The headlights look awesome!
Which one?
@@guillsevilla 🤣🤣🤣
Both headlights look good as well as the body imo so I would grab both if I had the opportunity.
Your woman looks really well-built too!!
Amen
I have both of those exact trucks. Can say confidently that the TRX4 gives you much more for the money.
Money aside, which do you prefer driving, which has the "fun" factor?
Redcat, I think cause of the body. I always wanted a real international.
not sure how the axe electronics are worth quite a bit
I’m 18 thinking about my first rc car
Definitely 2 BIG big ones with the goodie , impressive
I have the defender TRX4 and the Axe, both are great but change the shock oil, stiffen the springs, better tyres and heavier wheels the Redcat becomes quite the weapon
yeah the front seems soft for sure. I will have to tune it up a little.
@@RCPropaganda I've always thought it's biggest problem is body roll
Yeah what he said..axe is def a beast...i added treal aluminum axle housings..heavy weight brass portal casings on my axe..love my pitbull rockbeast tires too
@@waynef3297 Are the better electronics on the AXE worth losing the diff locks on the TRX4?
@@evanwebber9981 Depends on what you want to do with it.
I have no idea why this video was recommended to me. But I've been driving my 85 Bronco for over 30 years & I'm now off to buy something I did not know I needed a few minutes ago!!
hahaha, get into rc crawling man. You can 1to1 crawl to nice spots to crawl with 1/10th rigs ahaha
Redcat is $340 and the TRX is $500 on Amazon right now Oct. 23rd 2022. I'm sold just on the Bronco along with the 3 speed and ability to lock the differential front and back. But I like the price tag on the Red cat and for someone who wants to get into the RC crawler world it's a good start..great video!
Thanks. Both trucks are really fun either way.
The course is tough.
My rc is also trx4. The shock movement is fantastic.
I enjoyed the video👍👍👍
👍🍻
With some body mods the red cat would be a beast. Good review
Your bird is fit man. Good job.
Thanks 👍
I love your channel because you speak out the full detail of an Rc track very well, meking me to understand what i can add or buy for my trx 4
Thanks
just bought the bronco , already changed tires .....pit bull rockbeast with new wheels ( 171 grams per) . changed servo ( savox) and brass weights are arriving this week . really like how nutruel l this video is . i thinkin the long run it comes down to what the person wants but i will agree the bodies are either to long in the back end or top heavy , ill probably take the cap part off of my bronco
That girl have some endurance.Those trucks ain't light.I bet she's working out.
Nice camera angles. 😜
Came for the those👀
Trx4's 😁
The truck stand also has some great specs
We need to know those specs!!!
Seriously, those are the most set I've ever seen.
I turned down the audio. Some guy in the background kept rambling on about trucks.
Hahahaa
Lamo
I had no idea that RC crawlers came with airbags! Fap-tastic!
🤪🤪
Thanks for the vid. I got a TRX-4 Sport kit and I've been wondering why Traxxas went with portal axles if everyone says they don't climb well because of the higher CoG. From this vid it's clear that the portals clear 'trail boulders' way better than regular low-pumpkin axles.
Yeah it's all preference. The clearance def helps. Depends on what your terrain is. Thanks for watching.
Dang she held those trucks up for a while!
I have both. I just got the gen8 and I was able to lift it with the adjustment holes and it's as tall as my trx with a 150 lift kit. I had to adjust the length links. I also thought the pumpkin looked like cleared better but... I still love my trx
Witch do u like better
This video is literally exactly what I was looking for today while debating on buying a gen 8 or not to have alongside my bronco lol thanks buddy, helped alot, think I'm gonna go ahead and order one.
Heres A guy I love my gen 8. I’ve added all aluminum axles and chassis parts. Love how heavy it is and moves like a real truck.
Thank you for taking the time to make this high quality video. You guys have the best comparison of these two and I think I've watch them all lol. Still a tough choice but for me the redcat. You know how it is, probably get the bronco trx4 too, when funds allow...God bless, stay safe.
Yes it is a hard choice. Getting both is the way to go haha.
James Brouse yeah great vid care to watch my crawl video too ya ruclips.net/video/jhiB6t1Ixys/видео.html
my broncos got the axe system in it when I bought it from a guy it had a tekin esc and a 8.5 viper motor he say it would bring the front end up any time and would crawl good but the first time I took it for a drive the esc caught on fire so then I put the axe system in it has the sky fly radio to!
Man, I didn't see a single RC in this video until about 8:55 in. I did enjoy the puppies though 👍🏾
Great video and analysis of both rigs. I'm keen on getting the Bronco as soon as i've got the $$$$. Awesome looking crawl spot!
G3516dude yeah great vid care to watch my crawl video too ya ruclips.net/video/jhiB6t1Ixys/видео.html
Nice looking crawl, with the snow in the background along with the sun and trees. I would go with the RedCat personally, mostly becauseof the brushlesssystemand radio. I'm still driving an Axial SCX10 gen1. Instead of buying a new one I bought upgrades. Thank you for your time and effort.
