I'm new to any rc vehicles. Also old enough that I worked on my own full size cars, so I bought the TRX-4 kit. You can do the work without crawling around on the ground. I also found a HUGE number of add on accessories to play with

TRX4 CHASSIS KIT is the best way to learn about RC basic, especially rock crwaler mechanism. For example, portal axle, diff lock, and 2 speed transmission. I have always curious about the system, and I became a master of system as I have built every thing from scratch. Traxxas really thought through all the process, and I was so amazed about the kit. It was absolutely the right choice for the very first rc crwaler to begin with! Man, it is just so addicting, and so much fun, and so much learning experiences! Oh and thanks for the great Review Francis!

Thanks for this video! Just ordered my Land Rover, it may not be the best value but I really like the realism and possibilities (5 channel).

watched, studied & finally bought myself a trx4 sport, mostly based on your reviews.. keep up the good work, guys.. honest, direct reviews from you guys keeps the hobby going 👍👍👍

Great review! Was so confused as to how many TRX-4’s were out there. Glad I found your channel, you explained everything perfectly! Me climbing on board & subscribing to your channel was a no-brainer! Thank you!🙏🏻

I’d have to say the 5 channel kit for the win! If the bronco is great then the kit is best for the builder. Yeah the finders are a pain to fit bodies for but you got a builder right? Not too hard to cut them back to fit, it’s a hobby. The realism of locking diffs make it drive more under your command. Love to trail run until I get into trouble then lock the diffs as needed, most of the time locking the front is all that’s needed. If I was to go all out on a crawler I’d put a locking diff in the rear and spool the front, soo many times I need the front pulling to get in the best spot or just a bit better turning where a locked rear just pushes. Any Trx4 is awesome for the trail, scale or not soo serious crawling. They are simply amazing!!

I bought the Sport, and was so happy I bought a 2nd Sport. One for Trails....one for Crawling. So happy with the TRX4, and I have 5 Axial’s!

I was able to pick up the Blazer for $475. Looking forward to giving it a shot. I messed with a buddies SCX24 and got hooked so I grabbed the 1967 C10 as well. Thanks for the great content!!

I really enjoyed your breakdown of the TRX-4 series. I purchased the TRX-4 Tactical & added the clear/painted Defender Body. Then purchased the TRX-4 Assembly Kit & then added the Bronco Body, next will be the Sport Kit.

Really like your honesty style of review! You don’t sugarcoat or over emphasize. Good content👍

I have had the Tactical for 2 years. I just bought my wife the Sport and I have to say I’m completely jealous of its simplicity.

I bought the assembly kit for 365 for my son, I got the kit so he can learn and understand all the parts and components

I just got my first TRX 4 yesterday.i got the 79' bronco. Here in the UK it's a bit more money.£525 .but everything is more expensive here.not used it yet waiting for battery connector.cant wait to get it.before I had an FTX Fury and I must say that its pretty impressive for a budget crawler under £200 .but even though I've not used the bronco yet.ive fallen hard for it.and it was your bronco vid that helped me decide to buy it👍👍

I actually just picked up the trx4 assembly kit because I love to assemble kits and I picked up the bronco body I like it best. Wanted the two speed just for fun trail running.

Clear and honest review, not hyping it up. Thank you

I learn more from your videos than any videos out there. Keep up the good work. I just really enjoy the knowledge I learned from your videos

I love the way you do these videos. Very informative for me and I am thinking about a crawler and your info is helping me to decide. Well done!👍👌

awesome, I've been waiting for a good video about this

Traxxas fan here, i have the Defender and Merc g500, also a blue sport on order, thanks for the review.

Great video as usual... my first was the Tactical Unit ....its a monster now ...brass lower end and big power HH Revolver 1800....

Here in Australia, I have the TRX-4 Bronco.. I'm really happy with my choice. Though I did buy a spare body for regular use, the factory body is too nice to trash.

First was a Tactical not intending to keep the body, changed wheelbase and currently has an early Bronco body, the wife has the Bronco version and changed the body to a Jeep. Waiting for the sport kit which has been on back order for more than 2 months now.

Always get the unassembled kit. You won't regret learning.

Actually I know a guy who is close with the V.P. of Traxxas. He Put in a call for me about the Mercedes G 500 and he said it is coming this summer and it's held up by a license issue. Plus you can still order it from RC Mart and they will be shipping them to the US. Great Vid as always Thanks!

Clear as day! Thank you.

Excellent and really helped me know what I want to do with my money! I really appreciate your reviews!

I recently bought the trx4 Mercedes which isn't in this video. At the price with lights I think it's the best value if you want a 5-channel

I bought the k5 blazer with the traxx. So much fun.

The wheelbase of the Assembly Kit is 12.3".

I own a sport. It works for me. I took your advice some time ago, thanks.

Gosh didn't know there were 7 variants! Thank you for the video!

Returning to the world of RC older, and with kids. After watching this, and many other of these video's, I decided on the TRX4 Defender. I know it is the "wrong" wheelbase, has the lid mounted fender wells, and is too top heavy.....but ultimately, it was the one I wanted to see driving around in comparison to the other shells. I also felt the TRX4 with the two speed tranny would be the best option (both brand and model) to bring my kids into it. If this goes anywhere I am sure I will quickly jump into a kit from somewhere and invest in a competition grade rig. Thanks for your multiple videos that really let me dig into kit differences (again, both vendor and specific variant).

I'd just like to tell you I love your presentation style. On price I think that's a bit more arbitrary when upgrades are factored in. I'd say don't exceed 1000.00 yet expect to pay around 600.00 to 700.00 when chargers + batteries + light kits are also factored in. The 800.00 price point could be bumper upgrades + shocks + tires.

