I really like they way you present your self and the TRX4 . Thumbs up and rang the bell. Just so you know there are people my age 75 who have just gotten into this hobby and I find the sheer number of cars and trucks amazing. I just bought my first rc car as of 6/20/2019. Thanks for the no nonsense review.
I have the one without the Tracks, after seeing it become bogged down in the snow, and how much better the tires did over the tracks, I decided not to add the tracks. They look super cool, but are really belter suited for sand mixed with water or deeper type small streams.
Bruh I've been in like 8 ft of snow with mine. I did the 2 speed transmission conversion the extra speed helps, but like Robert wren stated the snow track makes the difference
Very cool, I just got the new version of that, came with traxx installed, lights, expedition rack, and wheels and tires, and the tracks are deep terrain tracks, they have aggressive lugs can't wait to try it out tomorrow...👍
I already bought one. There are three weak spots. The shocks, the wheel hubs, and the driveshafts. You may need to buy the Velineon esc fan as well. But over all, it’s a ton of fun!
Much the same as I. I couldn't decide with a desert rock garden in front of where I'm living and 3/4 of an acre of open desert in the back which Traxxas RC to buy. Since the hobby shop had a Rustler 4X4 VXL on the shelf I bought it and then ordered a TRX4-Sport a week later. I'm having an embarrassing amount of fun with both. Hint: I recommend the front suspension arm protectors for the Traxxas 'Stampede' be installed on your Rustler. They will HUGELY protect the front lower shock mounts(2mm hex heads) as well as the suspension arms from rock/impact damage. Also; If there are sand and small stones where you run your Rustler purchase some elastic poly-fiber surgical/food service hair nets to fit over the chassis/electronics and center drive shaft. Tire-flung stones and sand will gall the living hell out of the drive shaft on the Rustler 4X4 if not so protected. You can order them through Amazon.com $7.99 - $12.99 per 100count. I use a couple rubber bands and a thumbnail's worth of duct-tape to fit/hold it in place. A protective cover for the driveshaft made of a folded piece of construction paper /cereal-box will guard against the protective 'hair-net' getting tangled in the drive-shaft.
I saw where the price point was right at $600. I'm a penurious son-of-a-bitch; If I was to do it all over I'd throw down for this TRAXX model along with 4 alternative wheels and tires rather than the original 'Sport' in a heartbeat. You're getting $200 worth of popular accessory upgrades and clear windows for you 'Scalers', and a $200 set of '4' totally superfluous, practicality challenged, but brilliantly engineered, hugely cool and massively entertaining caterpillar tracks.
Man I wish a manufacturer would make something like the ripsaw tank 😍 brushless 60mph you could trash it jumps it flip it lol😎. Common we need a brushless sport tank 👍👍👍
This car is now $530 street price with a free set of wheels/tires as well. When you factor the price of a regular TRX-Sport, add on the LEDs, much better detailed body with $90 of additional accessories (Expedition Rack, Snorkel/Mirror kit & inner fenders) and $200 set of Traxx along with a free set of wheels and tires, it's pretty much a bargain.
just got my trx4 with tracks. it's pretty cool, threw fpv on it right away. Would like to see upgrades / bearings so I can use brushless or something. overall I enjoy it, the tracks are beast in cold snow
Nice Andrew! I bet that FPV Traxx view is great, especially when you're somewhere warm while driving in snow. We've never used the Traxx in snow before but I imagine they're amazing. Enjoy! -Brett
Thanks, yeah it’s fun. This thing has some serious control on snow terrain, seems like a good value with the body, the traxx, and the extra wheels they’re adding in the kit right now. Hope they continue to add cool features and give me new stuff To consider!
I got the '79 Bronco trx4 and I burnt the motor with my lipo ( it is a 10,000mah 2 cell) So I put a sidewinder 4 castle creations brush-less in it. ... Might want to rethink the tracks for mine.
You can. I have a mamba x in my trx 4. With a 3s lihv protek battery it HAULS ASS. Will do wheelies down the street even in the rain and offroad its more of an 800 hp ultra 4 offroad buggy than a crawler. And at the the same time i can slap it in first gear and go crawlin
@@RCKYOTA The TRAXXs are speed limited due to the oil-lite bushings and construction.. They can literally melt if you go above the indicated speed that is why the warning specifically says they are meant to be used in 1st gear only....
TRX's are awesome, the Sport might as well just be the BEST crawler ever! ...but not a fan of the tracks... in some snowy/muddy scenarios yes, but don't think would crawl as well as the stock, on tires, especially on steep sections, since it raises the CG even more... And why shouldn't you use it in 2nd gear? I've heard they're rated to 6S... not that I'd go over 4, that's just ridiculous, which I guess it's the excuse to do it :))
@@AMain_Hobbies Yeah, I meant the Traxx, obviously you can put whatever combo on the Truck... then again, maybe they're not officially rated to high power, just happened to see someone abusing them on 6S, and good to see they're holding... Thanks!
Geese is this one awesome beast Traxxas came out with...Great video as usual Brett...Keep it up...On the Traxxas Sport RTR it would be nice to see 1.9 in tires with it too ...
I have the tracks on my tacticool With metal axle housings aluminum portalz. Traxxas chrome moly axles and other up grades. Next will be brushless crawler system. It was my first trx4. I have two other modded
Nice. The Traxx on the Tacticool look the best IMO. Not sure the Traxx will hold up with a brushless system though, they're supposed to be used at low speed. Let me know how it goes if you do it. -Brett
Not bad. I'd rather see it coming with a gear set to make it a half track. Was there a reason the right rear track is backwards in the running video footage?
Are you interested in getting a crawler, or the Traxx's specifically? You can get some good deals on a crawler but they won't have the tank tracks. -Brett
Joe DeSalvo why not just put the tracks on the Tactical Unit I have one and honestly I think it's probably the ugliest RC truck I have but it's part of a collection I still need to get the Blazer
I went to your website to buy one and it was harder than doing PT training. I’m in Iraq on a tour on a damn M35A2C and it’s easier to handle than that site y’all have 😂

