The rule of thumb is; whenever threading metal into metal, use thread lock. Love your accent and enjoy your videos immensely.
Thank you David! 🙏 Yes, I agree, thread lock is always good for metal in metal. 👍 Here I feel a slightly resistance at the end when I tighten the screws. Maybe because brass is a bit softer, so I thought it's maybe not necessary. 🤔
Personally I would clear coat instantly after install.
I know you like your trucks looking good!
Yes, of course my truck have to be looks good! Thanks for your tip! 😊😊
Awesome! I love my trx4 . Steering servo arm was the first thing that went after four months of me having lots of fun can't wait to get the brass upgrades
Thanks! Yes, I love mine TRX-4 too! 😊👍
😊Nice you pimped that sucker out! I am getting the TRX4 sport can't wait to run it in the mountains!
did you see that the TRX4 sport has only a 2ch radio? The diffs are locked in contradiction to the Bronco, The Defender and the Assault version of the TRX-4 hence doesn't need extra 2 servo's. my 2ct.
Yep how the TRX4 should have been in the first place all that extra weight and stuff in the original makes for a less agile truck and the TRX4 should work much better now.
the sport is just a bare bones trx4. non-remote locking diffs... they're permanently locked. no 2-speed transmission...just 1 crawling gear. a simpler and lighter body, but otherwise the same. same chassis, same esc & motor, same axles
I know. The new body is cool and was thinking of ordering one (when it arrives in the Netherlands) but also got a MST CMX (locked diffs) and other build projects too. I like the 2 speed part of the regular TRX-4 so just let this one pass.
Thanks Steve! Cool, you getting the TRX-4 Sport! Nice simple machine. Looking forward to see your videos of it! 👍😊
Looks good Yeah Racing Brass Upgrade
It's so heavy that I think it will go up well ~
Thanks! 🙏 Yes it works better now! 👍😊
Very nice. I'm liking those brass parts.
Thanks Wade! 😊
This is one of the best tutorial videos you've done in my opinion, Matteo. Will be most helpful, thank you for posting!
Thanks for your nice comment! Glad to hear this! 😊👍
Those look awesome! I'm a sucker for some nice bling that makes a difference! Very cool!
Thanks Terry! 😊👍
Schönes Upgrade. Endlich mal ein Video ohne Akkuschrauber ;)
Bekomme immer eine Gänsehaut beim Einsatz der Dinger!
Danke dir. Wobei ich ehrlich sagen mus hab mir jetzt auch einen Akkuschrauber zugelegt. Bei Bausätzen wo metrische 30er Schrauben in Plastik reingedreht werden sagt das Handgelenk danke... 😂😂
I need some of these upgrades for my trx4! Looks awesome n will help perform good too! 👍👍👊👊📹📹💪💪
Thanks for your good feedback! 😊
good to see here, i was racking my brain trying to figure out if the brass c hub needed that bushing from stock c hub. Looks like i was right, it does not. Thanks good info in the vid
Glad I could help! Thanks for your feedback Chris! 👍😊
They way you shot is just awesome step by step, very helpfull, can you please make a video on how to upgrate trx4 to brushless, engine sound, and winch upgrade step by step video thank you
Thanks! Glad you like it! But unfortunately I can not do everything. My time is limited!
Great upgrade video Matteo!! Always enjoy watching your work.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
It looks a million bucks!!!
Great video mate!!!
Not a million, only half... 😂
strong work! will use you as reference for my new Traxxas Ford Bronco
Thank you Frank! Have fun with your build! 👍👍😊
Beautiful brass bronco bling!
Thanks! 😊
Looks aw some with the new upgrades
Thanks! 👍
Thank you for this video!
Thanks for your nice comment! 👍😊
Dude I’m jealous that looks solid and beefy great job
Thanks my friend! 😊👍
Waiting for all my parts 💪
Great! Have fun! 👍😊😊
Looks very impressive. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for your feedback Matt!
Interessantes Video!
Hätte nicht gedacht, dass diese Teile so viel wiegen! 👍
Danke! Messing wiegt halt schon was! 😊
Awesome upgrade under the belly of the beast..I too just dropped some 💰 on complete front and rear aluminum axles with all the bells and whistles. Brass is probably heavier but I was going for the stock look. Have you seen my trx4’s. I’ve designed some very nice and useful upgrades. You should check it out when you find the time 👍🏼
Thanks! Yes, It's great to upgrade and modify our RC's! 👍😊
Wow that looks awesome!
