The $2000 Traxxas TRX-4 - How to waste $2000 on the worst upgrades 

I spent over $3,000 in the last 7 months just getting into the hobby. Started with a Sledge, then needed a Hoss for the boy. Then we wanted crawlers. TRX-4 K10 High Trail Cheyenne, then needed a TRX-4m for the boy... I had to buy all the tools to enter the hobby and when those weren't good enough, MIP tools. Most cost is in the Sledge and upgrades for that.

I actually don't buy many upgrade parts from Traxxas for any of my RCs, only stock parts, EXCEPT the light kits for my UDR and my TRX Bronco. For many of the other stuff I check eBay, but it does add up quickly for sure. I'm not to much concerned about how much I'm spending because I have sooooo much fun with my RCs and that's all that really matters. You can always make more money, but no amount of money can replace what makes you smile the most.

Staying away from: all of it... keep it simple and just go crawling

Thanks for the great video and good advice! Just finished my Trx4 unassembled kit build and now it's time to start fine tuning everything! So far I'm pretty happy with the quality of the kit for it being a Traxxas product. Currently have trimmed the stock foams, modded the expedition rack to lighten it, put on some steel rc4wd wheels, swapped and flipped the bumper brackets, and am adding a winch to the stock front bumper after trimmer off the plastic fairlead. After this I will drive it and get a feel for where it needs to have changes made. Keep up the great videos! Love your channel Francis!

Thanks for your channel Bro!! I come from the late 80s and early 90s, Team Losi was King. And Team Associated... Traxxas was the new new kid on the block. I had a hopped up Tmax and thats where my story ended. Around 2003. Now Ive got the RC itch again and I am counting on you to get me back into the swing of things. And you do not disappoint. Subscribed.

This is one of the issues I have with Traxxas. They make great stuff but its simply just too expensive.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I KID YOU NOT: I spent $1545. And I love it!! I sent a copy of this clip to my crawling buddies to make sure they understand that they were not alone criticizing me. To my defense: I wanted to recreate the one we had in 1972 when I was 6. Even I, as a 6 year old, could see and appreciate the thick metal the Brits used to make it. When we went off road for 8 hours with my cousin (1 month old), his shoulder got dislocated within the first hour and he cried for the next 7 hours. Now, he is a proud owner of a defender and my crawler buddy. SOOOO, I have a $15 crying baby in the back of the defender to commemorate him.

I just got back into RC with this truck. I ordered it with the charger/3s batt combo. I got the Bronco version and ordered spare tire and chrome brush guard and plastic beadlock rims. I unglued and reused original tires to save a few dollars. I got the Bluetooth link adapter with it too after seeing how much of a pain manual programming was. I also opted for the 330oz servo and BEC. After having it for a few days I ordered the LED kit and I'm looking into the telemetry mods. I love this truck. Future mods will be underdrive, brass weights, and smaller batteries. Right now I only use it for trailing and a lil bashing/jumping, so replacing broken parts for stronger ones will start soon I'm sure lol.

Story of my life, the biggest waste of money in my RC hobby was actually a Traxxas 2WD Rustler, I went nuts and wanted it to do over 100mph so I added a Castle Mamba Monster ESC and Brushless motor and made the mistake of upgrading the car so much that it will not stay on the ground and is completely uncontrollable at anything more than half throttle. I must have put over 2k into it including the Futaba radio system and all the aluminum parts.

my rule of thumb is, if a part breaks after the third time. I upgrade that part. Other than that. just keep it simple.

I bought and RC4WD Land Rover Defender D90, and I went to town in various upgrades, mods, adding a real winch, etc, and by the time I was done, I had a $1000 vehicle in front of me. Yes, it looks beautiful, but its so heavy and unpractical, that its mainly a shelf queen on display and I mainly run it indoors in my living room.

Bought my TRX4 used 300.00 saved a bunch and the truck a couple nice upgrades. I added remote WARN knock off winch and knock off SUPPER SWAMPERS a set of metal bead locks. Spent around a 100 on all of it. The kicker is I was in an effort to save a couple dollars and make a recovery ramp myself Because 8 dollars seemed to high for a piece of plastic. Well lets just say the injury to my hand after the wire wheel on my bench grinder pulled me into it I now have over 300.00 in doctor bills and still rising. The best upgrade to a TRX4 is automotive wheel weights around the inside of the rim under the foam. Oh and I think I have watched all of your videos there great thank you.

i dont know why, but this dude's demeanor is pretty entrancing

My family has a TRX-4 Defender and a Tactical Unit and have been running them fairly hard for a few months now with ZERO failures. Even the steering servos are still working! We will replace and/or upgrade parts only as needed. Just because Traxxas offers all of these parts doesn't mean you need to buy them. At least they're available if and when you end up needing them. It seems that a lot of people that rag on Traxxas either can't afford their products or keep buying their products! We also have two Stampedes and a Rustler that have been nothing but a joy to own.

