RC ADVENTURES - Portal Axles: What Are They?! Install on my Trail Finder 2 RC4WD
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 ноя 2024
- PORTAL AXLES for my YOTA! I have had these for about 2 months & finally I have had the time to get them installed. I figured I would cover what portal axles are, and what their uses are - for our new viewers and for folks that are interested in how they work. Are they beneficial to you?! Very possible. By installing these portal axles, I am able to effectively lift the differential housing away from the low clearance hang-up issues - and at the same tim by transferring the load of each axle to Dual same 15t Gears per side.. the work is cut in half by load sharing. Easier on my ESC, Easier on my motor, and easier to turn these tires when there is sticky mud everywhere. Use lots of grease!

I love the winter because we get more of these build videos. I still don't own a single R/C vehicle but know way more about them than I should. As 4+ years of watching this channel will do that to you.
Side note I just went back to see when I subscribed and I think it was around winter of 2012. I found a comment of mine from 4 years ago on "Skate park pain 5" But I also remember project overkill being built so it could have been earlier.
Yes x9, you have been with us for so many years now.. your one of our OG's! We are #RCFamily
For sure. One of these days I will meet ya in person then like 4 years from that finally buy a decent R/C car.
Trx 4 hands down awesome trail runner. Dead bolt for comps. Love the portals.
Loving these style videos & running videos of course. Love working on my trucks. Axial scx-10 gen 1X2, wraith , summit , yeti score & this mouths favorite my trx 4 defender. Loving the portal style axles on the rocks & the trail. Great video
A cool trick that I did with my TF2 was mounting my tires backward on the stock RC4WD steelies. The exact number escapes me at the moment but the track width is increased by around 10-15 mm per axle... The rig became more stable when leaning to the side and when on the ass end. This mod helped with stability and with correct tire placement on your obstacles and with the great help of geometry, helped with that extra pumpkin clearance.
The other thing I did which a lot of people steered clear of was the overdrive of the front axle as it is a pain in the arse to do and definitely takes a bit of RC experience to do correctly. This was the best thing I have EVER done to my rig. Doing the old trailfinder backflip on steep inclines or serious ledges was near eliminated, Turning was increased and the precision I got driving, crawling, extreme crawling, in the high current or algae infested river ways -a total driving rig. The only downside I found with this was the serious mud bogging which I do very little of but the mod works adversely. I am working on a solution to that this years season... Anyone interested in an almost too good driving TF2 or wants improved crawling with precision or simply wants to try something new, just continue on this thread...comment...whatever we call this...and happy trailing
RC portal axels... I've seen it all now! Such a cool addition to any scale trail rig!
Portals with a gear reduction are also much nicer on diffs as they take some of the load off the diff centre. Rock crawlers use these and can get away with a much smaller diff centre and the portal does the majority of the gear reduction. Cool to see them in R/C
What is the Favourite RC in your Garage?!
RCSparks Studio dont have none :/
RCSparks Studio My Trail Finder 2!
RCSparks Studio I've got a rc4wd tf2 and even tho it doesn't have a lot travel in suspension but it's so realistic
Custom impala stockcar
RCSparks Studio my deadbolt
ALWAYS my go-to page to see ideas of what I want to do to my builds....thanks!
The RC4WD portal axles don't have gear reduction. They definitely lift your pumpkin but both gears on each side are 15 tooth. Its still 1:1 gear ratio.
You're right.. reduction is a confusing word - I should have said load-sharing
That's what I thought :D
Thanks for sharing. It was interesting to have a look inside these portal axles.
Nice build and the trialfinder has now a very good ground clearance with the portal axles......thumbs up my friend 🔝🔝👍👍
Nice set of portal axles! Thanks for sharing the build! 👍🏼
It blows my mind the detail on these scale crawlers. I installed a set of chromoly axles on my jeep, other than the size, the visuals are uncanny. Great vid. Seen these portal axles installed on side-by-sides. You better toss some on your RZR Medic.
Well I dont think I am going to use this knowledge any time soon, but learned something new
More rc info that is greatly appreciated, and now more of a reason to buy or build a crawler.
Looks Awesome Medic. Can't wait to see it run.
Awesome medic Love it I just got my trail finder to put together I just got my 30 turn TEK I N combo got to do some siring still need a receiver and a steering servo I want to go with high-tech I got the HSR 9370 TH hi tech coming, great-looking rig Love the cage thanks for sharing
Hi Andy!! Hey man.. sounds like your ready to rock.. Literally! haha :) Thanks man.. I always have little surprises.. like the cage - in my magic box of tricks ....
Nice build
Nice how to and one of my favorite RCs has to be the orange rock bouncer.
Wow that truck is sick and so are those Axel's!!!
That's awsome. It means anyone can now have these axles on any rig really with a bit of modding
I love the look of that truck, nice job.
