- In this video I will show you how to swap the locking order of the diffs on your Trx4.
Program order
1. Hold menu for 3 seconds
2. wait for to blinks, hit menu once
3. wait for 2 green flashes, hit set.
4. hit menu 3 times(for front servo hit 4 times), wait for 4 flashes(5 for front).
5. hit set once or twice ( diff servo should flip)
5. hold menu to save, done when green light comes back on solid. - Розваги
Excellent video, thanks. Just had my TRX for a few days and this is one of the first things that I wanted to do.
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
Hey man even though 4 years later , your vid fixed my trx6 issue! Thank you for putting that info out there. So much better driving now.
Great to hear! Thanks
I don't understand why Traxxas would set it up this way. Thanks for the video and the cheat sheet, got it on the second try.
I've needed this for a long time! not sure why i didnt find it sooner! i replaced my receiver and my servos were programmed the same way you set your, but i wanted it back to the factory setting and now I know how to switch them back
Thank you so much even though this is five years ago, you help me out a ton tonight. I had to switch radios on a summit. The radio was from a TRX.4 And the rear locker servo needed to be switched. You got the only video I could find on UA-cam. Thanks again.
Nice. Glad it could help.
I just bought a used trx4 2021 bronco and this helped immensely to fix whatever the previous owner did to the locking servos. Thanks!
Glad it helped
Sweet Dude, i just did this to my trx4 blazer, and its so much nicer now. Just like how you would have it in full scale. Thanks for the video man!!
Glad it helped.
Thank you! My traxxas 2023 broncos diff lockers reversed for some reason and this video helped me fix the problem.
Nice. Glad it helped.
Thank you so much for this video. I diff servos all got reversed somehow. This helped me straighten everything out.
Great. Glad it helped.
Thanks man. New to the crawler scene and I couldn't stand having the fronts of my high trail lock first. Saved me from having to change out the receiver to a Spektrum...for the time being.
👍🍻
Awesome video man that's one of my biggest pet peeves about the Summits and the trx4 is that they lock the front differential in first.
👍👍
Thank you! I thought it strange they had it set like that. I did some testing and locking only the rear increases the turning radius by only 1/2". When locking only the front the turning radius increased by 13 3/4"! I feel like the fronts should only be locked if you get yourself really stuck. I don't notice any negatives to leaving the rear locked so this mod really makes much more sense to me than stock.
Glad it helped
Thank you. My front lock servo was revesed (don't ask me why). Thank your video now it's ok
Worked like a champ thanks for the video.
Thank you so much sir it worked press set button twice for front differentials. That’s what worked for mine. Thanks again.
Hey... again, thank you sooo much, my broncos a couple yrs old now ? Reciever had seen too much water. It died , i replaced but had screwed up just 1 ch reverse, so i couldnt lock both axles in, just 1 at a time 😂, got it all straightened out. Rear now locks 1st, thank you, then front, as it should be. So, thanks for crackin that traxxas code 4 me. All fixed and even better, correct order. Now our models have a bit of a costum profile you dont get outta the box😊
🍻🍻
Thanks for the video! Just fixed mine this morning
Nice vid. Very easy to follow thanks
Seriously thanks. As a guy who four wheels a jeep a lot, I found it ridiculous that they had the front diff lock first. That's just not what happens in real life.
Yes that was what I said. Thanks for watching.
Thank You!!!!! I was able to fix a customers TRX4 because of this video you gained a new subscriber ! Awesome Video 😎👍
cool
Just what I needed. Thanks 👍
Perfect, thank you. This has annoyed me since I got my Bronco 6 months ago LOL
Glad it helped
Thank you. This made my life easier :D
Like in a real car when you lock front diff the car wants to drive forward regardless of whether it's steering or not. Locking the rear diff only makes more sense. Thanks for the video.
Good stuff man👍👍
Thanks man, this is really helpful 👍🏾
Glad it helped
At last!! Thank you!!! Real easy, and much better. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! waited a long time to do that
Glad it helped!
@@RCPropaganda Just like that, how did you find that out?? I've tried 3 times without success and even checked with friends and only got a reversed switch
@@RednX69 it is in the in the manuel I think. Tells you the programming. Def not easy, took me multi times to get it right.
