3 Things To Consider Before Choosing Your TRX-4 LCG Chassis
- Performance level: competition, advanced or just for fun?
- Complying rulesets: if competing which ruleset to comply with?
- Servo mount: chassis mounted or axle mounted setup?
What Level Of Performance Do You Aim?
The very first thing to consider before choosing your TRX-4 LCG chassis kit is the level of performance you want to go for.
If you are serious about rock crawler RC and want to attend competition events or simply want to have a high-performance cheater rig, you will need a competition level LCG crawler chassis platform to upgrade to from your stock TRX-4 setup.
Which Ruleset To Comply With?
If you plan to go for the competition use, your competition LCG crawler rig shall be legal to the given ruleset:
- SORRCA Class 1 / Class 2 / Class 3
- WRCCA Performance Scale
- ISRCC™ Performance Scale / Scaler
- Linekillaz Compz™ Performance Scale / Scaler
- Independent or local rulesets
- Cheater or outlaw rulesets
Chassis Or Axle Mounted Servo?
The TRX-4 rc crawler platform comes with a CMS (Chassis-Mounted Servo) setup out of the box. You have to decide to keep it on CMS or to switch to AMS (Axle-Mounted Servo) setup by applying an aftermarket AMS servo mount.
Some rulesets like SORRCA prefer the CMS setup, others like WRCCA or ISRCC™ Performance Scale allow both CMS and AMS setup while a lot of cheater builders favor AMS setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
The TRX-4 is a remote-controlled (RC) rc crawler and offroad vehicle model made by Traxxas, one of the most popular manufacturers in the RC business. It is a highly capable and durable crawler that is designed to perform on challenging terrains and obstacles, making it a popular choice for enthusiasts and hobbyists who enjoy rock crawling and off-road adventures.
The TRX-4 features a number of advanced components, such as a highly detailed and realistic body, portal axles, high/low range transmission, and locking differentials, which allow it to navigate difficult terrain with ease. It also has a waterproof design, which means it can be driven through water, mud, and snow without fear of damage.
Overall, the TRX-4 is a versatile and capable RC vehicle that is popular among off-road enthusiasts and hobbyists, and also popular as a base to build a custom LCG crawler among RC crawler competition drivers.
An LCG (Low Center of Gravity) crawler is an RC (remote-controlled) vehicle that is designed to have a lower center of gravity than other standard crawlers. The lower center of gravity helps to improve stability, handling, and performance when navigating challenging terrain, such as rocks, hills, and uneven surfaces.
LCG crawlers are typically designed with a chassis that brings the COG (Center of Gravity) lower to the ground. This allows the crawler to maintain better traction and stability on steep inclines and rocky terrain, making it way easier to navigate the obstacles.
One popular LCG crawler base is the Traxxas TRX-4. Other manufacturers also produce very capable platforms to build an LCG crawler, each with their own unique design features and capabilities.
Overall, an LCG crawler is a great option for RC enthusiasts who want to tackle challenging off-road terrain with improved stability and performance, no matter if aiming to attend competitions or just having fun on the rocks.
The TRX-4 LCG chassis is an optional upgrade for the Traxxas TRX-4 rock crawler that offers a number of performance features over the stock chassis design.
The LCG chassis lowers the center of gravity of the TRX-4, which provides several performance advantages. With a lower center of gravity, the LCG crawler is more stable and less likely to flip over when navigating steep inclines, rocks, and other obstacles. This can help improve overall handling and make it easier to control the vehicle when driving on the rocks.
Overall, the TRX-4 LCG chassis is a popular upgrade option for Traxxas TRX-4 owners who want to improve the performance, handling, and durability of their crawler when navigating challenging off-road terrain.
It is important for you to pick the proper TRX-4 LCG chassis platform to build a real-world high-performance LCG crawler based on your stock Traxxas TRX-4 kit.
