If a traxxas hater thinks it’s epic, then it must be the worlds best crawler!
-
The big allure for the traxxas stuff is breaking something and then being able to pop down to your local hobby shop for a replacement the same day. Really kills the experience having to wait for something to come in the mail 5-7 days later just so you can enjoy your toy and often forces you to buy multiples of a spare. The hobby shop is a really important part of the RC experience imo.

I slept on the TRX4 for a LONG time but goddamn these things are so good!!! I got a black/black Defender and with just a Fusion Pro, 45KG Amazon servo and a Spektrum receiver. This is my go to rig anytime I hit the trails or the beach and don't feel like lugging around my SCX6 Honcho

"That did escalate quickly, didn't it" Coffee... everywhere... Thanks for the chuckle my guy!

In my older age im understanding why traxxas is the way it is. They may not be the best vehicles for racing but if you want to go outside and have some fun without worrying about brraking parts and having to spend a lot to fix it. My x-maxx takes and absolute beating and keeps in coming and the parts are easy to grt and aftermarket is so much better now than when the 6s version was avaialble.

The white/gray stuff in the creek is raw sewage. Just had a large creek by my contaminated by it, freaking gross! Stay out, no ticks for poo crawling lol
-
I bought my TRX4 Defender on release day, so sometime in 2017... And until this day, I still have the original micro servos for the gear and diff. They still work without any kind of issue....
-
I just got my '21 Bronco a month ago and love it. Such a cool rig. It's seen nothing but snow too and been completely fine.
-
I believe the TRX4 is the best out of the box crawler. Now there is that new one you just reviewed with the portals and such just a few weeks ago and it may be as good but I believe the TRX4 has the crown. Much like Porsche, the TRX4, if it ain't broke, don't change it.
-
Crawlers are one type of vehicle where I don't mind bushings. I'm more likely to seize a bearing before a bushing wears out. Also, it's not exactly a high speed application so bearings aren't really necessary anyway.
-
I know people are divided over Traxxas and it sounds like they do some punitive things to smaller brands, some which seem rather mean. But I have had my TRX4 since 2017 and apart from a motor change and a servo change, nothing has gone wrong with it at all. Just works.
-
I liked hearing about when you started your channel! I have a few cheap action cams and finally upgraded to a GoPro! I don't think there were too many back in 2017 with locking diffs. Great video!! Cheers!
-
I saw this body in person last Spring and the body and overall truck LOOKS AWESOME!!!!
-
I guess I got the only reliable micro servos traxxas made. On my Summit working for 10+ years now.
-
yeah the trx4 is a great chassis . and lovely body shells to . the two speed snd locking diffs add to the drive fun .
-
Thanks for addressing that mate. Thought that was a mogwai on the floor at first
-
It performed extremely well under tough conditions. You can imagined what people do to these rigs. This was great test and review.
-
I find that on tricky down hills it's best to unlock all diffs and put it in high speed. It can roll faster so the gears don't slow it and cause a roll over. Also allows you to throttle out easier. Open diffs prevent one wheel getting stuck and locking up all 4.
-
Nice one, I bought the TR4M and the price was very good for what you get and I liked so much that I have bought the light kit and the quality is very good, nice fitting. I don´t see why some one could hate traxxas, but I´m new in this world, I only own a Kyosho mini Z and a Maverick ion XT for 15 years but now I have added this TRX4M and a Kyosho Fcer Subaru and the small Hoonitron from Team associated. Too may RC in 2 months ...

I have this very trx4 in red. I just got finished driving it around at a classic car show. Everyone loved it, and I got some killer photos of it with some legit full size classic American muscle.
