Anyone into R/C?

Yep what you asking

 

Pm sent

 

Me too.

 

Sweet! I have the same set up. The track systems are heavy enough that they do make the rig surprisingly stable. The trax have been a blast in the snow.

 

Sweet!

I'm genuinely surprised by these tracks. The snow here in the people's republic of NY has been very light and dry for a change, but these tracks carry the TRX-4 across it very well. I was initially following the recommendation of only running a 2S pack with the sport's gearing in snow, but quickly switched back to a 3S. The trailmaster sport in my truck hadn't heated up at all. The gearing in mine isn't exactly the same as stock (17/39, mine 15/39) so that might help. Haven't noticed any issues caused by the front axle in my truck being over-driven either - likely because the much smaller diameter of the drive sprockets when compared to tires has caused the difference in rolling distance between front and rear to be negligible.

 

Who has a TRX-4? Talk me down, Please.

 

Talk you down eh?

 

or not.

 

There’s only one answer and it’s yes. You need the TRX4 As someone who sells you patches, have I steered you wrong?

 

No, Tell me about it. Do you have one? @Scoobarooo

 

I’ve had 4 of them

I mean what do you want to know about them? Theres several different models and depending on what you’re looking to use it for, I can narrow it down. I use a sport myself, which is basically a dumbed down trx4, which is the the best because it crawls much better due to less sprung weight.

 

Crawler, basher. How easy is it to To that with this rig? How easy it to modify?

 

I haven't tried to mod my TRX4. But it's a fun rig to run. Personally, I have other stuff I'll beat on.

You should get one.

 

It’s an easy truck to modify and TONS of them available. It’s good for bashing and crawling in my opinion.

 

I am on brushless and 3s. Running the Mamba X and Holmes Puller Pro. Stock gearing and have not checked my motor temps, but being that it’s winter I am banking on the cold weather to be my edge ...lol. It can go pretty quick on this setup, the tracks getta howlin!

 

Is anyone here using a dx5 rugged?

 

I had a dx4 then changed to Futaba

 

I am. I like it.

 

I use a futaba now, but bought the rugged because I’m tired of beating my futaba up. Lol

 

Would you happen to know the cheapest 3 channel receiver I can use with it? I need a few receivers for my other trucks, but I’d like to avoid spending $80 a receiver.
