Got mine last year in red. It will out climb just about anything, except the Traxxas 6X6.
Wicked review Brett! Informative & interesting, thanks for taking the time & doing a great job. Still really liking the Hoboa DC1 better but taking a hard look at this as well for the next store bought rig
As always stupendous review from Brett........this TRX4 its a very nice build from Traxxas.
Thank you sir 4 another Amazing review i purchased a trx4 sport in desert tan yesterday from my local hobby shop CEN CAL HOBBIES in modesto i appreciate the hard work and advice that you provide 💯‼
Congrats on the truck Sean! The TRX4 Sport is a great truck. If you ever need help, let me know!
-Brett
Good review. Thanks Brett!
I like the simplicity of it now
Another great review Brett. Good Job 🤘👍
Another excellent review. Nice RC!
I have the TRX4 Sport and I love it I just got new tires and I have brass I’m on the front ends to make it a bit heavier climbs like a beast!
Awesome to hear!
-Brett
Very nicely done, great review!
I absolutely love my sport and I abuse mine and haven't broken a single part, I even ran a 3930kv brushless in it for a while but I out the stick set up back in for the low speed crawling. I run 3s only and on crawler mode can pop wheelies in forward and reverse lol just go full speed and slam it in reverse and do a long reverse wheelie. Oh and before anyone complains I'm breaking it I know how to drive I have a granite on a 5200kv on 3s on stock plastic inputs and haven't stripped anything so i have trottle control. The thing with the trx4 is it's built like a tank it can handle abuse I let everyone drive it and abuse it and I took all my diffs and transmission apart today to check it and put new grease and they were perfect literally like I never drove it it's crazy what this drivetrain can handle the only plastic gear on the thing is the spur.
Great review man 😃 thanks Brett, I appreciate it 👌🏻👍🏻
Great review
😊👍Cool! Great review and showcase, I have mine on order with you guy's and I will be featuring it on my channel when it gets here!

Nice Review!!👍
Fantastic unboxing brother, great running video like it alot. 😁🤘👌✋👊
AMain Hobbies your welcome my friend
very nice indeed
Best for the buck direct from the box.
I need one to take on vacation trips !!
You must be really tiny to fit in that
As horizon hobbies was looking to buy tower hobbies and well,Axial Racing. I sold my favorite jeep 2000 xj rtr, and decided since Traxxas had started lowering some of the rtr price tags, that I was going to do a brand name swap. Back to Traxxas. I love the original AR44 Axles!! And have no use for the newer AR44 one piece Axles!!! I always look at the performance side of scale trail and rock crawling first! So I am thinking this new Sport could possibly replace my jeep 2000 xj rtr, out on the serious rock lines. Or at least I hope this can be made to hold its own against the Deuce rtr. I will find out!!! And thanks for sharing this with us!!! ;)
Nice beand new Traxxas TRX 4 Sport RTR Crawler MT
gogo!
Thank you for turning your spoken audio up over that annoying background music.. nice review.. i was curious on the difference since i wanted to buy one.. but now im still debating ... Hobao DC-1 or Trx-4...
AMain is the best thanks for the video
In a sport model single transmission, im using the Holmes 550 12t trailmaster, what size spur and pinion should I used for speed and torque, mainly like bashing. Thank you
I pre-ordered mine almost a month ago. First thing that's gonna go is that cheap transmitter. It has much less adjustments than what other manufacturers give you with their RTRs.
AMain Hobbies Probably the first things I'm going to change are the stock portal covers for brass ones and change the tires to Proline Hyrax.
Yup the first thing I did was switch the transmitter and receiver and I use one off of the ecx barrage it has way more adjustments, I feel like in a crawler have a steering rate adjustment is critical.
@@SnarkyRC lmao we think alike my second mod was some incision beadlocks with proline hyrax tires hahaha best upgrade I've done to it besides servo.
@@stpbasss3773 Haha hell yeah dude
@@SnarkyRC Spend that Money Spend it hard yea BABY
Ok y'all getting the trx4????
the approach angle for the trx4 bronco is 63* this is only 58* correct me if i am wrong but the higher the number the better the approach angle?
This will be my new rc car
Ok why
That’s 80s/early 90s Toyota maroon paint scheme would look perfect on that.
Could this handle a 2s brushless system? Love the look of the scale trucks but would love to do some light bashing and possibly some crawling. Im more of a go fast kind of guy but love the look of the crawlers
It can handle 6s. 2s is nothing.
Tf
I have a couple of Traxxas Slash trucks 1/10th scale. Are the battery connections the same on the slash trucks and the trx4 and sport, so i can use the same batteries ?
Yes they are Brian, as long as you have the iD connectors. All the TRX4 models use the Traxxas iD connector.
-Brett
Are the standard trx4 rear end available for the sport? I would like a locker for my rear
I just got this
Rc?
