If a traxxas hater thinks it’s epic, then it must be the worlds best crawler!
@@BlackNYella beyond RC is a knob. He told me because I disagreed with him on somethings he had said that he didn't care if I watched his vids. Basically took his ball and went home.
Agreed Kev!
Less commenting, more contenting please Mr Talbot
Hey kev how's the isle of man
One of the best out of the box but definitely not the cheapest
I’m rebuilding my trx-4m. Ik no one care’s 🙃
The big allure for the traxxas stuff is breaking something and then being able to pop down to your local hobby shop for a replacement the same day. Really kills the experience having to wait for something to come in the mail 5-7 days later just so you can enjoy your toy and often forces you to buy multiples of a spare. The hobby shop is a really important part of the RC experience imo.
Yeah here in Australia, parts are really hard to get. Could be waiting a year for parts to arrive. I pre-ordered my TRX 4 Ford F150 high trail in metallic brown last June 2023. It's now 21 June 2024 and I still haven't received my truck. Meanwhile 3 other shops in Melbourne have got the truck. I honestly think the shop I brought from is disgraceful and I need to take my business elsewhere. So I keep giving them boneheaded morons chance after chance but the time may have arrived for me to ask for a refund and then go to another hobby RC shop which has the truck in stock. Beware of metro hobbies in Melbourne Australia. They only seem to want to push Arrma.
Good luck with red cat and fms. My lhs told me to only buy trucks they have parts for due to the fact i drive like a trained ape
The white/gray stuff in the creek is raw sewage. Just had a large creek by my contaminated by it, freaking gross! Stay out, no ticks for poo crawling lol
In my older age im understanding why traxxas is the way it is.
They may not be the best vehicles for racing but if you want to go outside and have some fun without worrying about brraking parts and having to spend a lot to fix it.
My x-maxx takes and absolute beating and keeps in coming and the parts are easy to grt and aftermarket is so much better now than when the 6s version was avaialble.
That's incidental of their business practices, not something that was intended. They like to force shops to stock massively on their parts and large ticket, hard to sell items, incidentals, and exotic parts. So your local RC shop will have far more traxxas parts than they ever intend to buy. Stores live and die on inventory levels, because they often have to go into debt to keep a shop inventory, so its very hard on them.
That said, its great for the consumer, because if you look at other brands, they only stock the absolute bare minimum easy to sell stuff, and part replacement are very slow and very expensive.
I slept on the TRX4 for a LONG time but goddamn these things are so good!!! I got a black/black Defender and with just a Fusion Pro, 45KG Amazon servo and a Spektrum receiver. This is my go to rig anytime I hit the trails or the beach and don't feel like lugging around my SCX6 Honcho
Is the scx6 motor and speed control foc like the fusion pro? Ihave trx4 with hw axe system and love it, has me wanting scx6 for hiking....just wish it had portals and locking diffs lol
_"That did escalate quickly, didn't it"_
Coffee... everywhere...
Thanks for the chuckle my guy!
Hope that's me in 5 years lol
I believe the TRX4 is the best out of the box crawler. Now there is that new one you just reviewed with the portals and such just a few weeks ago and it may be as good but I believe the TRX4 has the crown. Much like Porsche, the TRX4, if it ain't broke, don't change it.
How about a shootout between the TRX4 and the FCX10?
The "Special Edition" is supposed to be a Traxxas exclusive retailer item. Usually the special editions from Traxxas are black, save for the High Trail Sport which is grey and green.
I just got my '21 Bronco a month ago and love it. Such a cool rig. It's seen nothing but snow too and been completely fine.
I bought my TRX4 Defender on release day, so sometime in 2017...
And until this day, I still have the original micro servos for the gear and diff. They still work without any kind of issue....
Same here...😅😂🎉
I liked hearing about when you started your channel! I have a few cheap action cams and finally upgraded to a GoPro! I don't think there were too many back in 2017 with locking diffs. Great video!! Cheers!
I guess I got the only reliable micro servos traxxas made. On my Summit working for 10+ years now.
yeah the trx4 is a great chassis . and lovely body shells to . the two speed snd locking diffs add to the drive fun .
Try a vanquish Phoenix far superior, I’ve got both 😢
Thanks for addressing that mate.
Thought that was a mogwai on the floor at first
It performed extremely well under tough conditions. You can imagined what people do to these rigs. This was great test and review.
I know people are divided over Traxxas and it sounds like they do some punitive things to smaller brands, some which seem rather mean. But I have had my TRX4 since 2017 and apart from a motor change and a servo change, nothing has gone wrong with it at all. Just works.
I need to get into the crawler world soon. Seriously debating one of these as my first one 😁. Excellent video 😊
Cheers dude
I saw this body in person last Spring and the body and overall truck LOOKS AWESOME!!!!
