Hi bro 👋👋👋 So good to see you again my friend 🤜💥🤛 It really was an awesome project, and I can't wait to start building the second one 😁🕜 It's an awesome and very capable chassis kit. I'm so glad to read that you enjoyed watching this video and I really appreciate you watching and commenting brother ✌️😉 You have a wonderful day 👊😉 And thank you very much!
way to go again , I just got the kit yesterday , painting the frame lime green , found some green bead locks , I will air brush the body panels with some black art work , cheers again from Alberta ( there forcasting snow tonight ,,, still no rocks to climb)
Thank you very much Larry ☺️ That's awesome and it sounds like you're going to do an amazing job with it! I built two for my kids that's why I didn't go to crazy! The next tarantula I build will be for me and it's going to be a crazy build 😁 Sounds like you might have to get some rocks from outside and bring them indoors so you can do some rock crawling 😅🤣 The sun is shining where I live and it's about 10° celsius 🇵🇹 And this is about as cold as it gets 😅
Thanks my friend 😉 It was a lot of fun to build this RC crawler, and even nicer not to waste the original parts are removed from the Traxxas TRX4M Thank you very much Antonio ☺️ I have now been suffering for 5 years now, and still trying to find out what is affecting my health. I truly appreciate your support of words thank brother 🤜💥🤛
I was caught by surprise when I saw those instructions as that's going to be a first from Injora!! The funny thing is I never even looked at them 🤣🤣🤣 I have gotten so used to assembling these things without instructions that I forgot they were there!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Definitely dude all in it didn't even get to a hundred bucks to make this vehicle. Of course using all the components that I removed from my Traxxas trx4 ends if not he would be a little bit more. I always appreciate you watching and commenting brother thank you 🤜💥🤛
Ola, very nice video!!! Loved to watched and it gave me a few ideas. I have a question. I have the TRX4M High Trail F150. Do the links from the High Trail fit the Tarantula build or do I need the links from the Bronco/Defender? Happy to hear from you. And keep making such good and informative videos. Cheers
Olá, I guess you are Portuguese? If it's easy for you to write in Portuguese it's not a problem as I also speak Portuguese. First off, thank you very much 🤜🤛 There should be no issues for you to do the conversion from the F-150 hi-trail to the tarantula chassis kit. The front links are the same length as the Bronco and Defender, it is just a real links that are a little bit longer. So it will fit perfectly fine. I got one question for you as well, what are you going to do with the ford f-150 body? If you're interested I would buy it off you?
@@rcfungames Thanks a lot. I am not Portuguese, a colleagues of mine is 😀 Sorry, but I will keep the F-150 body for my son. I want use it to build up his own crawler. I would have another question if I mind. Do you have any experience with the Alloy Steel Helical Gears from Injora? I want replace the stock with them. But on the Injora homepage users wrote that they have issues with it, when they use it with the standard axle from Traxxas. Its grindy to turn and has bad binding. I just want to replace the gears. A complete axle from Injora is out of the budget at the moment. Thanks in advance.
@@ikut2tan I see I was just wondering because of the Olá start in the last message 😉 No worries I actually just placed an order for the Ford F-150 as they finally are available in Portugal. I ran those gears in the stock axles and I am still running them in the tarantulas I built As all I did with the tarantulas was used all the stock components from the Bronco and Defender to build them. And I had absolutely no issues besides the bearings not wanting to go on the pinion gear. But with a little bit of sandpaper and putting them in the freezer the bearings went right on. The trick is not to over tighten the axle cover to tight! The plastic on the stock axles is very soft and if you just tighten the cover too much it does that even with the plastic gears. Besides that I've had absolutely no issues. I will find the video of when I installed them in the Bronco and the defender and share it to you
@@ikut2tan I am actually wrong I never installed them in the plastic axles I've got two sets here and I will throw them in the tarantula and make a video for you As they are running the stock plastic axles. Just to let you know that I build a lot of these little rigs up, and it is really cost-effective to buy the whole axle with the metal gears as it already has bearings as well. It's a lot cheaper to buy a set of axles in upgrade a set of stock axles
@@rcfungames Thank you very much for your answer and tips. I have noticed that two teeth on the front axle gear are ground round. That's why the front axle “bounces”. I have already fitted ball bearings and diff covers. That's why I only wanted to replace the axle drive. But I'll have a look (financially) to see if it's possible to replace the whole axle. I'm a bit worried that the stock servo might be overwhelmed by the extra weight (I've installed metal steering rods and brass beadlock wheels). I will see. By the way, your TRX4M 6-wheel conversion is impressive 🤩 Really cool vehicle. Keep making such great videos
They are really cool bro, one of the ones I really want to get is the axial Capra, the performance from these rigs are amazing. I truly appreciate you watching and commenting bro thank you very much ✌️😉
@@cucumba8793 I've got some Flex blades so as soon as I get a chance I will do a video on it😉👍👍 I will try to get it done before I start my next build 👊😁
@@cucumba8793 no worries bro it's something I also wanted to test and see how it performs on the tarantula rock buggy I really didn't like what it did to the performance on my Traxxas trx4m bronco and defender!! I'm hoping that with the light to body from the tarantula people actually increase performance not reduce it like it did on the other models!! Going to go out and film a trail today with the new red tarantula build, and tomorrow I will start the video on the flex blades bro✌️🤪
@@rcfungames also, I wonder if the gearbox can fit a big brushless motor like the surpass outrunners….. and will they make a metal shell for these soon???
