I love seeing all your builds of different setups from different brands. Wow I'm really impressed by my custom Peterbilt wrecker towtruck crawler, I always see people's incline test and giggle while i go up 72° verticals. Sick build as always!
The tarantula is awesome. Got one for my daughter. I put 5mm axles in it front and rear. And also put 9mm hex extenders on front and rear. Makes it nice and wide for stability. And I use a rubber band for the battery hold down. Still working on other mods.
It is fantastic to see new products from awesome companies daily. The cross weight on your corner scale can be fined tuned by adjusting the left rear preload collar to gain an L/R bias of 50/50. Nice work!
Buy it one piece at a time. You could be in 450 or about 250 depending on if you piece it together or not. 450 if you buy a whole stock one to swap everything just to swap it again later when you want to upgrade.
I’m already at about $350 on mine. In all honesty if anyone wants one of these I would advise against it unless you already have a TRX4m. Your money would be much better spent on a 1:18 Axial Capra. Or even a budget option would be something like the redcat danchee ridge rock. In the end you’re going to dump a ton of money in one of these to have not so great performance. The tarantula is an excellent upgrade though and fixes one the biggest issues which is the poor weight distribution and being top heavy in the rear. If you went cheap you could just do the body and brass down low and throw some $5 gears in it.
Been thinking about this build a lot prior to this video. "I bet I could build a better non Traxxas trx4m". Almost felt as if it were a challenge. This video cements that thought. Throw in a furitec system and pretty much not a single part would be Traxxas. Great vid man.
Very cool. I upgraded axles so I have a bunch of extra stuff laying around. I'm about to order the rest of what I need and by the end of it, it'll be trx4m based crawler. Meus powered, absolutely everything else injora. The only thing traxxas will contribute is the battery.
I put mine together tonight and it weighs in at 646g. 😮 It's a great looking rig. It's surprising to me that even with the electronics layout it's still not to heavy in the rear end. Stock shocks suck on it and do rub, even with some spacers. I guess I'll be picking up some shocks soon. I'll be hitting the rocks soon for some testing. The material that the cage is made of is very soft so I'll possibly be gluing the screws unless someone can tell me why i shouldn't. Also, mine came with spacers for the hood.
Cool rig , looks like a lot of fun to drive 👍, I would do the same , leave battery in for good, charge it in rig. As far as good goes, run it without the hood, who cares. Very capable and I’m guessing the point is to reduce weight of hardbody it comes with. Most people that have these have already upgraded the hell out of them , so this is a nice way to save weight up top, allow more articulation, Great video !!!
I’m building my first kit based on your video. The axles you linked are no longer available. Can you recommend another axle set? Maybe a complete set since I’m a newbe? LOL! Thx!
Thanks Adam &Axle !.I have the clear body coming and will harvesting all the parts and electronics from my defender hope to find a used one someone has outgrown will send final pics and perforforance 24:04
I hope to see an extended link kit soon. With 10 mm extended hubs and maybe 1” or 2” length extension to the chassis links, I am positve it would be awesome.
Thinking about building one of these frames from scratch...ie: no trx4m kit as a starting point. and want to go brushless (furitek) . Do you have any recommendations...like will I need a special skid or any other pitfalls ? If you find time to answer this...Thanks in Advance..👍🏼
Furitek just released the micro komodo with stellar trans for the TRX4M. That would be a great option and will work with the stock skid or an aftermarket one.
Looking into the Tarantula build. Would you be changing out certain parts on this build with more recent upgrades such as the Injora diamond axles? Would be cool if you did an update with the lates/greatest parts for this build.
Hallo, vielen Dank für das tolle Video. Nun hab ich Ihren Kanal aboniert und gucke mal wss sonst noch für Berichte erstellt wurden für die kleinen 1:18 Modelle 😊
Do you have a link for wheel spacers? Mine rubs the shocks due to the shock spacers even though the tires are 57mm. I’m using LGRP wheels and lug nuts. Am I going to be able to keep my LGRP lugnut and not have to do any drilling to my wheel?