SO many new trucks out there, its def a great time for rc crawling.
I wish this would help set a trend, and all reviews would have female assistance -- well done!
I know right
Uhhh, girls and RC trucks don't really go together so don't hold your breath...
@@matthewchin6454 I guess I'll be the first to say!! Have u lost ur mind? Girls go good with any and everything!!
Dam bro you get to play with all the good toys lol
Ordering my Gen 8 Axe this weekend can't wait to start crawling
Hell yeah man. Its a great rig.
Great video! It made me a subscriber. Been thinking about getting a trx 4 and been researching. Do believe your review was one of the best. Thanks!
thanks for watching and subscribing.
Great video, awesome commentary!
👍
Why do I have a sudden urge to get a glass of milk?!
I chose the AXE rig. Got it about March 15th 2020. just before you make this vid.
0:28 What are we really filming here?!😜
Great review!
Great comparison 👌. Keep the videos coming brother 👊
Thanks man.
I added the Reefs RC sliders, it was a slight improvement in situations that cause you to get hung up on the center of the truck. I did the magnet body mounting mod, as well. The adhesive on the Velcro was getting weak.
Yes the valcro is a concerned in the long run for me. I want those sliders but no one seems to have them in stock.
@@RCPropaganda Yeah, they're a pretty hot item. Of course, they are metal, so....more weight up high. Just what you wanted, right? But, they are a smooth powder coat like finish, and they won't break...like one of mine did, while doing a barrel roll all the way down the hill, after tipping over. And yes, yours tips over easily, as well. I noted that in another one of your videos. If you don't have the trx4 sport, you just don't have a comparison. It's not a bad truck....just more of a trail rider, than a rock crawler. I actually thought about swapping everything but the steering servo, over into my traxxas. I already have the traxxas 400 ounce/inch servo in my sport. I dunno....the axe system is smooth as Kentucky bourbon...but, I already have a pretty good brushless system in there, with the Hobbywing 1080 Quickrun. I want to get a flysky receiver, so I can use the FS-GT5 radio with it. No end point adjustments on my Traxxas radio, and the new servo has a little more travel than the OEM servo. My front wheels chatter at full lock at higher speeds.
When I had TRX4 I could not stand the stock ESC. I swapped it out for a Carisma ARC-2 crawler ESC. It's like an upgraded Hobbywing 1080 but, with more settings and a much better drag brake.
Imma try this!
How is the crawler mode on that esc?
nice vid and right up my street as I also have a trx4 Bronco and Gen 8 Axe :)
She's a brave Women brother! Always appreciate all the info!❤
I am very lucky for sure.
So I've got a Gen 8, and while I haven't wrecked the gears in the portal axles, I ~have~ broke the axles themselves. I don't know if it's because I set it up for rear wheel steering, with a front axle mounted on the back, but my rear axle busted right next to the steering knuckle. Blew out the axle itself, and the steering knuckle as well. Had to replace both, and decided to go with some aftermarket all aluminum axles and knucks, which will hopefully hold out better than the plastic OE axles.
i will take the scout.love the old stuff.Stay Safe Stay Healthy
Just recently got a RedCat Gen8 Scoutt ll and the problem I found with the stock tires & foam is that the foam is just a little bit to big and needs to be trimmed down on the outside edges to allow it to fit in the tire better and allow for some sidewall flex. and for the tires the tread is to close together, I went & on the two rows of tread in the center of the tire one row on the right & one on the left & cut the knob out on the left skipped two ( same row ) cut the next out & went all the way around then did the same to the row on the right. Cutting out the knobs allowed for space between the lugs allowing them to get a better bit on stuff. And it made a night & day difference & maybe only took half an hour or so to pull the foam out of the tires then trimming the tires while the foam was out on all 4 tires & the spare tire.
Great detailed comparison mate 👌
Thanks for sharing 👍🦘🇦🇺
Thanks 👍
I clicked here for the beautiful lady in blue. Cool trucks as well. Keep her in the vids and she will earn you many subs lol.
0:18 "So i figured we'd do this, because these are both big trucks uhm, big bodies as you can see" And that hand waving in front of the cam are so double meaning ha ha ha
Nice! 😍😊
Thanks! 😄
I run a 2300KV AXE in my Bronco with GMADE steel wheels with PL Flat Iron tyres , the perfect combination
just got a axe installed in the bronco. My fav system.
TRX4 all day. Crawls good and can bash in 2nd gear and diffs unlocked.
solid points.
I love all 3 rigs!!
as do I 🍻🍻
The Servos are a Reefs 422HD. not the Triple 4. FYI.
Best review on both these trucks
Those 2 beauties in the thumbnail got me to click! 😁
Very nice two things bud !!! And I love my TRX really bad - it´s an awesome rig!
Nice Video..... I like the Gen 8 it's a good truck for what you pay for. Thumbs up.