So I didn't hear him say any difference between the sport and the regular model
Is the speed (not crawling) faster than walking speed? I enjoy trail hiking with my son and need off-road speed as well as the torque.
On flat ground the truck is faster than a walking pace and should keep up no problem.
-Brett
Thank you Brett! I just bought the kit version and see it comes with a 39-tooth spur and a 17-T pinion; so went ahead and bought a few more pinions to give me a little more control on that “walking pace”! Cheers!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The suspension looks kind of stiff. I saw all these crawler videos with their trucks articulating like crazy.
Will those bumpers fit with any TRX 4 body kit? Also can you counterbalance to get a lower center of gravity to prevent rollover?
The bumpers will fit on any TRX4, but depending on the body you use, you may need to do some body trimming to fit with the bumpers, but it's hard to say. For counterbalancing, do you mean the body or the vehicle? It is not recommended to add any weight to the body, but adding weight to the vehicle is highly recommended, usually onto the axles at the lowest point; this will greatly improve stability. Here are some weights for example: www.amainhobbies.com/traxxas-trx4-parts/c11342?s=brass
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies excellent. Cheers Brett! 😁👍🏻
Like watching a slug move across the glass
yes they are slow. but what do you want for 365.00 dollars Then 200 in up grades 60 bucks for the two speed transmission and the labor time. Mmmmm Just put a Sport Body on a Regular TRA-4
1 servos not going to make a difference is small what do they weigh about 1/4 of a ounce
You should get the kit
I wish traxxas made a Colorado ZR2 body for the trx.
How much does it cost?
Would you prefer the TRX-4 Sport over the 2021 Bronco TRX-4 performance wise? (Besides the single speed and permanently locked differentials.)
Yeah, performance wise the Sport is the best TRX4 platform to have and start with. It's body is very lightweight for lower center of gravity and you don't have the extra shifting servos and mechanical parts adding weight and creating more potential failure points. The sport also uses the more common 12.3" (313mm) wheelbase which tons of crawler bodies are made for. The Bronco uses a stretched 12.8" chassis which is adjustable down to 12.3" with parts added separately I believe, so not big deal.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies Well, I will definitely be buying the TRX-4 Sport! Thanks Brett
@@gamingwithdakotaandmore4546 Happy to help!
-Brett
could you do more driving clips pls
"our" everything does he work for Traxxas?
I don’t have any version TRX, for some reason I just can’t talk myself into trail/crawlers. Can’t do it. My UDR is about as close as I’ll ever get
RC MaxximumBash Once you crawl you'll love it. It's relaxing and building is just as much fun.
I used to be the same way. Once I have a crawler a chance it changed everything! They are now my favorite. Give it a try.
I was only into "go fast" vehicles for years but, ever since I picked up a crawler everything changed. Now my short course trucks and buggies just collect dust.
That’s what I hear, maybe someday I’ll get one, traxxas keeps producing these must haves, I’m always broke. When I do have some cash they drop an XMaxx or UDR, new Revo. Ect. I’d still grab the revo 2.0 before I could twist my arm for a crawler. Maybe I’ll buy a kit or a used one
RC MaxximumBash The Revo is okay. I like the Kraton more.
what's the main difference between the sport and the regular trx4 ?
I was considering getting the sport version
The sport has no two speed transmission or locking differentials
Can you put this body on a defender RTR?
No, the Defender has a longer wheelbase so the wheel wells won't line up. For the Defender, you want to find bodies with a 324mm wheelbase; this TRX4 Sport is only 312mm.
-Brett
Q.. is it the same wheel base...?
Simon Miller It’s a shorter wheel base
I want the tires and bumpers for my bronco

@@AMain_Hobbies Why do I have to pay for AMain Stickers? Mmmmmmm Strange
Esc up front 2075x
3 differences? 100 dollars less? I just ordered one.
did you add the cost to up grade
is this worth it in the long run? Also, how long will the electronics last before I have to replace them, and how's the run time?
-Yes. Keep it clean and dry and it will last.
-Years, except the steering servo will probably die within 1 year.
-Depends on the capacity of battery, but anywhere from 1-2 hours.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies ok, thanks for the info. I will be using a Traxxas 2923X 3000mAh NiMH 7-C Flat 8.4V Battery.
@@howtodoit1779 Awh! Ok, with that you may experience reduced runtimes from my examples which were based on LiPo battery use. But the NiMH battery will do the job just fine. A great upgrade down the road might be a LiPo though, for the runtime and because they are lighter than NiMH. And with how high the battery is located in the vehicle, less weight will lower your CG's and improve side hilling performance. Have fun!
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies I haven't bought it yet though. Still saving up. Which battery and charger would you recommend for this?
@@howtodoit1779 Traxxas batteries and chargers if your ESC is equipped with the iD connector. Are you more interested in having the largest capacity battery for long runtimes, or are you more interested in having a slim and small battery that is lightweight to maximize performance?