Great content! Do you think the lay down servo setup will fit without any trimming? If so, It seems like that would be the way to go to get the weight lower and to stop it from hitting the hood
Sweet video! You've inspired me, but I have a question about a change I'd like to make on my build. I would like to put a Furitek motor and ESC into my Tarantula build. What Furitek set up would you recommend? Note: I am also going to be using those awesome (cheat code) DJ Crawler 72mm tires as well. Thanks again!
An interesting project would be to use the stock frame with a light buggy body and different or no bumpers. How much more performance does the tarantula frame give you, if any.
I think this video was made before the High Trail came out. Would the High Trail links work with this rig? It seems like those would give a bit of extra clearance due to their longer length. I assume if they would work, it would also require High Trail driveshafts?
Yes you are right. The hightrail links would work and they would make a huge difference. I haven't tried the conversion but I believe you will need the longer driveshaft to complete the kit, although the long-arm lift kit that traxxxas sells does not include the driveshaft, so maybe it's not necessary?
I think it's a great kit. Got mine on order already. Going with the blue. Would leave the battery in to charge. You obviously never seen one start on fire from charging.
Nice, but many of us can't justify or afford all the mods. We would like to see how it performs with a stock swap from the trx4m. And /or just a set of injora brass wheels to lower the weight.
After watching this was real excited to be able to order some different color panels for trantula or the clear. I thought forsure since u had got those in packaging w/injora tab like all there parts they were selling these. I was disappointed to not find them anywhere on their site I even clicked on the trantula chassis to see if they might be under it to buy. Nope. So did they just send those to u? Are they gonna sell the panels and some point? What's up with that?! Lol Great video by the way. Loving ur building and set up videos.
Bonjour et merci pour les excellentes vidéos ! J'ai commandé ce châssis et je me pose la question des "Flex blades". Elles ne s'adaptent pas avec ce châssis ? Merci à vous depuis la France.
Man that chassis looks good! Thinking of building one with all aftermarket components. Do u think there’s room above the rear axle for a servo? (front treal portal axle) Wanting to go 4ws. Maybe removing included esc plate and mounting furitek esc and rx inside the body on the doors?
If you went with a horizontal servo setup like the Meus racing setup you could fit. The vertical servo on the back would be a hard fit without some trimming
Great video. Just curious, what weight oil for the shocks, how many drips of oil? Ive got mine built using the silver springs in the front, black in the rear. Thanks again for the info and content!!!
Great video! I just completed my build but I have one problem, the servo is hitting the front cross beam. It might be the high clearance links adjusted improperly. How many spacer if any did you use in the front links?
Awesome build! Can you build a similar meus ripper chassis and compare them? I’m torn between the two. Also, how do you adjust your endpoints on the TRX4m?
I do fancy a mini crawler and this looks very capable. With so many parts replaced from the original kit it has me thinking is it even worth buying the kit? Be good to understand what would be required to make a custom build from scratch.
When I priced this out to build from scratch it was ~$300 without the radio/esc. Could certainly do that cheaper using stock axle housings, transmission cover, etc. I think you could get it done for ~$200 plus your electronics and have an excellent rig
If you were going to do this on a weekly budget. How would you purchase the upgrades that you installed. I have a stock defender but I’m loooking for something more aggressive. Thanks for your response in advance.
Good question. I think I would do a similar approach like the TRX4M budget build. My approach would be something like this: 1) wheels and tires, crawler gears ($5 traxxas to start), bearing conversion 2) motor, servo upgrade 3) brass knuckles, castor blocks, diff cover (front), shocks 4) steel gears throughout, brass steering link, driveshaft upgrade
I'm thinking about doing a tarantula build, I have the trx4m High Trail. Do you think the links and drive shafts would be compatible or will they be too long?
Hey Adam, I absolutely think your videos are the best I've seen, Your builds are so capable, Our scx24 bronco was so tippy until i did a few of the mods you've recommended, sooooo helped, I really appreciate all the technical info you explain, It helps me so much fixing my scx24's so my kids crawlers keep alive haha...I always scroll threw your videos before i have to fix one of the trucks so i get an idea of what to do haha 😵💫 I just recently went full injora Hoooon on my sons scx24 gladiator, Links-axles-motor and trans, wheels etc...but now the truck dosent move lol, Maybe its the esc? It wont roll backwards either when turned off, ow boy...do you have a video on how to diagnose what issues could be going on? or what to look for? I cant afford to take it into the rc shop again 😅 I scroll threw youtube sometimes looking for a video on how to diagnose scx24 common issues, but dont see any, maybe that video would be a total hit! just a thought, Anyways keep up the stellar work man!
