So the Traxxas XL5hv esc has I think 5 modes, you turn it on and don’t let off until you see 5 flashes. That’s crawler mode, enables 100% drag brake, throw a fan on the stock esc and it’s fine
fun fact about cruise if you hit the throttle again the truck will speed up and just let off the truck will return back to your cruise set annnd the trims are for steering and cruise adjustments my brother just bought one after showing him your vids and we played played with it found all the cool features
My suggestion and never fails me when I’m light in the front end on a climb I leave the rear un locked and go super light on the trigger like a faky dig. Also works good geo digging around corners.
You right trim dial can be programmed for a speed change with it. And go through the settings you can change sensitivity like a spektrum for example. There truly nice radios.
@@hellorc7678 No problem I always enjoy watching your videos and you all have created a fun game. I know a lot of different people that do similar things at their local events now.
Treal 10 mm wheel hex. They work perfect gives it just enough stability some weight download would be better as well but I didn't have the money. I did notch my fingers a tiny bit not much just for body rub.
What wheel extensions are you using? I’m really interested in starting this hobby. I live the stance of your truck. I’m like you. Very limited budget. Would you recommend the high country over a trail finder 2?
I run the 10 mm extension it's about perfect. I have the brass ones from treal. I would definitely recommend the high trail over the TF2 only because the TF2 is not very durable and the gears will strip out in the front almost instantly because the tires rubbed the leaf Springs. But they look very scale and it's fine if you never drive it. TRX4 can take a lot of abuse. I have yet to break one. and I have 3 of them.
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 Bronco/Blazer/Defender or TRX4 Sport and Axial Capra 1.9 or Axial SCX10? Thanks in advance.
Let me get back to you on that. I'm not sure exactly which one that is until I look. It's hard to beat traxxas especially if you're new to crawling it's a little better to spend a few extra dollars and get something that will not break hardly ever. But there is a lot of cheaper crawlers that you can put a little money in and have a awesome truck.
Most 4WD crawlers take less abuse and are better for somebody who's into scale and not going to abuse them. They look nice but they're not as tough and they don't perform as well in my opinion.
Well I don't know a lot about that model but it looks nice. But for that price you can get Traxxas or axial but if you want something just a little different it does look good in the photo. I am honestly curious to how it performs I will be watching some reviews. But a TRX4 is hard to beat.
@@ezboyrc553 Thanks for yor feedback. But Absima Sherpa is around $100-150 or more cheaper than Traxxas trx4 Bronco, Blazer, Defender (excluding the trx4 Sport which i am not sure is it up to par with the new Bronco, Blazer, Defender). I just want the best out of the box in that price range, sturdy crawler, no tuning and tinkering in that money/capabilities range. I did some research, supposedly the Absima Sherpa 3.4 4WD performs well, it has almost the similar features and capabilities of the Traxxis trx4 "car" model and "controler" vise (only trx4 Sport have less options and power as i understood). And i dont know what to think of Axial Carpa 1.9. But since it is my first crawler i dont wan buyers regret or spend more money for a feature that is miniscule. All are pretty much scale modes. Since i am from Croatia/Europe i dont have a wide selection to buy. Thanks for your further input in advance.
Dude those are both bad ass I wanna get the k10 1:10 for my little one he’s only 3 but loves any RC car he has a little experience driving monster jam RC trucks The ones you and your wife are using in the video are 1:10 scale or 1:18
Thanks for watching. It's great to get your kids in it at a young age. So they have to spend all there money on RCs instead of drugs when they get older. LOL
@@hellofromsoutheastalaskarc7517 I'm sure they will be pretty cool and you already have trucks that size so it would be a good comparison awesome to see. I do want some lights for my truck so if you have it and like we need to talk somehow message me email.
I've never broken anything on these trucks or on my red cat Gen8. Luckily I've only changed parts that I have wanted to change for upgrades. They are very tough. That's what makes them worth the money my opinion.
Hello, I've been watching your videos, but I just seen that you are located in North Carolina, which is very cool to me lol. Can I ask where in NC are you located??? The reason I'm asking is because I live in Spartanburg SC!!!
@@robertpettit4837 You can always look and see how far it is. there's all kinds of stuff that goes on around here from time to time crawling events and what not.
That's cool, I didn't know RC cars were getting so popular around here. Now over in Europe they are big time into them,especially construction type RC's
10mm They worked perfect. I had to trim the front of the body just a tiny bit by the bumper and I keep my shocks up high when I'm running big tires but I don't have any issues.
@@danielli959 Just the adjustment screw at the top of the shock that makes the Spring stiffer if you tighten it down. When I run smaller tires I loosen them up all the way so the Spring is not that stiff but when I put big tires I crank them down so it raises the truck.
So the Traxxas XL5hv esc has I think 5 modes, you turn it on and don’t let off until you see 5 flashes. That’s crawler mode, enables 100% drag brake, throw a fan on the stock esc and it’s fine
Thanks I learned that after this video.
Sweet crawling! Keep challenging those RCs! I'm bout to throw some super swampers on my K10 for some extreme creek crawling!
So,I won't need to buy anything,everything I need comes in the box?
fun fact about cruise if you hit the throttle again the truck will speed up and just let off the truck will return back to your cruise set annnd the trims are for steering and cruise adjustments my brother just bought one after showing him your vids and we played played with it found all the cool features
Traxxas trx4 sport rocks the new High Trail rocks love both of my RC Crawlers
Great looking rigs brother. Disgusting how people leave their garbage. Pigs.
Nice. Looks like fun day out. But it was super funny when you talked about cheap winch vs good one.
I only talked about my cheap winch and my other cheap winch at home that sucks.
I just picked up same Lovin it
Dude that slide down the rocks looks awesome on the brakes
My suggestion and never fails me when I’m light in the front end on a climb I leave the rear un locked and go super light on the trigger like a faky dig. Also works good geo digging around corners.
i recomend the betu 35kg servo, i found it on amazon n did a small video on the install. Cheers yall
Thanks I will check that out.
Wish I lived a little closer because I’d definitely be up for a few rounds of the challenge. I’ll still enjoy watching anyway!

