    The body seems to really be a 1985 Ford Bronco body given the lines, but the uniform rectangle stacked headlights are more Chevy esq. if someone would make a 3D printed 1985 Bronco grill I think it would look like a good representation of a 1985 Bronco

    Absolutely love your reviews! You are totally honest and very in depth! Your fanboy comment made me laugh because it's SO true in every hobby! You will always upset someone when you do a true honest review and something isn't so great. I have a TRX-4 and have been watching your upgrades and other videos on them. I'm glad that even though it's an "older rig" design you still keep it current with videos and info! Keep up the great work. I'm looking forward to seeing what this Cross RC truck turns out like. May be a decent rig to get my kids into the hobby if it's not crazy expensive!

    Just received a normal TRX4 Defender that I ordered 3 months ago. Even though the vehicle is what, 3 years old (?), I still haven’t seen anything that has toppled it. Is Traxxas overpriced in some areas? Yes, but the TRX4 is still the best performing and the best value IMO.

      @Bushwackerinpa 3 года назад +3

      Agreed TRX-4 is best trail truck that can crawl amazing for the price.
      and lets face it Vanquish is just bling and prestige.
      10.3 is good but not better than TRX-4 good.
      Redcat is cheaper and well built cheaper....
      , maybe the new verision fixxed the cheapness

Got the 10.2 after the 10.3 came out because I wanted something without all the bells and whistles like the TRX4. Not too impressed with Redcat.

    Francis, nice review - it’ll be interesting to see how it holds up over time. I recall the transmission issues that you (and me and everyone else...) had with the Cross Demon which was disappointing since there was much ti like about that kit. About 2 months ago Cross came out with a new trans (which I believe is the same one in the EMO) and it fits the Demon with no mods and corrects the sloppiness and breakage - so if there are others out there with a broke down Demon sitting on a shelf, it’s about a $40 fix.

      @@RCReviewChannel Well, if someone wants to run Hyrax tires and their style beadlocks they'll have to spend the cash regardless. I outfitted my Capra with 6 led lights for $20. And if you want a winch you'll have to buy that as well.
      .
      Plus you get a licensed body that looks great. Unlicensed rip-off bodies always look weird in some way. And when you go to sell the trx4 it'll have a much better residual value making it the cheaper vehicle to own. Not to mention parts availability, durability, and engineering.

    I’m really interested in this truck I believe I read where they are possibly going to be offering an overdrive for the transmission to overdrive the front wheels or I’m sure someone will come up with portal gears that will allow it as well. A little on the fence on the body it does look like a bronco in a blazer had a child but it’s pretty cool. And yeah the Traxxas bodies are nice but man they are pricey

    I really hope CrossRC (or another company) steps up the game enough to have traxxas feel the need to build something else! The trx-4 for the price is still hands down the best all round performer IMO out of the box. Not all traxxas products are my favourite, but I think they have an awesome understanding as to what to engineer next and capitalize in each market niché! If something gets close for the price I feel traxxas will come up with something else to edge every body out again and I can’t wait to see what that is!!!

The Chassis is shared with Yikong 4101, but has different bumper, inner fenders and an incredible light kit. Has Portals, 2-gear transmission, remotely lockable differentials, CVD's all around, all metal transmission. Sells around 400 bucks in Europe, quite the bargain compared to Traxxas and Axial.