I love this truck! So amazing looking
Whats up man... thanks for the great comment on my truck!
RCSparks Studio no problem! I petsonally like all your rigs
Another cool video, cheers Medic. Correct me if I'm wrong though, those portal axles don't have any reduction in gear ratio, they're 1:1, they'll reverse the tire direction. Look awesome though and lifts the yota even higher, looks on point 👌 👌 👌 👌
Correct.. I should have said Load Sharing.. :) My bad !
Your videos are so awesome I love rc sparks it’s amazing keep up the good work
Hey man, this is a group effort - I couldnt do this show without viewers like you bud - Thanks for commenting!
WOW!! Looks awesome Medic!! I can see this as being a great upgrade to have. Thanks for sharing.. :)
Good job still can't wait for the bumblebee dually
Nice!! Now we need to see her crawl!
So pretty! love those axles!
Yeah man!! They sure look great under this machine .. Ill put them to the test soon enough!
Wow! Nice upgrades there.. Been a subsrciber for a few days now.. Well, what can i say.. I'm new in RC Vehicles and still trying to find the right one for me.. It has been a great help looking and watching all your videos thoroughly.. Still not really decided which one to buy though.. Kudos! From the Philippines!
Great vid! Thinking of a good set of trail/crawlers for the sun and I and this video helped a ton.
I am really happy to hear that Chris.. Father Son time is an AWESOME time when RC'ing!
Were just up in lloydminster! Love watching your videos!
Great update, Mack!
Awesome tutorial Medic! Thanks again! :)
Great video man!! Funny how the trx4 cones with them stock but these are wayy better quality of course!! (Edit) can you do more like classic videos with good music and great bashing because I'm starting to miss that style of videos!!
As the seasons are turning cold my friend.. I can help you more.. but as I get older, and as my responsibilities have changed as a Dad and Husband - as well as maintaining our property.. All the while I have a back injury.. I do my very best for you my friend :)
Wow already at 3,700+ views already, that's just nuts, keep up the good work my fellow Canadian friends.
Hi Tank! Good to see you man.. hey, thanks so much!
RCSparks Studio bro good job on the vid can you recommend a good rc crawler around 1000$
has olways great man :) , thanks for all this videos you make. a greeting and happy weekend from this other side 👍
That is a Great Tuning for a Great Rig 👍🏻
awesome good job medic i dont have a trail truck yet but i under stood that great job
Hey man, I am so glad to hear you enjoyed the video today! Thank you :)
no problem i love watching you man
Great tutorial brother 👍
Great video as always, been tempted with this on my G1
Great video Aaron
limitless rc eh it's u
_RC_KING_ ha its you
Hey Limitless, thanks so much for taking the time to see the film today - and even more - for commenting!
limitless rc thx
Very interesting, and informative. Good job my friend.
WOW!, James!! How are you dude! Its been ages brother.. I was beginning to think you were gone :) Glad to see you
RCSparks Studio still here, and smiling with you my friend 😎
That's looking great 👌. Don't make to mutch car's rady becaus it is almost the real wintertime then you must work for inside my friend 😊.
Great video. Love the tutorials and how to videos. 😊
Love the blue and exocage
what a great idea with the zip ties on the axle.
One more good thing : On the Traxxas you'll probably get less tourqe twist, as a certain percentage of the tourqe transfer happens in the portals. Meaning the main driveline from the gearbox to the diffs can run at a higher speed - transfering less tourque - thus reducing tourque twist.
This particular set do seem to (if my eyes arnen't tricking me) have the same size on both the gears - so no gear reduction benefit here.
Awesome video as always
nice!..love my trx4 bronco with portal axles there quiet genius...😎
Wait so in theory you could put a servo on the rear axle and make your truck all wheel steer! You should try it and see if it works
Looks awesome Aaron. I always use mip tools. They seem to work the best
Pretty cool, potential 4WS setup :)
Helical diff setup ftw!!
Great video again
I like that rear suspension
Awsome truck man
Awsome tutorial. Have to get some of these.
Mean looking yota😎😎
I have a TRX-4 and found out I couldn't use RC4WD 1.9 wheels. I got a new set of RC4WD 1.9 Raceline Monster Beadlock wheels and can't use them with the portal axles. In fact the inside diameter of any wheel needs to be at least 38mm to be able to use them with the portal axles. I got a set of SSD 1.9" Steel Trail Beadlock Wheels (Black) and a set of their new Portal Brass Weights for the front axle. The weights are very heavy 75g/2.64oz each and are easy to install. They replace the outer plastic portal covers. I did it with the axle on the truck. I also have 3oz of lead weight in each front wheel and 2oz in each rear wheel.