This helped me. Just got the trx4 sport. Thanks

Staying away from the lift. It does look cool but seems counter productive for a crawler and it performs very well as is.

for my sport i bought the traxxas 400 servo, overdrive gear, hobbywing 1080, holms crawler expert 13t , proline beadlocks with hyrax tires with dual foam inserts, bowhouse lcg battery and vanquish bumpers, amazing trx sport. lot of fun

2 years old TRX 4 bronco. all stock servos and everything still running great. Nothing has failed except steering servo. I replaced the motor with a $20 Holmes Hobby trial master sport 550. awesome brushed motors. they have bearings in them and seem to be more powerful. they wake the truck up.

The motor, the ESC. Hobbywing is $250 and you really do need that, especially the trx 6

I just bought the TRX-4 Crawler kit. This is my first rc car. I thought a crawler would be a lot more fun than something meant to go fast and race; just a lot more possibilities for places to drive. I'm looking forward to building it. I never realized how complex and upgradeable rc cars were. I've been doing a lot of research into what the best upgrades will be. Your videos have been very helpful. Overall, it's seems like the TRX-4 is a great starting place in rc cars.

You have definitely "hit the nail on the head".....on my build, I am at around $350 and that is just in the body & cage and extras on the body. I don't even have a rolling rig yet, because I wanted to take my time and modify the body and cage to what I wanted. Now that my body is finished, I will order the trx4 Defender for the chassis only and sell the body to who ever wants it. So I will end up around $900 total for now, but will be adding the SAMIX BRASS eventually and different bumpers....so yes I will be around $1500 when all is done.

I have been playing with RC cars since 1976, and 95% of them all, I am happy running totally stock. If you include removing the bumpers and the rock sliders, and adding black electrical tape to the breather holes in the wheels. I'd say 97% stock for the most part. I used to buy bead lock wheels and always had to have a new set of sticky tires! Now I am pretty happy running the TRX-4 Sport at 97% stock. It has climbed anything and everything that I have ever wanted to climb. So far so good!!

Thought about it but now I have seen your video about these upgrades I will only do the essential stuff like an aluminium motor mount the stainless screws and the servos, maybe not the traxxas ones. That's more than enough for now I think.. thanx, this is helpful 👍🏻

The sound fx coming in on the steering servo was on point

Thank you for saving me from myself! My wallet is grateful! Bad aluminum! 😅

I took off my bumpers, cut the springs, relocated rear shocks, removed shock bump stops and cut the heck out of my body! Like a lot! The only thing I did was bigger steering servo and I’m waiting on wheel spacers. Then I’ll change tires eventually

Just bought my first crawler, trx4 that came with the traxx. Have wanted one for a while and that combo made me pull the trigger. Will be switching it over to run on my flysky noble, already ordered the hobbywing fusion and a new savox 1210. Next will be some nice and wheels and tires then ill hold off and get a bunch of hours driving to see what else may enhance my personal experience with the rig. Will probably get a lighter body soon, as I know eventually ill be chasing the lowest cg I can. Bottom line is these things are a hobby and we spend money on them because they are fun. I doubt my trx4 will ever cost me as much as any of my 6s arrma fleet has. So lo g as the wife never finds out how much my toys cost ill keep buying them 😇

I'm not sure how much I've spent on my TRX. A few things I can list that will probably give you a good idea. I replaced the servo with the PowerHD DW25LV. The micros are still stock, one dead one going dead. I've got spools for front and rear. I've got Proline Shocks. Front and rear aftermarket aluminum bumpers, front with winch. Light kit. Scale details including roof rack. Tracks. 3 sets of wheels but only one set of Proline Flat Irons (so far). I have the spare tire mount which the Bronco didn't come with. I use the batteries I bought for my Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer so no extra cost there. I think that's it, but not 100% sure what I've missed if I have missed anything. It is definitely pretty high up there, but surely not as much as you've listed. When my motor or ESC dies, I'll be buying the HW Axe system. If my plastic axles break or give my problems, I'll be installing complete CNC aluminum axles. I figure currently my TRX has cost me about $1200 about if I were to guess.

