Finally got my build finished and I'm beyond blown away with it. The body changed this truck completely. Side hills and climbs so much better. Great build in this vid!
Someone needs to make a spreadsheet with this body and chassis that is just everything you need to buy for a full injora TRX4M, skip buying the traxxas stuff
Adam, the chassis is definitely not mounted right! The shorter pieces in the front of the chassis need to be on the inside of the back rails! And the reason your 8 mm 1.4 Came out the back of your cage is because you forgot to put the two little black tabs that hold the window! Otherwise awesome video like always 🤜💥🤛
The one thing I really dislike is the esc whine. Kind of obnoxious to use indoors.. to the extent I'm considering going brushless, but for the $ could buy another mini crawler lol
@@grantstricklin4439 the stock ESC is almost as bad as nails on a chalk board. I'm glad that injora has made something affordable and doesn't cost the same or more than the purchase of the truck
Thank you & many others for doing these builds I was stuck between buying the ew TRX M Ford High Tail or use a Defender TRX M as a base for this build so after watching you guys build & run them I decided to build one I had to make up my mind because the Chinese New Year is coming but I ordered everything I should need just gotta wait for my order & unfortunately it takes forever but it’s always worth it. 👍
As you already know I love your videos, but bloody Norah! Now I need to spend a fortune buying one of these! Jokes aside, what a super cool kit. I am messing with the Swamp Claws in 1/10 size on the green inserts over on my channel. Injora are doing a lot of good work lately! I was going to buy the Hobby Plus Evo Pro but now I might just build one of these!
yo fyi on your chassis you have the braces opposite where they are suppose to go, the back is wider than the front when build correctly and doesnt make the chassis flex when tightened on the tray in the back, the small carbon fiber front pieces are suppose to mount inside the longer ones not on the outside, doing this allows you to put the injora ESC sideways and the reciever right next to it on the tray also there is room for both.
Man I love the way that rig looks. I really need to put the money into the budget to build me one. Thanks for these videos. My 2 boys and I look forward to watching every video.
This is awesome, i never want a crawler but sinds i watched your video i'm realy want a crawler, you do this with a lot of passion.thanks for the video man!
Dude! Awesome build but you forgot the to put the two black support washer pieces in the cab. That’s why your screws almost went through the back rails. I did the same and had to look at the instructions again. Great work Adam!
Another great build video. I'd love to do this to my Defender, but haven't had time to get the Defender in a video yet. So this might be good for a Spring build. Cheers!
I've been looking forward to this one. I have an ir40 and huge packages of goods coming from injora China. Great deals, but sucks to wait so long on shipping. Great content as always
My body was just delivered and when I opened the box I found the rear cage was missing GREAT !!! this always happens to me , so I have sent an email off to Injora explaining the problem , I'm sure they will replace them but it's the two three weeks waiting for them to be delivered that I'm now stuck with and we all love waiting for parts , I have been ordering from model sport In the UK because its only a couple of days for delivery , so if there is a problem your not sat waighting for weeks on end , I hope Injora get back to me soon , Stay safe mate ...
Hey Adam, a video on brass upgrades for those Injora axles would be great. I'm wondering if other manufacturers' diff covers and parts can fit on them.
There are 2 black brackets left over that were in the small bag with the headlight stuff in it. Did you ever figure out what the 2 black brackets went to? I didn't see you use them anywhere. They did fit over the 2 screw holes that attached the body to the rear cage.
$250 no electronics + or - $50 depending how crazy you wanna go and quality of parts you buy. Electronics can be $75-$300 if you have a radio and receiver already.
Build turned out great. I am waiting on a green IR40. I plan on running some Meus axles, scx drivtrain, and topping it off with some Phoenix decals lol.
Hey adam did you ever fix the cab to cage? You need those plastic pieces that hold up the windows installed then you will be able to use proper length screws
With my IR 40 build I blacked out under the body from headlights to front window and added aluminum foil around light buckets now brighter beams and front end not lit up just a tip
