RC ADVENTURES - A TRAXXAS TRX-4 PERFORMANCE TEST
Ойын-сауық
The TRX4 is simply incredible. I have never had a Radio Control Scale Trail Truck drive this well in all of my years of trail driving. The clearance of the Portal Axles, easily conquered all of the Massive Roots that have claimed MANY victims - and many trucks before. I beat down this truck in on the rocks and in the water - half expecting broken gears - or at least a popped link. NOTHiNG! I trailed hard for 1 hour - and at the end of the trek - my truck WAS STiLL ROLLiNG. This is a rare occurrence for me.. and usually, I have to carry out my rig. I was pleasantly surprised. I also chose to change my tires, to a Sealed Bead Lock for the Water. No need to tape holes in the original rims, if you have a sealed bead lock.
Being a Tekin guy, I have upgraded my truck with a TEKiN RX4 Waterproof ESC, for better control over my trucks motor. I can also boost the battery, if I choose to a larger cell. The Tekin RX4 does not get hot like the original ESC from Traxxas.
My Rock-Pod Lights are from www.OneTooManyRCs.com

Get a Traxxas TRX4 1/10th Scale Trail Truck: amzn.to/2sJ1rX4
If you are looking for a Battery, I suggest a Venom brand. They come with a variety of ends, and can be used on multiple models. 4000mah, for this truck: amzn.to/2rc3u46

RCSparks Studio hey I loved this truck and got back into RC recently. My steering servo on my Latrax Teton is fidgeting when I try and turn and doesn't handle like I know it should. I have already had to replace it once. What do you think this could be since you know way more about RC trucks and thins than I. Since I focus on trains

Collin Allen im assuming you know what you are talking about... im a noob at this rc stuff. So I was wondering if I bought this truck and put in a fast brushless motor im talking like 40mph capable motor... would I still be able to put it in low lock the diffs and crawl along with unlock put in high and race arround?

Cookie.MONSTER.EAT.Cookie Cookie.MONSTER ...Cookie.MONSTER.EAT.Cookie Cookie.MONSTER .... yes you should be able to. But just like with any power system upgrade, if it's more power than the truck was designed around then it may require many more upgrades to hold up. i would just run the stock setup on maximum rated power (3s i think it is) until other people test it so you know what additional parts will need to be upgraded with the swap.

Hi Seth.. just me, the truck, and the woods.. today :) Glad you enjoyed it!
as always, YOUR VIDEO ROCKS Medic!!!! Appreciate all you do for the hobby and your followers. I used to be heavy in to rc's back in my military days and recently got back in to it when Traxxas offered the Summit Lipo version. I am disabled from am accident back then and I know I can always find one of your videos to help me out. I have wanted a scaler for years, but I kept holding out for Traxxas to come out. I have called them three times through the last several years asking if one was coming out because I was getting the itch to bad and almost bought an axial. Glad I held out!!!
by far the best test video on this truck. you covered it all and made the TRX-4 shine. hope to see more 😎

It seems that traxxas has done well with the choice of components and i really want to get my hands on this truck.
best TRX-4 video I've seen yet! I bought one today after watching this video! Great Job!!!!!
Its one of the most impressive stock scale trucks I've seen and was very surprised being that it was Traxxases first scale truck ever. Their design and research team did an amazing job
I think being able switch gears and lock diff's on the fly is nice. The clearance was also awesome.
best thing about Traxxas is they are like Associated in that everyone and their brother carries spares for them

Hands down the best video of the Trx4 on KZread ! Pretty awesome you filmed over different terrains, it really captures the trucks capabilities.
I've been looking at this truck for about a month now, on KZread. Went to my FLHS last week and DROOLED on it - went back today and picked one up! You NAILED it - this IS one INCREDIBLE truck! I'm already planning several upgrades, most notably the Link and a new body. My wife's favorite color is sapphire blue, and I'm going to buy the clear Lexan body, mask off the windows, and shoot the body color, then shoot the windows in smoke. After that comes all the light kits and other dress up stuff. By the time I've finished it, she should be fully qualified to drive it, and it's HER truck. P.S. Guys: don't tell her, it's her birthday present to replace her old Tamiya Blackfoot race truck.
Every video I watch of the trx-4 makes me want one more and more then I look at my bank balance 😥😥!

