In this video I check out a ton of great new upgrades for the Traxxas TRX4M from Injora, including the new IR40 body kit! I also add in the new MB100 brushed esc, extended axles, universal LCG chassis kit and more! The end result is a great looking and performing build!

Adam, the chassis is definitely not mounted right! The shorter pieces in the front of the chassis need to be on the inside of the back rails!

@petejones6827 3 ай бұрын

yo fyi on your chassis you have the braces opposite where they are suppose to go, the back is wider than the front when build correctly and doesnt make the chassis flex when tightened on the tray in the back, the small carbon fiber front pieces are suppose to mount inside the longer ones not on the outside, doing this allows you to put the injora ESC sideways and the reciever right next to it on the tray also there is room for both.