Thanks 🙏 😊
Very cool and beautiful !
Thank you! 👍
Nice upgrades Matteo.
Nice video, looks like a solid upgrade.
Thanks, yes it is! 👍
Awesome! I just wish they came in black. I don’t think I’ll like the bright gold finish under my blue TRX4 G Wagon.
Yes, this is understandable, maybe they can be painted... 😊
Perfekt erklärt 👏🏻👍🏻 es ist immer schön deine Videos zu schauen
Freut mich zu hören! Danke dir Darell! 🙏😊
Great video! Gonna start upgrading my bronco
Thanks and have fun! 😊😊👍👍
Those are some serious well made parts. Great video as usual 👍
Thanks Rob! 😊
excellent video, Matteo! Very good set, looking so strong and luxery!
Thank you! 🙏
Cool RC Truck and upgrade. But I think a Land Cruiser or Patrol Y60 Body for that Truck would make it more interesting for me.
Thanks David! 👍
Looks like something Mr T would wear.
Haha, Yes indeed! 😂
Hi first of all congratulations for the very exhaustive video, wanted to know if they can be mounted on my "RC Land Rover Defender | Double E D110" scale 1: 8? I thank you in advance.
Hello
Hi Marco, I do not think this will fit on this. This is only designed for a TRX-4 chassis. 😊
@@Matteomeier grazie
awesome, can you please also make a video how to change rare and front axle replace with full metal axle, thank you
Amazing videos as usual 👍👍👍
Thank you! 🙏
looks good
Thanks! 👍😊
Wow, enough blue grease to repack the bearings on a LC70
Awesome video as usual! Have a question. Did you used thread lock on the screws or is that a no no on brass?
Thanks Chris! No, I think the screws will hold without thread lock. I could feel some resistance at the end when tighten.
Ma che figata! Bellissimo!!! Veramente su unnaltro pianneta (il pianeta banano)
Haha, grazie Paolo! 👍👍😊😊
Great upgrade...i defenatly will do this on my Defender..good one Matteo..
Thanks Jan Erik! 😊
👍very nice the bronco looks great
Thank Chris! 😊
I noticed that the bearings in the portal hubs had a seal on only one side? Tried watching again but not 100% sure, if I'm not mistaken I think you might have put the bearings in the wrong way, side without the seal should be inside with the gears and grease, seals facing out to prevent dirt intrusion. Just wanted to give you a heads up. Love all your videos.
Thank you! I think bearings are on both side sealed... but i'm not sure... 😃😃
I want all these parts. Just destroyed my stock portal axle gears on TR4 Blazer. 2nd day owning it, on flat ground. Think it was a defect.
Yes, there must be something wrong. Have mine over 2 years without this problem.
Get some stainless or brass screws. The steel may oxidize and screw up brass. Also brass needs recoated often.
Great video! Did you have to upgrade the shocks for the added weight?
Thanks! No, because the weight its on the axle, and this is under the dampers / not supportet by the dampers.
very good video
Nice upgrades 😎👍🍺
Thank you!
I want to get in the RC world. I want to get a Traxxas trx4 like yours.... The way they come stock is good? Or do I need to modify it.? Also the body looks super cool either the defender or the bronco but I would like to have a jeep body
The TRX-4 is very good, out of the box. If you like Jeeps maybe you sould have a look at the Axial SCX-10III:

Very shiny bro nicely done
Thanks! 😊
Hoi Matteo, das ist sehr interessant dieses spezial Getriebe!
Ja, das sind Portalachsen damit gewinnt man mehr Bodenfreiheit! Werden auch bei echten Geländefahrzeugen so eingesetzt z.B. beim Unimog.
Wahoo fantastic upgrade, good job brother 👍 👍 👍 👍 thanks for sharing 👍
Merci! Thanks for your nice comment! 🙏
Amazing video my friend
Thank you! 😊
Great upgrades 👍 and informative video matteo
Thank you! Glad it was helpful! 😊
That looks awesome Matteo. Double thumbs up. Just ordered the blazer and looking for upgrades for it already. If you honestly thing this yeah racing trx4 brass is good quality i would probably buy them to. Any good quality light kits you can recommend me for the blazer? Thanks for any good input. :)
Thanks Mike! I recommend the original light kit from Traxxas, a bit expensive but everything fits together and it works perfect.
