Geared Up & All-Terrain Ready! - Traxxas TRX-4 With Traxx Scale Crawler Review & Action | RC Driver 

I bought this recently after it came out and I think its great. It is my first crawler type vehicle, and I have not been disappointed. Your video helped me decide, thanks!

Although I rarely comment, I always watch your vids if they include a trail machine. At first I didn't like Traxxas because the Emaxx dethroned my beloved Clodbuster. But a short time later I had two Emaxx's. Hahaha. I've been a fan ever since. I love the features of the TRX4's. Tho , it's a plastic rig(per se)and the mediocre electronic's aside...the plastic are really good and the medals are WAY stronger than any other trail-machines in the $250-$450 range...what I mean is I've seen TRX4's on BIG power on 6s being absolutely abuse at 40...50+mph and hold together till they hit an immovable object. If I wanted Trax...this is definitely the way I'd go.

Nice job i just picked this one up and traxxas now gives you a bonus for free the 4 wheels and tools to change out from traxx to wheels.

Great video,but I will like see more in the mud, because where we use the crawler it’s 💯 porcent mud , hi from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 🇺🇸🤜🏻🤛🏻

Wow detail is top notch, love the traxx, thanks for sharing, great review

I'd seriously consider this one if it had the 1/10 Summit motor (if it could even fit) and a similar gearbox with high and low gears, giving it a bit more speed (maybe up to 15-20 km/h in high gear). I've never liked the Titan 550 motor. Had one, and scrapped it within days for a brushless. But the Titan 775 has treated me very well. Had my Summit for years, and I haven't even really lubed the bushings on the motor at all. Unfortunately, the Summit Esc got fried a while back, and I suspected it was the servos that did it (2 steering servos fighting eachother). Changed the Esc and installed a single brushless Traxxas steering servo. But now it doesn't steer like it should, and no idea how to fix it. Anyway, would be nice if they offered something as good and versatile as the Summit, but without any major flaws. This isn't it, for me. Tired of wrenching on RC's, so not going to buy something just to replace parts right away. But the tracks are very cool on this, for sure.

Update, this truck does awesome! It has an upgraded servo (still sluggish, just not as bad as before) and a metal servo horn stock, as well as deep Traxx instead of the ones shown in the video. And since I've gotten mine, they now have clippers mounting for the body as well. Superb all around crawler and have already installed a higher torque servo, aluminum motor plate, aluminum stub axle nuts, and new aluminum body GTR shocks for the Traxx.

Nice Traxx,high Prince but the Performance is awesome

They are even better now. I just bought 2 back in August of this year they now come with deep trax and a set of tires. Well worth the money and so much fun.

A utility truck body would be awesome

I would like to see this running in some snow.

Great crawling & location

Great location man!

Good day. How much is the torque twist for this model? I would like to modify a crawler to take a camera to places I can't go for interesting shots. Camera will make it top heavy, and roll-over will be bad news.

Can this or the Sport pair up with TQi Link if I already have a Rustler 4x4 VXL?

I was hoping you’d review one of these!

Does traxxas make those tracks for xmaxx

You do a good job selling. The problem is it looks like you are just an ad for mostly traxxas. When I was in RC years ago (29 years) I liked print ad magazines for RC. They compared different companies. From those features I bought a Kyosho Turbo Ultima. Our local RC club ran races at local area festivals on roads or parking lots. Yes mine was a buggy but I still raced that bone stock kit in both stock and modified. Because of my job I couldn't make all of the races. I still finished 6th in stock (the largest class by far) and 2nd in modified for the whole summer and fall series. I want to get back into RC again but I don't see Traxxas in racing events. Not on or off road. Can you please do some videos of Kyosho, HB, Xray, Yokomo, and others in the racing end of things? Be the leader in RC not the commercial for kids toys please. When I was in it the Toys were for the parents that were looking for a babysitter to watch the kids so they didn't have to. The racing had Moms and Dads with there kids as families involved in RC together. Sons and daughters racing in stock classes and the kids helping the parents with the modified cars. Show kits where the parents and kids spend their time together building something that will have a longer lasting memory and bonding experience please. Just my opinion mind you. And yes I know that traxxas is the largest seller but once it breaks most people will put it on a garage sale and forget about the hobby because they don't understand what and how to repair/replace parts to keep it going (which Traxxas has a ton of). Most kids 10 years old back then helped me when I got my kit on the how to make it easy to build and troubleshoot handling issues. They were a great help. Some parents had to work on a race day and asked if their kids could pit with me for adult supervision purposes only. All of those kids were well behaved and perfect marshalls when their race was done. I had 2 batteries, 1 for stock, 1 for modified. These kids would make sure my batteries were ready to go for me and make sure everything was right on my car as I was marshaling for 2 classes. What happened to that kind of help and respect from today's kids? To many parents buying babysitters and not family involved kits. I still see some of these kids today and they all say hi and so do their kids! What a difference a kit can make

How fast could you run it on traxx without an issue?

Does it come with wheels

It's cool but I'd buy a tank

You say in your videos you run in Wolcott CT. New to the RC world do you have a shop or do you recommend any shops?? Use to use Winsted hobbies and more. Looking for a new shop for parts and expertise!!

Looks like an awesome truck! I’m just getting into the hobby and I have a slash. But I am looking for a crawler but I don’t have enough money! :( any recommendations?

Where can you buy this truck with the tracks rtr ?

would turn better if you tires on it

🎥👍🥇

Bank error in your favor, collect $200! ...I wish Traxxas did errors like this, for me :)) Come on, now... no TRX will ever be happier than in my backyard jungle... ask my Tactical Unit! :D

Great video, very cool miniature tech and scale realism, but this entire "Crawler" genre is boring imo.