This looks amazing! can you recommend high clearance links that would work with this? Also in the shorts video it has the silver side plates, did the universal chassis come with those? Thanks so much!
This body is sweet! I do prefer the look of it with the 1 inch wheel and 64mm tire though. What do you prefer performance wise? The 64 or 70 mm tire setup?
I think smaller tires/wheels worked better. I just put on some 1.3" DJ Crawler wheels and 64mm tires and it looks fantastic. I haven't run it yet, but I am excited to do so
Hey Adam! How did you get your 370 motor to work with the mb100 esc? Or what adapter would I need, a traxxas motor to what? Thanks for all the awesome vids you make!
Some thing I have really been struggling with is deciding whether or not to go with portal axles or straight axles. I am just trying to build the best overall rig and I feel like portal axles should help eliminate torque twist versus the straight axle. But I just don’t know what decision to make????
That looks so good!!!!! Tho the cyan isnt my favourite option it still looks fire! Relly nice build. I want to buy a trx4m so badly rn lol Awesome build as i said. Also im thinking bout a 1/10 crawler rn…. But ill have to wait for that
@CapeCrawlers - If you could choose would you stick with this motor/ESC combo or would you go towards one of the Brushless units like the Furitek Komodo/Lizard pro or Cedar/Python pro? Im really torn between my power plant.
I am super happy with this combo. I have the furitek stinger kit for this truck but haven’t felt the need to change out this setup. Very pleased with it
How do you feel about the new lcg chassis not having the 5° angle skid? Does it really make a difference! Should I get the angled one and just trim the c notch off the ends for the ir40?
I picked up a TRX4M Bronco that they have already upgraded to carbon fiber chassis. I bought the Injora IR40 and am working on the install. I can't get the front bumper to line up with the holes on the chassis frame. I noticed on yours, it has plastic pieces on the inside of the frame. My kit didn't come with that. Did those pieces come with your lcg carbon fiber chassis or with your IR40 kit?
Adam, are there any major handling differences between this chassis and the original Injora LCG carbon chassis? I have the original not being used and wonder if it's worth buying the new chassis instead. It's for standard length, so the length for high trail isn't needed. Just wondered your thoughts between the 2. Thanks
Can I ask what shock length you used? I just slapped an IR40 together from my leftover chassis and other parts, but had a set of 59mm Injora shocks that didn't work on my Defender, and used those. They seem to work ok, but the rig is a little "wobbly", as one would expect... What length did you use?
Kool build brother...hey get yourself a civivi or some budget edc knife 🔪 for unboxing if your additive personality is like mine you will be amazed just started collecting 😊
Hey does it make sense to put the MB100 to the injora 48 purple motor whith crawler gears? Im struggling on the decision... 🙈 or is it then to slow overall?🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Hi Adam, thx for all the amazing videos - question: what chassis is the better option for a trx4m bronco the universal or the specific for the Bronco - with the 59mm shocks?
Thank you for all the info on upgrading RC. I have been watching your videos for a while and I am ready to jump into RCs. Could you recommend a good quality RC tool kit? Thank you.
@@CapeCrawlers I saw 3DRC making some 3D printed sliders. He has some amazing interior kits for the IR40 body. I think you should definitely review them😃
Better if you buy a scale 1/24 that you like and from there upgrade parts. Besides, if you buy parts from scratch to build one It will be much more expensive than the stock brand.
Hey Adam I’ve heard talk of the new injora universal lcg chassis for trx4m is not very compatible with the lay down servo and steering set up with the IR40 body? Has anyone else heard or had issues? This is with the new universal chassis by injora
@@CapeCrawlers did you have to run the servo horn a certain Way? The guy I was watchin the other day was talking about at full turn it was hitting the horn on something.
Are you able to adjust steering endpoints with this esc and receiver? I have the stock esc and Injora servo but can’t figure out how to adjust my endpoints.
Hi, do you think this body is possible to use with the Injora 70MM Swamp Claw Tires? or do you think that tarantula should necessarily be used for those 70mm tires? Thanks
I ran the 70mm on here for a bit and it did just fine. You’ll likely need some negative offset wheels, wider axles, or both to properly clear the chassis though

