I flipped my bumper mounts, raised the body 1/2 inch, used 3x14mm spacers and 3x25mm screws and raised my running boards, put 10wt oil in the shocks and adjusted my preloads so that the vehicle weight compresses the shocks 1/2 way.. No tire change etc (actually the stock tires are pretty good, for all around general purpose) - works great for a trail rig.. No need to cut the body - I did cut the trailer hitch off tho'.. All free except for the 3x14mm aluminum spacers and 3x25mm screws..
I just found this channel and subscribed. Thank you for posting what you have done to the truck. Always great to see where money is spent and spent well. The best part of the video is observing some great driving. Nice work👍
Damn bro there’s a couple times I didn’t think she was gonna pull it off but came through like a champ. Haven’t bought me a traxxas yet do to not being to sure what I want. Either the trx4 or the traxxas 6x6. You got me leaning toward the trx4 a little bit more now. Nice driving brother
I would say you have that truck dialed in....little to no tire hopping or bouncing. suspension is perfect those lines would not be doable otherwise .you are a great driver with a perfectly setup truck.Its great to watch
Prepare my Sport for rocky brook discoverys ,Acis Six 3000 with Sidewindr ESC ,sealed trasfercase and axels . Put some airbags in the cockpit and under the hood .Now its a real "Explorer" ha ha! Your vids are amazing!
hello I am very impressed with the handling qualities of your vehicle. do you have a video with all the modifications you made to this vehicle? thank you
Killer vid man!! What is really cool seeing how effective the mods you did in your other vid really are. Many other vids only talk about mods but seeing them in action is cool. Now I'm going to do these to my Trx4, and buy a sport!!!
I love this video!!! I could watch it 100 times and still keep it in my favorites!! Subscribed so please upload some more vids like this one!! :-) Great job!
Great video 👍🏻😃 What wheels you using on this rig ? Probably one of the best videos of what a modified TRX4 is capable of ! Please post more soon 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Ive always been a basher, but after watching this particular video I wanna dive head first into crawling. You've inspired me sir. Subscribed. I hope you don't mind if I make a copy of this truck, cause I'm gonna!
@@RcCrawlerGuy a couple. Super swampers on 1.9 beadlocks. Front mount 3cell lipo. I like the way you trimmed the back body a high bumper. I need better shocks though.
Wow, I think I want to get into rock crawling. What's a set up like that cost? Awesome video, I kept thinking no way is it going to go that way, then it crept up. So cool.
Awesome! What was the brand and Mah of the battery in this vid? It fits well upfront. I was thinking about putting jconcepts creep body on my trx4 sport. Only weighs about 125g. It’s narrow though. What’s your thoughts?
Awesome rig. I have a summit but I’m wanting a nice cheap crawler as well. What have been your absolute favorite supporting mods for this sport so far??
RcCrawler Vlogs alright, thanks for your answer! Also, are your rims weighted? Or is it just the weight you mentioned in the description? I am amazed by the performance of your trx4, want to get the same performance out of mine!
Awesome video! A little tip I want to give u imo I would take those rock sliders off bc they do get caught on things jst alittle tip there I liked the video enjoyed watching!