THIRD!

Not gonna lie when I saw the thumbnail I thought it was real truck

My LHS got one of these in and when I went in to see it the owner drove it up my leg lmao. The TRX-4 Traxx is such a sweet truck!

I'm no expert but I reckon that deep tracks with epic weight would really do service to the concept

Great review Greg👍👍 Looks like a solid selection for anyone that has been on the fence for the TRX4. Totally agree buying this kit you are ahead than buying the standard TRX4. Sad to say but I too can't wait for the winter to get my traxx out😁

Worth noting that now it includes its own servo now, 2270 which is rated at 236oz in. Much better than the 2075x at least.

I guess this is much the reason why my 'Expedition Rack' ordered a month ago when I purchased my TRX4-Sport is still on back order.

$550 for $730 worth of extra parts and truck itself. Add to that right now traxxas will throw in a set of wheels and tires. Insane deal

I just bought mine about a week ago, and they now come with the deep tracks, 4 tires and the screws needed to convert from the Traxx to the tires. It really is a good deal, and I'm glad I bought mine!

That's a fantastic truck, any idea when we may get another giveaway like the x maxx

Is there a difference to the Trx 4 sport

Anybody know how fast this goes with the traxx on and with them off? Also would the traxx work with a brushless motor upgrade?

Aaah, I see. They are getting rid of the blue ones for review models and saving the orange lol

I have the diffender and I have this one as well...awesome truck

I think traxxas actually killed it with this truck! What a good looking truck. I already own a trx4 Bronco and absolutely love it, although I would actually consider buying this blue sport with the tracks and accessories.

the orange things on the side look like a scoop stretcher , for medevac . love these 4 traxx !

When I was in high school in the 90s I love the RC cars. Traxxas made RC cars but they were pretty much junk now they rule the industry

My only knock against this truck is that it doesn't have the 2 speed trans and locking diffs. Just got one, gonna see how it does in my new territory of Virginia.

Here's a link to the regular trx 4 sport without tracks amzn.to/2LIaKCu

I love this, yet I’m quite broke... bronco for me

I am debating in between this one and the Mercedes 6x6

you couldn't pull this off in my crawler group. We call that cheater rig. cheater tires and you get laughed out.

I got the same one but the traxx i got more grips on end its came with tires bonus love it really fun trx4

I bought the rc if I wanna put tiers on it is the screws all I need ? Do I need to get any adapters for it?

How much $ did that set you back? *oh $600-$700*

How sturdy are these. Does the track slip off

nice atr edit: if it was brushless stock with two speed trans it might be more cost a fective

That's great! Thanks for the video

That’s weird mine came with the super harsh tracks

If Traxxas sold that set up with the armored vehicle body, i'd buy it in a heartbeat.

U sold me sir my local hoddy shop has it for 529 with a set of tires as well

Is there anything I need to switch it to tires?

Nice to have this option when buying the trx4

Can you put those tracks on to a different vehicles

Hello from Canada Greg. Subscriber and enjoy your video content. Just wondering if you still recommend this almost 3 years later. I am also wondering if you know if Traxxas is planning a V2 of this truck with upgrades, etc... Thanks and take care. Keep the videos coming.

IM STUCK,,,,,,LIFT KIT AND 2.2S!!!??? ORR THE TRAX??? I HAVE A SCALE TRAILER FOR MY TRX4,,AND I CAN PULL IT WITH MY SUMMIT!!SO DONT HAVE TO GO SLOW,AND SAVE BATTERY/WEAR AND TEAR ETC WHAT SHOULD I BUY????? LIFT KIT???OR TRAX?????

Can you put tires on it?

Hey I want to build my own, I think. I’m a total noob do you think I can build this kit? They ship soon mid April. Thanks

Is it rtr

would have been a great video but the music was way to loud during the crawling footage. great information otherwise

For that price I can get either a e revo or a summit 😂

as soon as u can i would love to see it plowing some snow its a cool truck

Awesome dude!!!

We all want to see it working in snow! Its sad they released it in summer

Traxxas right now offers a free set of 4 tires with the truck.

its so crap they dont put the real servo in from the start

Please get rid of the loud music, not needed.

What did u mean by screws the wheel nuts?

That's cool

I love my TRX-4 and the Traxx kit!

It's so ridiculously fun looking.

I just got that one and it’s so cool

I looked and looked for some mud so I went down to the protected wetland...lol. they are including tires and wheels now for $569! Great video!

Keren

Still thinking i need a crawler. What do you suggest?

I wish that instead of the lights and accessories they would include a better servo

It's a RIP off seeing how you'll be upgrading all electronics the traxx are cute but useless the body is going in the trash for a better proline body and the lights well the lights are 3 dollars on Ebay lol

$600 piece of plastic , unbelievable

Definitely thinking about getting this. Does this model come equipped with the lift kit?

could you put tires on if you wanted?

Looks like an awesome truck! I’m just getting into the hobby and I have a slash. But I am looking for a crawler but I don’t have enough money! :( any recommendations?

Those tracks look useless 🤣😂😂their slipping where tyres wouldn't

Not a bad choice if you want this kind of vehicle, but they should have written on the box... What you need to complete this vehicle..? A steering servo! This weak servo is rated at 125oz, not strong enough for the big tires, so imagine how crappy it will be with these Traxx! BTW, when you want to buy these Traxx, they tell you this... "Use a High-Torque 400oz-in servo and a High-Output BEC for maximum turning power in all conditions. "

The one thing i take from this this is battery wise its going to guzzle the juice out of it.. let alone the heat the motor creates..

ur B roll is really pretty but why u didn't show us any real rock crawling ???