Thank you! My first thought was that something is bound up too tight. Wheel nuts, transmission spur gear, or steering knuckles are the most common causes. I would suggest going through those and making sure they're properly situated. You may also want to test the esc on another truck if you've got one. That could be a good first test. Then if the electronics are good, work your way back through the build.
They are top-notch so the quality of them just they're very strong very strong to take the beating I gave them trx4 m has some of the best axle shaft I have seen now there are some great ones for straight axles like from mofo he has some amazing straight axle shafts for like axial scx24 but the way the trx4 M the shafts are made and the cvd gives it an amazing steering angle and really good strength I haven't seen nothing on any of the other ones that can turn like that not get bound up and still not break
do your metal gears make noise? I used the injora stainless steel gears and also used udder butter but my trx4m is very loud now. My friend just installed the traxxas plastic crawl gears on his and its still as silent as the stock gearing.
@@CapeCrawlers if you could even just have a close look and give me an educated guess as to whether you think it'll work I'd really appreciate it before I start ordering everything! I know on the Meus website they say it won't fit their ripper body which has me a little nervous. Love your content mate!
I really like the way this looks more than the one they have for the SCX24, specifically the front not being so squished. Any idea if this will be available for that platform as well?
I've always wondered why TRAXXIS hasnt come out with a compete vehicle for the CAPRA line up? injora makes enough parts to build a complete kit without even buying a stsrter vehicle👍
Depends where you are. In the Northeast (MA, CT, NH) there is RC excitement in Enfield, CT, Wreckless Hobbies in Wareham, MA. Both of those have tracks
@CapeCrawlers i had the kids pic and they went with the tarantula.. i dont know what color they got me though.. im a happy man no matter which one i got.. appreciate you 👊🏽

I love seeing all your builds of different setups from different brands. Wow I'm really impressed by my custom Peterbilt wrecker towtruck crawler, I always see people's incline test and giggle while i go up 72° verticals. Sick build as always!
Looks great! Do you think portal axles would improve it or not?
The tarantula is awesome. Got one for my daughter. I put 5mm axles in it front and rear. And also put 9mm hex extenders on front and rear. Makes it nice and wide for stability. And I use a rubber band for the battery hold down. Still working on other mods.

I think you should paint the clear panels with a color similar to brass. I think that would look sick!
I back this!
Agreed!
I agree. But maybe like a black and gold in a pattern similar an actual tarantula
I just put together 2 of these kits, so far they seem nice. I accidentally used the shorter screws at first lol... Lesson learned.
Also those foams will probably break in after running awhile
I put mine together tonight and it weighs in at 646g. 😮 It's a great looking rig. It's surprising to me that even with the electronics layout it's still not to heavy in the rear end. Stock shocks suck on it and do rub, even with some spacers. I guess I'll be picking up some shocks soon.
I'll be hitting the rocks soon for some testing.
The material that the cage is made of is very soft so I'll possibly be gluing the screws unless someone can tell me why i shouldn't. Also, mine came with spacers for the hood.
+1 on needing better shocks. Running them more vertical seemed to help for now until I get some 59s.
Cool rig , looks like a lot of fun to drive 👍, I would do the same , leave battery in for good, charge it in rig. As far as good goes, run it without the hood, who cares. Very capable and I’m guessing the point is to reduce weight of hardbody it comes with.

Tell us more about the Swamp Claws! Looks like they could use two vent holes in the wheels and some Flubs?
I second this, those tires need more venting and there own review!
That's really awesome. I'm impressed for sure. I think my next upgrade will be that Injora aluminum crawling tranny.
Impressive....I have a set of the claws on the way looks like they need a foam cut and some break in time
I’m building my first kit based on your video. The axles you linked are no longer available. Can you recommend another axle set? Maybe a complete set since I’m a newbe? LOL! Thx!