Hello Yolo. Yes, we do ship to the Netherlands. Although, some brands do not allow us to sell to customers in certain countries; Traxxas is one of them.

from what I've read and people I've talked to this thing just won't hardly go anywhere it's slips and slides sideways it won't hardly climb at all it's so slow you can't get any speed up to actually climb up a fairly steep slope if it even could get traction, sorry but I had to tell it like I see it
Ill be amazed if Traxxas does not patent this because they are good at ripping off full sized designs and re patenting it for RC scale so only they can use. Hopefully its patent is being held because we seen once the patent on the lay down shocks expired traxxas snatched it and re patented it for RC scales so no other company could use it which was never a traxxas design.

I've been running this truck with the Velineon vxl system on 3s
22/39 ratio. It is an absolute Beast in the snow.
I’ve got an hobbywing axe system on the way!
The trx4 defender looks like it had eyes and in watching the trx4 sport traxx coming after it 2:25 👀
I saw it to
They are throwing in a set of wheels and tires now too!
Also comes with deep terrain tracks as well
I have the one without the Tracks, after seeing it become bogged down in the snow, and how much better the tires did over the tracks, I decided not to add the tracks. They look super cool, but are really belter suited for sand mixed with water or deeper type small streams.
They have snow tracks now that do way better than tires
Bruh I've been in like 8 ft of snow with mine. I did the 2 speed transmission conversion the extra speed helps, but like Robert wren stated the snow track makes the difference
It just depends how soft your snow is
Very cool, I just got the new version of that, came with traxx installed, lights, expedition rack, and wheels and tires, and the tracks are deep terrain tracks, they have aggressive lugs can't wait to try it out tomorrow...👍
That's a really sweet truck! Now I want to get into rc crawling, getting my rustler 4x4 today!

Really like this truck can't go wrong with the price and upgraded parts just add powerful batteries with charger it's a win win situation 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
We need full bearings in the TRAXX on 3s 😉
Damn I paid $600 for my Trx k5 Blazer that came with no extra accessories and lights sold separately😢 fuck it tho I love this thing 💕

Sweet! TRX4 for the win!
"there might not be a right way to eat a Reese's" lol nice one!
So you can't change motors, esc or gears to make it faster? It's a cool truck, but I'm really not into crawlers.
Correct, they're meant to be used at lower speeds, anything faster and they could fail.

Needs an adapter for 8 track pleasure. Neat truck.

The one i just ordered does have a set of tires that comes with along with the tracks
I have the tracks on my tacticool With metal axle housings aluminum portalz. Traxxas chrome moly axles and other up grades. Next will be brushless crawler system. It was my first trx4. I have two other modded
Nice. The Traxx on the Tacticool look the best IMO. Not sure the Traxx will hold up with a brushless system though, they're supposed to be used at low speed. Let me know how it goes if you do it.
-Brett
They need to design some tracks for deep snow/mud,some lug patterns would be nice
They just released some!
RTR with traxx very cool option
Put on the head of the propeller hat, smear the lips with chocolate, the sale will increase twice. :-) I almost bought a second TRX4 ....
I’ve been looking at getting the tax for some time now! If I get this one, can the tracks come off and be replaced with tires?
Not bad. I'd rather see it coming with a gear set to make it a half track. Was there a reason the right rear track is backwards in the running video footage?
We wondered the same thing, but that is how the truck came.

AMain Hobbies ok thanks!
Pretty cool truck.
how is better the trx 4 or the trx 4 sport or the trx 4 sport (tracks) ?
I would buy this if it came with the Tactical Response body
Joe DeSalvo buy separate and put em together...there is no savings buying the sport traxx rtr.
Joe DeSalvo why not just put the tracks on the Tactical Unit I have one and honestly I think it's probably the ugliest RC truck I have but it's part of a collection I still need to get the Blazer
U need to unbox and review the TRX 6
Beckham Murray when did they make a TRX 6 and what battery is on it I have the X Maxx 6 but never seen a TRX X
Why would a tracked vehicle need traction mats?
Traction mats? What do you mean?
-Brett
AMain Hobbies the orange things on the back are traction mats
This probably sounds silly, but can tires be swapped onto the truck, If one wanted to switch back and forth from Traxx to wheels and tires?
Cant see no reason why it should be possible.
I'm pretty sure these just mount right on to the existing wheel hexes so I don't see why not!
Each track is held on by the hex and then a few screws. But yeah, you could do the swap Jolene.
-Brett
Could sum1 just replace those meltable bushings with ball bearings?.
I don't see why not. But they would get so dirty, you'd have to be cleaning them often. The bushings in this case are a good idea.
-Brett
Looks good
Nice video. Is there any other way to get that body with the light kit pre-installed of I get a trx4 with no tracks?
No, the body is not available with preinstalled lights. You can buy all the items separately and assemble it yourself however.
