      @@allthingsmotorized1885 that doesn't quite cut it unfortunately. The tyres on the TRX4 Defender are around 4.6 or 4.7" and the arches are cut to suit. If it was a scale body the wheels would be a little less that 4". I have 4.35" and before I made my own fender flares they looked lost in the huge arches. But my own flares aren't quite enough either. If you look at the body the arches are cut so big they cut out part of the front doors!

    Yes, I think Traxxas could easily do a rig like this. Make it LCG, limit the upward travel but have a fair bit of down travel when needed. Make it a 'sleeper' rig that can get down to business if necessary.

I would definitely consider buying a lowered/stock looking version of either the Ford or the Chevy, the big lift just isn't for me. Or if they just offered the pick up version of the Blazer and Bronco body I would for sure buy one to replace my TRX4 Blazer body. The snowmobile looks awesome as well! Can't wait to see it in action. I've recently been experimenting with 3D printing, but no projects anywhere near that size! Keep up the great work, I really enjoy this series!

    Love the "stock" low look. Yes the sky-high jacked truck is cool but I do dig the very stock appearance thing. I myself have done the SSD portal delete on my TRX4 '79 Bronco and LOVE it!
    Looks ready to go hunting and fishing! Lol!
    In my build I added the Traxxas LED light kit, an SSD winch bumper with RC4WD/Warn winch, RC4WD tires and retro white spoke wheels.
    I did the pinion/spur gear reduction but also did the lower diff gears front and back too. The motor runs cool with NO issues whatsoever. I also added a stock rotation 550 motor as the motor direction changes with the portal delete. Lastly I re-programmed the radio to lock the rear diff solo (not the front) on the first position and then both diffs.....I just prefer it that way.
    It would be AWESOME if Traxxas offered a stock height kit and even better, a 2WD/4WD selectable trans (as opposed to the current Hi/Lo gear config. I rarely EVER use high gear cuz afterall it's a trail rig not a speed demon!

    Now, I wish Traxxas get a second chassis out: A TRX-4/6 “Scale” without portals, but with selectable diff locks, 2-speed AND a selectable 2wd/4wd transfer case. Some narrower track width too - so we can select the last few Millimeters with the rims. While we’re at it: A 8 channel radio with bluetooth in a much more compact package - good for shipping too😉

    Its got a 'rider' ha. Looks great. Snowmachines are difficult to translate in performance into the rc world because the riders skills are so much a part of what the machine can do. Placing the rider on a servo that can throw his weight right and left would be a cool addition and would potentially give you significant performance on top of what you already have. As well waiting him and creating a higher center of gravity would allow your sled to perform more realistically. But like I said it looks awesome. A tribute livery to Ken block would be amazing

Both Chevy and Ford PUs modded out were forever etched into my heart as sure as Barbara Eden and Lynda Carter. It would be a Wonder of Traxxas's generosity and as dreamy as Jeanni to alternate the bodies at whim.

    Critique for traxxas- Dent chrome is missing black center stripe, rear and marker lights are not greatly disproportionate, black

    Even though it’s not helping it Crawl I’d have to say it looks awesome at that height.

    You can also use the taxxas trx4 underdrive gears front and rear with the ssd portal delete kit to get gearing better I used
    1800kv hobbywing fusion
    45t spur
    9t pinion
    2x underdrive diff gear kits
    Works really well with a hardbody

    Honestly that ford looks killer both ways, but I think they should offer it in stock form and high trail version. Keep up the good work.
