Traxxas TRX4/6/Bronco

[Stussy]

Thought I’d start a thread for any owners.
I recently got a blue TRX4, the scope of mods and upgrades is bigger than I thought!
So far I’ve only got an aerial, swapped the radio to Spektrum as I prefer 2 sticks, got some body clips on cable (makes it much quicker to remove them, and harder to lose, red towing eyes, metal steering servo horn, and nearly finished a new Repsol style shell.
I’ve also removed the fake winch, which allows you to move the front bumper back another notch, which looks better and improves the approach angle.
Edit: I forgot, I did the free tyre mod, see here:

Did you get a Defender? Which colour?
I really wanted an orange one but can only buy it as a separate shell now

Pretty good from what I’ve seen, I’ve seen people say the steering servo horn has broken, but that’s only a few quid to upgrade.

Here’s a good example

It’s an amazing colour in the sun, it’s so bright!
The pictures online don’t do it any justice

I was originally put off due to preferring building it myself.
I was aware of the kit, but then having to add another £150 or so just for the shell put me off.
In the end I just went for RTR to save money. The sacrificing of the build was soon forgotten, especially as with the amount of upgrades and mods available you’ll soon have it in bits any way!

It does seem funny to me that everyone moans about them being top heavy, yet then put tons of extra stuff on the body making it even worse!
I won’t bother with any of that, it might do some performance and handling related upgrades

Pretty addictive isn’t it

Someone posted in the TRX4 group that he had started selling them. Historically I’ve always lost them in grass when changing a battery or whatever, so thought it was a good idea to get them for a few quid.
Also with the paranoia some have regarding lipos, I thought it would be a handy quick release if it was ever needed to gain access quickly.

He sells other bits and bobs too

I r never had any problems with changing speed, it occasionally doesn’t make a clean change but I e not had any problems. I’ve not tried the diffs In motion though