Probably the best 4x4 RC I've seen. Wow!
Impressed..... Never been a Traxxas fan but that may change :) Thank you for producing a "Real" workout of this truck for us, much appreciated.
I like video with no music better anyway bc how you can hear the tires working and I just like it so yea go rc sparks

It's not. A true rock crawler it's a trail and sometimes rock crawling truck
I enjoy the nature soundtrack. I love to hear the vehicle making it's way down the path. The leaves and branches crunching & crackling is sweet music to my ears. Being able to hear the tires grabbing or slipping and the motor turning really pulls me into your videos. Your camera work is fantastic as well. The placement and angle at 3:51 increased my heart rate when she came over that hill coming out of the "jungle."
Great video as always. Traxxas really did something for the hobby with this model. If I break my Wraith or Yeti its instantly $100 and waiting for the UPS guy. If I break my Traxxas Rally usually its $20.00 and 10 minutes to the hobby store. Of course there will be the Traxxas haters (they just want to be different like everyone else) but there is a reason they are the most popular RC company on the continent.
Dude this thing is awesome I need to get it as my second or third Rc.
Wow very loud! Much louder then mine. Great video!

Traxxas absolutely killed the crawler game with this incredible rig! Great video Medic!
This is usually not my kind of RC, but well done on capturing how well it can be done. Seems like Traxxas did their homework on the rig. The portals are awesome to see on a scale truck. No doubt they'll be adapted to other platforms for their obvious advantage.

Just like a kid, speeding around town, doing burnouts til you break something. Speed breaks things. Low gearing and slow gets you there. In a rocky streambed like this one, i'd be in the lowest gear i had, crawling over the rocks easily. I've seen guys trying to climb a hill, engine revving, tires spewing dirt and rocks everywhere. When they can't get it up they back down in failure. Then i drive up in 100:1 double-low in my old rusty under-powered truck. Yours may be faster, but mine will go Anywhere.
Traxxas has out done themselves with this truck!!!!!!! this thing looks amazing! I need to sell my summit now so i can get this, i am beside myself right now. thanks for the great video again.
Yet another great video! Thanks for always keepin your channel family friendly! Made it easy to allow my impressionable son to watch an unlimited number of your videos!
I think for at least your first run you should have left it stock because not everyone has the money to upgrade right out of the box... And besides people want to see how the truck runs... Stock... Because if you know its good with upgrades, how do you know if the truck its self (stock) is good?

Truly an awesome video my friend. I have not been overly impressed by the TRX until now. You have changed my opinion of this truck. Your setup is obviously spot on !!!!
In general I don't like crawlers that much , but the Traxxas engineers got it right this time I am really impressed , I think I will watch for this truck at my local hobby shop and make a budget to get everything , a decent charger , 2x 3s lipo packs . I will stick to the original ESC for a while and maybe put a fan on it since I won't do anything in water. This will be my nephew present for sure. Great video.

Page, its as awesome as it looks in the video :)
four times I have watched and shared with friends. That was some really unexpected bashing, can't say that I have seen you drive a vehicle so aggressively in a while, purposeful or proving a point? Either way, the results were impressive at showing the durability and the not quite as top heavy as you think. Great color, never noticed before the chameleon effect the body has with the surroundings, don't think the red does that. Really looking forward to your crawl now, I think we all know its a trail truck and you proved that aspect, but can it still astound us at the rocks... Before you do though, can you maybe find the cause of the drivetrain noise? Yours has been the loudest in all the vids. many many likes to you I just accidentally deleted the link to our friend in France. The previous vid got removed for the song having a copyright violation I think. So a new link to GUM-QX2 FAR RC's latest. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y3ql2NeTkszgnpc.html

Yes, the aggressive driving is something I do with all of my new rigs. Durability testing, really. That way I know where it is weak. And I was very surprised and happy with this truck. I also did a similar video with the Capo Ace 1 Rock/Trail buggy a few weeks back. As for the loud sound.. my microphone is very sensitive and picks up a lot of the sound - especially when it is so quiet outside :)
by far the best trx-4 running video i have seen! great job!
Without a doubt the best TRX-4 vid out there. Two thumbs up!
I wonder if a honcho body and rear cage would reduce the top heaviness of the truck

