Yes, the TR4 is a perfect replacement for the stock shift/diff servos. Out of two rigs, I've only lost one stock servo and the was actually my fault by trying to remove the servo arm while the radio was on. That said, I have several TR4s on the shelf ready to go when needed.

Hey RC Girl. My Bronco 3yrs old is a copy of your Defender 14lbs such double weight of a new of box Plastic at 7lbs. Full YR oh yes will say extremely heavy rig perfect to win tug of war lol or snap the rope Lmao, Hobbywing AXE FOC but I did need to change my micro servo. I change OEM For JX Micro Servo search for Traxxas Summit JX. I also had Hot Racing aluminum arm to it and hot racing micro servo mount for both sides of those 3 that Look amazing and 2yrs 1/2 run now those JX with weekly runs. Other suggestions is battery Gens Ace Adventure 4200, 3s, 50c fit perfect front tray or middle tray great weight reduction. Servo did similar but with Reefs 555 but will suggest 777 as programable for end point. At least my Spektrum remote is where it comes handy to set this up vs OEM remote. My last suggestion is Proline Hyrax Super Soft 1.9 with adding Proline Dual Stages with Axial beadlock. This is night and days compare with OEM tires. I have done this tire change 2 months ago and I definitely say change and don’t save but OEM are great if people want take time to save $250 for it. I agree with you brass only Front and 1 thing brass is just enough. No rear brass. Stock shock yes did go PL Pro and back to OEM. Still reading RC Girl omg your video make me realize that I am fallowing your channel for more than 3 yrs. Amazing 🤩 Eh! Cheers happy Crawling and RCing. 🚘

They are like servo savers that only works once 😂. I’m thinking I should get a metal one but I don’t want to risk damaging the stock servo. I have a couple of questions about the trx4 & if anyone could help I would be very grateful. Q1. Is there a servo saver that can go straight on the trx4’s stock servo & save my Steering servo arm as well as my servo? Q2. is there a hard body to go directly onto a trx4 Tactical? I have one I would like to throw a hard body on & change it up a bit

Hi, so you recommend the HW Fusion motor-esc for the Bomber as well? I'm thinking of upgrading my Defender stock motor and my Axial Bomber 2.0 motor. What about speed for the Bomber using the HW Fusion, it is a rock racer. I'm not intending to go bashing with the Bomber like the guy at Exocaged RC channel but I want a bit more speed. He tried different motors and esc with the Bomber. What do you think RC Girl? Thanks.

Hello. I was offered one of them last night for cheap. It's only 1 year old and he's only used it 3 times and paid about £900 for loads of extras and only wants about £380 for it but I've got a cen genesis that he's wanted for years. It's barely run in. I bought it new and when I was running it in the pullstart snapped and I've still not fixed it about 15 years later. I have one but I never have time to do stuff like that. You can get carried away upgrading, I know I bought a t maxx and another in bits but the other is all custom parts made from aluminium instead of plastic Which looks mint but it's in bit's. I did build it once and found it's a drive shaft from complete so took it to bits again to upgrade the other because it's got an aftermarket racing engine and hand made tuned pipe on it and does about 90 mph. It's actually hard to keep it on 4 wheels on any terrain. Do you think I should buy or swap the genesis for the TRX? I really do like them and it will be nice to just switch on and go instead of getting the engine going even though that's half the fun and better sounding. Subbed for more cool videos. Do you have many r/c's? ❤️💛💚👍
