You should be disappointed though. This wouldn't fly in so many other aspects in life. I know it is reality now but it should be made a bigger deal so they fix it. Imagine in a very simple examople that instead of rc car, your real cars steering went out in the first few times driving. You wouldn't think, "ah its cool, we have to replace the steering on all cars, it's ok" . It turns a lot of people away from the hobby. Not everyone wants to wrench all the time or buy an rc and then spend double in parts to make it work in a few months and they give up. It would grow more if they made them a bit more reliable in rtr form.
@@jackalo626 has anyone actually had one of these fail in the trx4m? Or is the all plastic version just known to fail in 1:10 trucks? I get that it's a known bad servo for bigger trucks but are these confirmed to be garbage in the trx4m?
Well, lots of people were having problems with the shift servos in the Trx4, but not me. I've had my Trx4 Bronco for 4 years and ALL the electronics are original. I run big heavy 2.2 wheels/tires with brass portal weights and the steering servo is still going strong.
Curious that you're "diving deep" when this is public knowledge available on the Traxxass website. Upon release Traxxas is going to have full support of replacement parts and upgrades and based on past releases, there will be plenty of aftermarket support within a very short amount of time. Basic parts like the servo under light play will do just fine, if you're going to take it to the next level then a metal servo of that size will be easy to swap out and plenty of suppliers already carry that size and are less than $20. Wheels and tires, 1/24 AND 1/18 scale trucks share the same size 1.0 wheel which cost $15-$40 for an aluminum upgrade, tires cost the same, come in different sizes, compound and styles. Part of what makes this hobby fun is the personalization and upgrades. Personally I think the hardbody they're offering is a nice step up from a lexan body but it has nothing to do with their clipless system, if you remember that system was introduced with a lexan body not a hardbody. Sure an interior would be nice but then the incredibly reasonable price of $150 would jump considering the extra injection molded part, besides, Traxxas has never offered an interior. If that's a deal breaker, consider how many companies make interiors for the TRX4 there are plenty not to mention the 3D printed ones out there, wait and you should have a decent selection. Axial gave us the SCX24, FMS gave us the FCX24 and there are plenty of other companies that have produced their own versions of the 1/24 which gives you choices based on looks performance and budget. There are also 1/18 scale models to choose from and now Traxxas is giving us another choice. Traxxas changed the game with the TRX4, now they are introducing another vehicle and based on their previous successes, this will be another great rc to their already popular lineup. As people should, do some research before buying and or wait till there is plenty of utube content to help make up your mind. That's my long winded 2 cents anyways.
Subscribed btw. I really enjoyed that you included that extra bit of research at the end. I was chatting with my brother about teaching style the other day. We are both in the art biz. He’s taught bronze casting at the college level and I’ve done some tutoring. We both developed a style of communication that’s geared towards making all the ideas as useful and interesting to the listener as possible since most of the teachers we had growing up didn’t care about doing that and we saw a lot of classmates get bored and quit. You do it right. Completely bs-free. I especially appreciated the comments about which bodies you thought would perform better due to weight biases and approach and departure angles.
I upgraded my TRX4m and upgraded the steering link to the Traxxas aluminum parts. Blew out the 2065t servo within 10 minutes. Upgraded to 2065r and no problems , so far.
The price is very respectable. The only thing I don’t like about the bodies is they don’t have interiors. Note that ABS plastic yellows with age so grays and even blue might not age well. The defender would have made me happier if it came in orange like the 1/10. The only other thing I don’t like about the traxxas defender body is the wheels and fenders are way bigger than scale. Like Icelandic proportions.
I'm actually glad they didn't add an interior. I know a lot of scale guys like them but I don't like how much weight is added up high. Maybe they'll sell an aftermarket option
@@CrawlDaddy43 a lexan tub with selective hard plastic parts would have been fine and idk maybe such a thing could be adapted here. Doesn’t have to be high detail because of the window tint of course
Since when has the scx24 not been waterproof? They were advertised as waterproof, and i have been running them in water for like... since they were released.
So I did some research and it turns out there is a real non Icelandic big wheel version of the 110 that looks almost exactly like that. Saw a 1/64 version in red with the Supreme logo. I want to get one of these RC’s in red now and get someone to make a pair of parody stickers that say SUBPRIME
ty bunches ive pre ordered 1 of each and will have servos on hand but not by teaxxas if they cant give me what it needs im not buying another 1 from them
any RTR servo is junk but traxxas takes junk to another level in all their rigs. literally a $25 amazon servo is leaps and bounds above a traxxas servo. i'm stoked for the M though, picking one up this month along with a regular 4.
Yes but the stock tires are actually really good, if the trx4m has the same tires then they should preform well. You could always get scx24 beadlocks and put the traxxas tires on them.
@@jimbo4203 there you go! I cannot wait to get mine. It's crazy how many people are hating on it when it's not even out yet, maybe they know it will kill the competition? The FMS is good, the scx24 is decent, love my Panda also, but I have a feeling this is an entirely different beast, especially for the price it's crazy, I don't even care that it doesn't have portals.
Replacing the stock servo and battery seem to be par for the course in this hobby so I’m not disappointed
You're correct. I've upgraded the servo on every RTR I have except the Losi mini B, and the JRX2 mini.
Plus it's a full size servo so you can use whatever you have laying around and it'll be plenty strong

Thanks for the feedback. My goal was to offer info that was valuable to potential buyers so I'm glad you got something out of it.
@@CrawlDaddy43 👍😎. Good pacing too.
Now I'm considering getting the Bronco in black...getting one for sure! Subscribed and thanks for your video.
Man I’m totally getting a bronco in black. Almost got my Trx4 2021 bronco in blue and wish I had gotten black 😂
I’ve got one and it works great, my boss got one shortly after and the servo crapped out after about 10 minutes run time…
Whose commentary are you reading?

Now axial has a new 1/18 Capra coming out.But that cost $250
thanks for the review! Looking forward for this one. Suspension looks stiff with that front tire in the air... :)
Subscribed, nice vid 👌 my wife is buying me one for Xmas ❤️
Loving my trx4m
Nice one .......... Best wishes from AR Diecast..............
Mine got pushed back until first weekend of December while originally i was supposed to get it in 2 weekends ago
The servo works well but the shocks are already sticking badly
For the price I'm getting both 🤪
Since when has the scx24 not been waterproof? They were advertised as waterproof, and i have been running them in water for like... since they were released.
The scx24 has never been waterproof… and that’s why there’s a lot of waterproofing videos for them.
I've subscribed I like the defender

Best believe… the stock servo WILL FAIL YOU.
Does the 1/10 trx4 have glued on wheels?
Yes but the stock tires are actually really good, if the trx4m has the same tires then they should preform well. You could always get scx24 beadlocks and put the traxxas tires on them.

Hard pass. If it was a 1/24 scale I'd probably pick one up.
Dude the size difference is so negligible when you see them side by side