Very cool your wife enjoys this with you. As for the used gloves, real fishermen don’t use gloves.
Great crawling our there guys. Loved the bungee winch . I want one now! 😫
Thanks for the shout too. Looking forward to the fruit loop challenge lol 😆

Sweet rigs! Nice playground you got there 👌
That was excellent stuff !!!
right on thanks for sharing brother
what did you go with for the wheel extensions for the truck...haven't watched previous episodes yet.
Treal 10 mm wheel hex. They work perfect gives it just enough stability some weight download would be better as well but I didn't have the money. I did notch my fingers a tiny bit not much just for body rub.
@@ezboyrc553 Do ya think 12mm offset is to much. I found some 12mm brass ones.
@@trevorb3521 Mine are 10 mm and it's pushing its limits I believe. But you may be OK. I did trim my front finder just a little bit for a body rub.
Beautiful Traxxas... they really are amazing.
Thanks buddy
Yah I’d like to know also.

TRX4 can take a lot of abuse. I have yet to break one. and I have 3 of them.
Thank you for the honest answer. I think I’m leaning toward the Trx-4. I want the k10 body but I want it to be durable
I’ll probably be hitting you up for tips and advice. Hope that’s cool with you
Yes. I do hate seeing that mess. Fishing at a spot and leaving trash like that makes cringe. Really nice RC trucks. Smooth motions
Thanks We used to go there and just clean up the mess before we start but the mess has gotten more and more lately.
Its asians they use the gloves and fish for their restaurants

I am a serious CHEVY guy. I reaaaaaally want one of these K5 blazer rcs. What do you recommend to order with this kit?
TRX4 Blazer is really good right out the box. Put the tires that you like on it
Hello from southeast alaska hey did you see the trx4m 1/18 scale crawler coming out. $149.95. good price
Yeah I heard they were coming. that's pretty cool and a great price because I'm sure it will be a decent product coming from them.
@@ezboyrc553 yeah might get one. Will be my first Traxxas. LOL

Yes they are the best i bough 3 of these lol
how wide are the spacers you put?

@@ezboyrc553 o ok i only have 5mm lol bc dont wanna trim body. btw wdym by u run your shocks high? im new to this stuff.

@@danielli959 5 mm should be pretty good. If you're running the stock wheels still. other wheels and tires may differ on stance.
Big like
On the fruit loop challenge. Put a certain amount of loops in. For everyone that drops is a penalty. Just saying. They don't do that
will you give me a shout out plese