@@RCPropaganda Well, guess i have some reading to do😂
Great video man! Thank you!
No problem!
Swap chanel 5 with 4 then 4 with 3 from a stock settings. That will let you lock front and rear inpendantly (rear lock will be on your thumb switch, front lock on toggle switch). And front lock will only engage after low gear selected. Follow above videos after to flip servo.
Hey do you know if it's possible to put the lockers and the gear change on the same switch? I would love to have low gear locked, high gear unlocked, then save my 3 position switch for a winch
Ok I just did this. Coolest thing ever lol.
Only problem is no low gear 4wd
Love the transition music ! Lol 😂
Thanks a million!!!!!! Made life easier
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
I appreciate the vid!
👌👍i dont have any understand this vidéo because its too fast but with the program order in description its very easy
thank you from Germany
Thanks buddy, I was about to swap pins around
No problem 👍
Great i will try on my Bronco 2021 afterward thank you
Good luck!
Cheers mate 👍
I did it!!!!
Yeah... I want this... why didn't traxxas ??? No biggie ... done thank you. Subbed
Thanks for the sub
It worked thank you 😃
Now i can do better donuts in sand 😆 and less wear and tear
And a better turning cirkel
Great 👍
Thanks you very much!
No problem
Thanks saved me from jumping lol
Glad I could help
omg thank you
Thanks man
🍻🍻
grazie👍
Do you know if this method can be used to access the transmission shifter servo? I installed a new receiver and the diff-lock servos and tranny shifter servo was going in reverse. I was able to fix the diff lock servo directions (thanks to your video) but I cant seem to figure out how to get to the tranny shifter servo. Its on channel 3 but when the red LED blinks 3 times on my transmitter, I cant get the servo to reverse in direction when pressing any other buttons.
You should be able to. It is such a pain with a traxxas radio. Not sure the process. It should be what ever the button sequence is.
@@RCPropaganda Ha! I got it, the steps to access them are the same as it would be to access the lock servos except I hit the menu button I think only twice and that was for the tranny shift servo . Thanks for this video, without it Id be sunk.
RIP headphone users. thanks for the info and good video. However that audio when the music kicks in is over the top.
bro I'm very hopeful that you know how to do this but I'm going to tell you you talkin and counting out the blinks it doesn't help you should just have said like hold it twice I hit it twice and then we can see it blink but when you count the blinks it throws it off like unless you sit here and write everything down but it was very helpful video and I did finally figure it out after I wrote everything down and I didn't have to hear all the numbers hit LOL.. thanks.
Yes it a little challenging. Glad it helped in someway.
So from factory you are not able to only lock the rears. Unless you change it?
Yes. You have to do the swap. Other wise the front diff locks first.
I would hug you if I could. Thank you!
hahaha. Nice.
Didn't know this was possible with the stock rc radio. How do you know this mod? I thing i will try this. After you changed the settings on the rc radio it stays like that right? You don't have to set it up every time you plug it in right? Thanks!
Nope once you swap the wires and program the radio it works every time. No need to redo it once its set.
Hey do you know if it's possible to put the lockers and the gear change on the same switch? I would love to have low gear locked, high gear unlocked, then save my 3 position switch for a winch
Maybe with a y cable and both things plugged into one channel. Not sure.
I just swap the receiver. The rear engages first thereafter the front. No programming done
Can you tell me how to reset my locking diffs to factory... dont know what I did but diffs are now unlocked with switch in middle position, front locks with switch toward rear, rear locks switch forward.. how do I get neutral front than rear
You have to reset it back the same way you set it up.
