Crawler Canyon Quick(re)view: Morlordy CF chassis conversion for TRX-4

My definition of "quick" might not fall in line with others. But I've got you know, things to say. I call these a "quickview" because it covers unboxing and initial testing. It does not speak to durability, longevity, etc.

This is the "quick" review of the Morlordy CF chassis "conversion" for the TRX-4, and I say conversion because it doesn't have the usual stuff, like shock towers. This is a blank slate. I talk about that. A lot.

Thanks for posting this video. After watching it I couldn't help myself and I went and order the Morlordy chassis. It showed up today and after watching your vidoe a few times I was able to see enough of your configutation that I was abole to get mine as a roller in a short time. Just need to layout the electronics now but your video helped a lot. 👍

The Daphne evolution is fun to watch! She just gets better and better!

[jackhando]

Daphne is just glowing. Last week was the spa and now she's hitting the gym and taking gymnastics classes!! Definitely a force to be recognized!

[derrickhays]

She is an absolute weapon now! As deadly as she is beautiful, u go girl!

Lol all us viewers have been getting you addicted to the good stuff like squids and dravtech's. Glad to see the progress being made on Daphne

[moeandco.]

I’m really glad I found your channel because you release quality, entertaining and thought-provoking content. Have you considered putting out a video that shows your course building technique or is there already one out there?

Awesome vid Rcfam thanks for sharing 👊🏾😎

I can't believe you would even dare mess with Daphne because she was so good but it really seemed to help a lot congratulations

I think a littler heavier rim for Daphne and she's ready for the tour! Oh, and 4 mm carbon fiber. 200x400mm 46 dollars on ali-express. Looks frame appears to be worth the weight loss.

I run that chassis I like it so far keep up the good vids

One of the reasons I have taken to rock crawling is the challenge of finding that golden zone for each rig, and people say the rocket formula is difficult have never over thought rock crawling. At least the rocket formula has Orbit as confirmation, we just keep looking for harder lines.

Daphne doesn't need it but I bought the the TRX4 LCG kit from Injora and it was a pretty easy swap. And for $60 it comes with a lot of parts.

Do you think this chassis is strictly "open wheel", or would it work with all the stock wheelwells/sliders, etc.?

[Team_ReVolt]

@Crawler Canyon An other great upgrade for Daphne. I need to get my head around the 60/40 sprung/unsprung weight... And the importance of that.

[Vchump]

I think weight would matter much more on loose surfaces or in instances where your tires have less grip, like being wet or having a tread full of mud. I feel like a super lite might do better in those cases

[Andy_Yates]

I wonder if this works with the full TRX4. I have the 2021 Bronco with the post-free body mounts and it uses the inner fenders to mount the body. Would be pretty sweet to lose a few ounces

[Rombo-]

Where can I get those bumpers? 😊 I just bought this chassis. And the shock tower back, you did? Do you have a drawing? 🙏😊 You’re the best. I would love to come visit you. Love the canyon.

[jayleeson]

I wonder what your thoughts are on how this chassis would affect the full fat trx4 defender. Would it give an advantage to unsprung weight or make the body behave heavier ?

Try swapping the left and right C hubs for more steering castor.
