RCBee's TRX4 Ford Bronco RTR (Rebuild to Capable Rig)

[Honeyman108]

im using a flysky gt5 or a dx5 pro with 4ws options

Hey MO how do you run them independently the servos??

I have a Spektrum DX5 Rugged. I just run the rear steer of it own 3 position switch. They are either all the way on or off.

 

[Honeyman108]

Cool Thanks Mo..... BUZZZZZ......

 

[Honeyman108]

BUZZZ BUZZZ.....


Finally got the axles finished!!!!

the front axle has Traxxas Ring Gear Differential/ Pinion Stock Gear TRA8279R and Hot Racing brass portal covers 72 grams and samix 6mm hex and in the rear axle we have the traxxas beveled Underdrive gear TRA8288 and Hot racing brass portal covers 41 grams and samix 6mm hex and servo on axle mounted Reefs triple 777 to match the front servo... All that is left is to get the rear links set up and mount the axles!!!! BUZZZZZZ......

BUZZZZZ....


Got the Links done and really wasn't that hard the beef tubes links fit the OneTenthRC servo on axle mount perfect!!!!

Got the rear axle mounted and its absolutely straight and perfect and as rigid as the standard rear axle the only thing is the clearance on the shock absorbers is just a hair off because the rear body post is slightly lowered im either going to move it up and see if the body is to raised in the rear or shave a couple millimeters from the body post!

All I have to do now is install the front axle and that's in the next episode!! BUZZZZZ......

Hey Benp im gonna post this am on this Bronco build I got the rig all done yesterday and am giving her a test run this weekend and ill post pics and vids looks and feels solid and the endpoint adjustments on the Flysky GT5 really got both axles straight and full steering front back and right and left so im really happy with this Rebuild now time to enjoy it BUZZZZZZZ......

 

[Honeyman108]

Got the Bronco all built up and cleaned up the electronics and adjusted all endpoints and this Rig is going to rock out there!! It already rocked before now with a little brass front and rear and steel spur and 10 tooth pinion and 4WS this thing should perform even better than before!

Video coming soon!!!

BUZZZZZ.....

Nice man!!

You’ve got a lot into these, can’t wait to see them rip.

Here is The Bronconator in the backyard test rocks and its not a big setup but enough to test rigs the Colorado river rocks are very slippery even the Pitbull rockbeasms slip so the Rig did great the other problem was at the end trying to climb the stack of rocks the cedar mulch will give no traction but overall success a little endpoint adjustment on the throttle and rear steering and ready for a couple months of fun!

The next build im going to finish this week is the TRX4 4WS Comp Style Truck and that one will have both servos on the chassis horizontal and panhard bars so it will probably be a litter stiffer but the Bronconator passed now to the real rocks and trail..... BUZZZZZZZ........

On this 4WS Modification I added the following parts:

Hot Racing (knuckles / c hubs /brass portal covers
front/rear)
Traxxas (front axle housing /beveled diff gears front stock rear under drive)
Yeah Racing (Portal Drive Stub Axles / portal gears)
RC4WD (Diff covers)
Reefs (777 servo)
OneTenthRC (servo on axle mount)
Samix (Hex hubs 6mm)
3 Brothers Rc (3s DUAL no-solder servo and accessory connector)

Rear axle feels solid and turns on a dime and its nice and straight so im real happy with the way this Bronco is evolving!!!

BUZZZZZZZ....... 4WS..........

3 Brothers Rc (3s DUAL no-solder servo and accessory connector)

I just noticed mention of this part.

If this is the 3Bros part that powers the servo directly from the battery balance port, you might want to rethink that.

HH put out a PSA regarding this method of powering a direct powered servo.

Just a heads up if this is actually the part.
