- Опубліковано 1 лис 2022
- We got our hands on the Traxxas TRX-4m found here: and this tiny scale and trail crawler may be the best $150 you’ll ever spend in RC! Greg has both the Ford Bronco and Land Rover Defender to check out and these look amazing right out of the box. The RC Cars are ready to run and only require 4 AA batteries to get going. Everything else is included and easy for anyone of any skill level to get into. Greg will go a bit deeper into detail as he took some of the rig apart to show you what’s inside. You’ll of course see some epic action footage too! This tiny radio control crawler may be one of the biggest releases in 2022!

Please keep your approach, I love having the technical stuff overview and then see it run. A great balance between information and entertaiment. Some channel are too technical other just don't care. Keep it up
Thanks so much for the feedback! I’ve been working on fine tuning things, cutting fluff, but still keeping the info to help out the wide experience range of the viewers.
Thanks for tearing these RCs down with an in depth overlook it really makes the difference. I look forward to seeing the inerts on your channel. Just a great sequence you put together. Keep up the good work 👍
Happy to hear it helps!
Man after looking at the TRX4M I REALLY don’t understand other companies like Axial and why they don’t follow how Traxxas does it. Look at the TRX4M and it already has Tons of Traxxas made accessories and upgrade parts for it. Even a nice cheap $29 trailer. The SCX24 defined an entire market and Axial just sat there doing nada. They left all the money on the table for everyone with a 3d printer to scoop up. Anyway the TRX4M looks great and of course so do all the hop ups you can buy for it. Gonna have to go with the Blue Bronco I think. Nice overview.
I’ll stick to my fcx24’s. They blow these things out the water!! Out of all the bodies traxxas makes the come out with a lame top heavy defender & a soccer mom bronco🤷🏼♂️. I’ll have one one day but not running out & buying one anytime soon!
So true. I hate paying an arm and a leg for someone’s half assed 3D printed parts…. But when axial refuses to make any parts whatsoever that’s what we get
Axial has metal gears and bearings out the box, trx4m does not but Both have upgrades available right from the start so
@@INSIDIOUS-ONE I feel that, I’m definitely more interested in the performance than anything…. Maybe even using some of their accessories for other trucks… that trailer looks like it could be fun to set up custom gates for and the optional tires might be pretty good too. I’ll probably wait until we get some lighter performance based bodies before I pick up a trx4m to replace my scx/fcx though
@@INSIDIOUS-ONE you talk sh*t about it, then say you'll get one? 😆
I haven’t been rc’ing much lately but I am so proud to see your channel thrive Greg 👍🏼👍🏼 great job buddy! I remember getting my yearly paper subscription of RCDriver 😀
✌🏼😎👍🏼
Was so excited to see this video. Thinking of getting 2 of these and build a track in my basement. Winter is here. Thank you for a awesome video!
Looks beautiful and performed really well for a hard body. Great review! Definitely picking up both the defender and bronco on release day.
Awesome video and congrats for being (probably) the first to do a proper review on it! I'm just looking forward to get my hands on one green defender like that!!
Thanks! The green Defender is 🔥
Been waiting for this one! Can’t wait to get mine
I was waiting for a hands on look 👍 this looks awesome! Great video
Hy my best friend piles ❤️👌ua-cam.com/channels/wEvaA3qRO7QqeafeA1tWFQ.html Thanks you friend 😘
Beautiful driving footage, It looks incredable with my VR goggles!
Perfect length for an unboxing. Great one. Love these trucks, hope to get one.
Great review. These little rigs looks awsome. I’m not sure I’ll get one, but you’ve made me want to get the bigger scale version for the yard this winter. Some off road snow exploring could get me threw our long months! 🇨🇦☃️
Can't wait to see what bodies come out for these, gonna have to get another shelf 🤣 I think these aren't that bad keep your expectations realistic and your good. Can't wait to get one.
Hi Sir thanks for sharing this GREAT truck with us 🇬🇧🇺🇲🕊️✌🏼👍🏼
Tks for the review. Was waiting for this. I pre ordered the bronco in blue a few weeks ago. I can't wait .
Awesome! Enjoy it when you get it!
You give us the best reviews…. Thanks
Purple Lego RC 💜
Thank you for running footage! I’m not sure how many people buy RCs just to look at them but most of these day 1 videos don’t have running footage
Thank you for making straight to the point videos. I HATE it when ppl ramble on making a 8min vid into a 20min one. I made sure to like this vid, keep it up!
Looks like great fun in a small package!
