I got in trouble when I was down at Pawleys island when i drove on the dunes with my capra i picked up from you guys while i was down there work/playing at the beginning of 22🤷♂️😇🤫
Just found your channel, good review here of the high trail. Now, some constructive criticism, not trying to be rude but maybe ease up on the faux zoom in and out effect while you are talking. This is usually done with 2 cameras and used to emphasize a solid point from time to time and I see people over-doing this all the time now by cropping in with editing and I can't help but find it distracting when done to excess. Thank you and please keep making these videos, I am subscribing and liking right now.
No trucks direct from the dealer had portal axles, so what's your point? Portal axles are aftermarket add-ons. It's a scale-lifted Cheyenne which many people built them up just like this in the 90s and early 2000s. I know cause I still had mine with recently deleted portals to straight axles.
DO NOT GET IT IN SALT WATER!!!!!!. Sand is fine just clean up afterwards with fresh water and high pressure air hose. Before you go to beach spray th vehicle with Pledge dust remover this way the sand will come off easier with air and water.
My Cheyenne back in high school had portal axles and shaved-down mud-slinging tractor tires. Without portals, it would be hard to control in the mud bog pits. It would torque roll like crazy causing you to get stuck. This TRX4 is modeled after the 90s and early 2000s mud bog trucks. I love it. Needs super swamper tires to finish the scale look. Great review.
One thing to mention. I just bought one and I was curious as to if you NEED to stop when shifting from low to high. I couldn’t find an answer so I called TRAXXAS. The gentlemen I spoke with stated that you NEED to come to a complete stop when shifting the transmission. He said obviously it COULD be done in motion but it’s not recommended.
Man lmao 😂😂 I brought my first rc truck from you guys 😂😂😂 It was the two wheel vxl stampede 😂😂😂 Mytle Beach I was working up there 4 years ago ! I see atuo zone ! Man I have 7 rc s now lmao 😂👍 You guys had the snap on van ! Lmao I'm in Florida !
I ordered the black k10 high trail just waiting for it to come in but after watching videos forgot to get the battery for it ordered the charger but no battery but that's fine after I get it then I will order the parts I need for it
Hi. Would you reccomend Absima Crawler Sherpa CR3.4 4WD RTR? I am new to crawlers, did some research and i am wandering if Absima Sherpa is nearly as good as Traxxas TRX4 and Axial Capra 1.9 or Axial SCX10? Thanks in advance.
The first 2 weeks on market is hobby shop only sales. No internet sales until Sept 16 so next Friday. This is something special Traxxas does sometimes to try and help hobby shops. We have yours ready to ship as soon as we can!
Is it just me or do the windows and roof of the cab look to small in comparison to the rest of the truck? Maybe it's just the larger tires but something looks off
Hi. Love the video. We just purchased one in the Upstate at Mason’s in Spartanburg. I do have a question. How were you temporarily attaching the GoPro to the back windshield of the TRX4? We haven’t been able to find anything that is as stable as yours. Thanks in advance!
Got a couple my RC buddies that have bought this rig and like the looks and typical functionality of the TRX4 platform but complain because it doesn’t crawl good! It’s like duh! The “Hightrail” term means it sits high! HCG ….it’s more of a trail rig than a crawler! Sure it’ll crawl some but will roll easier than most typical crawlers.
@@bobking7347 Well I get schooled on "scale" all the time so i'm not sure how it will stay scale looking TBH. I guess it's always a give and take but personally I would go for performance over scale so i'd cut the wheel wells until the tires stopped scraping lol
The Carolina Squat has been outlawed and justly it's stupid looking, dangerous and hard on the drivetrain. So maybe now they should go Doggy Style and slam the front-end while jacking up the rear end 😂😂😂
It's not recommended that you shift from low to high gear while moving bring vehicle to a stop and definitely don't shift from high to low while moving you will break something I Look To The Future for a transfer that you can shift while moving but not yet
