Pretty cool of Traxxas to come up with this. Is it perfect? no but I'm sure the aftermarket will take care of that. Traxxas isn't afraid to come up with products that appeal to the masses and the younger crowd.
You can’t be serious right the solid axle monster truck category is huge long before Traxxas thought of this. Come up with products.😂🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ and anyone that makes aftermarket for Traxxas Traxxas will just shut them down
I feel like Traxxas was going for an old school monster truck here. Not high performance, but fun to drive and looks bad ass. The Losi and smashers have the modern truck and high performance thing down.
Also not afraid to sue the mom and pop aftermarket makers
Looks like a monster truck that identifiers as a crawler.
@petejones6827
🤷♂️🤷♂️ Greg gave an honest review, he said it was slow-- He said that they should've added second oil filled shocks. Or are you just pissed because he pointed out some of the positives of the truck?
Thats got to be the worst driving mini car to come out. Traxxas really needs to step up their game, this compared to the Losi mini LMT is a joke. For $70 more dollars you get qaulity chassis with a proper suspension and much more speed. This is basically a crawler made to look like a monster truck. A crawler and monster truck should never be on the same chassis.
Womp womp womp! 👎🏼
Will pick up a K10 one of these for sure. Hoping for a TRX6m soon...
For an extra $45 just get a Losi 1/18 LMT... They're 1/10 basher fast, have a powder coated aluminium frame, interior with driver, metal links, and have licensed Grave Digger etc bodies with matching LED's
I think something everyone is missing is that these are very reminiscent of older monster trucks like those from the 80s. Slow, bouncy, real lifted truck frame with big wheels. Feels like they were going for that old school monster truck feeling. Everybody sees the phrase monster truck and thinks of xmaxx or stampede, but this is more like a real monster. It’s probably still gonna be way too expensive though lol
Xmaxx and Stampede are the last things I think about when I hear Monster Truck. The 4MT is the second to last thing.
Personally I would love to see Traxxas make a 1/10 scale version with vxl motor options, or hell even a more modern monster truck design. I would love to see a solid axle version of the tmaxx.
Agreed
Traxxas big foot
Bet there will be an overpriced Traxxas brushless system for these soon. Typical Traxxas….nickel and dime you to death. The crawler version don’t crawl and the monster truck does basically 😆
They looked slow in the Traxxas video too.
They're trash. And no one is willing to say it. It's useless.
Quite the disappointment seeing that the Gorgon or groms offer such better value. Pretty lazy on the part of traxxas.
It's doodoo. Period.
Gorgon..😂 that lame horizon crap 😂
Cool idea, disappointing execution. But idk what else to expect from traxxas, between this and the maxx slash, traxxas really seems to be losing their touch even more.
Nice toys for the kids this summer. They could've sell with the speed gear allready installed though, it's stock trx4m speed, way too slow for a bigfoot.
Toys? Far from toy!
@@INSIDIOUS-ONE hey karen we know it's a "hobby grade" RC. But look at it ! it's a "bigfoot" that can't even jump stock and it does look like a little toy. If you think this is for die hard RC hobbyists you're crazy, this is a overpriced toy with replacement parts you can buy.
Appreciate the review
They look great, but going to have to say it's a miss for me. Almost toy grade slow for a monster truck-can't even jump or do a wheelie, come on.
Very toy grade looking and acting.
Traxxas has made some amazing cars like the xmaxx, trx4 and xrt but the trx4mt is just not good. in my opinion $200 is way overpriced for a car that only goes 4 mph and only have 4 out of the 8 shocks are filled with oil, and even if they were it would all leak out because the stock trx4m shocks are really bad and they leak oil. I think traxxas could have done a lot better with this car considering the losi mini LMT is almost the same prince and it is way better. The only good thing about this car is it looks good and would kinda be a good beginner rc. but if I was going to go with a first rc I would go with the base modal slash witch is only $239. the trx4mt is basically a over priced mini crawler trying to be a monster truck. Traxxas you could have done better.
4 MPH ! what were they thinkin?
Losi 1/18 LMT Grave Digger destroys this in every way
Another traxxas cash grab.
I am a traxxas fan and this is seriously disappointing to me. In my opinion it needed to have wider axles, metal internal gears, and a micro brushless system along with the high speed gearing. As it currently sits, it is at a similat level to the walmart toy grade rcs except with porpotrtiomal throttle. Sorrt Traxxas, but you dropped the ball on this one.
