    Go back enough years and all the Axial "fan boys" would be sticking up their noses at Traxxas. Oh how the times have changed. Personally, I was never a "fan boy" of any company in particular, I just went for the RC that out the biggest smile on my face. I think it's amazing how far the hobby has come in the last few years and I can't wait to see what's next. A SCX6, I mean if things keep going the way they are, we are going to be in for a fun ride! Love seeing you guys working on several different vehicles from different companies even if it's primarily Traxxas and Axial. Thanks for your continued awesomeness and your videos. I'm alwats looking forward to your next one. Cheers!

      @@rcstories_ca Back in the early 90's, I called them toonka toobs. Back then they didn't have the tech that's available now, and you could ALWAYS tell a car that went by with em playin, cause they always just made a toonka sound as opposed to a healthy set of breathing 15's🤣🤣🤣
      Of course the game has changed these days tho.
      Thanks 4 the memories 👍👍

    Chuffed?? I’m 52 and have never heard that word before. Learn something new every day. Who’d a thunk one could learn a new word to add in to ones vocabulary while watching a scale channel. Great show my man. The truck is absolutely beautiful. I am chuffed to have found your channel kind sir.👍😎

    I agree that is too nice looking to get all mudded up! You could 3D print a brief case to hold the light kit power module and make it look like it is just a brief case setting behind the seat.

    You can't go wrong with black and chrome. As for the wheel/tire package, they look great however the wheel is a little too wide for the tire - it doesn't look perfectly scale. imho.
    I agree with you about not getting it dirty. Man, it looks so great as it is.

    I have their interior in my 79 Bronco. There’s a spot on the back side of the dashboard to mount a servo for the steering wheel. It also has 2 spots for fans 1 under the drivers seat for the ESC and 1 under the the dash for the motor(the piece you showed). And if you look up G161EB from GRC it’s the rear floorboard and a gas tank.

    The first episode made me fall in love with this version of the TRX-4. Black is just classy. My Pro Scale light kit arrived yesterday so I might get it in this weekend. Thanks for the interior option. You are right. This truck is pretty. Mine is going to be more trail truck than rock crawler. Good luck in the mud!

    One of my favorite things to do to a rig like this is drive it to death in the water and Mudd. When the stock electronics smoke go with a super cheap brushless then drive it till the gears and bearings are dust. Lol. Then pull apart clean up and go all sealed bearings and machined drivetrain then reefs and HH thoughtout and resell. Lol.

    @c05sporty 3 года назад +1

    Add the folding k5 mirrors for an extra touch to that old school look! Plus you should’ve mentioned, there is a light kit that is just basic, you don’t need the pro scale kit unless you want the added functions

  • @SwampersRC
    @SwampersRC 3 года назад +4

    Looks good Matt! GRC also makes an interior for the Bronco which I'm thinking about using in a custom build I'm working on. A wash would probably do the trick for the interior, but you could just run it in the mud and leave the body dirty for some "natural" weathering on the exterior. .007!

