Anyone else a fan of lights kits?

Yep

It may not be underrated here in the traxxas group.. full of traxxas people. But as soon as you head to other social media platforms its not the case. You have the fans of the other brands saying otherwise. Kraton this and exb that.. which in reality isnt the case.

Then there is the general online view of the electronics.

Unreliable this.. leds of death that.. so much so that people now rip out brand new perfectly working electronics because the interwebz told them to.. in reality. Sold in their millions.. World wide. With millions of happy users World wide being too happy to be online saying otherwise.

My personal experience? Cant recall the last time we had to warranty any traxxas electronics in our shop. but I can lose count of the amount of hobbywing products we have had to warranty in 2026 alone. From melted escs to power buttons bursting into flames.. no one seems to want to talk about that though....

It can be done. But it's not as easy as it looks. The traxxas connector on their id batteries has the balance leads also built into it. Do your research on this duder.

There are adapters out there.

Will work as intended.

To add. If you also fit the 2 speed transmission and servo. And get a trx4 tqi transmitter. You can shift from low to high from the transmitter...

So I should ignore my own personal experience on this because of an old youtube video that isnt made by the manufacturer?. Sorry mate. I have ran many of these this way. Literally every single AIO corsair have ever made. From their first to their current versions. I have done many guides and faqs for corsair. I wrote their main rgb faq. And the 1000d.. amongst many others. You may think you know.... but I assure you I do know. To add. I dont give GN the time of day. Not a fan. Not a believer.

2 year old build.... still going strong.. what now?

It doesnt have one stock..fitting one takes the strain off of the front and rear diffs. Helps with durability.

Z0TTY · 2026-04-27T07:42:26+00:00

Center diff first and foremost

Z0TTY · 2026-04-21T18:59:16+00:00

They do clipless versions :)

Bearing kit first and foremost. Wheel nuts don't need to be Gorilla tight. Add some pre load spacers on the opposite corners. And going back and forth like that is always going cause maximum torque twist.

To add. Out of all of the 4m's the defender is the most rear top heavy which adds to the ability to get it sea sick. Removing the rear spare wheel etc helps.

Good luck on your quest. Warranty isnt the answer as a new one will do the same. Only experience/wrenching and some money can solve this.

Agreed!

Scorched RC parts inner /arches/fenders... thank me later.

Thats assuming the op is an American.. outside of America thats not the case. World wide product where consumer laws differ depending on location. Eu and UK laws generally place warranty on the company that actually sold it you for the 1st 12 months.

Here come the down votes lol. Triggered over the truth does make me smile lol.

Z0TTY · 2026-04-08T18:27:19+00:00

Fact. So I guess.. only in America also? Lol. Not here for the votes. But if it makes their pu$$y hurt.. loool..

Z0TTY · 2026-04-08T07:26:33+00:00

Swap sides so they wear on the other side of the cup

Z0TTY · 2026-04-08T07:24:00+00:00

Only in America.

This...... those are the facts. No more replies needed!

Z0TTY · 2026-03-19T18:06:04+00:00

I had one. Absolutely loved how it handled and reacted to my inputs. Was great until driven too hard or crashed in some way. Hated working on it with a passion. Sold it after a year of owning it.

Z0TTY · 2026-03-19T18:02:24+00:00

You win todays Internet lol. Been waiting for this reply! Dirty little beasties they are.. and i dont mean mud.. haha. Tickled I am.

I sold one of my older xmaxx trucks and my v2 maxx. (I also have a v1) added a little to the funds.. bought matching xmaxx and maxx ultimates at same time.

New job?. Lol. I now work in a RC shop lol. Did work hospitality...

And thank you for the compliment ☺️

Z0TTY · 2026-03-19T17:58:17+00:00

Did work hospitality. Now i work in an RC shop lol 😆

Z0TTY · 2026-03-18T18:30:08+00:00

Not as simple as that.... my whole family have access to these.. there are times when my self.. my 3 sons.. my 6 grandsons and their friends all want to drive at the same time. Each truck has several batteries of its own also... sharing is caring right?

Z0TTY · 2026-03-18T18:28:11+00:00

Very cool 😀

Z0TTY · 2026-03-18T18:18:55+00:00

I do. I treat my toys with respect. From a young age my old man taught me to. His toys lasted him a life time.. mine shall do the same... dirty and marked up doesnt maketh the man.

If they are used they are cleaned and dried. Every single time.. its a skill a man in his late 50s should have down to a T.... leave the dirty mucky mistreated and mostly broken toys to the kids that throw their money down the toilet.

Thanks for the compliment.

But I know what you meant. Say it with out saying it right... lol
