Top video! I find most foams that come with tyres are super soft. Even the TRX-4 Sport is heavier than most rigs out the box, for my heavy trail rig I use dual stage foams to stop this problem.

Foams make a world of difference, I run the proline dual stage foams all around on my TRX4. My rig is a little shy of 10 pounds. Heavy rig a lot brass up front with weighted wheels. Crawls very good.

An interesting video, thank you! I'm just getting into RC crawling, with a cheap and cheerful FTX Mauler. I had thought about adding zinc weights (that you'd use for balancing full size car wheels) into the wheel rims on the Mauler (I upgraded to Alloy beadlocks), but then that would add extra stress onto the drive train, particularly the drive shafts and gearing... I already stripped the plastic diff lock spools on the Mauler after a few weeks, eventually replacing them with alloy ones from Aliexpress. I am experimenting with 50g of weights gorilla taped to the front axle housing, however after watching this video, I'm not entirely sure that is actually helping my crawler perform better!

Hi FTX Mauler is a good Crawler, when upgrading every little bit helps, even if its just 5% improvement. Try unsprung weight with sprung weight, and changing to 10 weight shock oil. Let me know what happens

Nobody puts weight ontop of the car, you put it as low down as you can to lower the center of gravity. If you manage to put the weight where it belongs, aka in the wheel hubs, you have huge benefits. Also, running without wheel foams make you look silly when you try to prove a point.

Having no resistance in your tire is an issue but if you get a heavy vehicle having your tire conform more with dual stage foams allows a larger contact patch thus more friction on whatever surface or slope. It also helps with surface conformity so if your on a sandstone hill for instance that has a ton of tiny grooves or small jutting points a softer foam and more tire contact make a ton of difference. That said theres a Goldilocks zone you wanna hit because if your tire collapses too much if effects side hilling and vertical climbing if your rear tires/side tires are completely flat under heavy stress

Gravity is always pulling ⬇️. As your model tilts up, gravity is still pulling down. Weight, positioning low or high toward CG becomes less relevant the steeper the 📐. The stickier the tire helps, but it’s going to flip. On the TRX4, weight hanging on the front of the center frame is all that’s needed. For fun, what’s the max angle your model will climb on particle board? Mine is 52°-53°. 54 it flips. I can provide video.

Absolutely zero issues so far, except when it does decide to roll and on a steep hill GRAB IT!! Very very heavy 😅. Made my trx4 unstoppable on the trail and creek's though. Tire foams that are the right size and density (med+) are crucial. Tuning with good shocks like desert lizard is also so important. Love my first trx4 build💟 will not be my last.