You are a grate Driver my frend some grate lines as we say we are pulling what used to be impossible and what is is now impossible is impossiblei totaly agre the sport is the truck to beat for sure if you get a chance ck out what we have done to them here in Norcal @ dubbleportion
Very impressive! I’ve heard nothing but good about KLR tires. My two sons (6y and 8y) would like to buy a crawler too. I think the TrX4 Sports kit will be the one to go for (they’d LOVE to build 👍🏻🙂). The price is ok and the car looks very capable out off the box. So far there’s only one thing I don’t like about it and that are the wheels... I don’t want to glue the tires and prefer beadlocks... The things is my sons are still very young and on a budget... Traxxas sells cheap plastic beadlock wheels. Do you think they are any good? Kind regards from Belgium! Subscribed 😉
Yea, those ax10s were pretty good! The break over point on their truck is amazing!! :)) thanks for the sub! :) awesome spot this weekend with really cool lines! Stay posted! :)
Cool watchin !.excellent..! nice build, that will make it work lol.. Thow a Comanche body on there lol nah that's just me.. Traxxas has a bed rack for that body now ..but it prob. wouldn't be pullin lines with that on it ,like you did with the extra weight.. heading out Tom. the 5th.. !.. Need some mtn air.. Hey , what did you power it up with..? interesting suspense ..! Lol ? ✌
Thanks for the support!!! :)) it’s powered with a stock motor, Hobbywing 1060 esc, and a futaba servo. ( forgot the name but like 475oz torque) Yea, I am a firm believe anything over the rails is a no-no excecially with the high CG portals. I’d probably try the rack to see if it would still pull some fun lines :)) I thought of that Comanche body!! Goal is to keep the stock bumpers, rails and body t show everyone it doesn’t take crazy money to have a awesome- fun truck :))) I’ll be hitting a new spot this Sunday- crazy good lines and terrain! Stay tuned! :))
That's awesome man! Makes me anxious to start building my TRX-4 Sport Kit when I get it tomorrow (hopefully)! Where is this located? Looks like Pennsylvania terrain.
Thank you :)) only portal weight is the front Samix portal cover. It has a few mods. Check out the description list for all of them ;)) Yes, his channel is full of awesomeness hehe
I have a Sport like yours, i want to borrow some of you info to make my truck better. I wish you would tell me what Dirty Richard foam to us . Single stage or double ? what firmness ? thanks Don
55th Like ha ha great video, and excellent driver skills displaying awesome throttle control for scale driving. I've got 3 trx's because "addiction" and I've been thinking about making one a sport. The body is awesome looking. Traxxas keeps hitting homers.
hey number 55! Hehe :) yea Traxxas is killing it in the Rc Market. I’ve been a Traxxas fan wayyyyy back when the nitro 4tec with the pro15 engine was released. Lol. Few mods on your sport and it’s definitely comp ready! Have fun and enjoy:))
@@RcCrawlerGuy Gm brother.. Yes lol that's Dima's hot spot !.. What a trip... Hope to run with you guys sometime ! There was a couple times I was interested in , but couldn't make the run...Gar. Mtn. is very close to me, or I hit Harrimon ,Bear, Pyramid or Ramapo.. Happy Holidays to you..!! peace
I typically prefer crawler videos to be without music, but this... this video put a smile on my face.
I flipped my bumper mounts, raised the body 1/2 inch, used 3x14mm spacers and 3x25mm screws and raised my running boards, put 10wt oil in the shocks and adjusted my preloads so that the vehicle weight compresses the shocks 1/2 way..

