Great video, I'm going to start my IR40 build soon just waiting on parts from Amazon. You're the only youtuber that showed and explained in detail the hinge issue with this truck. Thanks again. 🤙

No problem mate! I'm glad the information was helpful, happy building! Thanks for your comment, and thanks for watching!

Perfect timing! I just ordered this kit yesterday. Thank you for pointing out the details about the rear hinge. I plan on using this with a MEUS LCG chassis and laydown servo

That's awesome! I'm glad you were able to find some useful information in the video. Should be a pretty slick build, thanks for hanging out mate 👍

Haha, I was commenting and watching as it disappeared earlier. Great overview and build. Love your attention to details and explanation. May just have to pick up a TRX4M just for this body. Very nice looking especially with that cage. Cheers! (For the second time… haha)

Thanks mate, yeah sorry about that! I grabbed what I thought was a no strings attached music file through my video editing software. Turns out they aren't giving that file away! Whoops! I will be sourcing music files elsewhere from now on. Thanks for watching again and commenting Brian, this is a pretty sweet option for the TRX4M I must say!

Great video, I think it looks awesome!

I have the blue truck. I install 68mm super soft tires and aluminum bead locks. I went back to the stock BF Goodrich tires and wheels. I installed Hyrax foams and vented the tires. Works great. I have stainless steel drive shafts, stainless steel 'slow crawl' gear set. Steel gears in front & rear diff's. Great little crawler...

Looks pretty cool, actually. I just switched to the new Swamp Claws on the stock wheels....So far so good.@@havikhobbies

I already have a trx4m defender, with just wheel weights for trail running in the forest. I'm going to buy a bronco just to be able to make it a custom ir40 with additional brass upgrades, tires, maybe even put the injora MB100 ESC on it... This will be my first real crawler reserved solely for crossing. I find the look cool, injora should make others in the same style. I would love to have a 66 gas in this style, we don't have any real trucks in 1/18

The IR40 is a great platform for a dedicated crawler that still has some scale appeal! Should be an awesome build!

That front grill might look nice cut out and adding in, from behind, some aluminum mesh or some thin stainless weld rod or bike spokes cut for grill bars and epoxied in. Looks really nice though. Maybe for the rear cover, a scale canvas tarp type thing might be an option. Maybe some little snaps to still get access to the wires, etc.

I do like the mesh idea for the grill, I'm going to work on some designs to cut with my vinyl cutter and see what I can come up with. I may also try to make a black kydex deck for the rear cage to cover everything, haven't decided yet! Thanks for the ideas and for hanging out 👍

The Bronco and Defender share the same chassis. I purchased my Trx4m as a red Defender! Only difference is the body and bumpers, chassis is identical.

Can you share where you purchased your little hardware kit from with the additional screws? Looks handy not just for this job, but in general. Thanks!

Nice video. Just a couple of questions. First, did you look at the Injora Tarantula and compare? If so, what made you decide to go with the IR40? Second, I see lots of people with gage blocks on their benches. What do you use them for????

I chose the IR40 Body set because of the looks! I use the 1-2-3 blocks for so many things, setting up jigs for my drill press and belt grinder, using it for a quick 90 degree angle reference, they are very handy around the workshop and get tons of use! Thanks for watching!
