Is Buying $300 of Brass Upgrades Worth It? [TRX4 GPM Brass Upgrades, Two Month Review]

There is not much debate that brass in the right places helps your performance while crawling up technical climbs or sneaking a side hill. But the question I want answered is whether or not it’s worth it to spend a lot of money on brass? With so many other performance mods out there, I take the time in this video to describe my thoughts on whether you should go for brass, or something like a Rock Pirates lightweight build instead.
Let me know what you think in the comments down below! Have another idea for a video? I’d love to hear what you’ve got, so let me know!

Definitely had to up grade my motor. I was blowing one for every two batteries. My servo was hanging in there but wasn't very fast. Kinda like a real ford with big tires.

I hear ya about tolerances! Had to return Injora Black brass portals/C-Arms. I ended up with Treal. Great fitment with SSD & Samix brass as well that I have used. I really like to have some weight for realism. Too light and they just look like toys flopping around.

No comment on whats been dropped in Chunk cost wise but you've seen him lol. Performance shelf queen!!! Good video bud. I'm all bout that brass. I will say the ecto does good with or without but with it's a beast along with the Rock pirates goodies lol.

Nice video man. Just completely went aluminum and brass axles on my Gen8 myself. Put in hardened steel gears in the Trans and diff with a HW 1080 and Holmes hobbies 21t 550 behind it. Made a world of difference but may have to rethink motor.....that much weight didn't help the drag brake out at all.

I recently added brass carriers on my Gen 8 along with relocating the steering servo. I’ve noticed a big difference but, I’m nowhere near done. I’m still gonna add TREAL Portals, TREAL rims & other brass to the axles. My Gen 8 Axe II is gonna be a little different. I’m only adding diff covers, portals & the brass Pattie’s on the wheels (sorry, I forget the name) as far as climbing, my Axial Wraith out of the box is pretty dependable but adding new tires, rims & front bumper, Wow!! So much better. I was out with a buddy of mine & his Class 1 Comp Crawler & he was telling me all the upgrades he added & $$$. I just quietly climbed next to him (often outperforming his truck & overtaking him) after he ran down the list of upgrades I simply said “Mine is bone stock except for rims & tires I bought used at an event & a brass front bumper I added to the front 💁🏻♂️ I think I struck a nerve 😬. Anywho thanks for the videos & keep ‘em comin

Move your front shocks out to one of the mounting points on c hubs.helps with side hilling and you can lower the cg
-
Adding wheel weights is way way cheaper it drops the lcg really low since the wheels are the lowest part of the truck and you can add it to the front tires for more front weight distribution, also you can adjust the weight to your own preference

Cool tune crawler bro!)🥰🤩💥💯👍👏

I brought cheap brass and it all fit fine think it is pure luck