Douglas Lyman I just did the same shit cause I was programming mine for cruise control and my steering wouldn't work so I checked my servo by setting the endpoint and it works so I reset my TX to summit default and now it's goofy the only fix I can find is by flipping the servo around witch is ridiculous
Can you help me and tell me how can I change the rotation of a differential servo from counterclockwise movement to clockwise?
not sure
Just replaced receiver and front diff were reversed but nothing in manual - lifesaver thanks 👍
Glad it helped
When I did this it worked but I lost the cruise control function. Is there a way to keep the cruise control and the ability to lock the rear diff?
not sure
@@RCPropaganda I got the cruise control working again by following the instructions to make the multi function knob the cruise control. Instructions can be found in the detailed manual that can be downloaded from the Traxxas website. Thanks for your video 😊
@@grazo16 cool
Could u help diagnose an issue 4 me
for next time please work on your audio cues with the music drop them by at least 15db but other then that great video thanks I've posted in are local RC club.
This a super old video. My newer stuff is much better.
Ok so I have the trx 4 blazer how do I go back to original settigs
You have to go through all the button sequences
Is it possible to use an aftermarket multi-channel tx and program it so that either diff can be locked unlocked in any order?
I do not know. I am not using the lockers any more these days. I just took out the servos and then installed the diff spools. Locked full time now.
Interesting. Are you preferring that over being able to lock the rear, then the front?
Yes.
Based on that, it sounds like the best value these days would be to buy the TRX4 Sport, then add an optional 2-speed transmission if a person wants that.
Yes. All depends on what your goals are. I like to just crawl, I am not to into bashing around. Check out some of my other videos and you can see some newer things with my trucks.
i have my servos fked up after resetting the transmiter. now i have one axle blocked, both axles unlocked, second axle blocked. which means i dont have TWO axles blocked in one time. :(
Should this fix it, too?
not sure what you got going on but it take a few to get it all right.
So I got them flipped on my truck went to do my buddies and it works but my transmitter is blinking green any tips
blinking green.....mmmmmm. Not sure man. hope it works out.
I got it figured out I hit the multifunction had it out of wack all better now thanks for your video and your help
What do u mean hit set a couple times?how many times do u press it ?
It's complicated series. It is not fresh in my head at the moment. It been so long I forget. Sorry.
I was going to switch mine around but if your crawling up a rock you kinda want the fronts to lock first . And when I’m pulling my trailers I want the rears to lock first lol just no way of winning lol . Great video thanks check me out ! I will sub you too
How do you reverse the front servo direction
You have to use the buttons. There will be instructions in the manuel.
My front lock servo spins the same direction as the rear so it only lock the back or front. Not both 😢
keep trying. it is a pain the butt for sure.
Thank you I just got this thing and was like nope and swapped the plugs and went shit how do I un fuck this lol
👍👍
For some reason I have to keep resetting the controller it doesn't seem to save it
weird. not sure the problem there.
Dood I have to lock my back diffs manually but front diffs work when I hit switch to center.
Keep trying to get it. Takes a few
If you switch the channels on the receiver you don’t need to do it on the transmitter... I just switched my channels and it was set properly. Not sure why the programming in the menu was needed.
I listened to what he said at the beg about just swapping channels but he’s wrong. I didn’t set anything in the menus. I switched channels and now he rear locks first and then the front
weird. That does not work for everyone else.
Ughhh n/m don’t listen to my dumbass I was completely wrong.... sorry about could of sworn it was working
Once I had everything set all it did was reverse the order... follow the steps in video. Sorry to waste everyone’s time
haha. Its rc it happens. Thanks for watching
can you plea do more ditail
it is sorta a pain process. Just keep trying and you will get it.
First
confusing
yeah it is a little. Wish traxxas would come out with a better radio.
I've got a question. I want to keep my switches but when when I turn it on no for the diff switch...all the way back is front lock...center is open...forward is rear...I haven't switched anywires...how do I make it back to stock?
Look in the manual for a factory reset
@@RCPropaganda I tried finding it but couldn't.
hmmm then I am not sure sorry. I have an dx5 rugged radio now so I can do it how ever I want on that so its super easy.
@@RCPropaganda awesome I'll look into it thank you!
как поменять реверс на повышайке-понижайке?
Similar process but you will have to use the manual because I do not know
@@RCPropaganda спасибо,я этого тоже не хотел но вышло так,что кнопка вниз теперь повышенная!!!
THANK YOU! I've been wanting to do this for awhile but couldn't figure it out. Thanks again for a great video that was easy to follow.
Glad it helped!
