I need some serious upgrades on my TRX-4 Sport!

I like how you show that you are learning and don't know everything like you've been doing it since they were invented. It can be frustrating and I'm glad that's not all edited out

Hey RC Girl nice job. For your issue on descents it looks like your ESC is still set to trail mode which is only 50% drag brake. This is how it is set when new. If you change it to crawl mode the drag brakes will be set at 100% braking. In crawl mode it will stop on downhills if you let off the throttle. 100% drag brake is 100% braking. It also lets you go directly from forward to reverse without having to double tap the throttle control. Doing this makes a huge difference in crawling performance.

I really like the side by side comparisons of before and after the upgrades. Split screen on the same obstacles is awesome. This video was incredibly helpful. Thanks.

Thank you so much for being thorough and weighing the rig before and after. I appreciate that!

Great install. Proven Results!! I dig it! It seems climbing up is emphasized more than coming down in competition.

Excellent video. You've given a complete newbie a few things to consider. Thank you for taking the time to create a vid, I know editing can take quite a bit of time. So thanks again.

Awesome Job! Your way ahead of us Dudes

In real life rock crawlers there are "suck down winches" and also "limiting straps". Have RC crawlers ever tried those concepts? Suck Down Winch: a small ATV style winch mounts to chassis frame rail or crossmember above front axle and beneath or near motor. The winch rope attaches to center of axle housing. When activated on steep incline obsticles, it sucks down and compresses the front end suspension to prevent suspension unloading on incline when nose is feeling light. Front end "limiting straps" are similar concept but do not compress suspensions, rather just prevents too much front suspension unloading on steep incline. Would be cool to see on RC crawler, even if just there for appearance of realism.

Good grief that is amazing stuff, absolutely stunning upgrades.

1:37 Really awesome! That option makes me want trx4!!!

RC Girl - thank you for your informative, laid back style. Other channels are a little too much on the "show" that the creators give, and tend to lose focus on RC. Excellent work with this, I know it's an old vid, and I've seen some of your others. Keep up the outstanding work!

WoW... your truck is a BEAUTY!

Very detailed review. I learned a lot. Thanks for sharing.

Wow!!! Exactly what I need a Woman to share my love for the R/C Hobby ,that's not worried bout chipping a nail, Now that's Beautiful!!! Much Respect and God Bless!!!

That is awesome!! Appreciate you sharing RC girl. I have the Broncos two of them, I done the brass weights on one of them does make a difference happy trailing

Gosh I love having this around, my childhood dream toys. The handling is much really better with weights. Nice video I'm your subs now.

Damn! That is a lot of additional weight! What a difference! Fantastic job with the side to side comparisons. 👍👍

Me & my lil boy just got into crawler rc's... thanks for the teaching lessons, this is a great way to start kids into tech & mechanics. Im learning too....

This is the coolest thing ever , the life-like detail is crazy impressive 👍

Just found your video and just started R/Cing, got me a starter dune buggy and having a blast with it. Now I see this TRX and wow. The additional great looking parts are awesome and the side by side was as well. Out of my league for now. thanks for the video

Really nice video. Well planned and thought out. Thank you so much.

Very nice upgrades and very nicely filmed.

Nicely done, well presented! Keep it rollin' 😎

This video was incredibly helpful, thank you so much.

Great video love the side by side shots! Thank you BIG RC Girl!

Just wanted to say thank you for posting your videos, my 6yo daughter loves watching you and now she wants to build a backyard course like yours!

Great video ! I love your honesty. We all assemble thing multiple times 😊

I'm finally getting my ten year old little girl interested in RC she likes you because now she sees other girls like RC also. Please do an update on how this brass holds up. Thanks. 😁

Like you i was struck that way also . . . this Gal is a trail blazer! I've watched a handful of of previous videos that always displayed knowledge and sincerity, this topic is a bit more complex and she tackled it w the same results. A terrific role model for girls who are drawn to STEM stuff, talking about it doesn't move it forward, moving it forward does. Hey! we're not eye candy pieces of fluff, we're the real deal. Kind of mirrors rock crawling = progress will be an inch at a time and add up, and good for You, her and everybody that your daughter's choices aren't limited. PS it sometimes strikes me w some of the accessories sold for crawlers and military RCs = grown men playing w dolls. All 3 of you have Fun, fix things and learn along w keep making progress in many ways.

Those were great upgrades. Especially impressed with the assent up the bridge.

Your course looks awesome, super jelly! It seemed to really help the climbing, but yeah, that stair decent was rough. Again, sweet course you have there!

Dang got that Traxxas hooked up.Some fine parts added to it.

Really nice work putting that video together. I'm sure that took a lot of time. Thanks

I’m glad to see you getting into working on your rig. Next step chassis kit build, that’s whah I did.