hey . it.'s me again , just received 2 of those esc's , they dont seem to have a brake function or do they ? , i ordered 2 more esc's with a switch for a brake function , in your opinion is it worth it to have an esc with a brake function, what are your thoughts , thanks again and cheers from Canada
Hi Larry, it's good to see you again. Both of mine came with the break function! As there is no way of turning it on or off on these esc's Are you sure you took the same ESC? It really depends on your own taste! I like having a break function as it adds to the realism when you're out on the trail. I'm not a big fan of when you let go of the throttle! and it applies 100% break and it is straight in reverse! I guess if you were going to competitions it would be beneficial to not have the brake function. Now that Injora has come out with the new MB100 ESC, I would say you must give one of them a try. You can't really adjust anything on them but they are set up really well for crawling. I hope this helps, anything else just let me know. Like always thank you so much for watching. Greetings from Portugal 🤜💥🤛
@@rcfungamesnew subscriber and new to hobby . First, your videos give me the confidence to really jump into this hobby. My question is why on this build did you use a different esc? Most of your other videos you use the Injora esc. Just curious and trying to learn. Thank you for your response and for the videos.
@@Adam_Oden thank you bro, I really appreciate the sub! And the feedback. Now the reason I used the electronics I did in this video, was because there was no mb100 at the time, and I can't say there was many alternatives out there. And I already had experience with the wpl electronics, they are definitely not the best, but when you trying to do a budget build they work perfectly fine. Since this video, the mb 100 was released, which in my opinion is way better. Before this it was really hard to find a brushed electronic system that was better than the wpl one, at an affordable price. And of course another problem I have is where I live, it is difficult to order from some of the big brands. I hope this clears up any doubt you had why I used it.
Hello my friend!😀😃😄
Cool video, awesome project😉😉😉! The car looks strong!👍👍👍 I enjoyed watching this video so much!

And thank you very much!
What a cool build!!! Looks sick!!
Once again you deliver an amazing video showing in detail how you did the process 👏😊 thanks for sharing
Thank you very much Sophie ☺️
It's comments like yours that make it worth it 😄

I truly appreciate your support of words thank brother 🤜💥🤛
@@rcfungames 🌈💪🏻🐼🤜🏼🤛🏼🐻❄️👍🏻
Loks great. Mu plan it is to put all gears to overdrive to have nice trail speed runner.
That's definitely not a bad idea as this rig is a lot lighter it would be a lot of fun with a bit more speed🤪
Thanks for watching and commenting 🤜💥🤛
Very nice build , looking 👀 good
Thank you bro, definitely worth it!! fun to build and the stock parts didn't go to waste 😅
Hello,
Very cool crawler, nice off-road run!👍
Greetings Seven🖖
Hello 👋
Thanks bro 😊, it was really fun to build an even more fun to take it out as it performers really well.
Greetings Ryan 🖖☺️
Very cool build. Thanks for showing it!!!
It's a pleasure! Thank you for watching and commenting ✌️😉
Hell yeah brother that's badass keep up the great work buddy 👍 💪
Thanks bro!! I truly appreciate the support 🤜💥🤛
Yo bro, great new custom trx4m! Good job
Thanks buddy, it was an awesome build 😁
Thanks for watching ✌️😉
nice crawling on the rock
Thank you, it's a very capable little rig ✌️🤪
Wicked rad!!!
Lovin the instructions too🤘😂 Thank you for another great video brotha!