Thanks 👍
They both look awesome!
nice comparison, i have both also and i believe the gen8 is my favorite one both very capable rigs
Yeah I would not be able to choose. I like both a lot. I am going to go ahead and start modding the bronco. I am bored so will pull out the hobbywing 1080 thats in the my hpi build and use a homles hobbies motor I have from an other rig. Going to make a attempt at printing this whole new interior piece that I can chop the cab and have the pickup look. Its from Ampro. Have you seen that setup?
@@RCPropaganda not sure I've seen the chopped body. But I have printed a couple interiors for it
@@RCVOODOO I seen a nice drop bed from scale built but he does not sell it. Im getting my printer out now. Waiting for a reply because print looks to big for my print bed. Its all piece. So before I spend 35 on it I want to make sure I can print it.
@@RCPropaganda good idea.
I love my TRX4 with the axe system
Yeah i want to try the axe 550. When they come back in stock I will pick one up.
Yes she is well built!
Very detailed comparison. 👍🏻
Nice run bro 😎
Thanks ✌
I have a redcat gen 8 original love it only thing I've broken is a gear in the stock portal doing some upgrades for only one reason I WANT TO not that I need to this truck impresses everyone including me and I'm a huge fan of international harvester
I was way too distracted, what was this video about again?
I am sorry, what did you say.
This might be about tiny trucks.
Nice review! I love the cut tennis balls as markers!
Thanks.
Awesome video brotha
Nice cars i love it so much
Yea wer all here cuz we wanna see the RC trucks... yea
Trx4 for the win. Much less it was the only one that still had the stock tires on it.
No i swapped. Both truck ran the same tires for this test. But yes the stock trx4 tires are better. You can do the free mod to them and they work pretty well.
I have a couple Trx4's, I have been eyeing the Axe too so maybe it's time to get one. Great vid brother!!!🤘🤘🤘
its important to add... you change the wheelbase length on the redcat all the way from 12.2 to 13...right out of the box
Yes that is a feature, I did not even know about at that time.
awesome my guy👍🤝
🍻🍻
Nice, I wanted to get the ax. Drag race the ax against the trx4 lol😁
lol. I was going to do a drag race but I was like mehh.
Drag race? Wth
Thanks! Great comparison test!
Thank you!
I sold all my crawlers long time ago, went from my trx4 sport to an enduro, huge disappointment. Been thinking about going with the Axe this time around, hard to beat the trx4 though.
Yeah trx4 is def a solid rig for sure.
Just curious, what was disappointing to you about it over the sport?
I order the trx4 it's waiting for me when I get home next week also ordered the tracks. Thx for the advice!
great choice man. sounds great
Great comparison, I was set on the redcat as my first portal rc and the cost. But now I'm thinking the scx10-3 is probably what I'll get
👍👍
Vanquish Phoenix is on sale right now!!!
nice job thanks.. Love my traxxas Bronco..
Great vid bro. I have the Traxxas trx-4 defender I love it. I also go back and fourth on the two speed as well. Im going full build with mine. Lift kit with 2.2 tires I also have yeah racing’s brass upgrade kit but I still need more weight. What are your thoughts on metal axel housings? Thanks again.
Plastic slides a little better I think than metal. To much weight can be a bad thing.
good lil woman holding them rigs all day lolll
Buen contenido!!
Saludos desde Crawler RC
The Redcats wheel base is adjustable from 312mm to 336. I can adjust it back in firth in under 5 minutes, not to hard.. 👍🏼
how so. The links are for the normal wheel base?
@@RCPropaganda This is directly off Redcats website (ADJUSTABILITY FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE
Easily adjust your wheelbase from 312-336mm (12.2" - 13.2").......
There are 3 different adjustment holes in the Frame for all the links. you simply move them in or to the middle or all the way out for every link & itll adjust the wheels accordingly 👍🏼.. check out Redcats website or search it on RUclips you'll see what I mean. The gen 8 scout ii is identical...
Wow .. !! Beautiful cars ..
Thanks
Check out the all metal axels for the gen8 freaking epic upgrade!!!
The problem with the redcat is that it’s not an axial or Traxxas or vanquish. But the good thing is that it’s not one of those and you can get used for way cheaper.
It does seem like the trx4 went through considerably smoother.
👍👍🍻
Great video
Thanks!
Good review. Thanks 👍👍✌✌
Nice looking diffs
Thanks 👍
My friend has a TRX4 truck. He does not have the Bronco. He removed the portal axles, because he said they raise the center of gravity too much on the truck. What are your thoughts on this? Good idea?
It is true, but it depends on your goals. You can do other things to try and add weight low to help with high center of gravity. I like portals but I am not one of those guys that says you have to have them.
Reality preatty girl 😍thanks for crawler comparison 👍
Nice pair of.......... trucks.
Thanks 👍
Very nice platform. Great review,
Thanks!
Great comparison 👍
Which one would you say is better for dirt road driving? Thanks
trx4 for sure
Great video 😊👍🏻
Thank you 🤗
Very good review video
All I see is headlights nice review
Thanks! 👍
Awesome video , very informative . Have to subscribe now don't I 👍😉🤣
nice set!
