Yo! Thank for all the input guys, I see a lot of you saying to set the endpoints in the tqi app. You cant. Shift servo and diff lock servos are set to 100% you cant change it. You can only adjust endpoints on channel 1 amd 2 so steering and throttle. BUT I have a solution and will be in a video soon :)
any general purpose preferably waterproof grease works for gears as long as it stays on your gears
now inside of a sealed diff you use diff oil if it isn't sealed then use grease
hey kev fyi they make a narrow fender kit for the trx4 that not only gives you fenders for the chassis but you get a front battery tray built into the fenders so you can put ur battery up front over the front tires and a lil lower or no higher at worst than the current one but like i said u get the weight in the front over front tires meaning loads more crawling ability!
@@shaneclipse97 why are you looking on a 3 year old vid

Loving the videos both the bashing and the workshop, keep it up!!!
It takes a great CZcamsr to make such a great video that u wait until 12 at night to watch it! So happy I subscribed and put on post notifications!
THanks buddy means a lot :)
I always look forward to shop time!!! đđ
Got a few shop times coming up very soon :)
Hi Kevin I like to see you working your magic on these rc trucks good vid
You show good endurance and happy spirit when working. Thumbs up. I love tea ;-)
always love he TRX4 Vids
Same
Get her all fixed up new servo is nice! Should work like a champ now, ready for more bashing brotha!
Thatâs a good idea to lower the center of gravity on a rock crawler. Great vid kev
Good job! love your videos like to what you tinker with or modifyđ
Love the workshop vids
Nice job man!!!!
Yesss the TRX4 thanks Kev
Very good workshop fix kev
Great video Kev đđ»
Great custom work goodjob I like it u cant go wrong when it works lol.... you should test your new lower center of gravity battery mod... awesome video
In response to your perfectionist note at the end: I'm a perfectionist. What most people don't realize, is that perfectionism is an affliction. It's not like a Nobel pursuit or anything. It's a condition where everything you do isn't done good enough, and you constantly see flaws. Having good workmanship is one thing, perfectionism is another. It makes it very hard to get projects completed or even started, because there will be flaws that will make it not come out perfect, so progress is stifled.
Sup kev trying out my own eBay store...also took a look at your eBay course just keep up the good work
good luck buddy
Thanks kev
Great video, as usual. They make a replacement battery box that goes into the factory location. Now your weight I lop sided
Decent vid as always buds
Love your videos Mr. Talbot â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
The tqi has servo endpoints if you use the link modul âŒïžđ
Your a great guy love the bashing vids not really the working ones
Kev - you should try some lead weight blocks on the opposite side of the battery tray - might be the best way to balance out the chassis. And also use a bit of fibreglass for a top try to retain the rigidity.

Nice tuning tricks!
Cool video super awesome
Nice Shirt Kev, Smashing video mate!
Great video as always
U R always awesome
Thanks buddy :)
If you want to adjust the travel you must screw or unscrew the ball cup in the cable or move the servo saver on the spline If you move it forward far enough when it goes to shift it will go through all the spring and the start to pull the cable
Hey keV, I think your diff lock and range shifter cables may be slightly sticky, or even seized. Wd-40 does good, of there are specific cable lubes
Such a great vid
What's the part number for the stock servos? 2080? If do I would recommend the Savox 0250mg, I have it in my 1/16 4x4 and I love it
you need a traxxas nitro slash. soo fun
nice!you should have way more steering torque now!ready for more bashin'!!!
Awesome love your vids favourite CZcamsr you should try a stampede 4x4 vxl
I was your 100 like and I love your vids your the beast Kevin
Hey kev, I have an idea I think is pretty cool. I was thinking us fans can send you clips of us crashing our rc vehicles or just cool rc clips in general and you could turn it into a video like a montage of fails I think that would be awesome! Does anyone else want to see this?
I did think about doing this and give a prize to the winner but it could lead to copyright strikes if someone send me a video which is not theirs so not worth the risk buddy
Kevin Talbot yeah I understand a lawsuit wouldn't be fun lol
I think there's some thing around that but I would definitely submit some clips

