Traxxas TRX-4 Sport Best Upgrades and Mods

Why is it squealing so much? Mine just started doing that

Just bought one this morning, good to see how to improve it’s crawling abilities

Will the stock traxxas controller work with this esc

Can someone please tell me the exact motor model here, the link just takes me to the page with a bunch of motors

I'm forced give the instant Zeek Award of Excellence to the RC Review Channel for the use of spare parts to achieve the desired result.
I can see Subscribing was not in vain.

I bought myself a TRX4 Sport, myself, for my first crawler. I'm usually a high speed basher type, but after buying this, I understand why people enjoy crawlers. I really get it. That thing, even right out of the box, blew away my expectations. I drove it through a local creek with a waterfall and huge rocks. Don't ask me how, but I managed to scale that waterfall, along with the giant rocks at the top. Second crawler run with a crawler.

what about inner fenders with front battery mount?

I dont know of this is a thing others do but on metal rock sliders, put skate board wax on them, makes them slide like butter on a hot pan super slippery and you dont get hung up

Thanks for your amazing videos! I've learned so many things from you. If you don't mind, would you please share the wheels' brand/model? I loved the low-profile/old-school design of them. Thank you again for your efforts!

what car did you get the shock mounts and screws from the Sport or another car?

Thank you for these and all your other tips. Getting ready to start putting together my Sport kit. What do you recommend/end up with for shock oil weights on the trx4 sport? I am doing pure crawling setup and very little brass, want to keep weight down. I have heard anywhere from 10wt to 35wt.

Is it possible to do your slider raise with spacers mod on the stock sliders? The RC4WD sliders are on my future upgrades list but want to do the mod now. Thx

What park is that

How long is the run time with that battery?

So did you cut the bottom of the body off to move the sliders up?

LCG battery traybis the most important mod for this awesome truck. Inlove it and I am glad I got the sport unit…

I cut an inch off the rear section of the chassis rails that don't do anything. Then cut an inch out the back of the body and riveted on the original rear end in. Allows much steeper climb angles

Mine has decelopped the same squeaky noise from the second ride. Is that coming from the shaft knockles?

Hola buenas,mi pregunta es sobre el ruido eso q hace al girar motor??
Por que?
No el sonido del variador ni del servo...es cuando coges velocidad relativamente...

Francis, what do you think of the holmes crawl master 540 magnum 11T?

I am impressed by the metallic green colour. I look for it but could not find. Could you please help and inform which it is?

What happened to the long travel kit? Just about to pull the trigger on that for my trx4 sport then I see this video.

Please tell me which mounts and screws you use for the RC4WD Sliders - Cant find anything. Thanks!

Just added the bowhouse battery tray and it hits the links reducing travel in the rear suspension. Any recommendations?

holly molly u can`t even hear that motor when is so slow

What springs and shock oil, did you end up using?

Does this truck have locking Diffs

Hello mate, your channel is starting to be by far one my favourites, I’m treating myself to the trx4 sport kit for Christmas. I was also going to get the hobbywing 1080 esc when reading the manual I though it said the motor turn limit was 16t but you have fitted a 10t, is it still running ok?

Getting a trx 4 sport for Christmas wanna add a little power and speed but not to much for crawling any suggestions and is there anything u have to do before taking them in the water

Can't wait to get my 27 turn..

Are you still using stock gears?

You didnt recommend one of the most important upgrades tires. I will be doing mostly trail crawling as in this video. Mix between dirt,mud and rocks. What all around tire would you suggest for the trx4 Sport? I plan to get metal wheels with beadlocks. I know many like the hyrax predator with dual stage foams for rocks, but is there a better tire that does well in mud and loose dirt as well as rocks?

Where did you get the rock sliders spacers?

Thank you for sharing, always can count on great tips, trucks and ideas😎🙏🏜 appreciate you brother. Any special gearing with the motor?

What rims are those?

What brand and size of tires please?

Mega like 👍👍👍

Where did you get the rims ?

First of thanks for all the videos, I just bought the trx4 sport kit and appreciate the info and testing you do. What battery should I get I ordered the hobbywing 1080 esc, got a Holmes hobbies motor and good servo.. 3s or 4s? And how big? Thanks again.

How did you get reverse rotation, swap polarity? Isn't it bad to run them retarded?

Is the body easy to cut? Do you just use normal scissors?

Were you running a bec for that Savox servo in this video?

I flipped my bumper mounts, cut off the trailer hitch, raised my body 1/2 inch, raised running boards with 14mm spacers (no need to cut body), body is so light that top heavy is minimal.. Mostly all free (except for 14mm aluminum spacers).. Am satisfied. goal was free or cheap improvements for a more capable trail rig (not trying to make a mountain goat out of it)..

Has anybody else had trouble programming the 1080? I press the set button and power at same time it starts up I keep in in nutral then press black button again and it stops? I have a gt3b radio please help

Love your TRX-4 Sport Video

Hey there, can I run the Savox 1210 with the factory ESC?


I am hoping to avoid BEC and new ESC for now.

Awesome videos. I learn a lot!! What was your gearing for this video?

I have never owned an RC vehicle, (only a couple drones), I watched many of your videos and it came down to the Gen8, Sendero, TRX-4 and decided on the TRX-4, because I think right out of the box there are less concerns (or weak points) that might need addressing.. 1st probably would be the servo but other than that, it should be good to go for most applications.. Most everyone has the red or blue so I decided to go with the tan and am going to put a big tiger face sticker on the hood.. lol..

If you run taller tires on the front vs the rear that would be like an overdrive right?