This little battery is excellent for performance, but not so much for performance: www.amainhobbies.com/traxxas-3s-power-cell-25c-lipo-battery-w-id-traxxas-connector-11.1v-1400mah-tra2823x/p402513
This large battery has great runtime, but it's big and heavy: www.amainhobbies.com/traxxas-3s-power-cell-25c-lipo-battery-w-id-traxxas-connector-11.1v-5000mah-tra2872x/p402519
When I was crawling a lot, I would take two of the smaller batteries and swap them when one died, and they'd last about an hour'ish. That big 5000mAh battery I linked to above should easily last 2+ hours. Hope this helps, and I'm not making it worse for you. Best to be 100% prepared before you spend any money. Let me know what you think.
-Brett
Would like to see the day where body mounts with clips completely went away in RC. Particularly for crawlers. Either do a Velcro system like the Redcat gen 7 pro did or shoot use a clip system like the Traxxas Xmaxx does. There are options.
lol. Yes the sustainability of the hobby likes in body clips remaining a thing. ;) You might be the 1st person I've ever ran into who likes body clips. I guess to each their own. But with everything in the hobby going more scale, I think you'll see less & less use of them.
I have a Gen 7 pro, the Velcro isn't really that great honestly.
Velcro system sucks. I really like the Xmaxx style body lock system.
In all honesty I kinda like body clips. Yes I lose them alllllll the time but it gives me a reason to pop into my local hobby shop
Some of the accessory bodies for the TRX4 (the very expensive complete ones) have a magnet system. Sounds easy enough to adapt to any body before you drill it out.
You get so much more for the money with the TRX4. This truck should be $300 or less.
they are is you want to take about 6-8 hours to put a kit together yourself
you can modify the normal trx 4 to use the same body as the sport and in that case other than the weight difference the normal version is better in every way and all the extra weight is very low down making it even more stable. And it being a 1/10 RC crawler the aproach and departure angles barely matter as the motor is more than powerful enough to push it up a hill steeper than the bumpers.
So would you say the new trx4 2021 bronco is better or a new trx4 sport
Out of the box, crawling performance may be slightly better from the Sport because it's lighter weight and has a lower center of gravity. But if you were to modify both trucks with some upgrades, they'd probably be near equal.
-Brett
Thank you
Where do you from?
PröGër Gämïng Merica where be you at
Are they in stock yet!!??
AMain Hobbies thank you!!
Dev&D RC they're coming out next week in in the Salt Lake area anyway
dude any one knows what is the background music is?
great video
Also wondering the same thing.
Anyone else notice he called the servo an esc
What's the weight difference between this model and Defender body?
Holy, between the Defender and the Sport, that's a 664g/23.4oz weight difference.
Geez. But Defender has greatest look.
@@labkeeper and Gee and like a Pound and 1/2 heaver.
What’s the release date of the sport?
Fake News thank you. I’ve heard it was the 1st, then the 2nd and the 10th. I can’t wait.
You can’t really confirm the release date, July 10th might be Fake News! Lol
AMain Hobbies , i was just making a joke because of the name of the guy who said the 10th... Fake News 🙂👍🏻
I can’t wait to get one. I called my local shop and they said they have no idea of when they release. That same shop is trying to sell them for $399 though.
Mr. Saturday Night Special $399?? That's price gouging at it's finest.
How fast does the sport go
The speed? It's slow, maybe 10mph. It's not designed to go fast. It's designed to go slow smoothly over rough terrain.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies Thank you, I think I have the perfect spot to use it
Well, a diff cover sure isn’t a locker
Is it fully waterproof?
Yes. But it is not recommended to submerge the vehicle, but it is ok to get it wet.
-Brett
AMain Hobbies Thank you
nice please what is the background music name?
Is that a new ESC part number 2075x 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do not buy that. Use the Hobbywing 1080 for the TRX 4
if you upgrade the diff and the two speed it would almost seem better with the approach angle, and if you go with two speed upgrade how do you change it if its not on your transmitter?
The 2-Speed requires different mechanical parts in the transmission alone with another servo, which is not included with the sport. It would be best to buy a TRX4 model that includes the 2-Speed out of the box, rather than buy all the parts separately to upgrade the Sport.
-Brett
so IMO, they took all the cool features out to save an OUNCE of weight. when all my friends have been replacing plastic parts with metal , for lower (heavier) center of gravity. the demo footage, was in slow motion to make the RC look smooth and non jerky. and they never showed the the RC at top speed. but I have the option of reverting back to the awesome trx , if I want to pay more than it would cost to buy the original. SALES PITCH FAIL !
If you really are complaining that Traxxas made a trail truck for new crawlers, then contact Traxxas directly. They probably won't care about a single persons opinion, and while you are online emailing them you should also find an online spelling class.