  • @jordanbecker5434

  • @kcmullins6179
    @kcmullins6179 3 года назад +1

    Nice ;) I built up both my trx4 blazer and my Element Enduro Trail walker for the winter. I done some very similar to what you done with your blazer same tires the proline interco super swamper boggers XLs the 5.4" aka 54s. And added a winch lights changed the motor n ESC for more torque and wheel speed but also better low speed control. But my favorite is my element Enduro Trail walker. Iv done alot to it and with the amount of $$ iv sunken into it I could prob buy 3 more 😂. It also has the proline interco super swamper TSL boggers XLs 54"s their massive. I got the RC4wD steel white wagon style rims on it the blazer I put the RC4wD steel rims on it I forget what the model is but their super nice and heavy as well like the ones on my element Enduro Trail walker. But as for the trail walker I added two winch's from RC4wd I put the big $100 Warren winch on the front and the cheaper one on the rear. Everything is now metal on the truck including the reciver box is aluminum. I made the inner fenders from sheet metal. It's got a lift kit and 124mm tall internal shock absorbers. I got the RC4wD V8 and radiator and the transmission ECT but decided not to use it at this time. I bought a few transmissions for it Incase anything goes wrong even though I got all the extra gears ect for it. Iv kept the stock trans but installed all aftermarket steel gearing it's got the over drive gearing for the front the 11 or 12% I done that back in the summer. I added all the brass I could lol. So it weighs alot like seriously it's heavy. I added the camper top to the body even though I got extra bodies for it and done work to them so I can do a 1979 F250 or the RC4wD K5 blazer I got two of those. I painted the trail walker body grey it looks cooler now lol. Added aftermarket led lights so it's definitely better lighting at night. The axles are all metal vanquish look absolutely bad ass. The drive shafts also steel. The sliders steel the chassis all aluminum. Like I said no plastic anymore lol. As for the esc and motor I installed a castle Momba monster 6s and the biggest motor that I could fit on it. And that is a 4276 big block 2200kv and I run it on 4s which gives it plenty of power and torque and I can get the low speed power considering the size and raw torque that motor has and ridiculous wheel speed this Trail walker hauls ass 😂. But I don't bash it even tho it could possibly keep up with my 6s big rock lol. And I also got the 4k FPV cams installed in the bodies and I upgraded the transmitter and receiver to long range so I can use the FPV and run the truck a long ways away from the house ect.. which is gonna be fun when the winter storms hit.. we get bad ice and snow storms here in Western North Carolina on top of the mountains. So it's gonna be very interesting this year 😂. I ordered alot of extra parts and performance parts for it because once the snow starts it's gonna be really hard to have things delivered ya kno. 17+ inches of snow fall every two weeks is kinda insane so it's gonna get deep n dangerous last year we had spots that where 32 inches deep so it's insane during the cold months.. but it doesn't stay cold long maybe 2 months if that before it climbs back to the 50s 60s than 70 80 90s it's pretty strange weather.. but I got all my spare parts ready spare diff gears spear trans gearing screw kits oils grease a bunch of extra lipos and chargers extra lights extra transmitters n receivers and scale parts tires rims even a few spare axles Incase anything goes south with I doubt will happen but ya never know. My extra bearings came in this morning with my links. So I believe it's good to go 😂 imma make some epic vids with em ;)

    Would a front mounted battery solve the issue for the pro lights? Can reuse the middle for the controller and extra stuff. Also, which light system would you recommend for this truck if you were going brushless, as pro needs brushed for reverse? Thank you for all the incredible content, always fun to watch.

  • @brianellison3525

  • @rcstumpjumpers2049
    @rcstumpjumpers2049 2 года назад

    Nice build. Got one like it. Speaking from experience the antenna will go through the slot and stand vertical for best reception. RC 4WD sells the real Tsl Super Swamper. And I think the fan bracket is for the motor not the esc, weird huh. A small amount of modifications and the interior will fit over the bec much better. The power box for the lighting will fit behind the driver seat, you have to cut out the slot to expose the screw bosses. It will be exposed for access allowing to plug in other accessories . A small amount of trimming and the battery wire can be accessed through the center console hole. A very nice interior kit and fits great with patience.

He uses a Super Swamper for the rear tire. I’m loving this build you are doing. It looks so awesome. Also, and this is just my opinion, but keep it just black and chrome. It looks so good.

    So, now I’m convinced, I want to build this truck, and it will probably never go off road, just like all the full size pavement princesses around here in central California. Well, maybe just a little crawling. Do you think the hobbywing fusion motor/esc combo will fit, with that interior???I am assuming, probably. I love my hobbywing fusion motors in both my TRX4-sport, and Axial Bomber.

    Matte finish the rear shell to give it a very realistic look. The wheels and tires are perfect and I've had a few K5s for real and it's so detailed. The bottom glove box area should be black if a GM factory had built it. Shift lever for transfer case should be chrome or close to it. I'm excited to see something I literally have to double take to realize it's not real is absolutely astonishing!! Wow it is perfectly executed!!!

    For the body, I think you should leave the paint alone. However, I do have an idea: I think you should stick a scale engine under there and make it a tilt nose. That would be very period current mud truck (I’m from the south and into full-size off-road, so I’ve seen a mud truck or two! Iol)