Crawlers are one type of vehicle where I don't mind bushings. I'm more likely to seize a bearing before a bushing wears out. Also, it's not exactly a high speed application so bearings aren't really necessary anyway.
I use my crawlers miles and miles at a time. Sometimes 4-5 in one day.
I can go 2.5 miles on a 1500mah battery because I'm not over packed with grease everywhere, good bearings, brushless.....
My buddy with a scx10ii, brushless, but with bushings, and grease packed into the transmission, and differential, will only get .5 of a mile further than me with a 5200mah battery.
But he uses his like a submarine, and I won't hardly get in the water.
@ryurc3033 yeah, if you stay away from water and mud, bearings are the way to go. For those of us, like me, who like to get a little dirty, and are adverse to deep cleaning every time, I feel like bushings are the way to go. Definitely more rolling resistance, though. I'll give you that.
Good points I never thought about
Your camera angles are so epic
Thanks dude
I hope I’m not to late for you to see my comment 😢 but I’m going to say it anyway you are now crowned as my fav utuber❤😊
Honoured 😇🥳
I find that on tricky down hills it's best to unlock all diffs and put it in high speed. It can roll faster so the gears don't slow it and cause a roll over. Also allows you to throttle out easier. Open diffs prevent one wheel getting stuck and locking up all 4.
1st like 1 comment first view please pin
AH just what I needed to get me through school
😂😂
I thought Traxxas charged a premium here in the US, then I realized you're paying 20-30% more for the same parts in the UK! I understand why you're a Traxxas "hater" now, haha
😂 yes that’s a problem in the uk
Yeah.. we pay crazy prices over here for some stuff
was watching on the tv and wow im with you on traxxis. what a joke. 600 and you don't get an ounce of metal. this company is pathetic. you said plastic driveshaft and it set me off lol
Nice one, I bought the TR4M and the price was very good for what you get and I liked so much that I have bought the light kit and the quality is very good, nice fitting. I don´t see why some one could hate traxxas, but I´m new in this world, I only own a Kyosho mini Z and a Maverick ion XT for 15 years but now I have added this TRX4M and a Kyosho Fcer Subaru and the small Hoonitron from Team associated. Too may RC in 2 months ...
I have this very trx4 in red. I just got finished driving it around at a classic car show. Everyone loved it, and I got some killer photos of it with some legit full size classic American muscle.
I love them. I have 3 of them. Two 1/10's and the TRX4M high-trail .
TOMLEY Traxxas Only Make Lovely Electric Yummyness 😂😂😂😂 don't worry won't give up my day job lol, top work as usual sir
After watching this I'm gonna Buy me a Remo Hobby Crawler 10275 RTR or Rlaarlo Omni Terminator :)
Those I can afford and I can upgrade cheap.
I bought the first one Traxxas sent my hobby shop and its still works on original motor esc and servos all work. Its never broken and its been driven and used and crashed many many many times its the best and likes a challenge off road
i liket my trx4 its a fun crawler, but its so heavy, its sucks batterys and its traxxas scale its a bit bigger then the normol 1/10 scale. comparde it to my friends stock SCX10. And thats why i have a SCX10 now insted
Hi Phil, not sure whether you see or not, there is a new version of Beluga with Jeep Wrangler (HB R1011) body, diff control. Can you please order and review?
Honestly. As much as I disagree with you on SOME things. I do agree that you're THE best RC youtuber.
You could never be a hater, Phil. You're the most Canadian of all the Britains that I know. In other hand, we all know a certain Angry Goose among us, right? @disciplinerc
Traxass Traxass Traxass. Always seems like sh*t servos/electronics, on an otherwise decent platform. Why not just nail it with the best of both and earn two x's instead of two s's. For now they shall remain Traxass.
I just want to see some side by side comparisons of the trx4 and the new fms 1:10 k10!
They new one appears to have crushed the trx4, but can it deliver in person???!!!
Just picked one up. Worked great for the 1st hour of rock crawling, then.....snapped the rear axle housing in half. Totally disappointed. Seeing if I can send it back rather than try to replace the axle. Literally only an old.
Comment never seen....... but would be interesting if you elaborated more on the after video stuff like 'yea had to clean it, lube the diffs, fix the shocks, etc..' The blurb you had was intriguing, but coming from a noob rc person (me) there's a lot afterwards than you mention, I think, because you're just used to doing it all the time so it's second nature.
I can never figure out if traxxas is a high grade toy or the lowest hobby grade. I just bought(my 1st) a 2wd Slash for a spec class and it looks/feels like a piece of junk.
I've never really taken brand into account other than Redcat just because their local and i try and support them (and honestly it seems like they don't get much jam in this pbj when they make decent products)
But that trash on the trail. I don't understand people... Let's go enjoy nature, but ruin it? Leave only footprints, it's easy people!
High Trail is a GREAT looking trail truck, but definitely not a good rock crawler. The C of G is WAY too high.
