Learn How to Maximize Your TRX-4's Performance, Realism, and DurabilityOne of the best things about owning a TRX-4-series truck is all the ways you can customize and personalize your machine for even greater performance, enhanced realism, and Traxxas-tough durability. You can find genuine Traxxas accessories and performance parts available for your model by clicking on the image below; but for this article, we’re going to highlight four favorites that are guaranteed to enhance your TRX-4 off-road adventure experience. Traxxas Pro Scale: Form and Function Pro Scale products combine ultra-scale realism with the strength and durability you expect from a Traxxas product. Pro Scale Winch: Whether it sees action to pull a downed tree off the trail, pull a buddy out of the mud, or get yourself out of a tight spot, a winch is an indispensable accessory for full-size trail trucks. You can give your TRX-4 the same capability and authentic tough-truck style with the Pro Scale winch. This powerful unit looks just like the real thing, and works like it too with ten pounds of pulling power. Installation is simple—just install the winch-compatible bumper for your model, attach the winch, and plug it into your TRX-4’s XL-5 speed control’s accessory plug. You control the winch via a key fob remote—press Line Out to unspool the line with automatic brake action to prevent unwanted unwinding under load, and press Line In to reel it back with ten pounds of pulling power. The Pro Scale Winch comes complete with key fob remote and metal hook. Winch-compatible bumpers are available for all 1/10 scale TRX-4 models. 8855 Pro-Scale Remote Operated Winch for TRX-4 and TRX-6 Maximum Climbing & Crawling Performance Brass Portal Housing Weights: The TRX-4 already has a leg up on other rigs when it comes to climbing and crawling capability thanks to its Canyon Trail tires, but that’s just the beginning when it comes to gravity-defying grip. Adding solid brass portal weights to your TRX-4 will increase front weight bias and put extra heft over the axles for incredible steep-grade climbing ability. The weights are installed in conjunction with the TRX-4’s optional aluminum portal covers for ultra-secure fitment. The brass adds a total of 68 grams (2.4 oz) to the front axle without raising the truck’s center of gravity, and there’s no mistaking the dramatic improvement to climbing and crawling performance. The portal weights are machined to fit perfectly over the portal housing and inside Traxxas 1.9″ and 2.2″ wheels. Portal weight in place, installed with optional stainless-steel hardware for extra rust resistance. The portal weights are used in conjunction with the optional aluminum outer portal covers. Maximum Corrosion Resistance for All-Weather Adventure Stainless Steel Hardware Kit: Fording streams, braving snow, and blasting through mud are all on the TRX-4’s off-road adventure menu thanks to its waterproof electronics. If your TRX-4 sees wet-conditions regularly, you can head off hardware corrosion and give your truck’s mechanicals a pop of high-contrast style with the TRX-4 stainless steel hardware set. The kit replaces all of your truck’s standard black-oxide hardware with premium stainless steel fasteners—including the grub screws, screw pins, and axle nuts. The kit comes in a reusable compartmented box with size guide, making it easy to organize your hardware when you swap your truck’s standard screws for stainless. The stainless steel hardware kit includes all hardware required to fully outfit one TRX-4. 8298 TRX-4 Stainless Steel Hardware Kit Extreme Steering Torque & Precision High-Torque 400 Red & High-Output BEC: For the ultimate in competition-grade steering performance, you can upgrade to the High-Torque 400 Red servo. This powerhouse packs a brushless motor to deliver an astounding 400 oz-in of torque to muscle your truck’s tires into position in any off-road situation. With the required 2262 High-Output BEC installed, the 400 Red servo draws power directly from the battery, giving your rig the steering strength to swing soft, heavily-weighted tires while stationary and push away from obstacles to get you over and through the most difficult lines. The servo’s all-metal geartrain is built to withstand any challenge with an aluminum mid case to resist flex and improve cooling. Precision metal gears, brushless power, and an aluminum heatsink mid-case equip the 400 Red servo for extreme climbing and crawling. The 400 Red servo taps power directly from your TRX-4’s battery via the High-Output BEC to deliver maximum power and performance. |