lot of tire rub maybe they should have thought about putting the 1.9 tires on there I would like that better anyway tires are easier to find and a whole lot more to choose from and little cheaper... I have three TRX fours and the max I think I'm going to pass on this one though... maybe put a lift kit under my blazer and find a decent looking replacement body for it that Blazer body was a real let down I was expecting more realistic detail like the Bronco
the difference in the bodies is the cost really. I think the 2021 bronco comes in around $220. Tons of plastic, assembly, and detail. This new body I think was meant more for beating on it and keeping top weight down.
If you want a rig with a high COG and doesn't crawl as well as it can then ya, great rig. Most folks chose looks over performance. It is a cool rig either way.
It's a TRX4 It crawls better than my bronco and my defender. The body is paper thin and super light compared to the hard bodies. It's nowhere near as tippy as you would think it is. It goes everywhere my Enduro Ecto & Vanquish VS4-10 Phoenix Portal goes. Axial Gladiator doesn't even come close. All I did is add brass to my portal cases, low CG battery tray, or use the front battery tray and put spring limiters in the shocks. It's definitely a scale-class performer that's better than most. You obviously haven't driven one. Don't judge a book by its cover.
I cant watch this, the camera jumping in and out constantly is very annoying to watch. Why do people think they need dumb ass gimmicks in their videos to tell the viewer something is beyond me.
@@Mikey1962 Now looking at it I see what you are saying! You are the second person mentioning this and I will improve it. I'm always learning and need criticism to make videos better. Thanks for the reply and don't give up on us yet!
If that body is as cheap looking as the blazer I don't want one I bought the blazer yesterday and compared to my Bronco it just looks horrible it's not Chrome for the trim it's decals the Bronco has hard plastic and the body appears to be a lot thinner plastic the front tires rub just driving it across the carpet going to have to trim the body at the front of the front tires compared to the Bronco it looks really cheap definitely going to be replacing that ugly body they had a good idea if they just put the detail in like they did the Bronco... I can't believe the price on this thing is going to be well over $600 why not buy a Bronco and just put a lift kit under it
well this body really isn't very special. It does have chrome looking trim that are stickers so I'd call the body average. The price does come in at $550. The lift kit sold separately is $175. The 2021 Ford Bronco comes in at $550 as well so an additional lift kit with a cheaper type body is not a bad deal. This is the best crawler I have drove right out of the box. Body still rubs tires though
If you would of paid $560 out of your own pocket, you wouldn't of driven into the water like that. This was item sent to you by the manufacturer. I have respect for my RC. Johnnyrum
Ok so first we do pay for our vehicles. Sorry but 1k subs doesn't get us free RC's. We also put every RC we test in the water because it's a test. Thanks for watching!
Just got one, took it out to a local lake with walking trails and this thing was a load of fun in the mud, rocks, roots and stumps along the trail.
Beach RC Rocks , always love the Decals sent with my orders ! Beach Nation !
Right on! Thanks !!
Great drone shots! 👏 Love it 😍
Thanks love!! I'm really digging the drone even though I can't fly very well.
Ordered mine today in black, can’t wait to get it.
I have a sport, bronco & defender already so excited to get this too!
You'll love it!
Excellent video Lucas well done !
Thanks NNRC!!!
I got in trouble when I was down at Pawleys island when i drove on the dunes with my capra i picked up from you guys while i was down there work/playing at the beginning of 22🤷♂️😇🤫
quick in and out. we didn't spend much time doing it
so glad Brennan is in a video one of my good friends, love these videos keep up the good work.
Glad you like them! Brennan is awesome! Thanks for commenting and watching!!!
I love it! Thanks for the video! I’m so sad that they didn’t ship to my country 😢 watching this mellow me a bit
Happy to give you something to watch!!
then you need to move😉
Hands down best review.....especially about the controller...Thanks
Wow crawling on those orange tubes made me wish I was deaf! Anyhow great video 🤣
😅Yea I would have usually added music there but I wanted to show an unedited crawl because I knew plenty of music was coming. Thanks for watching!!

