Spending money isn’t upgrading. It’s just waisting money
Lowering center of gravity is an upgrade. Lowering gear ratio is an upgrade, adding lights...well if you like lights that's an upgrade too. And if your spending money on what you like, it's not wasting money, it is upgrading your happy. So spending money a good thing. Just think how happy the owner of the hobby shop was to see me. Everyone is happy😎
????What...Lowering the CG and gear ratio on a crawler/trail rig are some of the best upgrade you can do,...
Your the first person I have heard mention what size of tool they were using. Very helpful.
awesome upgrades Lee. I really am enjoying my TRX4M. Nice platform.
Thanks Dirk. I'm liking it myself 👊
Good vid. Just got my TRX4m and I have a better understanding now. TY for posting.
Yeah, the battery strap was keeping it from falling over the other way as it was resting on it. Nice video 👍
I’m sure I’ll be referring to your video when I get my Defender. I used your SCX 24 Furitek motor install to get mine into my SCX24. Love the torque it has & is super good on steep steep climbs.
This one is in my opinion easier to work on. Should go very smoothly for you👊
Traxxas did well with these now I want the Defender also. I have the Bronco. I'm adding those same upgrades as you in the near future. Great channel! Subscribed so, I'll be watching! Thanks
Those wheels and tires look great
Thanks brother, been carrying them around for a few months with nothing to put them on...then this truck seemed like a good candidate 👍
I have to do the same thing. The guy in front of me got the last set of gears so I swung by a different shop on the way home and found the whole low trans-motor combo. Got to wait for the light kit
Low speed trans makes a big difference. My light kit may be a short lived upgrade if I decide to go brushless
Maybe Traxxas will give us an option
@@DoubleADay flubber stuffers has motor plates for Komodo and micro Komodo already
Great idea on using the link ends. Thanks for sharing brother!
Thanks for watching bro👊
Great tire and rim combo. Are to tires Traxxas? Also what kind of rims, and where can I get them. I just bought my first RC. New to the hobby and still learning.
Thanks bro👊 tires are rc4wd Baja pro x and wheels are treal
Picking my green defender today!
Nice👊
I’d love to see some running footage with this setup man. Those tires look meaty yet still soft
As soon as I can, I'll get a running video made.
Looks much better.
Thanks Gary
I got the same one and my back tire didn't do that these things are awesome very capable........ awesome video bullgear 👊......lol I commented before I saw you fix the tire...lol
Thanks brother. Seems like I'm going to like this platform
Hi,
Pretty cool land rover👍
Thanks bro👊
@@BullgearRCvideos 😀
Yup, it looks a lot better 👍
.Ther so smooth and grate lookn...I just made it a cheeter rig. Will post soon🤙
Sweet, hope to see it👊
Looks great with the new wheels and tires.
Thanks bro👍
Awesome upgrades like the looks of that one
Thanks brother 👊
Lookin good uncle Lee! I'm a sucker for light kits and traxxas does have great lighting systems. Great vid man!👍
Thanks bro👊
great upgrades brother
Thanks bro👊
@@BullgearRCvideos 🙂👍
Truck definitly needs some low slung weight to keep it from tipping back. Wish my hobby shop had the weight inserts for tires n brass hexes. Make the truck way better
I'm sure the aftermarket will be all over this platform
Any fixes for the steering binding issues? Mine is so bad it is shelfed until Traxxas provides a solution. I would return it, but it was a gift. Go with FCX24 or SCX24, or just ANYTHING else than Traxxas.
Do you have bronco? If so look to see if tires are rubbing the links. They have wider tires than defender and may rub links. Also put oil on cvd's and bushings to help free them up, or get the bearing kit and replace bushings with bearings. Hope this helps
@BullgearRC videos Thanks, I have the Defender, it doesn't seem to be the tires. I cleaned, oiled and greased and reassembled with bearings. It didn't help though, and I have not taken it outside to where the grease would attract dirt. Just bench testing trying to get it smooth like my other crawlers. I even run my scx24 on 3s with a 370 brushed motor and it doesn't bind at all at full lock.
@NecessaryRC if you have a transmitter for a trx-4 or have access to one, you may try to bind it to your trx4m and set the end points at a bit less than a full lock. I haven't noticed any problem with mine. Maybe your factory end point settings are a bit to excessive
@BullgearRC videos Thank you that sounds worth trying. I'll have to go to a hobbytown or an event and find someone with a transmitter that can do that though, unfortunately I don't have one, and don't really have any friends who are into RC. Really appreciate the help, you are making me want to stick with this and not give up on it yet. Thank you!!!
One thing I noticed with my defender is that you HAVE to remover the front and rear bumpers if your wanting to crawl
Yeah, I'm assuming the Defender is more of a trail truck. I will most likely scale it out and use it for that purpose. May grab another one to make a performance rig
What size are these tires?
You must be new to RC trucks , all you have to do is turn the truck upside down and you can see the inside of the tires mate 🇬🇧
Brand new to the hobby bro. Watched my first rc video last night👍
What’s the wheel and tires setup called I really like that
Treal wheels, and rc4wd Baja pro x tires
Appreciate it man really nice👍
Nice vidéo.
Can i have the link for tires.
Thx

Hello from southeast alaska what's up uncle Lee
What's up brother👊
@@BullgearRCvideos nada just finishing cooking dinner for mom and dad Salisbury steak with Mac and cheese and steamed broccoli
The first thing you should do with this rc is take it completely apart. There was absolutely no grease in any of the gears in mine. It's not just mine either. Several UA-camrs have made videos of there's having no grease in their diffs and gearbox also. Traxxas doesn't put Any in this rc anywhere.
I don’t think grease matters on the trans, diffs should probably have some just for anti rust purposes though! I’ve also heard of shocks being empty from the factory. Traxxas will send you a free bottle of shock oil if you show them how empty they are too 😉😁 can’t ever have tooooo much
@@V8chump if you add some grease to them it's less strain on the motor. Witch results in it running a lot smoother and the battery lasting a lot longer. Yes you can run without it,but it performs better and last longer with it.
@@justinhetricck6197 is the trans sealed though? I know on the scx24 grease just got flung off, seeped out, and made a mess because it wasn’t sealed at all. never really did anything
@@V8chump I put just a thin layer on the gears and none has come out yet. I wouldn't consider it completely sealed,but nothing has come out yet.i have several hours on it since I've put it in.
@@justinhetricck6197 You are not helping Traxxas sale more motors with that comment. Please delete. I don't work for traxxas!! 😂
Traxxas make you famous.
Jdpasl makes me famous
@@BullgearRCvideos LOL.
