Man after looking at the TRX4M I REALLY don’t understand other companies like Axial and why they don’t follow how Traxxas does it. Look at the TRX4M and it already has Tons of Traxxas made accessories and upgrade parts for it. Even a nice cheap $29 trailer. The SCX24 defined an entire market and Axial just sat there doing nada. They left all the money on the table for everyone with a 3d printer to scoop up. Anyway the TRX4M looks great and of course so do all the hop ups you can buy for it. Gonna have to go with the Blue Bronco I think. Nice overview.

I’ll stick to my fcx24’s. They blow these things out the water!! Out of all the bodies traxxas makes the come out with a lame top heavy defender & a soccer mom bronco🤷🏼‍♂️. I’ll have one one day but not running out & buying one anytime soon!

@@INSIDIOUS-ONE I feel that, I’m definitely more interested in the performance than anything…. Maybe even using some of their accessories for other trucks… that trailer looks like it could be fun to set up custom gates for and the optional tires might be pretty good too. I’ll probably wait until we get some lighter performance based bodies before I pick up a trx4m to replace my scx/fcx though

Really nice that they offer all of their own upgrades

Beautiful driving footage, It looks incredable with my VR goggles!

I just got the Trx4m as my first RC car and installed the light kit before first use. Went outside in some tallish grass with some small branches at a tree line at dusk. Wow I am so glad I tried this one as my first. This thing is great without any upgrades. I did buy the low gear ratio mod and will install it after getting a good feel for how it is stock. Need to replace the wheels or add spacers as I have noticed (rarely) the issue others talk about with the tires rubbing a piece of the axel assembly which sometimes causes the tires to stop movement all together until you adjust, but it has happened so rarely to me that I don't mind and am actually looking forward to solving that issue with some minor modifications! I think I got the bug...

Those tiny things are gonna be huge this Christmas!

Great video, thanks so much for going into detail. I would like to ask you a few questions..... 1. Is the transmission fairly quick and easy to swap? 2. Will both bodies fit on each chassis? 3. Are the plugs for the lighting proprietary? 4. Do you think Little Guy Racing Trail Kings would fit....maybe if the shocks are repositioned? 5. Do you think injora brass wheel rings would fit the stock wheels or would the traxxas ones need to be used? Thanks in advance for any info you share!

i preordered the green defender at my LHS. I have a bronco scx24 and was curious about the defender more haha

Was just looking at the bigger bronco and wishing it wasn't so expensive. This looks like a good compromise

I like the idea of trail mode. This seems like a good RC car even for general use if you’re not into rock crawling. Cuz it’s all dirt and crappy roads where I live.

Nice video, thanks! What's the speed on flat track? Not looking for any fast car but I'd like my kids to enjoy a walk following their car

New battery connector? How do you charge that battery on a Traxxas live charger?

I have a trx4 and im still considering buying one of these

How much of these TRX4M can you fit on the TRX6 Ultimate Hauler bed?

looks like it needs some softer tires, i wonder if the trail king m/t would look good on the bronco

So excited to get one of these awesome little trucks! I'm hoping they release a 1979 Bronco body for this, that would really seal the deal for me.

If you’re running the rig bone stock out of the box it appears to be fine and no glue necessary. My kids have been putting additional run time in on them. Which should break down the tires, but they’re still holding the bead.

So in your opinion, which truck handled better, were they tipsy?

The rear Axle bearings look out the Axle housing.

Quick question. When will this be available on Amazon?

Hey, does the remote contain a button about switching to 2nd gear or 1st gear?

Bronco is beast..

But will it handle as well as the FMS or new Axial?

How much do the tires rub the body? Does the wheels articulate further without the body? You said the tires are not glued so did you glue them or not?

Nice vid first in the trx4m

whats better the broco or the defender

Which is the best rock crawler/Water resistant out of the FTX Outback v2 Bronco and the HPI Maverick Scout??

Thats a good question. Traxxas will have better LHS support. The FCX is more open wheel which helps with capability. I like the Traxxas factory electronics better. FCX does have portal clearance. Traxxas plastic quality is nice. I think I’d want to see how fast the aftermarket option support kicks in for Traxxas first.
