Traxxas TRX4 Sport - It's better this way!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Traxxas TRX4 Sport is better this way, because it's simpler! I take a first look at this pared-down version of the TRX platform and consider some new upgrades and tease an upcoming project!
How do you think the TRX4 Sport stacks up against the RedCat Gen8? Post your comments below.

    I have had a couple of the Traxxas trx scale rigs bronco, mercedes 6x6. But the Sport I bought to take new people out actually became my favorite because of its simplicity and I didn’t feel bad running through rocks here in the PNW. Detailed rigs are great for the trail and looking at for sure but I almost want to cry when I rip a plastic mirror off.

    I love running my TRX4 - Bronco with open diffs. For those of us who aren’t strictly running these trucks on tailored obstacle courses, the ability to keep the diffs open make less challenging, backyard or beach runs much more fun and challenging. Furthermore, attempting the same lines with locked and open diffs yields very different driving dynamics, so the same course can be run multiple times, but stay interesting.

    Why though? the kit makes all the sense in the world… You dont pay for the overpriced Body Selection but get the full TRX4 experience in a kit. Lets say fine you can live without the locking diffs (Which is not scale, Real cars are not diff locked 24/7) you still have that Single speed trans that gets you a 35:1 ratio with a single speed so you can change your ratio with pinion and spur but you will be forever locked in a single ratio. The Kit has the full 2 speed trans and it gets you 2 incredible and wide choices of gearing.. 1st gear with it industry leading 65:1 and its 2nd gear with the massive 27:1... Simply put the full TRX4 will out crawl and out speed the Sport in box stock form, Add a brushless system and the 2 speed trans gets even better. I love my Bronco and I would not lose the locking diffs and 2 speed trans for anything... I can out maneuver any other crawler in a friendly race because of the unlocked diffs so I can turn fast and I can drive fast because I have my 2nd gear.. In summary: You cant really have an educated opinion on the subject if you went straight for the Sport, You dont know what your are missing out.

    @@RevolutionXThe Sport is the ideal choice for people wanting pure crawling performance.. My trail buddy got it Friday and we went into our team trail hiking on Saturday morning, I was surprised at how capable the Sport Was, He is obviously changing the body ASAP. But he never complained about the price, He got it for like 350 iirc. As for the sport The super light weight body kept it from rolling back in the steep hill climbs and the ratio was fine for the Titan Motor. The only con is still the horrible stock shock tuning traxxas even went their way and put white springs all around from the fabric but kept the heavy 30wt shock oil so you can feel how horribly over dampened it is... Compared to my staggered orange/white + 10wt shock oil, My Bronco felt planted at any speed and it flexed easily on the rocks. I really recommend that setup BTW.. The Bronco plain springs 0.45rate are a way stiffer than what it needs, I think it would benefit the Defender the most.

    It seems to me that, in general, long time scale crawlers are less likely to appreciate the TRX4 locking diffs and 2 speed than new drivers. I suspect this resistance comes from the fact that they simply have never had these features as an option in the past and long term the veteran drivers simply have grown accustom to not having them. So it must have felt very complicated to these veterans when the TRX4 originally came out with these features. There was a lot of "too complicated", "more to break", "too heavy", etc. comments from veteran drivers when I think it is actually more a case that it's just new and different. On the flip side as a relatively new crawler of 2 years and the owner of 5 TRX4s, I find driving a locked axle rig to be stiff and just not as interesting. I am thrilled that Traxxas released the Sport so now there is something for everyone. Matt, I'm glad to see you actually excited about the TRX4 now and I can't wait to see what you come up with!

    I get why Traxxas released the option rich version first. The TRX4 essentially replaced the Summit, as it has the same options (two speed trans, locking diffs), but at a fraction of the cost and without the need for two servos, two batteries, etc., thereby reducing the cost of what's needed to get up and running. That said, I'm glad they came out with a stripped down model and a tracked version with the stripped down chassis (what I run currently). They gave the consumer options so you can get what suits you the best.

    hi nice vid , i am looking for a bit of advice , i have a TRX4 land rover and an axial scx10 ii jeep, im looking for one more and am seriously thinking about either the TRX4 sport or axial capra ?? i know theyre different but maybe an out and out crawler may be the way to go ? id just like your opinion and which you may think will be more fun to drive and or better vallue for what you get. one other thing which two tires would you recommend for rocks, i have recently bought 1.9 boomracing hustlers and in not very impressed if im honest , the sponges are quite stiff and although the compound of the tire is sticky they do not do well in a lot of areas like roots , the original traxxas canyon tires hook up better as do my duratrax deep woods on my scx10 ii, a couple of tires i was looking at were RC4WD IROKS and pro line flat irons , i know everyone raves about the pitbull tires but where i live they are quite hard to get, so any other besides those please and any experience you have or know of on the RC4WD IROKS ?

    I'm of the opposite way of thinking. I really like the unlocking diffs, it really ads to the scale experience as I don't drive my 1:1 locked up all the time either. Could have done without the 2 speed but im of the opinion traxxas knocked it out the park. I already made a "sport" kinda with a bronco kit by deleting the 2 speed and adding brushless power. I guess you had to see what could be when the defender came out. Not many popular hobbists gave the traxxas a nice review. But I have a pretty good guess why. lol Having inside Traxxas info that comes down the line gives me the edge with them but a sport was always coming btw. There's more to come!

    The problem of traxxas came out with the sport first is when they came out with the other trucks they would need to redesign the molds for the trans case axles sliders and some other small parts or they would have all those designs ready and be sitting on those higher end trucks waiting to release them. I love the trx4 design even tho I’m not a fan of traxxas and stock for stock I’ll pull out the trx for over my 10.2 honcho.
