if i cant get the full sized one i might as well get this one lol
Saaame. 😆
One won't spill transmission fluid lol.
Awesome 🤗
why are r/c cars so expensive these days?? is there a shortage on parts/components ??
Nice video, nice RC and pretty woman 👍👍
I love her videos. I think it’s just really fun to watch her. Do stuff on RCS and that we were able to drive her trucks at the Albany tracks.
You lost me at $529
Get a job
@@cruzinthruspace I have a great career 😎 union elevator mechanic. Just won't pay 529 for a slash... Ever...
@dustyw It’s on sale right now for $499. I challenge you to find a SCT brushless with decent parts for under $300. If you have a current slash, it’s about $200-325 to convert over depending on which model and if you buy the tires. An HCG with good components is the cheapest route, just need the LCG nerf bars, Raptor R body, chassis, battery holder and bumpers. The LCG needs the bulkheads, transmission pieces, driveshaft cover and drag link from the HCG, plus the chassis and battery holder. The diffs, suspension and electronics all comes over. Receiver box is the only wild card, this uses the LCG box but the others might work with adapters or mods.
@@keithc40 hell even a ARRMA 1/10 SENTON 4X4 V3 3S BLX Brushless Short Course Truck RTR is only 329
@@dustyw yeah that’s kinda my point… a decent RC with any kind of true scale or pro scale mods will be $329 plus mods. In the end you still got a $500+ RC.
I have one of these in the black color. It's one of my favorite trucks. I recommend the center diff and replace those crappy shocks with the GTR's.
The black one looks so sick!
I have few cars myself, but really looking at this one or the Slash ultimate. So many cars, such hard decisions.
I've been waiting for this truck to come out in Australia looks awesome 👌 but got sick of waiting so just dropped money on the Arrma Mojave 6s exb lol
Love your vids btw ❤
It flips that quick because I think
1. Its too fast.
2. The road surface is rocky rough terrain, the tyres get stuck on the rocks. So as it turns. The swing sideways motion due to the force created by the speed and weight of the speed and RC weight itself.
3. It's probably the height of the RC stance. As opposed to an Rc with more lower standing and wider body and cambered wheels base. It won't flip as easy as it has a lower centre of gravity.
You can go straight on it full speed. Without flipping. But it has to be a slow speed for turning if you're running it on rough terrain if you want to avoid the flipping.
On a smooth surface that rc will slide across if the turns are made on full speed.
Other than that. It is a nice rc.
I apologize, but I unfair to keep us captive by watching your long sponsor preview. I just want to see your always comprehensive product reports.
I love you I love you love RC it's amazing to see a woman enjoying it so much ❤❤❤
I would jump all over that if they made one in a gen2 Tundra body.
Love watching you you’re absolutely beautiful I’m a big fan.
It's cool to see a girl into RC 😊 I've only known or known of a few girls into rc, one at a highly competitive level. The few girls i know or have known of are seem really cool
Can you share the location where you drove your X-maxx ultimate for the first time
I would like to go there.
they should be free as traxxas makes tons on their traxxas specifc batteries that become useless if you let the battery drain. even a traxxas charger doesnt recognize its own offspring
This is gonna be my fpv car. I have one, just trying to figure out little things
Amazing 🤩 nice rig 👍💪🛻 but to fast for handling, I have bought the F150 Raptor from traction hobby 1:8 really scale and so much functional and amazing lights works with 2S , 3S and 4S batteries the color is blue too 😊
Can you pls du more trx-4 defender 1/10 I love them 😊
You seem like a cool girl but your vids are a bit boring, bring on the haters😅😅
It's heart pounding to have that kind of power and speed yet we gotta cool the engines.
By order of Tom Scholz.
He is my Gandalf and without him I would be living without hope as Aragorn once did.
I do not require a Palantir to know what he's up to.
Cool presentation, thank you…
Some of these RC vehicles have some really good flexible plastic if not steel . There’s a plastic epoxy if it breaks if someone doesn’t know . I m guessing most into the hobby know about the plastic fox stuff 😂. Everythjng can be fixed if there is parts available . They should switch over to nylon gears and not plastic for those that use the brittle stuff . I haven’t bought one in years but have been into them since the 70 s when I was a kid and it just kept going . I don’t know what’s good now yet so checking out some channels . The drones are pretty fun and there is or was a drocon spacekey for $30 on Amazon down from $80 and a deerc d60 . Makes sure ya get the d60 , it’s on sale too and worthwhile do some good fun imho for a good price . If you like it spend 10x as much on a dji . The thing to keep in mind about drones is to go slow and low until the user is better acquainted then turn it up to top speed . Everyone loses them when they go out of range so they don’t go far unless a person pays . Great backyard or front yard fliers imo . So what brand has decent RC bashers ? Thanks
That hair style has to go already. 😂
Aré you Kevin Talbot sister 😊😊😊
I had the slash 2wd given to me and the body is thicker then normal body as a longer chassis and body i want to build a rally car and those tires would look good what is the wheel base of that truck if u could please.....keep up great work and have a wonderful day.
Was hoping to see the scx6 upload video lol
How is the servo holding up?
How can you afford those sick cars
Does it really go 60 mph
I want a shirt that says the RC girl on it with her logo
Great truck. Low center of gravity for high speed. Would be nice if traxxas included the lights for that price. Just wondering why you dont fly planes any more. Thanks from oregon.
