I'm Traveling To...

[ZaneC]

Mexico! That's right. I'm leaving Texas to go visit family in Kansas and Colorado, and then Mexico. Sadly, I can only bring one RC car, as my family of six has to fit in a minivan. I think I might bring my TRX-4 Sport. What do y'all think?

 

[Tunedfrog]

You would find more places to run your crawler than the bashers I would think.

 

[DavidB1126]

Bring all of your cars. Just put your siblings on the roof and they'll be fine.

Would probably find lots of crawler trails for the TRX4 in Colorado.

I found a site a few years ago. Not sure if it's still up but its a map and people put tracks and crawler trails and bash spots on the map. I think it's called rcmap.io. I think that would help out a bit if you need to find a spot. Or Google Earth is always a good place to look around.

Yeah, that's the same thing a friend said.

That map is neat! I searched in the Yucatan area, but there was nothing.

True. I've been thru Texas, & west Texas, San Antonio & down into Mexico, across the border on foot. Nothing but desert, rocks, & few cactus. Oh & heat. Heat might not be good on some RCs.
*note* The bridge we crossed on foot was the same bridge where the scene in 'No Country for Old Men' was filmed when Llewellyn Moss crosses into Mexico & offers the fella 100 dollars for his coat.

 

[Chubaka]

Be safe and don't forget to strap up like a bungee jumper.

 

[Doom!]

Enjoy your trip and make sure you bring everything you need to run and repair your TRX4 which is a good choice.

 

[ZaneC]

Are there any spares I should bring?

 

[Chubaka]

Are there any spares I should bring?

Whatever you plan on breaking.
Screws, nuts, and tires are good too. Go ahead and pack the radio, battery, and charger as we all forget those..

 

[DavidB1126]

Everything of anything. Lol.

I overpack way too much. When in vacation the other month. I brought my parts bag for the tt02 even though I didn't bring the tt02. It was already in my backpack to begin with so.

Last year I brought all my carpet tires. Even tho I wasn't going to a carpet track ...

 

[ZaneC]

I think I'll bring extra tires and hardware. Other parts I can order from Traxxas. Oh yeah, and I'm also thinking about bringing my RC Sherman tank.

That tank can help in Mexico.

It's still gonna be sad, leaving my Bandit...

I remember the scene, great movie. One of my favs.

I figure I should bring some bearings. Does a Traxxas TRX-4 axle bearing kit have at least one of each bearing that I'd need? https://www.amazon.com/sspa/click?i...2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1

 

[Rowdyray]

I think that's just for the front axle. This kit covers everything.

https://www.amazon.com/Winter-Eveni...f39f6b18590e3c8c815cbeaee98b7f1e&gad_source=1

For a few bucks more you can get Fast Eddy's

Have fun and stay safe... Mexico has been off my destination list for a couple of years now.

Don't worry, I will.

Yeah. I figured I could get just a few replacements.

I understand. Have fun and don't drink the water....stick to tequilla. Lol.

I use the Winter Evening bearings. They are just as good as Fast Eddie bearings. They're all made in China anymore, unless you buy from a US based industrial supply.