You don’t know what you e paid for it ? Well Traxxas always tell people they don’t send stuff for free to nobody…
Wow this one is a massive disappointment. Bouncy suspension, still using bushings, 7 mph top speed even with the speed gearing, overpriced… this release is laughable. One filled shock per corner? Really? Arrma comes out with the groms and traxxas drops this turd? Do better traxxas.
This isn’t comparable to the grom’s in any way. It competes with the losi mini lmt.
This is no where close to a mini lmt. Not even the same ball park. I have a mini and this is no where close.
@@ralphhondaman their both 1/18 solid axle monster trucks… the grom’s are not… if people want a small monster truck this is a cheaper option.
@nate0765 this will end up being $200 or more. $260 gets you a mini lmt that has way more options and does a lot more then this all around. Only a traxxas fan would pick this up.
@@ralphhondaman the mini lmt is $70 more, makes sense it’s more capable.
I'm about excited for this as I am for the snow that's falling today.
The lmt 1/18 is way better.
Love traxxas but this one helps justify the price of the losi mini lmt. Does look cool though.
By the time you upgrade this with all ball bearings it would cost as much as a Losi Mini LMT.
Monster truck that won't do any monster truck things. I strike that one up as a fail.
it's way too slow!!
why not put a bigger engine on it?
it's a monster not a crawler!!!
Lame, they bounce around like toys. Not for me............
It’s called tuning! Or is that a new concept to you? 🤡
They are 1/16 scale what do U expect
1:16 doesn't have to bounce. The Latrax Teton had nice suspension for such a small car.
Yes, all my other small scale rcs dont bounce like that
It is a toy.
Wish i had stuff like this when i was a kid
Overpriced and 7 miles in hours with speed gear??!! They could've made something better
It’s a 1/18th scale truck, anything faster and the thing would be doing standing backflips and flipping over
@@benjaminbrown7127sooo a monster truck doing monster truck things 🤔
Nice but no memes allowed on Tube so , talk slower for the Ford guys . Ok lol
The speed out of the box and with the high speed gear is really underwhelming compared to the other 1/18 scale options like the FMS or Losi. I’ll wait to see what the aftermarket will bring first.
Looks good but I prefer the Smasher from FMS. Much faster. And use their high speed motor for a few $ and it is a rocket.
My thoughts exactly. At least with the fms you can use a readily available model car body for personal preference.
Summer bonus is reserved for a black K10.
Is the rear axle the same as the front for an easy change to a 4WS?
Just buy the Front Axle and swap it tocthe rear i did that my Mini Capra
Why Traxxas can't make a 10th scale with live axles that would compete with Losi or Tamiya is beyond me
Wow you pretty much can make this a high trail. And it’s 200$ with a metal servo
A monster truck that's too slow to even jump 😂 think they will make a cool mini mega mud truck though
Not my cup of tea, but good video showing what it’s or what it’s not capable of.
This is better as a monster truck crawler (i know it competes with the fms smasher), otherwise its way too slow thus I cant get into it if looking at the rc from faraway (unlike an rc crawler, u get up close)... which thus makes it no better than a Very expensive diecast scale model car.
Would rather get the $200 bigfoot stampede or the armma typhon grom (recent buy and very good actually)
Why don’t you just bring back the tamiya black foot and clod buster. They were the same bouncing none functioning piles of plastic. I mean if that’s what you like. Just saying. Poo poo.
Too much plastic for a truck of this price...at least the diff gears should be metal...metal links as well.
Also they should have developed a smaller controller with 1 hand drive built in...the controller as big as the truck looks stupid.
Another huge fail by Traxxas they literally slightly change a few things like Apple products and people run down and buy it. There’s so many better options you could build one better than this same price.
Hope they dont suck so bad that kids get turned off from the hobby right out of the gate. Not likely though. Traxxas acts like kids can or even want to wrench on their trucks and fix all the broken and sub par parts on their toys.
yea...very cheap made for the price...better slap 80 bucks more and go for the losi and use a body from fms 18th..
Hope they make some kids happy.
AT THE BARE MINIMUM, they should have added a faster motor and open diffs.
almost as quick as my stock scx24 deadbolt😂😂
Mehh
How sad. That’s gonna flop big time
Are they locked diffs?
I would describe these tiny rigs as “A brief Intermission”. We’ll get back to business shortly.
I'd like to see those tires on a bronco trx4m lol
SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY
Needs oil in the other shock, and remove the spring. Probably still too bouncy? They look good but dang they’re slow! Bore myself to death driving that I need to be able to break something
Losi mini lmt monster trucks are a better choice
No thanks. Too slow, too cartoonish.
