Great review as always Greg, and nice that you got out with your boys. I will admit that I spend half the time watching your videos trying to figure out where you are trailing so I can get my rigs out there.

Excellent review as always. I’m liking this truck.

Great looking crawler! I'm definitely going to be getting one👍

Always great when your family enjoys your hobby as much as you do!

Can't say as I am a fan of the body, but a quiet transmission is a pretty good step in the right direction. Always a great video Greg.

I see Axial getting a lot of flack on this release, and aside from some weird body choices I totally get it. At it's price point it makes a lot of sense. Some misses, but all in all I like the direction it moving towards. Like most, I am looking forward and hoping for a builders kit.

Yeah, it seems like we’re at a point where people are expecting epic release after epic release. In reality that can’t happen. But they can fill in gaps easily and Base Camp does that. I’ve been living with these for weeks so the bodies have grown on me and I won’t mind when I trash them pushing the rig too far. Maybe sliders and beadlock wheels would have been nice, but all in all it’s good. I agree a kit would be great!

As always great video very informative. RC has found its way with my family too. Last month we took a few days off in Northern MN and brought the RC trucks with us. It was a great experience and hope to do it again soon. The wife likes/wants the TRX4 79 Bronco, maybe this could be another option. Who knows but either way fun/therapeutic journey for the kids and adults. Like button pressed to excite the algorithms. As always many thanks for the effort you put into the channel. Cheers!!!

On full turning lock does the tyre rub against the underneath link bar? Also are the electronics waterproof out of then box?

Should've put on some Proline Super Swampers or some Duratrax Deepwoods. Both of those tires love the loose terrain.

Agreed! Way to take a bad release and make the best of it with family. And thank you for the solid review of a truck that is available from just about every other crawler manufacturer for less then this one. looks like you guys had fun though. that's a win with this one. thanks for sharing.

Disagree, I think this truck is amazing and the light body performs well and definitely grows on u with a bit of decals. Also the ar 45 portal axles make it a good value already. Even the shocks are really decent. At this price point it’s the best axial performance wise yet to date and with a little brass and some upgrades and tinkering it’s been a beast so far and outperforms my trx4 sport. I think axial hit a home run with this truck. It quickly became my favorite in a fleet of many.

I'm a 1/24 scale crawler kind of guy but this dose looks cool.

They can be. Some people add a little extra grease in the transmission and axles to help damp the sound.

Green color is the best

Seriously, get a TRX4 Sport. I got mine a month ago, and I was all hot-to-trot on Axial there for a minute. If you want something different and interesting, consider the Axial Capra 4WS, but if you want one RTR rock crawler, there is no match for the TRX4 Sport. Best durability, capability, most fun, bar none. I obsessed over my decision, making sure I spent my money with the right product. It only took one rip on the rocks to know I made the right choice.

Now we need a trx face off

it would be cool if you could buy the 2-speed transmission for this.

Not impressed with the new release but geez how great it must be to get multiple rigs sent to ya for free. An RC hobbyists dream lol. Send me 4 or 5 and Ill talk about how great it is too!!! Lol. All jokes aside I just think they missed the mark on this one. Just my opinion but i feel like for $390 that the Element Ecto ($399), Trx 4 Kit ($399), Element Sendero ($375) or the Trx4 Sport ($369) are much better options in that price range. I just see a lot of cheap components here. Im gonna get one because Im an RC Crawler freak who will want to see and try it out for myself but I just dont see it impressing me much.
