    Remove the lift kit, keep the portal and put 4.45" tall 1.9 Pitbull Rockbeast on nice aluminium beadlock! The 1972 K5 Blazer body is gorgeous!!!! Great review again Matt! Keep up the good work!

    Make the Ultimate Mall crawler!
    All blinged out, light, sound, cheap add-ons that serve very little practical purpose. Extra points if you add the Autozone stick on hood scoop people love so much. Clear the windows, interior with Yankee candle bags in the back and Starbucks cups in the cup holders.
    Maybe a figure with a northface vest and UGG boots? And the live commentary is perfect!

    I have enjoyed your videos in general for the last few years. I like the layout of this one for new trucks or cars, first impression, cinematic driving, AND the commentary real-time driving. I appreciate the honest review, the good, the bad, and the indifferent. As well as a little opinion based guidance for those considering the rig as another one in their fleet, or as a new to the hobby purchaser. Thanks for all your hard work and content.

    I really appreciate the overlay so we can hear the truck and not just the music. That was a fantastic editing choice; not bad music either. I would prefer ONLY commentary driving, but I am admittedly eccentric. I cant watch videos where the music replaces the truck noises and is obnoxious.. Thank you for the review. I went an got one and could not be happier with it.

    I know the truck is old news. But I just got mine used slightly damaged but only driven 10 feet. Lol someone gave a five-year-old the keys. In the house at Christmas. Lol so I bought it secondhand and I instantly went to your RUclips page to see what you had to say about this purchase I just made. I think it has great potential as a trail truck. And I expect smiles and happiness from it. But one thing I am very disappointed about is the advertised long travel suspension? Being shortened 10 mm by hard plastic.(bump stop.) 😢 I would call that false advertisement. Bump are not hard plastic.🤪 but a little work removing the bump stops. Moving the pan hard bar and now my truck is using the full 110 mm shocks. Thank you, Traxxas.

    I like the commentary with the test drive. It makes the drive more authentic. You provide honest comments when you do this. It reminds me a little of what West Desert Wheeler does, but more about the model and less about the crawling technique. The Blazer is a great truck and good that Traxxas changed up the wheelbase for more variety in driving experience and the way truck looks.

  • @mikerainey3847
    @mikerainey3847 Год назад +1

    That's such a sexy looking rig, I don't think I could change the look much. A little weight to help the center of gravity. A better servo. Metal wheels, retro of course. You are spot on regarding the windows, those stickers are horrific.
    Really like the half music half commentary and your taste in tunes is fantastic. I dig that Deep Purple vibe you put down with that drive. Always a pleasure to view.
    Thanks for what you do!

    Love running the trucks in the woods. We have miles of trails with obstacles, bridges, and scale rock formations to conquer near my house and it's my after work favorite park to visit when I can' take my full size jeep out wheeling. Running an RC crawler will teach you about picking better lines for full size driving.

    Love the body. The high trail, less so. What would I like to see you do? I'd say, slightly lower, slightly smaller tires. Not to the extent you did on the Ford, but more of a period correct "lifted" Blazer, but less "cartoonish monster truck" look. Other than the excessive height, I REALLY like the looks of this one. Probably my favorite TRX4 body style yet!

    This definitely needs to be a sema bro truck. Run the new 2.2/ 4.19 Rc4wd tires and some big chrome wheels