Do you have to lengthen the steering link and drag link to make the wheels straight?
No, don't think so.
Hi kk beautiful, i am very happy with your video and I have subscribed to your channel, and watch all your RC videos.
.. I really have an RC car like you kk ..
but in Indonesia, it's very difficult to get a car like that ...
because my salary is below the RC price.
i love you RC gear channel
Terima kasih banyak Saya bahagia! Saya berharap Anda banyak bersenang-senang!
Like 800! Woop woop
Didnt know dracula plays rc car till now.
Be careful he will suck your blood... 👹
Love it
👍
Hi Matteo, very very nice indeed, plenty of bling, you will need sunglasses when you look at it lol.
The extra weight must make a big difference to the handling.
On a slightly different tack, do you know of any different wheels and tyres that look more like the real thing for the Citroen 2CV, I'm not fussed on the kit wheels and tyres, to small and wide. Any help would be appreciated. Great video as usual Matteo. 😀👍👍👍
Thanks Mike! I think it will be difficult to find something accurate for the Citroen. Maybe from some static scale models. But this will be reduce the RC performance extremely. 🤔
Bigger motor to get wheelie back 😆 looks beefy! Buying this kit now for my Bronco. Are there any other decent weight options you know about for the rear axle besides the diff cover? The portal cover weights look the same I suppose. I don’t want to use wheel weights. Nice upload👍
Thanks! On the rear axle you can also install the brass portal gear covers or this ones: www.yeahracing.com/catalog/trx4054-brass-118g-portal-cover-front-rear-2pcs-traxxas-trx4-p-4449.html

Did you cut the tube of the drive shaft only, or as well the shaft? How much did you cut? (I ordered the same items) Thanks for reply.
Yes, shorten only the tube. It was about 10mm.
Thanks a lot for your kind help.@@Matteomeier
I've watched loads of vids like this and the only upside is climbing, everything else is a downside. Snake oil you don't need, Money that does not need to be spent.
That's why I only equipped one of my crawlers with these things, I agree with you...
Did you use a spacer when connecting the inner portal to the steering link?
No, I do not have a spacer there.
@@Matteomeier Thanks for the response. Great videos!
Super video 👌 ich habe gerade meinen ersten traxxas Defender gekauft 🥰 also mein erstes RC Uto überhaupt 😅 vorher bur hubschrauber. Könntest du mir eventuell schmier und fett produkte empfehlen?
Danke dir! Ich benutze Fett vom Baumarkt, in der KFZ Abteilung gibt's MoS2 Schmierfette. Und als Spray nicht das normale WD40, besser ein Trockenschmierstoff auf PTFE Basis, da klebt dann kein Dreck dran.
awesome work
Thanks! 🙏
What steering servo are people buying after the oem breaks?
I use: Power HD Servo LW-25MG
I dont like how you will need to cut the drive shaft. Did u have to cut it because that was a custom longer driveshaft?
The drive shafts fits directly without cut in the TRX-4 Defender. But the TRX-4 Bronco have a shorter wheelbase, so only for use in the Bronco this shorten is necessary.
well done
Thank you! 🙏
I'm wondering if the turning radius has been effected by the different knuckle and C hub.
No, there is not much different to the stock steering. 👍
Good to know, thank you for the reply.
A lot of people would disagree on me but all these brass color on the scale crawlers looks disgusting. Airbrush it with matt black and this will look 100x better.
Hai kk saya sangat senang degan vidio anda dan saya sudah subscribe chanel anda, dan menonton smua vidio RC anda.
.. saya sangat sekali memiliki mobil RC seperti anda kk..
tapi di Indonesia, sangat sulit mendapat mobil seperti itu..
karna gaji saya di sini di bawah harga RC itu.
I love you chanel ❤❤
Terima kasih banyak Saya bahagia! Saya berharap Anda banyak bersenang-senang!
No sealant in housing joints?
A bit of grease can help for this. 👍😊
Ainsley is that you
No, it's me, Matteo...
Need all then parts for mine
Bonne vidéo merci 👍👍✌️
Merci a toi! 👍😊
did they give you the longer screws
Yes
Two years on, how do you rate this upgrade Matteo? Is it worth while and have you have any issues with the parts? Many thanks for sharing
It's still good, everything works perfect.
