Peter tells us he mainly refurbishes and modifies RTR trucks, or vehicles he’s traded for that were originally assembled by their previous owners. He decided he wanted to do a build-up of a brand new kit but budget was still a factor so the platform he chose was the TRX4 Sport from Traxxas and he chose his upgrades strategically. He beefed up the driveline with a Hot Racing steel spur gear and a set of Yeah Racing steel drive shafts. Motor and axles are stock Traxxas but he upgraded the steering servo to a Raw 500 from Reef’s RC controlled by a Fly-Sky 6-channel radio and added a Gens Ace 3S Lipo. The most visible improvements are the scale items. There’s a complete Traxxas light system with a Castle waterproof BEC, a set of DSM off-road recovery straps, and various other items like gas cans, a shovel and a scale jack on an expedition roof rack under a cargo net.
