This RC-scale wading pipe throat is engineered to raise the intake location on TRX4M models, minimising water and coarse dust ingress during slow water crossings and dusty trail operation. The component functions as an aftermarket replacement/accessory and by itself does not alter drivetrain or electronic systems.
Retention is achieved by mounting the collector to existing intake plumbing or the body opening using the supplied self-tapping screws, or by using an appropriate adhesive. The elevated throat position is intended to keep the intake above common splash heights and surface dust while maintaining scale appearance.
Pre-install checks should include clearance verification for suspension and steering articulation, routing the intake clear of heat-generating components such as the motor and ESC, and a dry-fit to confirm alignment prior to final fastening. This product is supplied as RC-scale replacement parts for model use only.