with that indent in the battery tray mini traxxas lipos fit perfectly in their so you can lower your weight
To stiffin the chassis you could use m3 allthread and some brake line to make some crossmembers
Me 2 love the trx4 vids me myself has 3 off them ,always Epic vids man ! Grtz ANGELO from belgium
Nice video đ
Great vid
Need to get the fiber wheels for the Dremel. Lol. There are a few companies & people making low center of gravity battery trays for the trx4. Bow house RC makes one or you can get an Axial or Vaterra battery tray. đđ
0:00 he loves red
Hey Kev. Have you seen the Bowhouse RC LCG battery tray? Itâs what I use and I love it!!
You can set end points though the traxxas link app you just have to find what channel the end points are
Yes another video from are favourite youtuber!!!
thanks bro
Kev use a oring from a bad shock n when u see it start to squish stop tightening,no more jambed servo
Anyway love the video
Kevin Talbot look into a Bowhouse LCG battery tray, great upgrade.
mine has a way lower cg :)
Like the shirt kev!
you could put a battery on the back and use a rustler reciver box to move all the other electronics inside more interior weight wont let it tip as much
I just got me a xmaxx
excellent choice :)
Hello kev
you can adjust the servo endpoints with the traxxas radio
at the traxxas page they have a guide how to do that
Go to the traxxas page..
1. Choose your model (trx 4)
2. Scroll down to "Support"
3. Download the manual
4. on pag 36 you will find it
Ps. Love your videos đ
thanks dud but you cant set endpoints on shift and difflock servos :(
Great video, greetings from the land of no rc interestđ ( sweden)
Love the cars
Do you recommend a nitro rustler?
Hi kev. XD
I have fore my birtday a Traxxas spartan đđ
What's the purpose of the extra servos in it again besides the steering?
Maybe it has been mentioned before but Traxxas should replace the servos for locks and gear shift with actuators.
Do you prefer the tx90 connectors then the traxxas connectors.
Is it not possible to set the end points on the t-lock servo's using the traxxas app?
Can the Traxxas link Bluetooth help with setting endpoints?
What's a good battery and charger for a stock trx 4
what dont you adjust the end point in the traxxas app i have don it before
Love vid
I don't know if it is is possible to do but can you put another battery case on the other side and but a 1cel lipo on both sides to even out the weight ?
you could but its is almost balanced as it is :)
Kevin Talbot oh ok and btw if the battery tray is a bit to big you can try to use a shorty pack and shorten the battery holder or buy a smaller one.
We run our electric touring cars much the same as kevs setup except our motor is also on the side of the esc and weight distribution is perfect this looks good to me
hey kev! does that trx4 wheelbase been shortened? what wheelbase is that?
Your good at fixing
Cool
Axial chassis flex is ok/desired in scale crawlers, but the way you drive, its probably best that you tightenedâ it up. Otherwise i can see it turning into a pretzel.
Question. Can't you set the end points on those servos with the traxxas link??
Please someone let me kn9w
i would have just use the same stock servos my self 3rd party stuff does not always work out properly
The worst thing about brake clean is NEVER clean surfaces you plan to weld. Some formulas creat phosphine nerve gas when burned
Get the low-cg battery tray from BowHouse RC.
this has a much lower cg
Which battery pack do you use
where do u get the 8 spoke wheels that r on trx4
You can set end points with a Traxxas transmitter
wowewww coool video
What motor/esc are you using?
On my RC car after 1 battery the motor is pretty hot do you think if i run one battery after another will the motor over heat and break?
if its too hot to touch its too hot to run
@@KevinTalbotTV thanks
Kevin Talbot so i was hoping you could tell me if i could make my 1/10 drift car into a truck, im curious as hell
Try going a couple teeth down on the pinion, that'll lower temps, could also try a motor fan.
turtle lover with enough zipties, hot glue, an duct tape, yes you can! Lol I would think you could with enough patience, ingenuity and parts
Kev look up BPC products they make front chassis battery mounts and a few other upgrades for the trx4
Just get an Ascender! It's the best trail truck out there IMHO.
Just need a little trimming (cuts wire) well I'm done bye trx4 (catches the trx4 on fire)
hey KEV, when are you going to get yourself a Redcat Gen7?
Check the Arrma Talion they are claiming 70mph out of the box. I have seen a few vids of them they look fast and glide on launches. But I have not seen anyone do any stunts. I would love to see you mod it and bash the living hell out of it. Because truggies are awesome.
Could we go out with the rc car in the Easter holiday please that's my bucket list that would be a miracle
Why not loose the micro servo's, difflockers. fit single speed conversion in main gearbox. mount the ESC and RX in the middle. that way you could run dual lipo's one either side and enjoy 8S
Bowhouse RC makes a low CG battery tray that fits in the stock location.
na man my cg is way lower
Not by much, I have it on my rig, and it will maintain the chassis strength you were concerned about.
You should put x-max electronics and a motor in that
Mitchell Johnson not possible motor mount is way too small
They may a lower tray mount for trx 4
You should just lock up the diffs with 2m weight oil, it's a crawler after all, you would make the car lighter and less complex
Latex gloves??
What's 8s Steve's green body called on his Savage Flux
dont know, its made of fibreglass
from ebay i think
Just run a smaller MAH battery and get some rock rails and mount it with a Velcro strap! I have also seen people run a 2200mah 3 cell in the front of the truck
that only makes the cg higher
If you're going to run 2 battery trays anyways, then why not use the one up top as a plate to hold your receiver box, etc., that isn't much weight, and next time maybe you could try dry graphite lubricant in the cables.
Is that why the original traxxas servos burn out because they are always under strain or load maybe?
cant you just take you the little motor from the steering box and replace it, or is it cheaper just to buy a new steer box,,, sorry i dont know what there called