2500 I bought a DJI mavic zoom 3 battery and charger smart controller and 1yr warranty.O I forgot to mention it makes me roughly 250.00 a week cash on top of my real job and I love to fly. Great video sir thank you for your time and I'm a new subscriber.

You just guided me into the right path to getting POOR with a cool ass trx4

That grey 2 tone body looks so good.

Here is the progression how I spent the $1545: I painted the body, added crying baby ( see story about cousin's dislocated should at 1 month old in 1972 when we went off roading), added the driver with long shaggy hair and a long beard made out of my own, added a blond bitch sitting next to me (a Labrador), interior, seats, lights, windows, door grips, hinges, tank, windshield wipers, air inlets, stickers ( including the mud flap lady despite my wife's protests), license plates, chains, a hitch ( which I took off because It worsened the departure angle) a bunch of luggage and net, easy switch for on and off AND OF COURSE, ESS dual sound, . I also got the blue tooth connector. Now the body was 10000 pounds and top heavy. Solution: SPEND MORE: to reduce the center of gravity I installed steel wheels and BRASSSSSS. Any brass available I put on. Now, the truck was so heavy it looked like it had a flat and it would constantly slip. Solution: SPEND MORE: So I got very stiff tire inserts and the grippiest tires. Now, while standing, the wheels would not steer because of the massive weight and the sticky tires and I broke the connector: Solution: SPEND MORE on a better connector. STILL, the truck was unwieldy and would not steer. Solution: SPEND MORE: A better servo. The servo cannot just be replace. You need a BSC. IS IT WORKING NOW?? Is it climbing good? YES, like the day I took it out of the box! My crawling buddies are laughing their butts off.... and I can see the comedy in it myself. ;)))))) One of those smart Alecs noted that I do not have a winch....remember all this did not improve the performance AT ALL!!!!!! It is to just make up for the heavy body. LOL

I learned about the traxxas money pit syndrome back with the stampede,once burned, learned the hard lesson again with the redcat rs10, best overall bang for the buck has been team assoc.But hey (: were all fan boys of something, my axials havn't come cheap but they could burst into flames and I"d still be back for more! 😀👍

When I first got into RC trucks I overspent! My Defender is at about $1800! All brass under Springs. Weight added and truck is HEAVY! My Bronco has aluminum parts & is at $700... (All parts from CHINA) Guess which one works the best... That's right! The Bronco! I buy ALL my parts from China now. Same stuff just generic. $14 for a set of NICE aluminum beadlocks! My Bronco is mostly aluminum from China! My shelf queen is at 98% aluminum. I leave shit alone these days!

Quite a few of those upgrades are *not* a waste of money! I'm in the process of building my TRX-4 and the only bad purchase this far has been to buy the 8085 LED kit instead of 8084, 8116 and 8117. Should have saved me $20 and some e-waste. To me a more interesting question is how to *not* spend $2,000 on your crawler...

Great video. I always thought aluminum was stronger whilst making it look cooler. Some of those parts you mentioned I would have liked to upgrade. Not anymore!

you are fast becoming my favorite RC channel, that said, never owned traxxas, but I think I have just pushed an rc4wd Gelande 2 to a 1000 bucks, no drive mods, ita all body,winch,bumpers and accessories .

You hit the nail either on the head ...everyowants to do upgrades and most for traxxas trx 4 are the most expensive ones....brass, transmitter, uder/ power drive , aluminum parts and of corse esc/motor....its a level course to fallow ....great video thanks ....

I did the tire mod you showed, and it seems to help a ton. I also have a winch and metal bumpers for my TRX4 Sport (the rear is custom and kind of crappy). My chassis kit doesn’t have any mods since I’ve only had it for a couple months, but I’m planning on getting metal servo horns for both trucks ASAP since my Sport fell four feet and the teeth on the horn stripped out. I cut the fairlead and stinger off of the Sport’s stock bumper and slapped both of its bumpers on the kit since I couldn’t stand how terrible the bumpers that came with it looked. I have tire and wheel upgrades planned for at least one truck. There is also a Proline C10 I have trimmed up, I just need to buy paint for it. I also have a Proline back half cage I’m going to stick Proline’s new ‘78 K10 on. I’m thinking a two-tone green on the K10. I like to do mods and upgrades to the appearance more than the performance. Tires, wheels, servos, and things like that I’ll upgrade, but I’m not interested in brass and aluminum parts all that much.

the mods i do on my crawlers are tires,better servo,metal gears in trans and axles,metal drive shafts,and esc, that is really all i ever needed....oh and a radio.yeah so it is all just part of the hobby, i like my rc's.