I really appreciate the feedback and will work on that!!! Thanks for the sub too!
I got one back in November and I started modifying mine and went from the 2.2’s to the 1.9’s and I think they look more realistic to the scale
Great feedback! Thanks for watching and the comment!
i dont like these oversize tires. Big is often better but i like it more realistic. The more realistic the shell is the more important it gets for me.
another great review!!!!!! thanks Lucas
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Those old SKOOL square body’s didn’t have portal axles on them back in the day. But it’s a very pretty truck and a nice review. Thanks
Thanks for the info and for watching
No trucks direct from the dealer had portal axles, so what's your point? Portal axles are aftermarket add-ons. It's a scale-lifted Cheyenne which many people built them up just like this in the 90s and early 2000s. I know cause

That trailer is cool, very realistic
thank you!
So when you go to the beach, what kind of care should be taken to protect the truck?
DO NOT GET IT IN SALT WATER!!!!!!. Sand is fine just clean up afterwards with fresh water and high pressure air hose. Before you go to beach spray th vehicle with Pledge dust remover this way the sand will come off easier with air and water.

1" lift is wild scale wise. Imagine a 1/1 scale with a 10" lift, sheesh.
cool vid, man i still need to open my k10 lol
Best crawler out of the box IMO! Thanks for watching!
what camera are you using on the C10?
Sorry I have been off youtube for a while. It was a GoPro 9. light weight.
Thanks
@@BeachRC
Awesome!😎👍
Thanks 👍
Great video but just one thing I’m curious about, what is that horrible scratch sound when you guys drove it around
That wast the body rubbing the tires.
One thing to mention. I just bought one and I was curious as to if you NEED to stop when shifting from low to high. I couldn’t find an answer so I called TRAXXAS. The gentlemen I spoke with stated that you NEED to come to a complete stop when shifting the transmission. He said obviously it COULD be done in motion but it’s not recommended.
I think it is best to change gears when rolling slow under less torque. They can be changed while remaining still or on the fly though.
Man lmao 😂😂 I brought my first rc truck from you guys 😂😂😂 It was the two wheel vxl stampede 😂😂😂 Mytle Beach I was working up there 4 years ago ! I see atuo zone ! Man I have 7 rc s now lmao 😂👍 You guys had the snap on van ! Lmao I'm in Florida !
That's awesome! I remember the Snap On Xmaxx!
Haha I've bought stuff from you web site before ..new sub for sure..👍🙏
Thanks for the sub, your business, and watching!!!
I ordered the black k10 high trail just waiting for it to come in but after watching videos forgot to get the battery for it ordered the charger but no battery but that's fine after I get it then I will order the parts I need for it
The Cheyenne or the Ranger , what looks better ? Whats the general opinion guys ?
It’s just a TRX4 with long travel suspension right?
Yes. The internals are the same. Difference is the raised suspension and bigger tires. Still the best out-of-box crawler on the market IMO.
Hi.
Would you reccomend Absima Crawler Sherpa CR3.4 4WD RTR?
I am new to crawlers, did some research and i am wandering if Absima Sherpa is nearly as good as Traxxas TRX4 and Axial Capra 1.9 or Axial SCX10?
Thanks in advance.
I would have to say no. I would recommend Traxxas.
When will the one i ordered on 8-31-22 ship out ?
The first 2 weeks on market is hobby shop only sales. No internet sales until Sept 16 so next Friday. This is something special Traxxas does sometimes to try and help hobby shops. We have yours ready to ship as soon as we can!
@@BeachRC thank you so much for the info..just ready to send it lol
Where your shop located
Myrtle Beach South Carolina
Nice videos
Glad you like them!
Big like
Thanks!
Is it just me or do the windows and roof of the cab look to small in comparison to the rest of the truck? Maybe it's just the larger tires but something looks off
well the bed is flat with no depth to it so that may throw the look off a bit
It’s that nobody is used to seeing regular cab long bed pickups hardly at all anymore.
Ok I thought it was just me also
Very nice 👍🙂👌
Thanks a lot 😊
Hi. Love the video. We just purchased one in the Upstate at Mason’s in Spartanburg. I do have a question. How were you temporarily attaching the GoPro to the back windshield of the TRX4? We haven’t been able to find anything that is as stable as yours. Thanks in advance!
just double sided sticky tape and a gopro mount. Pretty easy! It will pop off eventually so just reapply
That’s fast being stock ? Motor
has some get up and go!
Good looking rigs 👍👋🌍📢🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
yes they are!
cool video, you can already buy the part. ? I can't find it in Germany, or is it only for the USA? 😃
We have like every traxxas part known to man!
If you have a chance, you can try our new helical gear
Got a couple my RC buddies that have bought this rig and like the looks and typical functionality of the TRX4 platform but complain because it doesn’t crawl good!

Very true! Nice comment! I appreciate the feed back.
Niceee 😊
They need to make 1/5th scale for that truck period
Only thing I don't like are how the tyres rub on the body
Agree! I would have trimmed the body if we kept playing with it!!
@@BeachRC Awesome man, if I get it ill likely do the same thing, but how could one trim it enough to not mess up the look?
@@bobking7347 Well I get schooled on "scale" all the time so i'm not sure how it will stay scale looking TBH. I guess it's always a give and take but personally I would go for performance over scale so i'd cut the wheel wells until the tires stopped scraping lol
@@BeachRC 😂 I get you man, same tho
I do like the looks of the vehicle all the features the vehicle has but I agree I don't like the body rub
I would have trimmed the wheel wells if I kept it even though it is scale.
I do like the look of the body I've actually had a full scale of this truck and there is body rub issues
I just feel that they had a full scale vehicle they should have addressed those issues
Because I've had a full scale vehicle and body rubbish has been an issue
A slightly bigger lift or different body would have alleviated these problems
If you plan on selling it let me know!!
Oh man sold it long ago bud! Actually all the video cars sell fast because they have a video that comes with them. People tend to like them.
@BeachRC darn. Trying to get my into it but she refuses to buy a new one lol
Traxxas knocked this one out of the park tbh
I agree! Thanks for watching!!
The Carolina Squat has been outlawed and justly it's stupid looking, dangerous and hard on the drivetrain. So maybe now they should go Doggy Style and slam the front-end while jacking up the rear end 😂😂😂
agree!
That was the 70s and 80s. lol Skinny tires up front, wide in the rear and traction bars.
It's not recommended that you shift from low to high gear while moving bring vehicle to a stop and definitely don't shift from high to low while moving you will break something I Look To The Future for a transfer that you can shift while moving but not yet

"It does everything".... ....except turn a corner without tipping over... Great looking truck, but way too top-heavy and unstable.
Fair enough! Thanks for watching!
This would look so much better with 1.9's and 80 or 90mm shocks
agree
I put 1.9 on mine and it looks silly. They are too small. But something between 2.2 and 1.9 would look the best.
I have 2.2 wheels with 127mm tires I found on Amazon and it looks just fine in my opinion.
Top trx4 😅
Sure is!
If you want a rig with a high COG and doesn't crawl as well as it can then ya, great rig. Most folks chose looks over performance. It is a cool rig either way.

Big high China made sad
Made in Taiwan
Tyres are too big and the suspension is too high. It's set up like a mud truck.
Yea sort of
PLEASE TAKE OFF that awful music! It ruins your video.
