Traxxas TRX4 Sport Kit Build Series - Upgrade - ScalerFab Trail Armor

Not being happy with the stock bumpers and sliders of the TRX4, I had bought the ScalerFab Trail Armor set late last year. I didn't have a chance to install them and try them out until now. This set is probably geared towards a more trail oriented rig given their weight, but they really do give the TRX4 Sport body a really nice finished look.

• ScalerFab Rock Sliders for TRX4 Sport
• ScalerFab Pre-Runner Rear Bumper for TRX4 Sport

I really like the look of this rear bumper on the sport body.

The rock sliders, while they look great... sit just as low as the stock sliders. They look great with the whole set of trail armor, but didn't give me the clearance I was looking for. I wish they would've angled these up so that they were like boat-sides to give you higher clearance on the sides. You'd have to trim the body of course, but I'd be ok with that.

They're also really heavy... so it'll hinder performance somewhat for strict rock duty. These, however, would be great for trail duty.

With the sliders being so heavy, I didn't want to commit to ripping off my electronics from the stock sliders and putting them onto these. So I noticed that you can wedge the ScalerFab sliders in-between the frame and the stock sliders. It's just a temporary thing until I figure out what I want to do, plus the stock sliders are integrated with the inner fenders I have on it. Most likely these are all going to go eventually, as I start gearing this rig more towards performance. For now, I'll keep running the Sport setup.

I got sliders under my sliders yo!

I forgot to take these pictures earlier, so here they are after getting battle scars from CDM.

Here's a shot from the side of the improved approach angle of the front bumper.
