My TRX4 Sport kit build is getting close to being finished. The motor arrived yesterday, so I finally have all of the parts. Will probably finish the build tonight. I don't know how people say that it is a 3-hour build. I probably have about 15 hours into it already when I add up the time spent building the kit, painting the body and accessories, decalling the body, soldering esc and motor, modifying the tires and tire foam, etc. Loved every minute of it and will be a bit sad to have it complete. I don't know that I will be able to buy an rtr again; building one is so much more rewarding...
I was able to get a quick balance check after getting the motor in. With the esc on the left (stock location) and the battery on the right (in place of the stock receiver box), the truck is perfectly balanced left to right. Seems to be ideal, but I still plan to do some testing on an incline board once I get the truck assembled. I'll measure the tip angle of the truck in each orientation (up, down, left, and right) with the battery in various locations (right floor board, up front, stock location). Should be fun and informative.