Thanks Adam &Axle !.I have the clear body coming and will harvesting all the parts and electronics from my defender hope to find a used one someone has outgrown will send final pics and perforforance 24:04
About to put mine together with a PN racing motor and mostly injora extras this is my second or third watch through thanks love the content
Thanks for watching!
I hope to see an extended link kit soon. With 10 mm extended hubs and maybe 1” or 2” length extension to the chassis links, I am positve it would be awesome.
Im running same tires....i just snipped the foams in 8 equal places with scissors and it gave the tires a lil more grip.
Thinking about building one of these frames from scratch...ie: no trx4m kit as a starting point. and want to go brushless (furitek) . Do you have any recommendations...like will I need a special skid or any other pitfalls ?
If you find time to answer this...Thanks in Advance..👍🏼
Furitek just released the micro komodo with stellar trans for the TRX4M. That would be a great option and will work with the stock skid or an aftermarket one.
Could you do some changes and revisit this chassis. Maybe some flubber stuffs and portal axles?
Looking into the Tarantula build. Would you be changing out certain parts on this build with more recent upgrades such as the Injora diamond axles? Would be cool if you did an update with the lates/greatest parts for this build.
Hallo, vielen Dank für das tolle Video. Nun hab ich Ihren Kanal aboniert und gucke mal wss sonst noch für Berichte erstellt wurden für die kleinen 1:18 Modelle 😊
Thx- what was the wheelbase measurement?
Do you have a link for wheel spacers?
Mine rubs the shocks due to the shock spacers even though the tires are 57mm.
I’m using LGRP wheels and lug nuts. Am I going to be able to keep my LGRP lugnut and not have to do any drilling to my wheel?
Hey Adam, I was just wondering what tool kit you used in this video? It would really help. Thanks man!
I primarily use the TRX4M kit from LGRP
Great content! Do you think the lay down servo setup will fit without any trimming? If so, It seems like that would be the way to go to get the weight lower and to stop it from hitting the hood
Looks great! Would you be able to drop an FMS 2-speed transmission in?
Another great build. Could you do a Ripper vs Tarantula video ?
I am new to all of this rc stuff so if I have bronco 4m can I convert it to this?
I got this one and the ripper. I like the looks of the ripper but the tarantula seems to be a better performer.
I just purchased the Green tarantula, ready built chassis kit from a friend for $15, like new.
I too am impressed! Looks great in orange.
Looks great cant decide on thjs or the meus ripper . . . Also what tires are you running ?
These are the big swamp claw tires from Injora
Where do you order the clear panels? I cant find them
Having just bought my first crawler (trx4m) this was a dangerous video to watch and not get tempted.
Sweet video! You've inspired me, but I have a question about a change I'd like to make on my build. I would like to put a Furitek motor and ESC into my Tarantula build. What Furitek set up would you recommend? Note: I am also going to be using those awesome (cheat code) DJ Crawler 72mm tires as well. Thanks again!
An interesting project would be to use the stock frame with a light buggy body and different or no bumpers. How much more performance does the tarantula frame give you, if any.
You can break those differential gears I've done it but I don't think my stuff easy I get after it
when you make your videos, how do you eliminate the whine of the esc?
I just got this in the clear panels, might do a custom paint on it, and make some panels out of some old cans
I think this video was made before the High Trail came out. Would the High Trail links work with this rig? It seems like those would give a bit of extra clearance due to their longer length. I assume if they would work, it would also require High Trail driveshafts?
Yes you are right. The hightrail links would work and they would make a huge difference. I haven't tried the conversion but I believe you will need the longer driveshaft to complete the kit, although the long-arm lift kit that traxxxas sells does not include the driveshaft, so maybe it's not necessary?
What battery do you have in there? and what is the run time on a truck like this..?
Paint the clear panels some type of OD or Moss Green, they would look sick with the brass color!🤙🏽 This is sick!🔥🔥🔥
Good idea
I think it's a great kit. Got mine on order already. Going with the blue. Would leave the battery in to charge. You obviously never seen one start on fire from charging.