@@rileyrohe8322 OMG how cute! you appointed yourself as traxxas guardian angle defender of evil nay Sayers. and you brought your spelling book with you in case someone makes a typo . mommy must be so proud of her little spelling Bee champ...
Let me hurt your feelings because you can't use proper grammer hahahahaha
@@jynx-vu2zc I don’t think you understand the reason for this truck. Traxxas made this truck for the beginners or for the people who want the lightest trx4 available. This truck is also supposed to be traxxas’ budget truck which it is over 100 bucks cheaper.
At the time of this recording it’s evident you didn’t seem to know what a locker actually is. There are open diffs, locked diffs (lunchbox) and locking diffs snd LSD’s.
Where is it!!! Your the last ones to get it!!
AMain Hobbies thx bro! I'm just anxiously waiting! 😁
So in other words they just took a really good truck and made it cheap more like a toy
Just cheaper with less parts so less cost.
Hi, I just bought new TRX4 sport. Do you guys suggest break in before use it? if so should i do it dry or wet? can you explain a bit
You don't need to break it in, just drive it. Maybe check out this video to avoid common mistakes with r/c: ruclips.net/video/62J8y0nJqIY/видео.html
-Brett
I can’t hear you with that music playing!
Do you get a battery with it
Justin B Reedy no
yes you get two of them as of Jan 1 2020
I’ve been in RC for over 30 years. Someone please explain to me how going very slow over rocks is so much fun ? I truly don’t get it. I will get one eventually just to have it. But is that all it is ? Just a cool looking RC ?
It's the challenge of finding terrain that you think you can or can't pass though, and then trying it. The trucks are surprisingly capable so you'll find yourself driving on the edge of what's possible often. Plus there are no limits or boundaries, everything is game on. It's relatively easy to do with new people, so it's been popular with families to do together.
-Brett
I started off with a crawler. It’s somewhat satisfying driving it around as a real truck.
I do have a Kraton and rock rey for speeding around when the need for speed arises.
It's for high IQ users. One of which, you are not.
I'm a couple years late to the game, but crawlers like the TRX4 are also great trucks for just hitting some hiking trails and turning your walk into a game. You can drive your truck on the trail, to the side of the trail while you're walking on it, and even go off trail and into the woods or whatever to see what terrain you can conquer. The TRX4 with its portals is a really fantastic performer with its portal axles for going off trail.
looks like another slash with a truck body, go axail is better
Lorne Hutton dude put the crack pipe down your frickn high! this looks nothing like a slash!!!! Axial has been in the crawler game a lot longer the trx4 is just as good if not better than an axial and I have both and cannot complain about either!!!!
💪👍👍👍👍
2:00 you called a servo a avc
Lol great marketing angle cheaper body....less features I know call it lightweight! Other than the bumbers just looks like a cheaper trx4 to me the manual crank windows version
That's because it is cheaper
I like Traxxas, but as for a crawler, that suspension is terribly stiff, and theres at least 2 trucks that are far better at cheaper. The scx10, and the cr12 neither ate traxxas of course, but $ for performance, and the face the $ is less with better performance, sadly I have to step away from traxxas.
Love the video, fairly informative.
People have compared the trx4 sport to other popular rock crawlers and believe it or not it beats everything out there while stock
@@Dochorahan That is all I care about
So you took away everything that made it cool so you can sell people Builder kits great idea
Man you should stop talking about the weight reduction from the sub-micro servos and locking diffs like it was planned.. All of those is what made the Premium TRX4 more exciting and that minimum weight was beneficial. The EXCESSIVE weight came from the original Land Rover and Tactical unit bodies which were too heavy... The Bronco version its the best sweet spot while the Sport is a stripped down version to make it affordable, That was the main point… MONEY! not to be "Performance Oriented"... Replace the Land Rover body on the Premium TRX4 and it will walk all over the Sport Model.
show us some video please daddy please show us video
wrong
it is NOT fully "ready to run out the box" when you need to buy additional items!
It literally says what you need on the box, a ready to run is considered a vehicle that can function with all parts, and batteries are not considered parts, but rather have there own category. The batteries only cost 30 for the NimH, and at most 5 for the double A
Turn off that 40's Music, turn off all music
Turn off that Music
Doesn’t really sound like 40’s music to me
I did not see anything my 2 wheel drive Big Foot would not do, so what was the point of this video ???????????????????????????????
This man does not work at Traxxas, case in point he is saying "our" a lot in his description of this rig.
Weirdest music ever..
traxxas is a stupid bastard shop, one gear in crawler WHAT?
I have both the Traxxas TRX Land Rover Defender and the Sport. I don't run them as I found RC cars to be extremely boring. They look cool on my shelf though.
RC Crawlers are slow going vehicles. If you need a little excitement, get yourself a proper performance-oriented rc car.
