      I highly recommend it. I got a bunch of parts from Injora coming in for it and it’s a really simple vehicle to make incredible. Also if you do end up getting it I highly highly recommend getting the Adaptive designs flex blades if you enjoy major flex and crawling. I also have a trx4 defender which out of the box is also really capable. Traxxas offers a lot of good vehicles but I definitely recommend this one as a start for you.

    Hey! from an ex California student who lives in India now and 9cmonths inro the crawler world It’s nice to see a fun positive review! Also awesome to see little to zero FMS crawler videos on your channel although you did mention them in the beginning especially in a world where most guys are dumping a new one each day. I’m watching this video as I order my first Traxxas crawler (mini and new) I have old ones
    The trx4m Bronco. This is after fms and axial and a bunch of mini wltoys rgt cross Rc to name a few I’m dwelling into the Traxxas crawler scene simply because I see so much aftermarket just like the Scx24. It was between this and the svx24 Bronco used, I chose the xMBronco.

    That Defender you have was epic. I have the Defender M I have the 1:10 scale TRX Bronco already so I picked the Defender. Slowly upgrading it replaced the links & front steering arm. Also some Treal metal beadlocks & super sticky Injora tires. It’s been a blast & can’t wait to upgrade it some more. You definitely represent the RC world well I was at Proline By The Fire & you took the time to speak to & encourage young girls who are out with family Crawling. I definitely saw a far share of girls with there own Crawlers. It’s a great family oriented hobby or Obsession which is most of us we are RC Nuts pretty much. 😂

    The battery issue is pretty easy to fix. Just need to make an adapter that connects to the balance lead of a 2s with the center wire going to the top/center pin. Pretty sure it's used solely as a sense pin because the output voltage where the lights plug in is 6V.

    Since I cannot afford the real Bronco, I may have to get one of these! Unfortunately the crawling scene in eastern NC is pretty slim, no events that I know of, and there is only one track that I know of within an hours distance that only holds 1/24 scale crawling competitions. I currently have two crawlers, a Element Trailwalker and a Associated CR12. And I just get them out once in awhile and do some bashing with them.

    On the topic of double AA batteries. Rechargeable batteries are only 1.2v compared to 1.5v so small performance drop and shorter run time and less trasmiting distance (performance) just depends how important it is to the user

I put the preload clips on all fours & it looks more higher this way to clear the bumper more goin up hills or obstacles. Looks like a mini high trial now lol.
