100 Gate Trail w/ My Top Heavy Traxxas TRX4 Defender at UK Scale Nationals

10 місяців тому

We're back at the UK Scale Nationals with my top heavy Traxxas TRX4 Defender to take on Trail 1. This year the trail had rocks, hill climbs, roots and mud and was a great challenge. Sit back, get your favourite drink and snack and see how the Traxxas TRX4 Defender does on the trail.
Before anyone says it, I know it's noisy, something isn't right with the spur to pinion mesh even though I've tried every combination on mounting holes etc! I'll sort it!
I think without the Hobbywing Fusion Pro I would have really struggled at times, as it gave me that instant wheel speed to hop over obstacles in the past I would have gotten stuck on!

@DoURC 8 місяців тому

Imo it's a really good kit and has taken loads of abuse. I found it worked better connecting it directly to the receiver, instead of using the separate power cable. 👍

@DoURC 2 місяці тому

If you search up RC Crawler Accessories you'll see lots of options. I make a lot of mine, like the roof boxes, bedrolls etc as its far cheaper. My TRX4 is brushless as well though, which is more money. It really depends what you want to do with it. I'd suggest run it first, then look at what upgrades you want to do. 👍
