  • Traxxas actually surprised me with this one! The new TRX-4M High Trail Chevy K10 is here, and it's a real winner! It comes fully loaded with taller tires, a lift kit, headlights, and a beautiful plastic hardbody, decked out with scale details! I take it for a test run and give it a full review.

    I took a double take at the thumbnail "Didn't they release this a while ago?" before I realized this was 1/18th.
    This looks awesome, I run the stock gearing on my bronco because crawl one is slooooow and I haven't burned a motor yet.
    I think 1/24th to 1/18th is great for scale builds, because they don't have any performance anyway and you can fit more on the shelves 😆

    • @Mattwiistand
      @Mattwiistand Рік тому +1

      Their performance is scaled down. I run insane lines on a 24 but they are specific lines. I find more spots to crawl with the smaller trucks in my area so my preference is easy.

      Honestly on clean rocks a trx-4m with heavier front wheels is pretty good, but on a forest trail some pinecones can stop it. Great looking and very portable but it's a very different experience to a 1/10th, but so is a SCX6 (probably, I don't have one)

    This little truck was awesome straight out of the box! 1st day, I put steel wheels slightly higher with S5 rubber and soft foam. Added brass wheel weights and brass dif covers. It goes as many places as my $1700 fully upgraded Bronco TXRM! It is a little tippy going sideways, but I'll make it better. Quick fix for light seeping through body is black electric tape placed around headlight buckets. I highly recommend this 1/18! I put it in my bike bag and hit the trails and rocks.

    Holy crap I don’t know if I wanna fix my Scx24 now, just wanna pick up one of these badash lil rigs. Traxxas is really knocking them outta the park with the mini models I’ve been saying for years that they need 1/18 or 1/24 versions of all the vehicles for the people that like small rcs ( literally everybody!!!) I really need a tiny xmaxx in my life and absolutely need a tiny UDR in my collection !

    Love the looks of this body! Nice job Traxxas! Oh and yes I will be getting it and turning it into a low-trail edition!😀
