Practical Portal Housing Upgrade for Traxxas TRX-4

The Aluminum Front/Rear Outer Portal Drive Housing by JAZRIDER is a practical replacement for TRX-4 builders seeking durability and a clean gun metal finish. Manufactured from quality aluminium, it strengthens the portal assembly while remaining straightforward to install for experienced hobbyists.

Aluminium properties and workshop notes

Aluminium offers a useful combination of rigidity and manageable weight. In workshop use it resists impact deformation better than many plastics and helps disperse heat away from bearings and gears during extended runs.

Fitting notes for hobbyists

The housing is produced to match TRX-4 portal mounting points, so alignment should be consistent when assembled with standard fasteners. Check torque settings and use threadlocker where appropriate to secure fittings for trail use.

Do I need to adjust gear mesh after fitting these housings?

Minor checks of gear mesh are advised after installation, as changing the housing can alter small tolerances. Adjust pinion or spur as needed to achieve correct engagement.

What workshop supplies are recommended?

Basic RC tools, threadlocker, and a torque driver are recommended. Clean mating surfaces before assembly and verify fastener lengths to avoid protrusion into internal components.

Any tips for long term upkeep?

Regularly check fastener torque and inspect for cracks or corrosion. Keep portals free of heavy mud build up and service bearings per normal maintenance intervals.