Great tutorial here. Going to be doing this to my wife’s rig. I’m taking notes. 👊🏼

One of your videos for trx4 popped up on my feed so i watched it. NEVER thought id see a woman into RC as much if not more than myself. Thats awesome. Keep up the awesome content

Those shocks look soo cool. And nice vid

That looks like great quality items 😎👍

Very through review/overview! Well done!

Great video.....looking forward to upgrading mine

Great video!! I like your crawling course!👍👍

Thank you very much for all the videos, they are very well made, and very fun to watch. P. Petursson Iceland

Very professional video. I learn a lot . Thanks

You should have way more subs. Clear audio, nicely presented and clear info, all without being over the top in-your-face like most RC channels.

Nice upgrades good job challenging yourself, my wife and I enjoy your channel, I'm getting her the TRX 4 Mercedes Benz I believe it's the same platform, thank's for sharing keep having fun with rc

Cant wait to get into this crawling hobby

Interesting. Thank Q, for doing the video.

Added similar weight to mine & also bought from RCMart when I visited them in Hong Kong last year; you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find the store! I also bought awesome & rather heavy beadlocks from them which stopped me getting diffs etc. as it would be way too heavy. Looking forward to th shocks upgrade video :)

Liked the fact that the upgrade made the front end hug the terrain better. Made for better performance.

Just subscribed cause I just purchased a TRX4 and was looking for upgrades great video can’t wait to show my girls that women work on RC cars too keep up the great work ...

Nice video,it is good to see how parts is doing befor you get them your self so thx a lot :P

R/C Girl, Way to go...I should have guessed your comment list goes on forever!!!. Great job. , and very thorough video. I am actually getting ready to order a Traxxas 4 Sport truck( after selling my Cross Demon....bad transmission engineering) but I really like the weight and beefiness of metal components. You have solved my problem with this video. Thank you. Cool looks, good performance from an already proven performer chassis. I love your enthusiasm and willingness to tackle the unknown in an otherwise mostly male hobby. Keep it up....we need more of you.

Thanks for excellent vid... I haven't bought my TRX Crawler RC yet, (currently a run nitro, which is pretty anti-social now I live in a city) so I'm doing alot of research. This has been a great vid to show what crawling accessories available! Thanks

Awesome Traxxas crawler, looks sweet and great accessories you installed, thanks for sharing RC Girl, thumbs up! :)

Hi from NH. Very good information, Thanks 🔧🔩

You did a good job building that RC

Those are awesome upgrades and look great love your rig, I just lifted my TRX-4 may have to check out the upgrades you did. Great vid keep it up 👍

This is a awesome video!!👍👍😎. Those upgrades really do make your rig look even more sick👍 Full watch, and 👍.

those are a lot of work and can be tedious. you did it and it looks amazing. it is a noticeable improvement performance wise. great vid Thank you.

Just no facial expressions at all while driving. Full concentration mode. Love ur style making videos.

Awesome video, very cool build and comparison! Low weights are a great upgrade.

Built these up for my trophy edition today. Really good quality and seem to work well too!! Front end seemed much more planted. 😊

Awesome! Now you're drive train certified.

Hi! Hayley I'm trying to get my Beautiful Wife of 30 yrs into RCing and she's really excited to get her own 1/8 scale MT but I don't think I'll ever get her to do the dirty work like you do! hahaha! She won't be Filling no shocks with oil or diffs with grease - that'll be my job for sure but that's OK because just having her bashing with me will be great!

that was a great video, may have swayed me to put a set on my bronco

I have several Rc4wd models and recently purchased the Trx-4, just by curiosity. I must say that it's an excellent rig right out of the box. Now it's time to install some serious metal axles, metal portals housing and off course a winch. More weight of the under components equals to a better planted vehicle. Nice vid ma'am; Keep them up!

You're awesome, thanks, the only thing I missed was the cost of everything, I don't have one yet, very tempting, yet personally I like the new tactical unit, it's a tiny bit cheaper, & these days saving what I can helps, most my Axial builds have at least an alloy front axle & alloy wheels to keep the weight low but thanks I go look them up as far as $ cost

Un video muy útil para mi, muchas gracias RC GIRL

Hi great video I added brass weight to my TRX4 landy as you said top heavy, my TRX4 bronco is stock not so easy to roll.looking forward to see result of those shocks.

Just ordered these for my trophy edition. 🙌

Great Video,Thanks for Sharing. I have 2 Trx4 Bronco's 1 stk 1 lifted I may do some of those Mods to my lifted Bronco.

Great video!! Liked & subscribed. That brass upgrade kit looks really high quality & solid!

Super video👍👍

Nice parts ! I went the cheap way on a build a few years back, i made some rims in stainless on the lathe and a lot of little bolt on weights, it worked pretty good