Yeah u could technically build without buying the stock one I thought same
I just built one using only injora parts with a furitek cedar motor and lizard pro esc
@@lesbeast1 post a video on face book. You in any trx4m. Groups?
I posted it on reddit under the TRX4M section as Full Injora Build
I just added all the stuff in my cart yesterday. Came up to a little over $400 to build a full rig
I built 1 of these and a tarantula with austar ax8560's because I just couldn't strip down my trx4m f150 because i❤ it😂. 1 OF MY FAVORITE CHANNELS
Adam, the chassis is definitely not mounted right! The shorter pieces in the front of the chassis need to be on the inside of the back rails!
And the reason your 8 mm 1.4
Came out the back of your cage is because you forgot to put the two little black tabs that hold the window!

🤜💥🤛
I can't get over how much quieter the injora ESC is over traxxas one. No high pitch whine. I'm definitely going to grab a few when I get a chance
The one thing I really dislike is the esc whine. Kind of obnoxious to use indoors.. to the extent I'm considering going brushless, but for the $ could buy another mini crawler lol
@@grantstricklin4439 the stock ESC is almost as bad as nails on a chalk board. I'm glad that injora has made something affordable and doesn't cost the same or more than the purchase of the truck
Doing the same build but using High Trail links on the rear and rear drive shafts to extend a bit. Then that tire combo would look better on it.
Another great video Adam! Really glad to see a quality affordable ESC option!
I agree on the tires-63mm fit better than the 1.3 and 70s.
My favorite one you’ve done. Looks sick and crazy how silent that brushed setup is. Super planted as well!
Thank you & many others for doing these builds I was stuck between buying the ew TRX M Ford High Tail or use a Defender TRX M as a base for this build so after watching you guys build & run them I decided to build one I had to make up my mind because the Chinese New Year is coming but I ordered everything I should need just gotta wait for my order & unfortunately it takes forever but it’s always worth it. 👍

made the same build with lcg and ir40 body. Really super capable crawler. I believe the only thing to upgrade is to go brushless.

Never an overkill to go bigger on tire size. Just gives it better crawling ability.

it would be helpful and very informative if you could manage a basic cost rundown with these top end biuilds that you do.
$250 no electronics + or - $50 depending how crazy you wanna go and quality of parts you buy. Electronics can be $75-$300 if you have a radio and receiver already.
Build turned out great. I am waiting on a green IR40. I plan on running some Meus axles, scx drivtrain, and topping it off with some Phoenix decals lol.
Have you thought about doing the new esc from injora with stock trx4m motor and gearing?
You should look up oppai factory skid tuck. I did one on my 4m and it totally made it way more capable. Tucks the skid up flush with your chassis 👌🤙
Those look amazing!
Looking sweet, I just ordered the purple one today
I got the IR40 bump as well. 😂
Love the rear body mount reversal tip.

I’ll put one together in a follow up video. Got more on the way for this thing
Yes this would be awesome!
Hey man! This is an awesome build ! Can’t wait to get mine!😁 I love your videos.
This truck is very cool looking I want one. Thanks for letting us know .
So I built this and it really rocks everything. I do have one issue, my cage had a bad part, how or who do I contact for Injora issues?
Great video. So, are there enough aftermarket parts available to simply build a custom TRX 4M without ever buying a stock one ?
Absolutely. I just bought all the parts today for a new tarantula TRX4m build
This body is sweet! I do prefer the look of it with the 1 inch wheel and 64mm tire though. What do you prefer performance wise? The 64 or 70 mm tire setup?

Just finished building one of these and i had to paint it red.
You think they'd sell a red one but apparently they have no plans to
Did you upgrade all your screws because I have some that are starting to strip and I am thinking of buying the injora.
Hardware kit
Do you flip both front and rear mounts to make it sit lower and how ?
supposedly the body fits well on a furitek fx118 as well. havent tried it yet.
To go brushed, or brushless? I figured brushless was always superior to brushed. Explain please 🙏🏽
How do you feel about the new lcg chassis not having the 5° angle skid? Does it really make a difference! Should I get the angled one and just trim the c notch off the ends for the ir40?
Great video...
I would assume that the carbon fiber kit that came out for the defender body should also work for this body?
nah the bumpers dont fit

They seem to work ok, but the rig is a little "wobbly", as one would expect... What length did you use?
What are the length of the shocks you use in this setup?
Is the motor available now?
How mutch final cost of this project? What you recommend: get ready traxxas car and upgrade, or made project from zero?
Anybody😢
Im starting to think it is cheaper to start from the ground up. You’re ending up replacing almost all the parts.
Kool build brother...hey get yourself a civivi or some budget edc knife 🔪 for unboxing if your additive personality is like mine you will be amazed just started collecting 😊

