    Awesome video, as always! I'm really starting to dig the smaller scale rigs more and more! I already have a 1/18th scale RocHobby Fire Horse, and I think one of these would be a great crawling partner for it! I really need to get my hands on one of these soon! 🤞

    That Defender you have was epic. I have the Defender M I have the 1:10 scale TRX Bronco already so I picked the Defender. Slowly upgrading it replaced the links & front steering arm. Also some Treal metal beadlocks & super sticky Injora tires. It’s been a blast & can’t wait to upgrade it some more. You definitely represent the RC world well I was at Proline By The Fire & you took the time to speak to & encourage young girls who are out with family Crawling. I definitely saw a far share of girls with there own Crawlers. It’s a great family oriented hobby or Obsession which is most of us we are RC Nuts pretty much. 😂

    The preload clip that is already installed on the right rear shock is to counter torque twist. I had the same, one was installed and three in the box. Cheers

    The (1) pre installed spacer helps to keep the ride height nice and level. It has some torque twist and the spacer helps with that too. I thought I was loosing it as well😂

    The battery issue is pretty easy to fix. Just need to make an adapter that connects to the balance lead of a 2s with the center wire going to the top/center pin. Pretty sure it's used solely as a sense pin because the output voltage where the lights plug in is 6V.

    Awww yeah! I got the Defender and loving it, nice change of perspective and the play area is bigger😁
    I've got a set of 1.0 Black Rhino Armory wheels that i might use for it. I would like to get the Bronco but i will probably wait and see if they expand the lineup. The TRX4M are also cheaper than the SCX24 Bronco equivalent at my LHS here in Australia.

    I like my white Bronco it looks amazing. I did get a Yeah racing skid plate and Traxxas high speed gear set hasn't been installed yet. Still testing the stock gear for now. I put the preload clips on all fours & it looks more higher this way to clear the bumper more goin up hills or obstacles. Looks like a mini high trial now lol.

      I highly recommend it. I got a bunch of parts from Injora coming in for it and it’s a really simple vehicle to make incredible. Also if you do end up getting it I highly highly recommend getting the Adaptive designs flex blades if you enjoy major flex and crawling. I also have a trx4 defender which out of the box is also really capable. Traxxas offers a lot of good vehicles but I definitely recommend this one as a start for you.

    On the topic of double AA batteries. Rechargeable batteries are only 1.2v compared to 1.5v so small performance drop and shorter run time and less trasmiting distance (performance) just depends how important it is to the user

    This was awesome to see! I am currently waiting for my local shop to get a black Bronco in stock (hopefully in the next week or so).
    I was curious to the foam though. What is the benefit of having the foam in the tires. And if I were to drive through snow or a puddle, would the foam not just soak it all up?

    Since I cannot afford the real Bronco, I may have to get one of these! Unfortunately the crawling scene in eastern NC is pretty slim, no events that I know of, and there is only one track that I know of within an hours distance that only holds 1/24 scale crawling competitions. I currently have two crawlers, a Element Trailwalker and a Associated CR12. And I just get them out once in awhile and do some bashing with them.

      You sure the battery is charged? The motor cuts when the low voltage cutoff is reached but the steering usually still works. Otherwise you'll have to troubleshoot. Do you have another ESC/receiver you could try?