Dude, those hills look steep even on camera that’s crazy😅
Yeah some were very steep!
Got a Trx4 as my first crawler 6 years ago. I’ve got a few other crawlers from other brands and honestly most perform better but it was my first so it’s always one I grab.
Submersed mine. Ruined it. Next day motor made strange sound . It bound up. The esc went up in smoke and the new eco power steering servo electronics burned inside. Never drive in creek.
A very nice car, the problem in my opinion is that the center of gravity is too high. The only advantage of the new Chevy / Bronco model is the fastening clips, so that the body is attached without any defects. But because of the high chassis, the car is very unstable. And probably shell out around €600 for that, plus around €100 for the lighting kid... 🙈
But is high trail really new? I have a '79 Bronco Snap-On Edition high trail that I bought bout 2 years ago?
I’d love to get one of these but they are around 1500 where I’m from….almost the same cost as a xmaxx. Not really worth it in my opinion.
I love Tomley RC but I don’t get why people hate on other brands like there toys to have fun with😢
I have the high trail sport in grey and green love it
M8,try driving a real 4wd,it's f....cking scary in that sort of terrain, scale wise, 😅😅
The FCX10 is where its really at. Would be nice to see traxxas update the Trx4, its just not worth 550 bucks with the brushed system.
Crawlers like the trx-4 use the brushed system as it I'd the better option for low speed control. The brushless motors are great but only at higher speed.
@@OBS4ever16 lol thats a no dummy
@@OBS4ever16Yeah, no
Traxxas electronics aren’t great.. every one I’ve had they’ve cut out too early from heat or some other reason. Off and on then works fine. Quite annoying
Here you go, it's absolutely spot on for an RTR. Your welcome.
The TRX is a great all around rig but it's great at nothing. It's a typical Traxxas. Tough and bad at nothing but excels at nothing either. I own one so I'm no hater.
Replace all servos and add brass upfront same problems as 7 yrs ago... too bad those diff covers are still big AF...
I don't know why everyone hates on Traxxas is it not what we all want as an RC enthusiast good cars and also parts to fix it Traxxas is the best in my opinion for that reason if something brakes I can usually get a replacement part or an upgrade I can't do that with most RC vehicles
Nice job, Tomley! ABSOLUTELY EPIC!!!!
Even more fally over than a regular trx4.
Trail truck is synonymous in the industry for awful performance.
Wow! You really got me at the end. Ford, yes please!💪🏽😎🤙🏽
Where can I buy one in the UK? (Sorry but I.m completely new to all this)
Tomley - got any 'budget' friendly crawler lists for this year?
i`ve bought like 10 of them, all types, kit etc, pretty pricey but i just always sold the wheels, electronics even the gear box all new just out of the box and get gt5 radio, all metal gearbox and fusion motor for that money, quite a difference ;)
Phil don't know if you got my message on one of yr other vids about my email address as the one I registered with them I no longer use and tried to change it with them but it won't let me I did tell you on that vid but dint hear owt from you
I think phone footage looks better than whatever camera you were using.
Traxxas is still overpriced and a junk company. 😂
I've not got into the Trailing/Crawling side of this hobby yet. I do keep looking at the TRX4 though. looks great and seems to perform well too.
It’s certainly not the worst choice you could mate 👍
Been a month since a xx10 build video. What’s the deal?
Grey in that water was sewerage either a burst sewer pipe or it has overflown either way it could do with reporting
Crawlers are so boring to me, do more Hyper Go bashing ayyye. ;)
Blimey, Traxxas, sewage and a tribble on one video 😮😂
The black color is the "special edition"
Reminds me of top gear when Clarkson drives the syclone.
Pretty awesome truck indeed, Phil! 😃
Fantastic crawling there!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I have the trx4 sport because it's the cheapest one they offer
Breh I think you just described me! Hello mates!
Video watched in its entirety. Like button energized.
Special edition, the black body is the special.
That white stuff in the stream is probably a bacteria or algae bloom after the temperature got higher.
That's overflow from a sewer!! Toilet roll and 💩!! 🤢
Saw one for €480 at a fair. If only I had some extra money for it 😂
I would grease everything before I put it in the water
Clear windows on the cab side & front would look better.
Traxxas should come out with a Toyota Hilux body
09767 Crooks Forest
It's that sweet ass trim that makes it a special addition.
That much water must shorten the engines life no?
That light kit. Is eye watering lol
You can get cheaper and better options if you shop around. Although the light bar that goes on the roof is an awesome piece of kit.
More like dumped concrete than rocks.
Great video bro 😎 thanks for sharing 😊
It is special edition because you got it in Black
Special edition is about the color :)
everybody know Traxxas servo suck

Tyres seem 2 be better if we're softer an maybe more power it needs
Its Christmas everyday....✌🏼😁
I thought that furry thing was a tribble.
