About 2 years ago bought another truck in hopes of getting my wife interested in at least one other thing I like to do. I bought a TRX4 Sport that came with tracks, decent truck she has driven it about 3 times total and it mostly just sits there. A friend of mine has a build he did a couple years back that he built from stuff just laying around. Ended up using a TRX4 platform, installing a fusion 2300KV, a powered steering servo, 3D tire inserts and multiple other accessories. He put a 46 Dodge Power Wagon cab on it, a stinger bumper, and the Warn 8274 winch. The truck performs pretty much flawlessly. To add to it he decided to build a trailer for it out of another truck chassis. Turning it around, powering it and making it steerable. As if the thing didn't perform well enough already, this addition is absolutely amazing and makes it nearly unstoppable. No matter how much I hinted and offered to have him build me one, it didnt work. I finally decided to convert the Sport into a Power Wagon.
With his help and advice I was able to learn all that was needed and the guidance of how and where install everything. He suggested lengthening the wheel base, even though it's only about ⅝" longer he said it makes a huge difference, so I went with it. Lengthened rail links and drive shaft, changed out shock towers, had to remove rear wheel well liners along with rock lights, and trim back the front liners in order for the narrow hood to fit. Just about there, waiting on the light kit which has bucket lights, fender marker lights, cab side lights, and tail lights. Then figure a way to remount the rock lights and add 1/10 scale accessories.
