Got A TRX-4M. Looking for mods.

[ZaneC]

I lust got a Traxxas TRX-4M and I was wandering if some of ya'll have any mod ideas.

 

[Doom!]

I added wheel weights, the Traxxas light kits, and Injora high clearance links to mine.
this might give you some ideas as to what's available INJORA TRX-4M stuff

I’ve been working on a Lexan body for mine.
I’m a Ford guy who bought the Bronco be cause I liked the body.
Thing is it’s so top heavy I think the best thing you can do before adding weight down low is reduce weight up high.

 

[ZaneC]

What have you done to give it a low center of gravity?

Performance, scale or both?

 

[ZaneC]

Performance.

 

[Jamr]

Maybe this will give you some ideas.

I have done these.

My TRX4 is mostly scale so I have not done a lot of performance upgrades. Although If I were to go down that road, I would definitely look at the fusion motor/ESC.

This is a rabbit hole that you're jumping down. I started with an original SCX-10 Kit and then ended up upgrading everything except the frame rails. The cost? Well, it's a good thing that I don't have a wife as I would be in the doghouse for the next several years.

As far as upgrades go, I'd recommend better tires on true beadlock wheels and weight down low such as weights inside the wheels. Maybe also some lights.

This is my money pit:

 

[ZaneC]

Agreed.

I can't figure out why Traxxas put the wrong size of allen wrenches in the box...
Did any of y'all have the same problem?

 

[Doom!]

Didn't even try the supplied allen wrenches. now I'm going to have to look, if I can remember which ones came with it.

 

[ZaneC]

3 allen wrenches, 1 four-way wrench.

 

[Doom!]

I remember using the 4 way wrench, but I used my MIP tools.

 

[ZaneC]

Same here.
What tools do you use?

 

[ZaneC]

Update: I figured out that Traxxas does NOT include a 1/16 in. allen wrench.

For performance, I went with portal cover weights both front and back. It's about as low as you can put the weight, and since it isn't rotating you don't increase stress on the drivetrain (any more than the same weight anywhere else would, that is). It was also a good opportunity to grease up the gears in the portals. I have heard some people have clearance issues with them (too big for inside certain wheels), but I upgraded to beadlock wheels by the same brand at the same time and didn't have any issues.

Hey y'all, just wondering if anybody has inner fender ideas for the TRX-4M.
Just trying to let less dirt in.

I lust got a Traxxas TRX-4M and I was wandering if some of ya'll have any mod ideas.

Add weight down load (wheel and hub weights, axles, wheels), more grip (new tires), and probably metal suspension links. That'd be the basic, but effective upgrades.

All kinds of things you can print on Thingiverse.