I put the lift kit links on mine with the 90mm and stock servo mount.

I wish they would ditch that old style radio and electronics. my trx6 was anemic with the brushed motor it came with all it would take was a little sticky mud to burn it out. when I put the axe system in it totally changed it. gave it a nice top end speed and all the torque you could ever need. your portal gears will explode before the motor stalls I also changed to a flysky gt5 and that was a great upgrade like who wants to be counting flashing lights in 2020 with the axe system you just tap the power button and its ready to roll with the automatic adjustment of the drag brake

The only crazy thing that I bought for my defender was a 25$ light kit from amazon, for that price I would just expect them to turn on and thats it, no it has high beams, turn signals, flashers, reverse lights and pretty much every function you could ever want for an rc truck. Aside from that i put some scx10.2 bf goodrich ko2 wheels on it and a good servo and its an absolute blast to take on the trails

I feel the best way to build is to figure out what you want to do with it first. I’m building mine for sorrca class 1 competitions, so that dictates what I will purchase, eg. which scale parts will earn me the most free points, which upgrades are absolutely necessary like a winch, 4.19 tires, windshield width bumpers, better servo, etc, etc. So I won’t buy a lot of unnecessary stuff, knowing ahead of time what I want my rig to “accomplish” and how scale/performance oriented I need it to be. But if someone just starts buying stuff randomly with no vision or direction, I imagine it can break the bank real fast.

Just got my first TRX4 Blazer. Bought a ($23) Annimos 25kg servo, 3s battery ($60), going to solder deans male connector ($5). The only other upgrades I intend to get are brass portal covers (F&R), light kit ($60), and some beadlock wheels w/ better tires down the road.

Motor, esc under and overdrive. beadlocs and tires.steering servo and bec. Yeah racing "metal"front axle housing,steering knuckles and c hubs. So pretty much what I do to every rig I own.

My needs are fairly simple except that I do have a Trx-4 TRAXX to which I am adding a Que-T roll cage body for a dune buggy look with the TRAXX. I will get the body soon and do as stock a build with it as possible except I have already added a 25 kg-cm steering servo, Hey OK BEC to power it, replaced the radio with 3 CH Spektrum because the one I got with the truck didn't work and the jerk at the hobby shop wouldn't replace it. I will add some light kits and a light bar. I mostly run on dirt-high mounds on construction sites, a little water and some moderate rock crawling. Not as extreme as some, but I have fun with it, and the build will look awesome to me when completed.

Lucky for me I watch your reviews so I’m not disappointed with and mods. Also for $2500 you could make a sweet crawler course!

Steel bumper for 160USD. It was great at first, but then the sheet metal started cracking. Ended up buying 2 more bumpers (both cheaper), one is billet aluminum and the other is very very thick steel with a more crude but better design than my first one. Still worth it haha.

this is why I buy aftermarket on what I can and then wait for things to break i suppose

Lol yes I did this exactly , 😂 bought Trx-4 and put 500$ into it lol , and it’s amazing and I love it 👍👍

Yeah that's me, I got the Defender, and have replaced the steering servo (Holmes Hobbies BLS HV500v.2), the motor w/Holmes Hobbies Revolver and SW4 esc. I added the light kit and CC BEC. Also two sets of tires and beadlocks, two 3 cell 5200 Mah lipos. Not to mention scale trailing accessories. I am considering getting the bluetooth module or a new Spectrum 5c rugged. I would like the gps but damn, so much money

Got flat lead weights from a tire store works great to get weight on trx4 low and up front cheep mode for 25 cents per lead weight bar

Servo, bec and metal servo horn are the only things I've bought for my sport. Done a few free mods and for my use so far it hasn't needed anything else and goes places none of my other trucks can.

2 years late but I have the 2021 trx4 bronco and I'm pretty happy with it the way it is. I have a large battery for extra drive time but aside from that, it's pretty and functional for what I do with it. No need for extras. I do think the black wheels are a little boring but I know I can change those with other plastics. Adding weight sounds like a good way to start your electronics down a slippery slope to 2k in upgrades

Yr axle kit, integy portals, integy high mass 2.2 wheels, protek 370 servo, hobby wing axe combo( brushless & sensored) RRD110mm suspension, voo doo tire sets and suggested foams, integy servo horn, rear tcable for front, hr brass portal weights, hr brass dif weight, hr front bumper/ servo relocation brass and hr 8mm hub extension, od/ud gears. All worth the money. Personal opinion.

