    I would definitely have to agree , i also have that same holmes hobbies motor in my trx4 sport kit . Paired with brass c hubs and portal covers with proline krawler tires ( I like the scale / realistic look ) and some high clearance aluminum bumpers I made , it's a great truck . Definitely dont regret buying it .

    I have TRX4 Blazer and was looking to get a kit to put together with the kids. I went with the TRX Sport only because of all the weaker plastic included in the kit. If they included all the upgraded plastic and charged an extra $20-30, I’d had gone with the Element instead. For now I’m skipping and getting a Capra and waiting for the Element kit to include the better plastics.

  • @rcdabbler
    @rcdabbler Před 4 lety +1

    For what the TRX-4 Sport Unassembled kit offers, though, with a full body, scale accessories, and decent quality tires, it is a close call. If they offered a pure "bare bones" kit, like competitor offerings, it would probably surpass Element in sales. I'm thinking of taking my Sport kit clear body, accessories, and wheels, and selling the chassis kit, because I have a Bronco pre-roller chassis that will need a body, and I like the Sport body.

    I purchased the Enduro Element builders kit based off your assessment and videos. My electronic setup is almost identical except I'm trying the Reedy 16T 5 slot Radon 2 crawler motor.
    Unfortunately my build is delayed due to the"back order" of the hard plastic parts. I'm not impatient.... Just anxious.

  • @jonthomas8487
    @jonthomas8487 Před 4 lety

    $240 + $70 for wheels and tires + $40 for a body is $350 if you want to get what comes in the TRX4 Sport Kit. I’m sure it’s great if you already have bodies and wheels and tires. That’s also the same price for an RTR. What makes it better? If you put the TRX4 body on it and the TRX4 wheels and tires on would it still be better?

      How did the box, the scholar has a lot of flex and it needs to be stiffened up. Also the tires are not very good. The body as well as flimsy. It’s a great chassis but he needs a lot of upgrades. But the Trx4 sport Is more dialed.