Thank you!!! ;))))
Great video 👍🏻😃 What wheels you using on this rig ? Probably one of the best videos of what a modified TRX4 is capable of ! Please post more soon 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Do you put weights inside your wheels ???
😀👍🤙🇺🇸💜
no weight inside the wheels/
can't wait to get my hands on a trx sport. those tires look awesome. Looking like a comp killa lol
Yea!! I wait till eBay sales. Can pick one up for just about 280
Will those tires glue onto my stock wheels or should I get different wheels?
i recommend the ssd steel wheels. adds some weight down low.
Ive always been a basher, but after watching this particular video I wanna dive head first into crawling. You've inspired me sir. Subscribed. I hope you don't mind if I make a copy of this truck, cause I'm gonna!
Hehe thanks! Not at all. Copy away. Check this out of the parts..

Hello, can u please explain the process to raise the bumpers, and to cut the body the way you did? It looks much more agressive that way. 😁
Check out his channel, he has a video on it.
Very nice ability driven video. I like the sport, mine is in blue.
Sweet! Such fun trucks! Any mods to yours?
@@RcCrawlerGuy a couple. Super swampers on 1.9 beadlocks. Front mount 3cell lipo. I like the way you trimmed the back body a high bumper. I need better shocks though.
Very good job man! Easy but performer! Can you seen me what kind of tyres have installed fot this video?? Many thanks.
I have a 3s 5000 and just got the trx 4 sport is this gonna be too heavy? I'm not against getting a different battery but don't want to waste money
Wow, I think I want to get into rock crawling. What's a set up like that cost? Awesome video, I kept thinking no way is it going to go that way, then it crept up. So cool.

wonderful trx ! what is the exact type of battery used ?
i dont recall- but i think it was a 3s 750mah at the time.
Awesome rig. I have a summit but I’m wanting a nice cheap crawler as well. What have been your absolute favorite supporting mods for this sport so far??
Will climb & track better if u stiffen rear springs !!
what is the motor used and the esc sir?
Its a holmes hobbies crawlermaster sport 20t and a castle micro x.
@@RcCrawlerGuy thanks for the reply
Fresh!! Love the terrain.
Thanks!! A awesome spot it you are local to Ny. Sprain Ridge park in Yonkers! :)
Are you running foams in the tires or no?
Wondering which type of smaller battery you use.
1500 3s zippy Lipo.
@@RcCrawlerGuy ok cool. I've been looking for something smaller for mine. Most of the weight is in those huge batteries! Thank you!
Need a tutorial on the bumper!!
Awesome crawl and driving! Do you think the voodoo tires are better than Hyrax?
Hmm. Tough question. Both are great tires. I think my x4 edge them a tad 😎
RcCrawler Vlogs awesome! Just ordered both set lol
Awesomeness!! I’d love to see some video ☺️
Nice vid...great driving. What wheels are on the truck?
Yessir dope vid my boy
thanks budyy! :)
Awesome crawl I love my trx4 sport 👍👍
Awesomeness!!!!
What mods do u have on this rig besides the tires?
Amazing, do you think proline hyrax super soft will perform as well as these? Cant get them here in germany...
And what are those beadlocks?
Not sure- but they grip amazing also. Try em out.
RcCrawler Vlogs alright, thanks for your answer! Also, are your rims weighted? Or is it just the weight you mentioned in the description? I am amazed by the performance of your trx4, want to get the same performance out of mine!
Looks very capable and good at climbing for a portal rig, where upfront did you mount your battery if you don't mind me asking👍
Traxxas plate and I was using a 3s 650mah battery.
Pure inspiration!
Hehe thanks! 😎
how ???!
It's so rediculous how crazy your crawling was !
LoL. Removed unsprung weight and added weight down low with great tires and tons of overdrive.
7:31 love this line!!!
Ahhhh yes! LoL the tough one by the hill of death lollll One of my favorite lines!
Awesome video! A little tip I want to give u imo I would take those rock sliders off bc they do get caught on things jst alittle tip there I liked the video enjoyed watching!
Thanks :) I agree!! Hmmm. I love free mods! Hehe. Great idea!!
That is impressive. 👍 really enjoyable video subbed
Thank you kind sir :)))

Mad skills
Thank you!!! :)))
What is the sweet spot for total weight of your rig? Does it matter
Id like low sprung weight. Maybe 5-6lbs.

Did you turn your rear bumper mount upside down, your rear bumper rides so high.
Yea, flipped the mount and bumper. I can do a video on it if you like... :))) Pretty cool free mod!
@@RcCrawlerGuy Cool, sounds like a great mod. Thanks.
Cool, will definitely make a video for you! ;)
Subscribed, I had an axial ax10 back when they came out. They were nowehere near as good as these are.

Hi
what do you think about underdrive and overdrive and MIP 4mm Offset Wide Track Kit For Traxxas TRX-4 Defender RC Cars Crawler #18260
thanks
Under and over is a must I think. 4mm offset is a must also using the stock wheels..
thanks
@@RcCrawlerGuy
Hi could you give me rims reference and model you use. Thanks
Awesome driving. Does this have any portal weights? Or full stock? You should check out Dannyrc, he as some epic driving skills like you!

Voodoo RED or Gold?
Red! :)
is it the Dirty Richard foams that make the tires look so firm and they never fold over in the video ?
Ahhh, the foams are actually soft. The tires have a stiff sidewall. I think that’s why voodoo says proper foam tuning is key.