Haven't seen one catch fire, but understand the risk
Nice, but many of us can't justify or afford all the mods. We would like to see how it performs with a stock swap from the trx4m. And /or just a set of injora brass wheels to lower the weight.
does this work for the high trail ? just ordered mine and realized the high trail is longer
How high is the escalator
After watching this was real excited to be able to order some different color panels for trantula or the clear. I thought forsure since u had got those in packaging w/injora tab like all there parts they were selling these.

Great video by the way. Loving ur building and set up videos.
They did send me the panels with the kit. They will offer them for sale soon, at least that's my understanding!
Would the 2 speed transmission kit fit on this? I've been dreaming of a crawler/bouncer combo and this has the look I'm thinking of :)
Do they make a similar kit using the scx24 for its parts?
Bonjour et merci pour les excellentes vidéos !
J'ai commandé ce châssis et je me pose la question des "Flex blades".
Elles ne s'adaptent pas avec ce châssis ? Merci à vous depuis la France.
I think the lower portion of the flex extensions will work but not the uppers
I want to build one of these into like a dune buggy/sand ripper kinda thing
Man that chassis looks good! Thinking of building one with all aftermarket components. Do u think there’s room above the rear axle for a servo? (front treal portal axle) Wanting to go 4ws. Maybe removing included esc plate and mounting furitek esc and rx inside the body on the doors?
If you went with a horizontal servo setup like the Meus racing setup you could fit. The vertical servo on the back would be a hard fit without some trimming
Is this the same size as the mini Capra???
I already have my M Bronco....kinda want to get another one, just to do, just this! Lol
What brass diff covers and C hubs? Great video.
Thanks! Injora brass on this one
Which length shocks did you use? Do you recommend 53mm or 59mm with the Tarantula? My Tarantula is on my bench! Nicely done sir!
I used 59mm and they seem to work really well, much better than on the TRX4M chassis itself
Great video. Just curious, what weight oil for the shocks, how many drips of oil?
Ive got mine built using the silver springs in the front, black in the rear.
Thanks again for the info and content!!!
Thanks for watching! I use 20wt oil and about three drops.
Injora is making a new hood for more clearance.👍
Great video! I just completed my build but I have one problem, the servo is hitting the front cross beam. It might be the high clearance links adjusted improperly. How many spacer if any did you use in the front links?
I didn't use any spacers in mine. I figured I would try it without them and add if needed. So far so good!
Excellent thank you for your response!
Could I use high-trail drive shafts and four links from the C10 Chevy with this kit, or are they too long?
Your rear shocks would be at quite an extreme angle but I think it would still be functional
what shock weight do you use
Can this fit the fcx18
Awesome build! Can you build a similar meus ripper chassis and compare them? I’m torn between the two. Also, how do you adjust your endpoints on the TRX4m?
Yes! My ripper kit will be here today!
What tools are those?
I do fancy a mini crawler and this looks very capable. With so many parts replaced from the original kit it has me thinking is it even worth buying the kit? Be good to understand what would be required to make a custom build from scratch.
When I priced this out to build from scratch it was ~$300 without the radio/esc. Could certainly do that cheaper using stock axle housings, transmission cover, etc. I think you could get it done for ~$200 plus your electronics and have an excellent rig
If you were going to do this on a weekly budget. How would you purchase the upgrades that you installed. I have a stock defender but I’m loooking for something more aggressive. Thanks for your response in advance.
Good question. I think I would do a similar approach like the TRX4M budget build. My approach would be something like this:
1) wheels and tires, crawler gears ($5 traxxas to start), bearing conversion
2) motor, servo upgrade
3) brass knuckles, castor blocks, diff cover (front), shocks
4) steel gears throughout, brass steering link, driveshaft upgrade
ca n you put the super wide galditor on the wave and can you do a show down lke you were sying with the c10 jlu gladiator ecx
Yep!
I'm thinking about doing a tarantula build, I have the trx4m High Trail. Do you think the links and drive shafts would be compatible or will they be too long?
The high trail is a better wheelbase for this kit. The extended rear helps with climbing and stability
What was the approximate cost in USD?
