- Talk about some really nice parts!
The fit and finish on these Treal and Hot Racing parts are just great - really love the black brass on the Treal portals - the edge bevels really stand out!
Common wisdom in the rc crawler world is to get weight low and on the front...but perhaps on in rotating weight. This means the best weight is on the axles, and Treal and Hot Racing have us covered!
Now, you will see a lot of what I add in this video is aluminum. I did this for strength. Yes, brass is heavier, and brass would probably be strong enough, but for the parts of the axle that really do the work, I wanted that aluminum strength. Have you seen how I drive? :)
At the end of the video you can see the testing...and that danged impossible to climb wall in our front yard. Do I make it? Watch to find out!

Wow, so many upgrades, love the metal I would love to compare mine to yours!
That would be fun to do a side by side. Let me know when you come to mid-TN! :)
Will do! Mabe one day cause my aunt lives in Utah
Hi, what wheels do you have because im wondering about the fitment, if the portal cover fits in my wheel so im asking so that i can search your wheels online and take a glance how much space they have inside. Thanks
Hi there! It was these wheels I was using; amzn.to/4dHZW0X
I just used brass on the c hubs and portal housing
That works also!
That’s a very nice upgrade
I really think the quality was top notch on these parts.
Yes! It got up the hill!!!!!!!!!!
I was genuinely excited to get it up that wall!
Same!!!!
Strength wise, I ran all brass Treal parts and their housings for the 12 hour Recon G6 Fix without any problems and still running them! No worries!
Thanks for the input!
I kind of guessed that they would be fine...but just felt safer this way over the long run. Might have been a mistake.
Thanks again!
Awesome man. You should try out a set of yeah racing desert lizard 90mm shocks and do a video about droop setups. I just got mine yesterday and it's very different from what I'm used to
Awesome! Great idea. The Desert Lizard shocks seem very popular right now.
I’m using the stock shocks on full droop and it seems to do well I’d like to try a set of the dl on my gspeed tho
Brass all the way very heavy tho, Treal has some nice product great upgrades putting some nice stuff on this truck
Yeah, that is exactly why I didn't go full brass. Figured it would just add up to too much weight.
Someone said the treal portals made them lose steering angle, any thoughts?
I don't have those specific parts, so can not say. However, ha e seen something similar.
good choice.
It has worked very well for me so far.
Might want to look at the galvanic corrosion chart and compare yellow brass and aluminum.. keep it all clean and you’ll be fine. Let it sit.. it’s going to corrode
Oooh! I hadn't even thought of that!!!
Thanks.
Brass will not corrode it is also stronger than aluminium, but that aspect is unlikely to be exploited in this scenario.
Great video Troy! Are you using the small batteries in the front of the truck?
I am not. I used a KYX battery and servo relocation kit that allow for a larger battery to be placed directly over where the motor is.
Here is the video: ua-cam.com/video/19afE_0hQOk/v-deo.html
And one last comment for your question at the end, if it makes you happy to get another upgrade, do it! Personally I’ll only get an upgrade when I brake the same part multiple time in a row. I use the money that I don’t spend on upgrade to save for a new rc (typhon 6s)
Thanks!
That is typically what I would do also. Typhon 6S will be a blast!
Yes!😁😁😁whenever that comes😅👍😁
Gracias por compartir estas especificaciones.
Like por tu trabajo
Thank you! Glad this was helpful!
nice mods,cool rc
Thanks 👍
Are the Differential covers on the TRX4 The same back and front ???
Yes
What did you do with the stock parts ?
Kept them for awhile, then trashed them
Man I could have used them
If anyone has any TRX4 axels let me know thanks ! And make sure to like and share the videos !! Subscribe to the channel he has great content 👍👍!!
Would all of the upgrades fit on the stock tire ???
Yes
REAL NICE 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Agree - these parts were really good quality.
It added a lil over 400g I haven’t weighed it yet but it’s heavy
Nice!
I would get some 2200 Mah 3s battery good run time and less weight up high
Yeah, I probably am going to have to do that.
I think you confused brass with copper. Brass is much stronger and harder than both copper and aluminum
Maybe! Thanks.
That truck make me realize how beat up my axles are.
Ha! Yeah, they do get there! This truck has seen a few crawling days since...they already are showing signs of wear.
👍👍
Thank you!
Next video: SKID PLATES
I thought about it...but think they will just drag on stuff. Am I wrong?
Sorta cause I’ve had mine for almost a year and the 4 link is all rusty from scratched and tranny cover(plastic) had deep scratches. Most of em came from that extreme rock crawling video on my channel. Also when mine hits hard it’s really loud. Skids will help that. I’m thinking about getting some
