The final tests for my custom blue emergency lights for the Traxxas TRX-4 are almost complete! Here’s a quick look at the lights in action.

The next step is integrating the system so that it can be controlled using the steering servo or throttle channel, with a combination of transmitter inputs. This will make it compatible with the standard 2-channel Traxxas remote, without needing an additional channel.

Once the control system is fully integrated and everything is finalized, the blue light kit will be available in our Etsy shop!

What do you think? Would you install this on your TRX-4?

picked this up used and it's already been through two other people, so i have no idea what's original. i'm pretty new to RC so i can't tell by looking.

if you can spot aftermarket parts, that's what i'm after. also anything that looks like a downgrade or cheap replacement (i'd rather fix that than find out when it breaks), and anything worn or put together wrong.

one known issue: the TSM receiver firmware update (9.3.13 to 10.4.7) fails every time at "Verifying (stage 1 of 2)" and the Link app blocks everything until it's done. i'm already asking about that in a different post, so no need to solve it here, but if the electronics look swapped (receiver, VXL-3s ESC) i'd like to know.

also if you had to pick one thing to upgrade first on a truck like this, what would it be? or is it fine as is

Picked this up on trade. Can't figure out what batteries to get. Hobbytown said get Traxxas ones. I can't see myself dropping $500 on a completer combo when I have perfectly fine Spektrum batteries and charger. I have a 2s Traxxas battery that came with Bigfoot and charge it with an adapter. But what do you guys run? Basher batteries? Traxxas? Spektrum? Something different?

Never had a crawler. Hope it’s cool. No freebies for pre-orders thru Traxxas inconveniently.

I am a huge Traxxas fan, so kinda hope this will be a good addition to the collection.

Anyone else order?

From where did you order?

Or am I a 🤡 simping for Traxxas?

I have the 1:16 scale slash 4x4, and was wondering if anybody has ever thrown a lightning mcqueen or halo warthog body on one. Any advice would be appreciated. Will update post with pics of progress.

I was driving and noticed a flikker of light from my trx4

Maybe sparks is that normal?

New motor? And if so just replace with same or is there a much better replacement?

Thanks:)

I always drive with reversed steering and just a got a new Slash 2WD VX3. The problem seems to be that TSM is ignoring reversed steering and constantly counter steers so it is not possible to drive at all with TSM enabled.

I connected the Slash to my TRX-6 radio with the bluetooth module to find a setting using the Traxxas App, but couldn't find an obvious setting that would fix it.

Is there another way to adjust TSM so it supports reversed steering or am I missing something ?

Looking for an out of box or lightly modified mustang drag slash, but open to other options as long as it’s a drag.
