The small scale crawler market has a new player, and while everyone else is playing checkers, Traxxas is playing chess. The long list of cool features, options, low price, and accessories already make the new Traxxas TRX4M a compelling choice for your next small-scale crawler. I think they've got a winner on their hands.

@@JrokkShenanigans bummer, proves quality has gone way downhill. Sad really. I have 3 fords 71 bronco, 04 350 4wd , 03 f150 2wd stepside. Nothing major so far. Still have no plans on ever parting with them.

Looks great! I'm deep into full scale and 10th scale but run my scx24 all winter. This would be a great companion for it, absolutely love the green defender body.

They're great for indoor use!

@jessedeldonno8985 Год назад

Thanks for the great content! I have been wanting to get a D110 hardbody for my 1/10th rig to give it a more scale appearance, but the fact that I could just get the TRX-4M for about the same price a tenth scale body makes it a very hard choice. Good work once again!

@_Sphaxz_ Год назад

It'll be interesting to see what they end up doing about alternate wheelbase options since these two bodies are the ones on the 12.8" wheelbase on the full size TRX4. I'm looking forward to the one I have on order to show up.

@RCTNT Год назад

Nice intro on this. The way they vertically mounted the servo on axle was unusual - looks like cms but drives like ams, perhaps. I like it! Mind you, that torque twist at 14:44 hints at tuning maybe being useful here. I'll make my own foams for this thing, I reckon. Nice review, Matt, thanks.

@truerc Год назад

Great video. I especially liked the accurate scale info you provided based on wheelbases. Excellent addition👍 I may pick one up if they offer some other makes.

@xtyano440 Год назад

Great review Matt! very detailed and well explained! cheers!

@ScaleCustomCrawlers-SCC Год назад

Both bodies look gorgeous,Traxxas did a great job at scaling these two . As i started this hobby and my RU-vid channel based on smaller scale trucks(1/12-16) but hard bodies only(so i could work with) , i think these will fit perfectly to my collection.While the 24th scale is not for my liking,the 1/18 scale is much more appealing to me. I would love you to make the Bronco body "your own",whatever that means!In SBG we trust!

@barneymiller7894 Год назад

24th scale rigs look dead on scale with 1/20th scale model kit hardbodies 👍

@benfisher3695 Год назад

@douglaselliott8298 Год назад

I wasn't interested in the 1/24 scale hoo-haaa, but this 1/18 has my attention. Traxxas's price point is genius. Very attractive to penurious newcomers to the hobby as well as adult relatives looking for a winning Christmas present for a pre-teen. Reliable as I know Traxxas products to be I hope they sell boat loads of em'.

penurious! Impressive word! Yes... it's definitely a great price and just in time for Christmas!

@twain772 Год назад

My FRIEND or loaner rig is a danchee ridgerock, I stick a 2S lipo in it and let them go. The ridgerock is perfect for kids and beginners in RC. Of course it is not a completely stock rig so they dont get frustrated when it wont climb things so I put on some modified canyon trail knock-offs on it and they are a pretty decent tire.

@kevinoxley5898 11 месяцев назад

My Bronco goes almost everywhere, which is nuts for I/18th scale. Bought the headlight/tail light and two extra batteries and another another USB fast charger. It is fast too! Lights have daytime running lights,Headlights,Tail lights with breaking,reverse lights, and hazard lights. Great bang for the buck and fun!

What I'd most like to see is actually how much of the accessories you can remove from the defender 😆 I really didn't think about getting a small-scale crawler before your and HD's videos but this seems very competitive to tamiya CC02

@sunriserc1033 Год назад

I'm stoked on this release. I ordered 2 myself. I can't remember what color Defender...either grey or green and the red Bronco. Can't wait to pick them up. Just checked out the Traxxas site. Oh boy do they have a lot of accessories. I say you just do everything offered by Traxxas. That's a nice conservative start.