Hey! I do have a micro draco vid in the works. They are just harder to film solo at the moment. I'm also on the coast so it's windy like every day
@@RCGirl I would gladly do your filming for you RC girl
Nice but pricy.🤷♂️
🤩🤩👍👍🥳🥳
Nice review I just got this truck but have to admit I’m a little disappointed after owning a few other rc trucks this one feels a bit like a toy grade rc
And over $500 , it really looks like maybe a $300. RC
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩❤❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💋
I might have to buy one,thanks for the review, great job!
Nice work!
beautiful truck and awesome jumps and rip about, wish they would put interiors in these rc's though, 😀👍👍👍👍
nope
Very cool truck, only things I’d, 4s lipo, upgrade the servo with a quicker one, and put some thick grease in the diffs.. it’ll be less wheel spinning
Good suggestions!
Oregon Kicker Hmmmm. Crawler? Ripper? E-flite Trojan?
Struggle is real!!!
Nice! I was so tempted to get this but went with the 2wd fox body version. Seeing this makes me want the 4wd but I’m too deep into trail/crawling right now 😆
It’s on sale right now for $499. If you have a current slash, it’s about $200-325 to convert over depending on which model and if you buy the tires.

Looks pretty good for a Ford😉 But over 500 for a 3S RC is pretty steep even with a licensed body.
How cool it is to watch this girl drive and make such a nice review ?? !!!! Love the place actually !!! great video. A new fan here from Costa Rica !! I just bought one of these a few minutes ago on Fox version, I can wait to have it ! Thanks for this great review !!!
Huge miss not including the iconic Raptor marker lights!
Does look like a cool rig tho.
I have been searching at the Traxxas site for the trx4 defender, and they have been sold out for a few weeks. Have you heard of a new version coming out due to the truck's age? I haven't come across any information, therefore I am asking around.
I haven't heard anything, however they tend to keep things pretty hush hush. I also have not seen them discontinue a TRX4 version yet so I'd guess more are coming soon
TY i was just hoping for a newer model lol before i buy one
That's a nice one. Fast.
Just chill with that thing. Control it properly. Smooth. Use the purpose of the speed control in it. In the past the RCs i played with didn't have speed control so they were one speed forward and backward. And that was immediate fast.
Your videos are amazing 🎉 well done 👍 That truck looks like a great buy and handles great.
Does it tailgate...😂
yeah for sure
I like mine and I don’t care about some of the decals not being applied. I also have the blue one.
raptor on 3s is fun. Add a fiesta 3s and is a too fun race and bash . charlie c
About time to see a post from you!!!! Lol
Nice review 👍🏽👍🏽
Wow, Thanks.
That's a nice truck. Where have you been? We haven't gotten anything but shorts from you in a while.
i knoww. I'm behind on all the things. been moving and also looking for places to live in WA so haven't had a ton of time for longer vids. BUT... these are coming: Creality & Bamboo labs 3D printer vids, Traxxas Maxx Slash & Fiesta Rally, SCX6, Micro Draco.... and I think I'm probably missing a few others. LOL
Why do some of these come with the fender decals applied and some not? Mine didn't, had to apply the decals myself.
I did hear that about some. Not sure!!
60+ mph you put on the video picture, but you didn't speed test it? how fast is it?
I know! I need a speedometer....
RC Girl--the best option I can recommend for your Raptor R is to drop the VXL-4S ESC and 2400kv motor combo into the truck. It REALLY wakes it up. I never even ran it on the 3S system. I bought it and went straight to 4S.
Thanks for the advice! 🤘🏼
It's plenty fast on 3S.
You don’t have to use traxxas ESCs 😂 be part of the rc community branch out a lil😂
Probably just needs a good fan and heat sink , 3s is plenty but if you go to 2400 kv you have gear little higher for the same speed or 4s , I don’t like to add weight with higher voltage if it’s not needed
I’m moving my mom, found original slash body , I bought the first 2wd slash 2008 . I slash was advanced fun and cheap . Earlier times we only had tamiya and race kits , the way I drove “ bashing “ wasn’t really a thing. . People were amazed. 50 mph truck flying all over place . Brushless was super expensive
incrivel
I love my black one!
Yeah the black one looks sick
Looks like a potential choice in the future
It's a great truck you will love it.
So are gas rc cars not used much anymore?
There are still some nitro enthusiasts, and still also nitro racing classes. But not a lot of companies make them anymore
@@RCGirl Oh ok, your content is making me want one lol. I just bought a dji drone, but I think the trucks would be funner. Thanks for all the post!
Sweet!!
which ramps are you using?
Got these on Amazon. They are landwave ramps that interlock. Love them!! amzn.to/49dqjJB
@RCGirl Thank you so much. I have some similar but quite a bit smaller, and those look like a perfect height 🤘🔥🔥🤘
@@shadowviper957 yeah you can even stack these up if you get a separate square base to make it even higher
RC Girl returning to her Traxxas routes and more professional than ever. They certainly do set a standard in certain departments but you always deliver. Love this channel. Keep having fun.
Very nice review, it’s nice to see how the Traxxas F-150 runs! I am a big Traxxas fan, hobbiest and collector