Hey Adam, I absolutely think your videos are the best I've seen, Your builds are so capable, Our scx24 bronco was so tippy until i did a few of the mods you've recommended, sooooo helped, I really appreciate all the technical info you explain, It helps me so much fixing my scx24's so my kids crawlers keep alive haha...I always scroll threw your videos before i have to fix one of the trucks so i get an idea of what to do haha 😵💫

@@CapeCrawlers Ok, good to know, thank you Adam, how would i go about testing the esc on another truck, would i use the same remote controller?
hey!, is it possible to mount the injora carbon fiber battery + esc tray?
I don’t think you’ve got the clearance to run the stacked setup in this
Your injora discount code can only be used once?
They are top-notch so the quality of them just they're very strong very strong to take the beating I gave them trx4 m has some of the best axle shaft I have seen now there are some great ones for straight axles like from mofo he has some amazing straight axle shafts for like axial scx24 but the way the trx4 M the shafts are made and the cvd gives it an amazing steering angle and really good strength I haven't seen nothing on any of the other ones that can turn like that not get bound up and still not break
do your metal gears make noise? I used the injora stainless steel gears and also used udder butter but my trx4m is very loud now. My friend just installed the traxxas plastic crawl gears on his and its still as silent as the stock gearing.
Yes, they are noisy
Do you think youd be able to fit the meus 2 speed transmission in this body? I dont mind having to modify a little.
Possibly. I have it on my bench and was going to put it in my bronco. Maybe I’ll try it in this instead
@@CapeCrawlers if you could even just have a close look and give me an educated guess as to whether you think it'll work I'd really appreciate it before I start ordering everything!

I haven't heard if it will be available for the SCX24 but I too like it more. The elongated style is nicer than the squished scx24 buggy I feel
Whats your favorite tire performance wise? I have the 62mm ones forget what they are called though. I want a little bit bigger tire to.
Probably the LGRP swamp kings.
Does it bolt straight up fairly easy? I’m looking at getting that myself.
Yes, it’s a real simple installation.
hey man i bought this same body, wheels and axels and it gave my crazy chassis twist any help or suggestions on how to fix it
Check out my torque twist video. Lots of tips there to solve it
@@CapeCrawlers thanks man and i'm in middleboro ma if you wana crawl some time
I've always wondered why TRAXXIS hasnt come out with a compete vehicle for the CAPRA line up? injora makes enough parts to build a complete kit without even buying a stsrter vehicle👍
How did you order the extra body panels? I've looked on their site and can't see them sold separately 🤷🏼♂️
They'll be released soon. It was a surprise demo from Injora!
Awesome, thanks for the reply 😁
What's your wheelbase on this guy? Sweet rig
Same as stock, 162mm
Ive been battling with my scx24 with either keeping it the bronco build or turn it back into the injora nylon buggy kit
Get another one 👍
Awesome build 👏
How much did it all come out at?
Without the radio/receiver, it would be ~$350
Is there an indoor RC track anywhere
Depends where you are. In the Northeast (MA, CT, NH) there is RC excitement in Enfield, CT, Wreckless Hobbies in Wareham, MA. Both of those have tracks
Cape cod
This chassis or the furitek beetle for crawling?
They're pretty close. Furitek has a lot more options for shock placement and linkage mounting so I think I would give that one the nod for crawling.
@CapeCrawlers i had the kids pic and they went with the tarantula.. i dont know what color they got me though.. im a happy man no matter which one i got.. appreciate you 👊🏽

I was thinking the same thing..Looks just like a Capra..👍🏼
@@steve_beattyagreed
Nice build!!!
Does this work with the high trial ?
Yes
This frame would be perfect if it had the clearance for lay down servo mounts out of the box.
Agree
Looks like a copy of the Axial UTB18 (mini capra)
Performance wise, Tarantula or Bettle?
Bettle I think. It keeps the weight lower and has much more options for shock and linkage positions to tune your performance.
@@CapeCrawlers what chassis plate did you use on both of yours?
Realy sweet rig 😋
How much did the whole build cost you
Top to bottom I think around $300
Oh ok nice I want to build one from the ground up and I was just wondering about how much they cost to build
is it lcg?
By design its lower COG than stock because you shed the tall, heavy body. But the chassis itself isn't specifically LCG I dont feel
Hi bud love the build and would I be able to use the ready assembled front and rear axles.
Looks sick
