    I took all of the inner grease seals out, from the front/rear axles, and the transmission. I added 3mm set screws for adding WD-40. So far so good. I never worry about bearing grease now days. I am also running the Hobbywing quickrun fusion 2-in-1 2300kv system geared 22-39. And this little system turns the 5.80"×4.00" Tires most impressively.

    Man I’ve been eyeing those axles for a month now. I’ve never messed with the internals of the axles yet either and looks pretty involved but as long as you stay organized and know what goes where, definitely doable. Great info!!! Thank you

    Sweet axles my friend.. I am new to crawling, been in r/c on off for 20+ years. Tech and parts support is so much better now. These trx4 platforms are too much fun. Custom parts amd ideas everywhere!😅 I went with the plastic axle tubes with brass outer portal, diff covers, C-hubs, lower shock mounts, weighted Hi Clearance steering and aluminium 2.2 beadlocks w/mud slingers. Oh and full skid set.

    It took me 6 months of crawling in my rock garden of natural rocks with my TRX4 Sport to wear holes in the bottom of its axle pumpkins. That was 4 years ago. Since then I have installed skid plates on it and every other crawler I have subsequently purchased. I wondered if the available aluminum axle choices accommodate the stainless steel skids because rocks grind aluminum away nearly as quick as plastic. I have also fitted DIY chassis skid plates formed/cut from the bottoms of 1-gallon 'Arizona' Ice-tea jugs on my TRX4 Sport, High Trail, and Axial 1/10 Capra. Unless you are looking you can barely see them, but they slide easily over rocks while completely protecting the motor plate, suspension link Heim joints, and the TRX4's frame rails. FYI: Approximately 2mm of ground clearance is lost with this mod.