Great vids😎🏁
I just had an opportunity to test one out with the trailer on it. I absolutely love it. Will be purchasing.
Great video, thanks so much for going into detail. I would like to ask you a few questions.....
1. Is the transmission fairly quick and easy to swap?
2. Will both bodies fit on each chassis?
3. Are the plugs for the lighting proprietary?
4. Do you think Little Guy Racing Trail Kings would fit....maybe if the shocks are repositioned?
5. Do you think injora brass wheel rings would fit the stock wheels or would the traxxas ones need to be used?
Thanks in advance for any info you share!
These Look awesome well done Traxxas going to pick one these up when they arrive in uk.. great review as always 🏅👍🤩🚴
Thank you my friend!!
Looks like a really fun rock crawler! I'll have to pick one up at one point down the line
Awesome! Pre-ordered a green Defender, can't wait to pick it up. You got yours really early 👍
The best color Defender! Enjoy!
Been waiting for this! I have to get one!
I’m getting this trx4m bronco red for my birthday, this is the perfect review for me😊
Love that they left the tires unglued, saved buying new wheels!
Really nice that they offer all of their own upgrades
I just got the Trx4m as my first RC car and installed the light kit before first use. Went outside in some tallish grass with some small branches at a tree line at dusk. Wow I am so glad I tried this one as my first. This thing is great without any upgrades. I did buy the low gear ratio mod and will install it after getting a good feel for how it is stock. Need to replace the wheels or add spacers as I have noticed (rarely) the issue others talk about with the tires rubbing a piece of the axel assembly which sometimes causes the tires to stop movement all together until you adjust, but it has happened so rarely to me that I don't mind and am actually looking forward to solving that issue with some minor modifications! I think I got the bug...
Gotta love a Trx4m, we have loads of them!! ❤❤
I like the idea of trail mode. This seems like a good RC car even for general use if you’re not into rock crawling. Cuz it’s all dirt and crappy roads where I live.
I'm glad the tires aren't glued, got some brass ringed treals ready to go
Cool looking mini crawlers
Solid little rig. Great review as always👍 Curious to see how those other gear sets will perform with the stock electronics.
Same, gotta get my hands on them.
The defender looks great
🔵🔵🔵👍👍👍😀😀😀🔵🔵🔵
Those tiny things are gonna be huge this Christmas!
I completely agree
super video thanks
Super cool might have to get one , to try out I am not one of those that only sticks with one brand but I do buy alot of AX .
I’ve ordered a orange Trx4m defender after watching your review of the very nice looking axial scx24 power wagon but decided to get the traxxas
I can't wait til the 11th to pick mine up!
Traxxas is killing me! Lol. I need these now. Definitely will be adding a bearing kit though.
I saw that Fast Eddy Bearings already has standard and ceramic kits available.
So excited to get one of these awesome little trucks! I'm hoping they release a 1979 Bronco body for this, that would really seal the deal for me.
That would be cool!
K10 M. Please
I don’t own any rc but watch a lot of videos and have thought about buying into the hobby. These trucks look fun driving on rocks and stuff
I think I'm going to have to get one.
I need to pickup one of these.
Great presentation. I hoped on a 1 by 24. But fine. I don't want to add another Bronco to my collection. Maybe they'll do a G-Wagon or a Blazer, then I'm in.
New battery connector? How do you charge that battery on a Traxxas live charger?
That green on the Defender is 🔥!
Absolutely!!
Nice video, thanks!
What's the speed on flat track?
Not looking for any fast car but I'd like my kids to enjoy a walk following their car
Only gets me more excited for when mine comes in
i preordered the green defender at my LHS. I have a bronco scx24 and was curious about the defender more haha
Excited to snag a bronco
Hi, Gracias for the review.
Where is the place did you record the video?
Thanks and happy holidays.
looks like it needs some softer tires, i wonder if the trail king m/t would look good on the bronco
Nice breakdown. Not every channel takes the effort to break the cars down like you do. I'm getting the Defender, now to decide what color!
Hy my friend ua-cam.com/channels/wEvaA3qRO7QqeafeA1tWFQ.htmlThanks you my friend ❤️
Just get one of each. lol Or just buy all the bodies.
Thanks! I spend a lot of time breaking them down. Sometimes I even go back for a second or third round of breakdowns if I think it will help people see the parts a little better. So happy to hear viewers like it!
@@jamesplymire5342 That’s like $55 per body. No thanks. That’s not anywhere near worth it to me
Nice vid first in the trx4m
I'll give Traxxas an A+ for not gluing the tires it allows us to install them to our metal beadlocks 🤜🏼🤛🏼... Great vid as always Greg
Kinda a bonus lol. Thanks!!