I like this video the body covers was kool 👍🏽
Whats up Lamarr! Hey man, thanks so much! Im stoked that you enjoyed this video today... Im always on the hunt for neat and entertaining ways to educate and inspire! Thanks for leaving a comment
Cool video, nice tutorial... i realy like to watch you videos
Looks good wish I had one !
No reduction if both gears are 15t. (All 4 actually) just wanted to point out that minor misdirection. Nice work on everything else.
Sweet rig, thanks for the video.ima a visual learner, mow iwant portal axles
Love my TRX4
Man I've been really wanting that
Its an awesome truck. I have to say - one of my favourites of all time
Good video 📹 👍
Great video learned alot once again thank you medic,your tf2 is looking real good,like to see it out on the trail before the snow hits..hint hint..i have 2 favorites,ones my scx10 trail honcho ive been upgrading for some time now so its pretty well set up, but im currently building another toyota (88 sr5 body)on another scx10 chassis i required which is becoming my new favorite.thanks for the vid bud keep it up.cheers medic
Sweet truck medic
Love my portal axles on my 65 VW, turns my 35's like nothin'.
Bahaha... !
That is pretty neat 😉
great how to video thanks for the info
Since the portals reverse the direction, you'll now need to run those nice helical gears in the wrong direction.
I just switched the polarity of my motor
I think portals dont make a big difference in rock crawling,maybe a bit better in the mud.Nice tutorial.
Wow ill b getin these for my trail finder 2 but i wonder how well they proform u should do a vid of them on rocky dirt nice vid and very informitive tu man
I might get a new rc soon. What would you recommend. $100-$300aud gotta be a 4x4 offroader with some flex for a beginner 4x4er
Love it
huh, i didnt know there was an axle conversion from regular to portal. learn something new everyday!
That's awesome. Peace
Axial deadbolt ax10 oldest and favorite truck have beat the heck out of it
As YOU SHOULD, Krash King!! Haha :)
You even have the answer your self under the specifications "Gear Ratio: 1 : 1"
Getting one or two traxxas slash trucks for Christmas
nice axles !
Whats up dude!! Thanks man.. you will really like these. They are excellent to look at.. but I want to test them
Hi Medic, so when will this truck go on auction ? Lol, just kidding bro. Beautiful truck
Going to use those portal axles for an upcoming TTC?
Ive been trying to find portal axels for awhile. Seen an rc with them. The traxxas trx4
Old but still loving it great video just got into crawling made a few videos on my channel keep up the great work I just ordered my set of portals for my truck and a new ECO Power Wp 120t steering servo but now my tires hit my shocks any Suggestions
Do the judge in the mud please like so rc sparks can see
Would like to have these on my Bronco Ascender, will these work for that?
Have you ever thought about using paddle tires backwards on one of your rock crawler they'd act like the old mining dredges I think they'd work just a thought
Great video medic like always are you planning any new build videos coming soon and I was wondering if you have thought about get one of the 1/5 scale monster trucks I have the haniable monster truck and he is highly modified and Ian about 65% done with him I love it and it's a blast to bash and race
Hey buddy.. im new to this put portal axles on my rgt86100 looks good. Now how do I fix the gears so they go the same way?🤔🤔
Are these portal axles still available? I checked it’s not on RC4WD’s website anymore and can’t find them anywhere.
2x4 Slash, My son has a Rustler. :-)
Doesnt this reverse your tire rotation? You dont mention it. easy enough to switch motor wires I guess?
Yup, I was going to address this in the next film. My esc reverses polarity.. I forgot to mention it
You need some portals for your RZR.....
Haha :) My RZR is pretty high already though man.. and I love that machine
cool!!
Hey Medic, i asked a few days ago in your Airbrushing Video, why havent you got any Airbrushing done by hemistorm? hes done them for you in the past and his work is amazing.
Love the video HOWEVER as a fellow Canadian it would have been great if you had provided a link to your tool that would ship to Canada. You Amazon link says "This item does not ship to Canada"
Thank you my fellow Canadian RC Brother! Hey I understand you ... but then I have to put one for every country! haha ;) At least you now know what it is called ..and I hope you can find it on .ca im sure its there!
Hey dj medic i have a question for you what kind grease do you us in your axles
Will these portal axles fit on the gmade komodo
Hey Aaron what do u think the best beginner rc crawler is? I really love the crawler videos and rock crawling in general and want to get one. But not sure what’s the best. And suggestions??
My friend - I wish I could say for you - as it is all personal choice. Some Brands to investigate would be Axial Vaterra RC4WD Traxxas, HPI and GMade. These are a few of the mainstream brands of good, current quality. RC4WD is super scale stuff - while the other brands are more "General Trail Trucks"
RCSparks Studio alright I see thank your for the advice. Can u make a backyard crawling videos or a videos on your rock pile soon??😁. Love the channel
Nice
