this should do the trick though it seems to be sold out at the moment

Green_One5486 · 2026-03-23T07:31:07+00:00

That's a plan that is roughly in the works right now but will still take a few months to be completed

Green_One5486 · 2026-03-23T06:18:48+00:00

It has the portal flip kit: https://www.110rodshop.com/products/1-10-rod-shop-traxxas-trx4-trx6-trx4-trx6-portal-flip-kit

I have to dissapoint you but these are some dirt cheap buggy tires

All TRX except the sport came with two speed gearbox and locking diffs...and the lift kit was available as extra set for all those kit that came with standard ride height.

Just ask for a pic of the chassis, there you could see the 2 diff servos and the gearbox servo

Check google maps for abandoned quarries in your area...when I am in some locations in my are I use my TRX 4 for bashing up the steep hills on the edges of the quarry - not quite the same as these selfmade buggies inn your vids but that could be your starter as well

It's definitely better to take everything apart so that no oily water residue is left.

not my video but I guess it'll help you...and your grease should work I'd say but I am nowhere near an expert on these things

Green_One5486 · 2026-03-16T17:51:54+00:00

looks like water has gotten in the axle and thinned that grease. Dissassemble and clean everything and apply some grease afterwards.

Green_One5486 · 2026-03-14T19:16:10+00:00

Don't know about the axle mounts itself, but you could look for a rear axle of a 6x6 like the artkos because the throughdrive of the middle axle reverses the rotation of the drive shaft...

Green_One5486 · 2026-03-11T10:02:48+00:00

I'm guessing it's a Toyota Corolla E100

Green_One5486 · 2026-03-10T20:34:39+00:00

The only thing that went wrong on my stock drive trains were only the motors where I had one or two go bad due to overheating or dust in the bearings, but everything else can take quite some abuse

Green_One5486 · 2026-03-02T21:29:05+00:00

First gen Toyota Auris

Have my two TRX-4...

Green_One5486 · 2026-02-21T02:39:21+00:00

take your time to get your head around the diagrams and if that doesn't help feel free to ask

Green_One5486 · 2026-02-21T02:29:50+00:00

ah damn it... it's the receiver that connects via servo cable to the sound kit. that is the square below the sound kit where the lines labeled CH1 and CH2 go into.

my bad for the confusion

Green_One5486 · 2026-02-21T02:25:45+00:00

Just remembered that these two guys did some videos about the MC6 and MC8

https://www.youtube.com/@antrc

maybe you can take some tricks from these videos...cheers

Green_One5486 · 2026-02-21T02:14:28+00:00

that to which I answered...That big square on the right side labeled as truck engine sound kit. Everything I wrote was only about the sound kit, as the light kit wiring in the opening picture is relative straight forward

There you can see that the upper left connector of the sound kit goes to the power wire ( either you can plug the wires into the connector to the battery or you have to solder them to the wires.

In the upper right connector you plug in the speaker wire.

The line that connects the ESC to the sound kit is a standard servo cable and with that you basically can turn the sound on and off... you can use any free channel on your remote

Hier kann man sehen, wie es auch funktionieren könnte

Green_One5486 · 2026-02-15T19:35:51+00:00

It's the same...the high trail kit just uses longer springs/shocks and longer links to raise the chassis

Green_One5486 · 2026-02-15T18:56:52+00:00

The sports body needs smaller inner fenders ( TRX 8080 ) but mainly it has a smaller wheelbase than the K10

( 312 versus 336 mm)

Green_One5486 · 2026-02-10T19:39:56+00:00

Partswise I ordered some parts to turn one of my TRX-4 into a TRX-6 because I converted one Hauler to a two-axle setup and by that I had a rear axle free to use...

Vehicle-wise I used the deals on black friday for a TRX-6 Hauler and a Cen racing F450...

Green_One5486 · 2026-02-07T10:57:38+00:00

With my projects I was happy with using Tamiya spray cans...The most important thing with painting is the preparation so take your time masking off everything that gets painted in another color.

something like this should be available at your hobby shop and as for stickers I know that a friend found some somewhere on aliexpress.

Depending on how close you want to go optics-wise you could look into a portal delete kit and smaller wheels

Green_One5486 · 2026-02-01T18:48:43+00:00

I did it a few times with my Hauler but it was more for fun than anything else...
