The tires on the Bronco are better then on the Defender...what sold me on the TRX4M was the slow crawl gearset. The TRX4M crawls better then the Furitek...
Awesome brother! I cannot wait to see what you do with this platform. I got mine today and I am impressed! I can't wait to get started modding and PSYCHO'ing out my rig! Great video man!
Having 3 SCX24 models, all heavily upgraded and modded, the frame rails are about the only stock part left on both my Gladiator and Bronco and also now at almost quadruple their stock weight now while the Ax24 has several upgrades. I've been looking into these TRX4m and they just drew me in when I first heard about/saw them, particularly the Defender, and I think this video is going to make me get one before too long lol. The scale and capability out the box is just insane...I would imagine there will be a learning curve since the whole model is a very different platform than Axial, but before I go head first though, I appreciate watching these videos in the mean time lol, thanks for sharing! :D
The Bronco is a better rig. I have the orange Bronco and it is an amazing little crawler. Some brass, steel diff gears, aluminum bead locks and more aggressive tires. That 'slow crawl' gearset for $5 does wonders for the crawling...buying another Bronco very soon.
No comparison! The scx24 bronco is rough driving without a fair bit of money invested. I love the scx24 platform but if you don’t mind it being a tad bigger, the Traxxas is way better out of the box and for another $65 becomes pretty amazing. Thanks for hanging bro! Hope you have a great one.
@@texomarc thanks for your reply, i like keep it stock and have fun so the trx4m looks like a better option in my case. Looking forward for your new videos and also some comparison action between both
I'm jealous of everyone getting them already! Word is they're not releasing till late Jan down under 😵 Awesome to see a proper run of the defender it seems to be less prominent so far from everyone else
The crawling gears for it are only $5 or you can get a full transmission with motor for $40. On my Bronco the front tires rubbed the steering linkage. I fixed mine with some 3d printed 1.2mm hex shims
Thanks brother! We about to run it back with our first upgrades and then running gates tonight against a gladiator. Loving this new rig! Hope you have a great weekend!
Great first drive and review! I agree, these are cool! Picked up my Blue Bronco yesterday! Traxxas knocked these out of the park! Liked and subscribed to see more!
green defender looks great! cant wait to get mine, until then i got a blue bronco. love the vid! it rained non stop here today so was only able to drive it on the home course, tomorrow!
Yeah twice is better than once 😁👍👍🤠 yep we’re here watching just got back from Jim Wolf place running his course down in the basement, I seen the chassis that you sent him super cool, and I dropped him off two brand new still in the package FCX 24 axle housings front and back he is set to go well I’m still watching, The whole axles all the inners
The trx-4m does really well right of the box. It’s not a hardcore crawler but it crawls well. Thanks for hanging out brother. Hope you have a great one.
Nice bro I got the gray defender loving it so far done some mods and moved some stuff around widened it’s stance also got some reversed rc4wd stamped bead locks on trail kings pretty awesome rig got some scale accessories on it to got to have those on a defender 🔥🔥🔥😎👍
It’s pretty standard practice for companies like axial and Traxxas to put the crappiest servos on their RTR’s. Mine when out on the second pack. Makes the companies like hobbyplus and FMS standout, having servos that not only do well out of the box but continue to do well as you upgrade/add weight. They’re not fast but they get the job done with plenty of torque. On Traxxas and axial cars, I plan on the servo being one of the first upgrades. Sorry if you’re new to the game and didn’t know that. I forget. It’s just part of it. Thanks for hanging bro! Hope you have a great one.
Thanks man! Can’t take credit for this one. We was just cruising at the creek. Love this place! Thanks for hanging bro! Hope you had a great Christmas.
@@texomarc I got the silver Defender for Xmas. Can’t wait to explore and find some good crawling spots. These things are selling like hot cakes! Hope you have a great Christmas as well!
@texomarc probably in the 40+ minutes on all the various info I've read, and my next question: any suggestions on an aftermarket replacement? Always like to have two with on outings. Thanks I'll be getting mine by Friday
these rigs blew us away with their stock performance. stay tuned for the first round of mods!
Heck yeah! Thanks again, Kraig!
Most hardcore crawl of the TRX4M I've seen yet. Very impressive box stock
Too fun! Thanks for hanging bro! Hope you have a great day.
Great video, love your enthusiasm for RC… seems like this rig is living up to the hype
Loving my trx4m. It’s an amazing lil rig. 3rd party upgrades gonna blow up with all the new mods! Can’t wait to see more! Great video bro!

Hey brother, thanks for hanging. The Trx4m is a rig. Furitek is a brand. I don’t know what you’re comparing. ‘Preciate either way. Happy new year!

We get to buy them on the 18th here in Canada, but I was able to buy a bunch of parts early👍.

They are such awesome little rigs! 😎👍🏻
I'm diggin these new trx4m! Wish they had more body options but prob coming soon! Y'all have fun!🤙
One of the best reviews ive seen so far, great job bro! Cheers
Thanks brother! We about to run it back with our first upgrades and then running gates tonight against a gladiator. Loving this new rig! Hope you have a great weekend!
Can't wait to pick one up!

Kraig is a badass for the hookup! It's funny seeing a stock rig on the channel lol they did pretty dang good tho!

I wonder what would be the ultimate build… This trx4m in a years time with a range of after market parts OR a Maximus build with 4wheel steering 🤔
Badass for sure 😎👍
Ya man , love mine , going to keep one kinda stock but the fender flares and bumpers gotta go
It's so cool~ It rides stones well

How did you widen it ?
Great video man, loving that defender and you sold me on it big time! Rip till you flip for life 🤘😎🤘
I love how quiet it is, probably plastic gears. I wonder how the stock drivetrain will hold up with more powerful motors.
They look pretty nice! Excited to see what you can do with it!
Super nice 👌 👍 want a black bronco and grey defender, very cool trucks 👍😀👌💪
Nice location!
Thanks for the video!
Awesome video, I would like to see size comparison between these and WPL C-14
U do great vids bro! Im loving my defender 110
Another great video my friend 👍
BTW the steering servo has plastic gearing and are really easy to strip of teeth I have had to spend 50 dollars buying a new metal geared servo

Does it have a better steering angle than the scx24
What's a stock battery last
Maybe 30-45? I don’t run them.
