    I love my Defender and my wife loves her sport TRX 4. Best trucks in our collection. We love competing with them. Got to say that her sport is a beast in the rocks with just steel wheels and proline super scamper tires as mods. She built custom high clearance bumpers and sliders that are a must.

    Some really solid mods!! 1080 is one of if not thee best brushed ESCs out there. AGF servo is a solid servo that make se incredible power. Interested in seeing what you do with the sport kit!!

    • @TheRCNetwork
      @TheRCNetwork  4 года назад +1

      It's weird, I've had this 1080 on hand for a couple of years now....just never have ran a brushed motor. And, yes, I'm a huge AGF believer!

    I did the chassis kit also. Being a former racer I care little about the body being all fancy, it’s going to get destroyed.
    The trx4 is an amazing vehicle! Mine is basically stock, just a few parts to strengthen the chassis and brass portal covers in the front. I do run two smaller 1400mah batteries, one up front and one in the stock tray. Keeps a little weight in the rear.
    I haven’t needed to change the motor or esc yet but have the 1080 n a HH 12T crawmaster sport setup waiting.
    I’m impressed every time I take mine out for a run on the rocks, the crawler TA tires are insane!

    As for your end result, do you think its a better option to spend the extra $100 and get the Bronco setup RTR out of the box and start there, or does the chassis kit give you a better end result? I am debating on going between the chassis kit or just buying a RTR bronco kit. Mainly because I know im going to mod it to death, so do I just start with something bare and build it how I want it to begin with, or just buy a RTR setup and throw a battery in it and have fun.

    • @TheRCNetwork
      @TheRCNetwork  Год назад +1

      In the end, the Bronco and the Kit I built are nearly identical. You'll lose the expertise you get from building a kit, other than that, you're set. The Bronco is a great body, BTW

  • @thomasgross8289
    @thomasgross8289 4 года назад +1

    I've ran my trx4 sport since they came out, only things I've done was change the stock servo for the $25 dollar cheapo on Amazon and a set of deepwoods tires.
    It's a beast performance wise and I've yet to break anything! I started out in the hobby with a Redcat gen7 sport and have done LOTS of mods and upgrades to it and the trx4 beats it hands down right out the box...but still love my redcat lol.

    Hey Rich, the Axial RR10 Bomber interior fit perfectly in the Sport Body so it would probably fit that body also. You would have to work out a rear support where the other has the underside of the bed surface to use.

      Yes, the TRX platform in general is great....which is why I picked up a second. As for the BFG's - I'm a huge fan right now. I think for fast stuff, the hyrax is still king....but these BFG's keep getting better with each run

    What wheels were the First set you had put on them? The black "stock" looking ones

    • @TheRCNetwork
      @TheRCNetwork  Год назад

      They're the SSD RC Steel Slot wheels - a complete pain the ass to assemble on a tire - hard to clamshell them and orientate them, as they're not even from slot to slot. They have 6 lug nuts and 5 slots, so you have to keep rotating them until you can get the slots to align with the lugs. I ended up running longer screws to clamshell them initially until I could get the tire mount started. I ran the truck in water and had to dry the foams and never put them back on. www.ssd-rc.com/1.9-steel-slot-beadlock-wheels-(black).html

    Are you not concerned about running trails with the front overdrive installed, my understanding is that whilst ideal for crawling the difference in front and rear gearing is not suitable for trail running.

    • @TheRCNetwork