@@rcdriver Definitely a bonus 🤣 Im trying to see the glass half full HA HA 👍🏼
Can’t wait for Friday (payday) to get the bronco!!
Was just looking at the bigger bronco and wishing it wasn't so expensive. This looks like a good compromise
How much do the tires rub the body? Does the wheels articulate further without the body? You said the tires are not glued so did you glue them or not?
How much of these TRX4M can you fit on the TRX6 Ultimate Hauler bed?
Hey, does the remote contain a button about switching to 2nd gear or 1st gear?
Axial did the new Capra 1/18 hi nylon plastic and oil dampened shocks. There both great
Really tempted to get one of these but they cost around 230usd in my country which feels a little steep.
Great vid - thanks!! Do you think the tires need to be glued to the wheels or is the setup good like it is in the box?
If you’re running the rig bone stock out of the box it appears to be fine and no glue necessary. My kids have been putting additional run time in on them. Which should break down the tires, but they’re still holding the bead.
I changed my mind already, i like the Bronco 😅🤠🤟
Which is the best rock crawler/Water resistant out of the FTX Outback v2 Bronco and the HPI Maverick Scout??
So weird - I'm not used to Traxxas producing something I'd consider a good value for the money... Those look fantastic!
Definitely more bang for you buck here.
Absolutely 😎
How fast is it? Would you recommend I get this or the 4x4 1/16 scale slash. Thanks
I have a trx4 and im still considering buying one of these
great review, i beleive what you say and thats hard to acheive !! too many fakers now saying what the brands want! thanks! subbed
I’ve been reviewing RC’s professionally before UA-cam even though existed. I was a RC magazine editor prior. I learned very early that the reader/viewer comes first! I tend to take a positive approach to RC because it’s my passion, but I do talk about the downsides too, usually with a fix to help those interested. Thanks for the sub!
@@rcdriver ah that makes sense.. we appreciate it .
Hi I’m thinking about getting one of these for my birthday, how often do they break ?
Awesome review I like to have seen a side-by-side comparison to an axial for size
I’ll post a photo in the community tab for you tomorrow.
@@rcdriver thank you yeah I've just watched a couple of reviews on it today and just knowing has done like the side by side comparison for size I was under the impression that the Traxxas was a bigger platform
This is a steal for $150!
5:39, WOW!!!
Yesss i am gonna get one fot Sure
But will it handle as well as the FMS or new Axial?
Well worth it.. Just did a video on them
Quick question. When will this be available on Amazon?
whats better the broco or the defender
Molto belle!
So in your opinion, which truck handled better, were they tipsy?
What is the running time with those batteries?
How fast does it go?
Charged in how many time ? 0-100% ?
Pretty amazing stuff for $150,the Lego model of the defenders are $240 and you know don’t move(unless you push them)!
My trx4m can’t run on slow speed what’s the problem with that no traction ?
Anyone know if the chevy bodies will be added to the lineup?
Would you be able to mount a action cam on the top. Cool lil rig
Are these only available in the us as the links you've got on dont show up as the trucks you have there they show completely different ones here in the uk lol
Bronco is beast..
Hi Greg, how does it compare to the FMS FCX24? Both are the same price, curious if you'd recommend one over the other. Thanks in advance!
Thats a good question. Traxxas will have better LHS support. The FCX is more open wheel which helps with capability. I like the Traxxas factory electronics better. FCX does have portal clearance. Traxxas plastic quality is nice. I think I’d want to see how fast the aftermarket option support kicks in for Traxxas first.
I can’t decide which one I want, I guess I’m buying both, now choosing a colour
Color choice was not an easy task for me either!
Are you going to compare this to the new Axial Capria 1/18 that you tested the other day? That would be interesting!
Wish I could get one of these...
I cant wait to get one and i can understand why theyd want to keep the price down but no metal gears and no bearings is pretty lame. Especially no bearings. Lets not pretend that bushings are ok. Obviously not a deal breaker but come on how much more would they really have to charge to use bearings?
I'm curious to see this side by side with the Axial utb18
Yes!!
Anyone have any thoughts on these Traxxas crawlers vs Axial RC Truck 1/24 SCX24 2019 Jeep Wrangler vs FMS 1:18 Toyota FJ Cruiser Official RTR? I'm looking for an affordable RC crawler and having looked at about the $150 price range. I can't decide on which to get!
Get the trx4m
