Just subscribed to ur channel. This is such a great looking rig. Excited to see this thing in action. I know ur really gonna put it through tha ringer. Slow hill climbs and tire flex. Can't wait to see it on tha trail. 😁😁😁
Dude in a later video you put 2.2 wheels on there. It’s got so much torque that it increases the speed. Could you slap that gps on there again to see how fast on the 2.2 tires?
Cool thanks just opened mine threw a 3s in and shot it across the kitchen floor. I was worried it was gonna be real slow but not bad. My question is is the trx 4 sport as fast as the 2 speed trx 4?
It is not. The sport is somewhere between the low and high gear of the two speed TRX4. It is quite easy and fairly cheap to change the motor ($20) and/or pinion gear ($5) to raise or lower the speed of either version of the truck. You could also go sensored brushless, and have the best of both worlds, but that will cost a lot more money.
Driftomaniacs Awesome! Thank you for your response. I’m anxious for my Gen 8 to arrive as it’s my first crawler/trail vehicle. I do own a few other rc vehicles, mostly for bashing. Keep up the great content & have a good one!
Pretty fast for budget crawler my gen7 pro wheelied out of the box with 7cell nihm sure the weight from accessories and roof wheel had something to do with it anyways looks powerful nice prediction
Mike my gen7 pro also want to 'pop' a little on 3S, the gen 8 shows no sign of that on 3S. I've found since reading the manual (!) the spare tire comes with a rear mount, however I'm going to leave it off as removing the one on my TRX4 made the world of difference.
Um just got mine and it does not drive straight no matter how many times I trim it. Pulls too the right every time I hit the throttle. Very disappointed so far. How is your driving properly? Did you mod it to fix the bump steer?

I spot a very dirty Arrma Big Rock BLX on the bench.. look forward to that video Rich 😁
Well spotted. I was waiting for some to notice!
Well its a great looking truck. Had mine a couple of weeks now.
Well done video, Sir.
I have a feeling we will be seeing a Gen 8 Pro in the future.
Scaled Motors time traveler?? Lol
Axe edition? 🤔
Great video Richie
Thanks, everyone always asks the question ' mister how fast does it go? '

Thanks Shawn, just about to take it out around my yard and then hit the trail later this week all being well
Driftomaniacs Sounds good. Great video. Thanks for ur response
I've had a Gen 8 for a year and thought it only ran on 2S this whole time 😂
How slow dose it go and how smooth is it driving slow. That’s the important part
Mines super laggy out of the box.
Most youtubeper didnot test real performance on crawling n trail.
I assume its dont great.
Bro! What little fps speed thing is that? I want one!! Cool vid! Thanks

Good video i saw fun this video big thumbs up my friend XD
It looks more luxary than Gen7~

I hated that Velcro. I did the body posts but now I wish I had done the magnet mod instead.
Cool demo..is there any motor & esc heat issues using 3s?
Not after these short blasts, however I should think it'll run on 3s all day long it's not a high stress/demand aplication hoep that makes sense

@@DriftomaniacsRC for shure i saw your video demonstrating the pull back on the climb up with and without gen 8 looks to be solid for the money wow
So what would you suggest getting for this crawler ? 2 or 3s ? What is better for crawling?
Now I use 2S most of the time, 3S is a bit overkill and makes the truck more jumpy at low speeds
@@DriftomaniacsRC thanks!!

I kept mine stock, i would speak to redcat if it still doesn't run straight. Apologies no fix as we don't sell RC cars. Really sorry not to help more
@@DriftomaniacsRC Dang I was hoping not to have to send it back. Thanks anyway.
Figured it wouldn't be too fast but I bet it can go almost anywhere 😂
I've been playing in the yard and that approach angle means it'll climb small steps. No speed demon but then I'd rather it go slow!
How slow can it go before it stalls out?
?
What brand is that 2s?
nice
Is it true you can’t use a 7.4V LiPo in it?
It'll take a 2s or a 3s lipo that's why this test is called what it is....
Do you have any input lag?
There maybe a touch, a couple of times I did wonder if it did or was just my imagination, I'll watch for it on the trail
Driftomaniacs Mine seems mainly at full throttle it keeps moving for about a 1/2 second when I release the throttle. Low speed is fine.
What no standing backflips.😂😂
oh don't go giving me ideas!
It can def pop wheelies if you floor it on a high grip surface like carpet or tacky dirt
7 on 2S, 10 on 3S
Edit: wow, I walk slower than I thought 😢🤣
Pedro Woolson I know right!!? Me too!
You’re just going to drive around with your mirrors folded in like that??!!
he always uses his rearview
Your accent so funny hahaha…
2S much better for rock crawling
V true
It's a trail truck ... Top speed is insignificant
well, you want it to go as fast as you are walking at least.
65 mph or something
....down a cliff?
@@DriftomaniacsRC 😂😂😂😂
Oh come off it... who the hell cares how fast a crawler is? It's not the point
Now....you'd be really, really, really surprised at who wants to know. Google 'how fast is the traxxas TRX4 on 3S'.....and be as amazed as I was
Haha a slow crawler lets go brushless
Castle in this? Might hit double digits! However this babies staying stock fro the minute!