Hi Adam, thx for all the amazing videos - question: what chassis is the better option for a trx4m bronco the universal or the specific for the Bronco - with the 59mm shocks?
They’re very similar in design. But if it were my money I would get the bronco specific one
Many thx Adam
Hi I just wanted to ask if you recommend the injora hardware kit for the trx4m. Cause I already have some screws that are starting to strip.
What shocks are you running
Could you do a similar build but with the meus axles and little guy trail king tires
I'm tellin' ya, that's like a mini Vanquish! Haha
Thank you for all the info on upgrading RC. I have been watching your videos for a while and I am ready to jump into RCs. Could you recommend a good quality RC tool kit? Thank you.
Thanks for watching! I use the LGRP trx4m tool kit. It’s become my go-to kit
Awesome built bro
This is a great build. Just one questions.. Are there any rocksliders for this body available?
I haven't seen rock sliders available. I installed the Meus two-speed kit and that came with some nice sliders
@@CapeCrawlers I saw 3DRC making some 3D printed sliders. He has some amazing interior kits for the IR40 body. I think you should definitely review them😃
wonder if those axels would work on the fcx18 or CR18P
I wish they made this body for the FCX24
I put the horizontal servo mount and my tire are rubbing on the body at full turn
Could you provide a link for the motor and transmission if you have it available
Can you make it like +14mm axles with the 10mm hub extension and the +4mm axles from injora?
hi adam! does the losi mini t rear shocks fit the trx-4m ht?
Other than battery what trx4m is left :p
If I do this build could I use any trx4m body? Or are there limitations
What are u using to keep ur front end down? I did this exact build and climbing in having issues wanting to come back over
It’s a struggle with mine as well. I tried to set the shocks up as high as I could up front to limit the drop but that’s all I’ve done
@@CapeCrawlers yea I bought wheel weights and same wheels and tires u did basically copied ur build but they don’t fit those rims
Hi Sir! Im new to this crawler, may i ask you where i can get all parts to build my own 1/24 this scale
Better if you buy a scale 1/24 that you like and from there upgrade parts. Besides, if you buy parts from scratch to build one It will be much more expensive than the stock brand.
do you know what the gear ratio is in the injora 370 setup? same as the traxxas crawler or trail gears or something else?
I do not. I would have to crack it open to find out but it feels different than the Traxxas gearing
I trying to use the meus chassis and its not going good maybe to long might have to chop rails ? 🤔
@capecrawlers do you know if the Injore LCG chasis works with the traxxas 2 speed transmission?
I see no reason why it shouldn’t.
How many injora receivers can you hook up to that injora transmitter ?
MB100 FTW👽👊
Hey Adam… is that the blue or teal color option? At times it looks like both in the video.
That's the blue
Are you using stock links if not what links are you using?
That injora controller is a dumbo rc and they are great
Hey Adam I’ve heard talk of the new injora universal lcg chassis for trx4m is not very compatible with the lay down servo and steering set up with the IR40 body? Has anyone else heard or had issues? This is with the new universal chassis by injora
That’s the chassis I’m running on my IR40 build. No issues with mine
@@CapeCrawlers did you have to run the servo horn a certain Way? The guy I was watchin the other day was talking about at full turn it was hitting the horn on something.
@@CapeCrawlers also thanks for always replying man appreciate you very much
Do you need a front facing servo for this? Do I need to buy a new servo or can I just lay it down if I have too?
It doesn’t have to be a lay down servo. Stock setup can work just fine
Is furitek USA a reliable website to order from?
What color did you get? The blue or green??
Green
@@CapeCrawlers thank you man👍
❤ thanks for the badass video🎉🎉
Does the ir40 body bolt onto the original frame or do you need the carbon fiber chassis as well?
It will fit the original frame
Did that motor come with some small tools
Are you able to adjust steering endpoints with this esc and receiver? I have the stock esc and Injora servo but can’t figure out how to adjust my endpoints.
You Can On Both But The Stock ESC Means You Need To Used The Other Traxxas Transmitter With Endpoint Adjustment.
Where did the skids come from?
Thanks
The tires look great on that truck
Hi, do you think this body is possible to use with the Injora 70MM Swamp Claw Tires? or do you think that tarantula should necessarily be used for those 70mm tires? Thanks
forget it....ruclips.net/user/shortsmeLiJ6o8wIg?si=wCSsCZAIscF4LwsU
I ran the 70mm on here for a bit and it did just fine. You’ll likely need some negative offset wheels, wider axles, or both to properly clear the chassis though
So based on what see here…there is no original parts on this build but can be built 100% from aftermarket
Yep, can be completely sourced from parts
Hey do u know if the body can work on scx24 gladiator wheel base ?
I want to put one on an fcx24.