@toddanderson1506 Год назад

It would be interesting to see a comparison between the TRX4M Bronco and the 1/18 Eazy RC Bronx! It seems that the TRX4M is more on the performance side and the Eazy RC Bronx is more on the scale detail side in some ways. It would be interesting to combine the best features of each. It seems the proportions of the Eazy RC Bronx, i.e. the wheel well size and shape are more accurate. I will definately be getting a bronco with alternate color bodies and maybe the defender.

@enochbaker1801 Год назад

@Pnwski Год назад

Best review of these yet! Been eyeing these up since the release and see one or two in my near future. They did a solid on the scale. love the 1/18. I do wish you could mount the servo to the chassis. I know "performance" isn't as great, but just something about a axle mounted servo on a "scale" rig just seems off.

@scalebuildersguild Год назад

Glad you like them!

12:00 we didn't have these as kids, we would ride our bikes through mud puddles. But we did have the Cox 049 airplanes on a string. You lucky kid.😆

@markskielliott5962 Год назад

Think for when I get one I’ll keep the upper plastic links and replace the lowers with some nice stainless ones. Little bit of brass on the front axle where available, wheels, tyres, I’d chop up the defender whilst keeping the double cab but make a flat bed and finally one of those furitek brushless systems.

@jerryvolpini7987 Год назад

The 1/24 scale micro rigs, on a tight, indoor course, will be hard to beat but the 1/18 mini scale will dominate everywhere else!

@ryurc3033 Год назад

20 Years ago I had something like 60 1/25-1/24 model cars.custom airbrushed paint jobs with 4 layers of wetsanded clear coat....so much of my childhood spent with a Dremel, cutting up little cars, making the coolest looking things I could. when the 1/24 scale rc stuff came out, I had already committed to 1/10 with something like 8 crawlers. I like the idea of 1/18 scale ,for some model options for bodies, but so much more expensive to find (obviously I have a problem),but. Unfortunately slowly been selling off the things. Nothing more I would like than to have a couple of 1/24 monster truck kits to put custom hard bodies on. Budget restrictions last few years mean I have to prioritize more. I hate adulting. But I will keep watching your videos, and hopefully the world can hold together, and we can all keep playing with tiny trucks.

I bought the defender body (paintless) and the bronco RC (defender sold out). Took a while but was fun to put together. A couple issues: the door handles on the driver side don’t stay, gonna have to use glue. Same with the gas cap, doesn’t want to stay. Lastly the roof rack also most likely needs to be glued. Other than that fun and easy! Make sure you get the bumpers if you switch bodies, each one has its own bumpers for the clipless body!

@jerryvolpini7987 Год назад

Matt, brother, at $150 USD can't ask for much more (add some inner fenders and bearings and the price starts to climb)! I think this is the perfect combination of price vs features (not something I normally say about Traxxas). Not a big fan of 1/24 scale, just not very versatile. With 1/18 scale though, indoors or out, you have yourself a competent crawler. My Losi MRC is highly modified but this is an easy, inexpensive may to get into a mini crawler. Really, a home run by Traxxas (not something I say very often, as well)! 👍

@scalebuildersguild Год назад

It's such a good price, I think Traxxas worked really hard to produce these in time for Christmas!

Well I’m a bit late but I’ve pre ordered a Defender. Us normal folks can’t get it online right now. I actually love the look of the Bronco the front view is awesome. But I have the 1:10 scale Bronco & always wanted a Defender style body so Defender it was. I’ve watched your video on the New 1:18 scale Capra & it pushed me closer to getting it. I’m thinking New M 150$ New 1:18 Capra 250$ so only 400$ for both isn’t bad. And both have room to grow with upgrades coming soon.

@J33P4D00R Год назад

Proprietary connectors is all too common with Traxxas (and they tend to sue people that make adapters). It sucks, but I get it. I really with they released more of their products as kits as I really enjoy the building part of RC. I have an original Defender TRX4 (before they released a kit of the TRX4) and I did a complete disassembly and rebuild of it because I enjoy the build and knowing how everything works.

Kit building is paramount to this hobby, couldn't agree more!