Lol, yeah I did about $200 just in brass on my sport. It sits in my closet. I run Gen8 and Cross. I do have a rig that I spent stupid money on, at this point it is a completely custom scx10ii based rig. And portal's brass and all my traxxas cant touch it

I have installed light kit. Rock,body,roof rack w/light bar. Long arm lift kit. Bumper brush Gaurd with lights. Traxxas servo 400 w/bec. Skid plates. Rear ladder. Radiator, metal decals,Easy switch. Interior. Toe Chain and have more coming. After listing this I can’t believe how quick this truck gets expensive lol. Best of fun with it. All that matters. Next purchase is the traxx kit.

Personally the light kit is fine, it makes the trx4 look so good. But thats about it.

I made my own lomg arm brass links with a drill grinder and tap. Bought the longer cables seperately.

Great content! Thanks

Just upgrading the electronics in mine. No heavy crawling just trailing.

that blazer is gorgeous

Traxxas is NOT a RC Hobby Company... They've sucked a LOT of Fanboys into their Web! Think I'm exaggerating? They KNOW what they're doing! Even IF I could afford one, and it would only be the Sport... There's TONS of aftermarket products from Companies that can't WAIT to get on the TRX-4 Phenomenon... At least their part and electronics are much cheaper!! I LOVE how you're not afraid of Fanboydom!! Keep telling it like it IS! 😎👏👏👏👏 Carmine ✈🚂🚙

Living in Iowa I might have to buy the Traxxas traxx for snow, and the tactical body so it'll look like a tank. I can figure out how to mount a gun and servo too. It won't cost near $2000 either. Great video.

Upgraded with proline wheels and tires, servo arm & full lighting. Purchased a newer body for the clear windows. The rest of my money went on detail parts including a full interior. Before I knew it was well above two grand. Looks terrific but wondering if it was worth it! ?????.

Bought the Defender... servo upgrade, BEC, Tires/Wheels, couple body accessories. I'm interested in seeing how well everything else holds up. May do an overdrive kit for the front axel. Otherwise, I'm going to hit the trails and enjoy it.

It’s hard to know what parts fit the trx4 sometimes and or the better ones to get when you are new to crawlers. I have a few parts I wish there was more/better info on working with the truck 4 like wheels n tires, bumpers and which ones work with or without other parts.

Plus Spectrum Rugged transmitter system ($200), Hobbywing 1080W ESC ($42) and Reedy 16T 5-pole motor ($29). With tax, about $300.

Just getting back in as of a month ago. NO Traxxas. Already 3 grand in. SMDH

All I’ve bought are the cheapest metal beadlocks and brass weights that I could find on AliExpress. I didn’t even buy official batteries or charger, just get a TRX to XT60 or Deans connector and boom, cheaper batteries. Only thing I’d consider buying from Traxxas is overdrive for the front axle and the upgraded micro servos when the stock ones eventually break.

Honestly because of the problems I've had with Traxxas, when I buy replacement parts I buy other brands, like Savoxx servos and Hot Racing aluminum parts. I refuse to give Traxxas and more money for problems they knew about and ship the product out with regardless. That's just me though. My TRX4 Bronco wasn't so bad with the exception of the steering servo, but my first gen. Xmaxx was a complete disappointment, the telemetry system bricked 2 freaking radios and Traxxas support is terrible, because I live in Canada they didn't know if they'd cover it so I'm outa pocket for their crappy updates that killed two radios. Anyway sorry for the rant of the Xmaxx money pit, but the Trx4 platform does have so factory blunders, I just buy from other companies to fix the problems or dress up the truck is all. Great video's, keep'em coming!

Haha My cousin bough the new Bronco from Traxxas because of you and now he has spent over $1000 on upgrades

Brass portal boxes, ssd cheap steel beadlocks with brass lock ring, 1.9x5.4 tsl super swampers, 120mm desert lizard shocks, 12t mortor.

Well said. But, its not just Traxxas. I have an SCX10 II approaching 2k. And I have to laugh when I think of everything Ive bolted on to that thing. Ive almost replaced the entire truck. I shouldve just bought the parts individually and assembled it myself. I bought a cheap and easy rtr for my daughter to trail run .. and have turned it into what should probably be a shelf queen, but isnt. We beat it, regularly. But, its pretty much bulletproof now. Money well spent? Who cares .. its fun .. and, I cant help myself. ;)

What parts website are you showing that had all the different colored brass parts?