I think the main cause of the bouncing is the twin shocks. The suspension is harder with the extra springs, resulting in limiting suspension movement. It can`t absorb shocks because the springs aren't compressing enough.
Gotta go brushless with high speed gearing for those monster truck wheelies though
I think a 50 turn injora motor would help a lot without needing brushless too
@@tuna3461 That would also be a good solution. Much cheaper too!
Cheaper than the Losi mini LMT 😂
Would like to see it next to the FMS Smasher
Smasher is by far better out of the box, may be smaller but has metal gears throughout, and bearings.
When did Traxxas start selling Wal-Mart quality overpriced to their Traxxas prices..lol. Traxxas has become a joke. I used to be a Traxxas fan...but their poor quality control and extremely over priced products and lack of innovation....👎👎
This is perfect for a 5 year old just getting into R/C, people find way too much to complain about in the comment section. This is definitely geared towards children.
How much???
I really wanted one. They look great but the performance is definitely lacking. Bummer :(
Traxxas isn’t dumb. They will release a full line up of upgrades from a higher performance motor, metal upgrades, bearings, etc. They make so much money by making people buy all the upgrades.
These weren't put out for speed and performance. These a small-scale RC models! Focus is on looks not performance. Hell, if you want more speed or performance just get a La Trax Prerunner for $60 less..
Ugh please have some decency and stop pushing this garbage. A supposedly monster truck that can't even jump a tiny ramp! 🤦🤦
Those rimms are close to 1.55 rims. Why not just go all the way and put 1.55s on? Its like 2mm difference for us metric Canadians lol
Not too bad, reminds me of 80’s monsters, but if I was the designer, and had to make something very similar to this, I would make them 1/2” to 1” longer, maybe a half inch wider, and make them go like 8 MPH out of the box.
Looks pretty cool but appears to be short on speed and needs some hex extensions/wider axles to be more stable. For a mini monster truck, mini LMT is looking much better.
Hahahahahahahah!
People are missing the purpose of these. These are slow like old monster trucks. Perfect for in the house during the rain. Lol
looks cool but drives like a Walmart car.
I got $25 trucks from Amazon for my kid with less plastic than these toys have. They look even bouncier than the Losi mini MT.
Traxxas plastic is one of the most indestructible plastics in RC. Metal does not mean better quality. The Amazon toys are made out of pot metal. You can bend it just by looking at it and it cracks and strips like butter. The SCX24 is the same thing. They give you a hobby a great platform you can build off of. This truck is the same way. The TRX4M is a beast with upgrades and is super popular.
Yeah, I’d trust Traxxas plastic more than metal from a cheap Amazon RC. I’m on my 6th traxxas crawler and haven’t broken anything on any of those trucks.
Great overview. The locked diffs are gonna make handling tricky for anyone who upgrades the top speed very much.
I agree.
Locked diffs come on Traxxas 🤦
Get a mini LMT and throw this body on it. Bigsquidrc did it and it looks pretty sweet
I’m glad you made this video. I will not be buying this snail.
Mini Clod Buster!
I was really hoping for a fast brushless system for 200
Mini clod buster???? Think I'll stick with my lmt
I’ll take the slower truck if you didn’t already give it to your buddy!
How was that Rc spot? Some full senders there...
Pretty good! I have another video coming up with that spot. Been looking for you guys every time I drive by. But I just see the tire tracks you leave LOL
I have one of the monster trucks they do not come with a tool to take the wheel off😢
Would had been better if came with high speed gearing.
I'll stick with my Kevin Talbot style land rover
This is shrinkflation in action lol
Like the guy said he knows there are those who are gonna cry.
Slow...no differentials....what traxxas make these for 😅😅😅
I have a feeling The 4m is a test before they drop the 1/10 scale
Give me 1/10 and more power.
I think 150 is more realistic price for these
This is just a teaser the 1/ 10 are not far behind 😊
sweet brother
Traxxas is trash
Like your comment is …
Needs brushless think it be better like to see that keep up great work and have wonderful day.
Nice with the track set up!!
Some more junk from traxxas
Yeah whatever 😂
I just got the blue Ford today
No dodge body? Ugh.
There won’t be any dodge bodied traxxas vehicles. The rights were too expensive, I work at an rc shop and that’s what our traxxas rep told us.
It rusted out before the could try it
Super clean looking trucks. The Dual shocks and side panel really looks nice. Thanks for showing the gear conversion. Great job as always.
You are the most knowledgeable RC guy out there. Truly 👍