Traxxas did an excellent job with the TRX4. I'm super impressed with what I see.
Thanks for the amazing video. You always have the best test and reviews.
this is best example why we watch YOUR videos.
by far the best video of this truck yet keep the videos coming
Video and control at the same time and still can perform as a PRO!!! For that you deserve to earn millions like. Salute!
The slow-mo was awesome!!!! Thx for the test review. Great job.
mate love your vids by far the best RC show on KZread never stop!
love every second of that video and your choice of music was simply exquisite lol what a fantastic rig
Yes I've been waiting for this video, really enjoyed this episode
This truck looks amazing. I ordered the same one Sunday. Hopefully it's hear by the weekend.
Great real world test! This video convinced me to buy the Traxxas. Thanks for posting.
This is the best video I'v seen for the TRX4. Thank you. I really need to get one of these's trucks.
Nice video! Beautiful scenery and colors. I can say that I did not care that Traxxas was releasing a scale truck. This is the only video I have taken the time to watch and I think you showcased it really well. It looks pretty good. Great job Aaron!

Sure thing. The gloves are off. Traxxas brings us a serious capable rig here. Now it's up to the other manufacturers to step up their game a notch and come with something equal/better. For a long time we were used to trailcrawlrigs all based on the same concept. And now? Here comes Traxxas....

Thx so much for all the videos, for me they are therapeutic.
I don´t know anything about crawlers or trail trucks, but this one looks good. I´d hope that you could make a complete teardown video on this truck. Get the axles, diffs, shocks etc open and show us what this beast has had for dinner :) Thanks for the content :)
I think the trx-4 may be the first traxxas that I've ever wanted to buy! excellent run video!
Wow seems to be like a unstoppable tank on your trail I enjoyed seeing how capable it is looks like the developer did a fantastic job to design and build a very capable trail rig Thanks for sharing this video
AWESOME!! Those tires look sweet! What a killer video dude!! That truck went beast mode on that creek!!
I love this truck. Looks really scale and the crawling ability is great.👌🏼
Damn nice truck, it has made it to the top of my list. Thanks for making this!
always well done u make the best rc vidz great inspiration as always
looks awesome! can't wait to see it on the backyard obstacle course
Nice driving! Truck looks super fun and agile, along with an outstanding trail you can't go wrong!
great video, I love the trx4 bronco, it's what brought me back to rc
Great work man..luvely..no words..simply an art
Might be the first Traxxas that I would be interested in. Looks impressive.
this is one of there best ready to run trucks i have seen i would most definitely buy it and keep up the good vids your the one that inspired me to join the rc hobby
Love this rig bro!!! Can't get enough of it. Can't afford buying one my girl would kill me haha Thanks for sharing this!!
Seems super capable out of the box. Glad you swapped out the ESC.
All I can say is I really liked it! Traxxas has a winning combination here!
the most awaited review of this truck
Yes slow mo is rad - suspension flex- water splashes! Ps that truck rocks!
Ohh, great to see you driving this awesome rig 👍😊 very nice video
I'm sure the crawling or scale purest may not agree with me but Traxxas really knocked it out the park with this one! Love the slow MO and Hi speed in the water, that was phenom. And lets not forget the root clearing shots. Some of your viewers might even recognize some of the roots or even the trail from past videos. But only the enlightened ones. HaHa Peace Medic!!!
You are the man. Sweet video. Thanks
LOVE the soundtrack. And the truck.
this is going to b one of da best rigs to get beginners into da hobby as its less frustrating
Nice video. I had to laugh as it jumped around in the water, great soundtrack too. Pretty much convinced me to buy one now. :)
Why is this so satisfying
Well I'd have to say it looks pretty unstoppable to me, I'm impressed!
The best crawler RTR i've ever seen
Traxxas has done it again!!! This is an awesome rig!!!
incredibly Epic, cannot wait to get one.
Finally someone took it through some water! Sweet intro shot!
This truck seems to be a top of the class runner. Great video and first test.
I though your video was the best test of any crawler that I have have seen, you put this truck to the max. I was trying to figure out if I want to spend the money on this truck, but now I know, thanks
That's an awesome truck can't wait for mine to show up.
What an awesome and surprisingly capable rig. Traxxas did they're homework on this one.
Love this truck!keep up the good work medic love the videos.