I just got mine and the only upgrades I plan are wheels and tires, brass, and a steering servo. I'll upgrade parts as they break. Otherwise I'm not messing with it. My friend has one that is completely stock and he's never done any maintenance. Five years that things been running.

Well so far the only thing I've bought that has made me happy is a used trx4 I haven't done anything to it except play with it

Good reviews! When we gonna see that RC Element Enduro hands on review?

I am struggling to find anything the TRX4 Defender can't drive over in it's stock form! It's ALMOST as capabable as my Capra. All I bought is 'scale accessories' :) the TRX4 is amazing! (only upgrades have been servo and lights)

How much weight in brass can I add onto a trx4 with stock tires and motor before I see some negative result’s?…

Anyone know what is a good replacement for the gear shift servos?

I bought a fully built TRX4 Bronco for 600.00 bucks. The guy ran out of money building it. Thats another way of getting there.

That was the best video that I ever watched from your site I don't have a traxxas crawler but I do have xmaxx and 4x4 slash I have the traxxas portal axles on a custom build with their brass weights I own 9 crawlers but I never buy traxxas crawler even though I'm a big fan your video just told me why I haven't buy one I think a lot of people will not admit to traxxas money scam I think at 500 traxxas can do a better job how come you made this vidio I'm interested to know ?

I purchased some months ago a traxxas rustler vxl 4x4; watched a you tube channel where they did upgrades. Traxxas sent everything to this channel to do upgrades on this vechile. I looked at the upgrades and for the cost I could have bought two rustler vxl 4x4 's. So I know what you mean where you were doing that upgrade list on the channel. It would be nice for traxxas to send me those upgrades; luckily the hobby store said don't get anything until something breaks.

Awesome brother,,missed it

Just bought my first crawler but I already know I will be replacing the servo, ESC and motor. After that just going to see what breaks and what needs to be upgraded. It's just for fun with friends

Nobody forces one to buy those parts. I have 3 trx4 all have upgrades of some sort. My Axials 3 of those upgraded don’t get run much any more. I personally Love the trx4. Been in the hobby decades.

I've spent a total of $1083.00 in upgrades yet that does includes body armor, a top of the line night vision FPV VR package and a new show floor body, Proline light kit, Sound. No Lift Kit, No interior, No Winch. I've included the cost of any parts I purchased by mistake. Total weight 9.6 lbs - back heavy only because of spare tire on the show floor body. So yes, just a touch over $1600.00 total yet I'm getting more for the money than others. The task of grease packing everything lay ahead. I watch RC Review channel to prevent costly mistakes and save money. Mine could possibly defeat Talbot with the right winch. Driver = G.I. Joe $10.00

Just went to the hobby shop yesterday wife got a scx10ii builders kit 189 and a proline bronco body 45 bucks she had already ordered her tires and wheels 55 bucks . I got a TRX 4 sport kit 270 we will both be running hobbywing 1080 with holmes hobbies motors. What truck is better ? Soon we will see we each had the same $300.00 budget to get a rolling crawler with body .

Just upgraded my servo, trx 2255 and added traxxas bec trx 2260,that is it. I did not even bother upgrading my servo horn. My traxxas trx4 sport traxx is good to go.

Us it possible to make lift kit with other brand??

This is the reason I got out of the hobby ,specially the initial cost , not a child’s hobby anymore ,or an affordable adults hobby

Added to TRX 4 Sport 1. Traxxas Inner fender set. 2. E... Portal Covers Front Only. 3 Traxxas to Dean battery Adapter so I can use my existing batteries.my existing Charger Overlander is so good 😊 4. Not brought yet broke after Christmas But am getting Over Drive and looking at e... Lighting kits and roof bar

My only point is spending $1500 on a scale truck does not mean is worth $1500. As well only a few of these upgrades actually improve performance many are just frivolous scale details that actually do nothing for the truck

Great video and info i did buy the trx4 with traxx and it came with wheels etc what im wondering is can i gear up the portal axles or transmission its way to slow !!!! thanks for any help,,,

Well on my bronco i only changed my steering servo wheels and tires and I crashed most people with my driving some people are better than me that I have met but I've only met maybe a dozen people that like to crawl or use rc
