Great informational video and props having Neffex soundtrack! The mini battery in front also makes it drive lots more realistic

And I agree with you with the wheels

Enjoyed the video. The K10 High Trail is My least favorite Traxxas RC to drive. Yes, weight is needed down low, and when You added the much needed weight, the problem that the truck suffers from becomes EVEN more obvious. The body design (front fender wells in particular) and the 2.2 tires do NOT complement one another. Body rubs from the slightest of articulations are annoying and the more articulation the louder and more body rubbing. Depending on the angle of articulation, body rubbing does and will stop the servo from turning the tires in any direction, which leads to servo burnout. The Defender with the same amount of brass added and minus the weighted hub extenders, run circles around the K10 (with 80% less body rub.) IMO, this truck is JUST TOO nice looking for Me to even consider modifying the body, which is one of the few reason why I chose to purchase the truck. The Traxxas TRX4 that I enjoy driving most though has to go the TRX4 Sport. I dunno why, but it is My favorite Traxxas crawler. I'm knocking Traxxas or any of their other vehicles, but the K10 HT has been the most frustrating for Me. I require "performance" in addition to aesthetics and spec sheet data. Remove the body, its beast, BUT NO K10!!!! At a price point of $549.00 and minus the roll cage light bar that is standard on the Ford HT version, body rubbing should not be this terrible, I understand and except some, but this is just TOO ridiculous.

I just ordered black k10 just like yours waiting for it to come in I will upgrade mine

I’m definitely going to look into the brushless system you’re talking about

Best video so far Shannon. Keep up the great work

Thank you for sharing all of these tips. I had just bought one and waiting for delivery.

Excellent work. Very insightful and informative. Will look forward to seeing more.

Impressive!!

This is a beautiful truck,hope to get one , one day,great video and walk through 👍 lights are a must,will make this truck even more awesome, especially for night crawls👍👍👍😀😀

Very nice upgrades! This this has amazing low spd modulation! Sick looks too!👊🏼😎👍🏻🙌🏼✌️

Absolutely huge 👍🏻! Those are all the upgrades I push as well. And finally got dad to upgrade and he loves his gladiator now! Great video girl!

i love it here

7:20 says it all, SO MUCH BODY RUB, IT WOULDN'T RUN... Hence why I bought the Ford 😍 Okay, fine, I still love Chevy! But you have to cut off way too much fender, for the big knobby Tires.

Just got one today! Love this truck so much

As I see it, its okay to hate a little bit! The only reason why I would say this. Because I am a Chevy fan boy!!! And I bought the black special edition Ford F-150 XLT 😈 I hate the square fender wells on the Chevy!!! And seriously love the Ford fender wells 😍 So I have to build my Ford tough, with Chevy stuff!!!!!

alloy axle housings are a great option too. those canyon trails are awesome. ill take em if you dont want em..

Nice truck. I can definitely use that truck for rock crawling around my property. Nice upgrades! Traxxas should've already added those upgrades to truck for the price.

3S 2'200 mah 50C is awesome on the front battery plate.

I really like the white lettering on your wheels

I have the 150 high trail and the defender with a lot of upgrade parts that will experiment with them

run rubberbands front and rear so it's almost full droop.. .

I do the same things with my rigs, but i experiment with different motors.

Great video I also subscribed. I’m a Ford guy and that’s just me. The RC it’s self is the same just the body is different. Your information was great. Keep the videos coming.

I also have the K10 version of the High Trail. My mods are very close to yours, from the hub extenders to the down low weight to a fusion as well. I just want to add that for the price the 1200kv fusion SE is a very good fit for this platform. I run somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 fusions in my different vehicles and know how nice the pro 2300kv is, but in this vehicle the 1200 SE works well. Also, I found very quickly that the stock servo wasn't up to the task and on a budget went with the 25kg pro from Amazon and have found it to be a great alternative to stock.

We don’t get much snow here in the south, but the tracks work really well in the dirt also but I was not a fan of the tracks

Nice truck !

I have the full lighting kit and I hope you got it to i love mine

I love it I like the ford body better tho but I would get both

Good upgrades! The High Trail is a great car and an expensive one :-) it's a shame that upgrades are still needed

Try low cg battery tray with shorty pack.

Swap the shock oil to 10w or 15w. Make sure the springs coilovers are not that tight. Just snug enough for the spring, then loosen the lower caps on the shocks as they come too tight and smash the o rings. Last, cut off the shock limiters, they look like bumpstopa from real cars

I have both the k10 trx4 and trx4M hightrails both in black

Nice video, thanks for the info. I have one but still running the brushed hobbywing 555 motor. I do have the fusion family and also the XE for crawlers, but how do i install and match the system with the traxxas lighting kit? The light kit requires a couple of wires to be attached in between motor and and the esc, how do i do that with the fusion? Did you get the light kit on the truck with the fusion still in? I need some pointers here, thanks!

What do you use for the white lettering on the tires?

😱😊🤩💥💯👍💪👏👏👏

yeah I tried 2.2 Mickey Thompson tires on my lifted bronco.........NOPE. Ridiculous rub. Do you think 1.9s would be good for the high trail?

Glad to see a woman doing RC.
