I finally picked up a TRX4 Defender for a steal used yesterday and I've literally been thinking about this! This is awesome! It would be cool to see even the remote locking diffs implemented on the Tamiya trail trucks seeing how they have diffs from the factory or even implementing a 4WD system similar to a bruiser on a more capable platform

I swapped diff lock servos channels on the receiver and then used the menu and set button to reverse their direction so rear locks first then the front. It makes more sense to me because I like drifting

I'm on the waiting list and can't wait to get this. Thank you for the lead. I do think I'll be figuring out a way to run the rear locker independently. I think it would be fun to spin doughnuts in 2wd locked. Only because not many crawlers can "hoon" and crawl. Or maybe just spool the rear end and use the rear locker servo for 4wd shifting for a cleaner install.

@Sol-hl2rj Жыл бұрын
Wow! This is a really nice option, very interesting! A 5th and maybe 6th channel would be the icing though.. You would maybe achieve the same servo reverse via Traxxas’ app. You’ll need to purchase the bluetooth module for the TQi - there you can servo reverse all channels within the app. I run my TRX-4 with servo reverse on the diff lockers - this enables the rear diff to lock first, then the front. Another option is to add one more hardware switch to have totally independent diff lock options. (The link didn’t work on iOS by the way..)
@Chrisflyss Жыл бұрын
I decided to go with a 6ch radio. I'm using Radiolink and it's been absolutely awesome. Completely independent lockers, low/high gear and 2wd/4wd.
@AMPROEngineering Жыл бұрын
Yeah, a better radio is totally the way. The guys that made this showed me how they were using it but I felt that some would not want an additional cost. There were limitations for the stock radio but for the cost, it works!
@AMPROEngineering Жыл бұрын
Yeah that is the one to get.
@Sol-hl2rj Жыл бұрын
I see what you mean about holding the cost down. And, the TQI is a good radio. Many will want to keep it for Pro Scale Lighting, as me. I opened one of mine: A video about adding a single action flip switch might be a good idea. From my memory it’s a three position switch with common ground. Left is off, first action activates one wire, second action the next wire. I’d believe that making a jump ground between the old and a second switch and just moving the second red positive wire to the new switch would work. Then you’d have independent diff lock/unlock.
