Can It Hang? Traxxas 4Tec 2.0 Rally Car Conversion - The Build

After posting a video of my Traxxas 4-Tec 2.0 in Rally trim, I've received a lot of questions about what I did to make this car. It's quite simple, actually, but decided to do a video on the build outlining the steps I took to create it.

In this video I go over the step-by-step process, touching on the mods to the chassis and suspension as well as the parts I used to create the Rally-style body.

I've also thrown in a little action from a past Rally event I went to! I'm sure I'll have more with this car in the future!

Enjoy!

Get a protective cover over the electronics. I used a traxxas slash protective cover on my 4 tech and it fit fine with no modification. Even kept some water out too. I got mine on Ebay.

You'd probably be fine without the extra wide rears.. id just run 4 fronts if i was you

[Sleezax]

Nice. I just finished a Ford Rs200 rally build on a 4tec chasis

[PandaHiveGaming]

exactly what are the exact sizes of the shocks you used? are they the standard 65mm shocks in overall length or are they bigger?

[youknoweverything]

I also make my own protective cover out of thin plastic using coke bottle anf a heat gun or even thin plaastic sheets that are clear from hobby shop cost me free or a gew follars and looks amazing and a custom fit. And also my carowt indoor rc club track we run oval road course and caroet off road and caroet rally cross and o ised your video to build a traxxas 4tec chassis and man its unbeatable furable reliable faster then higher end model chassis ppl use and now everyone uses the 4 tec ot works perfect for our track and rally cross layout

Do you know of any shocks that would work for this build? I’m thinking about turning my 4 tec into a rally build

[aaronlane]

great video!
but I should have you covered in the coming months

[JoannaJedrzejczyksForehead]

Maybe stick a dusty motors shroud in there, to cut down dirt and debris getting in the chassis. It’s so thin, I wouldn’t expect it to have any issues fitting under your driver/navigator cutout.

[bosstaco]

Does a 190mm body fit on that chassis?

[electroautoinc]

Thyphon 3s solve all this urges of rally 😅.. I pass and let original my 4tec no thanks..