Matteo's RC Movies Great!
what about brass on the back axles
Of course this can be installed also. But I prefered only the front axle, because is good to have more weight on the front to climb steep trails. And all the parts are not cheap...
Matteo, do you use softer oil in your shocks for more realistic articulation?
No, I have the stock oil in.
Bronco❤❤
🙏😊
Where did you get your interior and person inside the truck??
Here you can see how I do it normally: ua-cam.com/video/rSVdNqd7CIU/v-deo.html
And this is the deluxe edition: ua-cam.com/video/8pUZKu_zJAQ/v-deo.html
Matteo's RC Movies thank you!
Great video!!!!!!
Thanks Derek! 🙏😊
Wieso ist den bei den Gelenken das eine in einer komischen gelben Farbe ? Bei den 59g Messing .
Ich denke die sind aus Stahl gemacht und Gelb eloxiert, um genügend Fest zu sein, weil die Hebel relativ dünn sind.
@@Matteomeier das kann gut sein denke hast recht damit
Hello, thanks for your video-can you tell me what Interieur you use? I bought yesterday my trx4 and booking for Interieur and a driver-thx
Here you can see it: ua-cam.com/video/rSVdNqd7CIU/v-deo.html
I installed this yeah racing brass kit. I put on a new servo first and centered the steering. Now my steering is off some and I can not turn my wheels by grabbing the wheels and turning. Seems like it’s binding. The 2 links I took are on correct. Any idea?
NO idea, but I think there must be something wrong installed....
Matteo's RC Movies I found it. It was the 2 steering horns one on each side of the portal. I didn’t put lock tight or tighten them. They were moving and binding when I turned. Tightened and lock tight and it’s fine now.
Liked and subbed! Great video!
Great video, thank you. However, you forgot to apply medium thread lock during reassembly.
Hola buenas muy buen videos donde puedo comprar esas Piezas un saludo desde españa
Muchas gracias!

Jetzt würde mich intresieren wie fährt sich das im direkten Vergleich zu einem Serien Bronco? Die ca 1200 Gramm wollen natürlich auch überall rauf geschleppt werden,oder ziehen sich auch mal unter Felsvorsprünge.Ohne direkten Vergleich bin ich immer "erst" etwas skeptisch.
Im Video sieht man ja auch eine Fahrt, die ich oft auch mit dem Serien Fahrzeug gemacht habe. Das zusätzliche Gewicht auf der Vorderachse ist positiv spürbar beim Bergauffahren. Klar nützt es beim Bergabfahren nichts, aber die Vorteile überwiegen die wenigen Nachteile. Aber du hast schon recht, jeder bewertet gut/schlecht oder positiv/negativ anders. Kommt sehr auch auf den persönlichen Fahrstil und die Vorlieben drauf an.
Das stimmt wohl.Ich habe mal versucht (nach dem schwerer machen der Achsportale) ohne angebauten Lenkservo die Lenkung mit der Hand zu betätigen .Huuh da merkt man erst mal was das Servo leisten muß.Ohne ein Minimum 30Kg Servo würde ich den TRX4 so "schwer" nicht mehr im Gelände betreiben wollen.
Could you please tell me what size those bearings are in the c hubs?
Hello
Interessantes Video
Was chosted de s'ganze set wo Du jetzt montiert hesch?
Danke. Lueg findsch en Link ir Video beschriebig, det chasch luege.
Better to remove weight first atleast if u want to comp crawl
Yes, but this is the difference, this is not a comp crawler. 👍😊
A TRX4 is a simple trail crawler, not a compition rig even in the slightest.
die Teile sind sehr schön, aber meistens auch nicht billig!!!
Ja, aber sind ja nicht aus Gold! 😊
but how does it take hi speed turns now
This is a crawler and not made for high speed...👍😊
What grease did you use?
It's a MoS2 grease from a local hardware store, usable also on real bikes and cars.
Thank you, I recently picked up a trx6 and I just wanted to be prepared for maintenance.
how much is this set up @matteo?
www.rcmart.com/yeah-racing-brass-upgrade-parts-set-for-traxxas-trx-4-trx4-6-'g6-certified'-trx4-s01-00076798
Can this be put on the TR4 Sport?
Yes, this is possible.
Do you think trx4 portals would go into a redcat gen 8
Oh, I don't know. But I think this could be possible...
But you should use the axles from the TRX-4 Sport, without lookable diffs.
*lockable*
