stiffer and you'll have more damping with that heavier oil