This really helped a lot deciding, thank you! I only have micro SCX24 so far, so planning on getting TRX-4. Based on your video I will go Sports KIT because I want nice crawling performance but also want to get my first KIT ever. Now the logical next step would be some nice video about choosing the right electronics which I know nothing of so far, having just few RTRs myself and being in a hobby for just a short while. Anyone could possibly point me in the right direction? Thank you for your time!

I have the assembly kit version with a Jeep body and I'm very pleased with it, however…. the sport kit does most things better and it costs a lot less! There is no "bad" TRX4, they're all good in their own way.

Enjoy all your videos, have learned alot. Own 2 Summits, Bronco TRX4, Mercedes Benz 6x6, and just bought a Traxx. Thanks for the helpful tips!! Keep them coming,..maybe review a Traxx?

I live for your videos thank you you're the man this helps me relieve stress I need that thanks again

Great info. really enjoy your videos. so informative and helpful, ty, keep 'em coming. I've got the Defender and really enjoy it when i get the chance to take it out, like you said, Here comes summer 👍

just saw the mercedes in a hobby store yesterday while picking up a couple upgrades here in connecticut. badass rig.

Great review very informative as always keep up the great videos

I like your honest opinions. looks like you are not directed by sentiment but by thinking rationally. well done.

I've recently put together a TRX4 Sport kit. Certainly a step up in performance compared to my old FTX Mauler. I'm using a Hobbywing 1080 ESC, with a 35kg servo, and the stock 21T 550 Traxxas Titan motor in the TRX4 Sport. Amazon alloy beadlocks, with the stock wheels, although with hair buns in the tyres rather than foams.

It’s definitely a great rc truck, I have the Bronco but changed the body to the Xtra speed Mitsubishi Pajero hard body still handles beautifully.

I'm a Brit so I went for the Defender in a sand colour. Only knew crawlers existed 6 weeks ago!!! Coincided with my birthday so now I own one. Looking for realism over ability but the latter is welcome. At the adding hinges, door handles, Camel decals, cargo nets etc stage at present. Will get round to lights and "performance" upgrades. I do have the ESS dual+ sound system that is great and hides the whirr of the motor (realism). Loving it all. Love your channel. By the way bought a slider kit and I cant work out what to do with the big rectangular piece that has the Velcro strap, any ideas welcome. Keep 'em coming. Thanks

Got a second hand Defender Green Edition because it's too pretty :),quite capable with few mods !

Great video. Thanks. For all your efforts.

Imma Ford guy so I bought the bronco. And I love it. It's my favorite truck so far. Now I'm because they made the bronco, and the blazer. I'm waiting for the ramcharger body version to come out to get my wife.

Always interesting. .thanks for sharing

I bought the Defender first, then I wanted the experience of building it so I went for the chassis assembly kit. I wanted the transmission and differential lock options.

I'm a novice. Bought both a Rustler 4x4 VXL and aTRX4 Sport in the last month. The TRX4; 'Red' is akin to therapy, The Rustler; 'Mr. Giggles' gives catharsis. Both seem to be so cleverly engineered they 'addict' the user as well as perform for them.

I got the sport rtr and love it

Great information I have the sport I like it have the gen8 to

I brought the Sport RTR Would have brought kit version but I didn’t know What motor or ESc and radio to buy so I took your advice and went with 2nd place sports That was a year ago now. Not one bit of trouble with her so I’m going to buy the Bronco this summer when we get released from lock down Thanks for your advice over the years take care Of your self and family Ps I’m not keen on the Traxxas 6x6 as the tracks I use are for 1/10th the 6x6 is just to big From Frank in Grt Britain 🇬🇧

Thanks for the video and comparison. Would you possibly do one now that the G500 is out in the US?

Danke , gut erklärt.

Great videos! Can you do a review on the TRX4 G500 Benz? Seems like a bunch of people already has it here in North America.

Thankyou for the great advice

Good review and explanation of the different TRX4 models and I agree with most of your assessments. I currently have the original Defender and a Bronco, and find the Bronco to be a great crawler, and while my Grandson has the Sport I enjoy having 2 speed trans and diff options. Where our opinions differ is that I think the Tactical is a great buy - I just picked one up for $360 which I plan to put the track set on (which require low gearing). Ugly body, but actually cheaper than the kit by the time you’re done. Anyway, good review.

"what the heck, why are they in the body?" I love this guy!

I went with the trx-4 bronco, I like the wheel wells built onto the chassis and it's more scale. Plus its a Ford 😁

Considering to get the Bronco. Great info. Thanks! Is the Bronco body lighter than the defender?

I maybe a bit crazy as I watched this video, then when strait out and purchased the Premium TRX-4 kit, plus the pre-painted Bronco body. Yes I know I paid extra to build it myself, but thats 50% of the fun of RC for me, and it was only £2 more here in the UK to do it that way, and I wanted the remote locking diffs as that was one of the key TRX-4 features for me as I am more interested in trail use with a little crawling while out on the trail rather than technical crawler stuff. But who knows maybe that will change after I have had some time to get use to what the TRX-4 offers, as I have always gone with Tamiya kits in the past, and even owned a second hand Tamiya Bruiser back in the mid 90's which was probably one of the first RC crawlers.

Just ordered the g500😁 Thinking a Jeep would be a nice addition to their lineup. Would love to see an early CJ 😛

Good information as usual! We have Bronco and Sport. I agree that in some situations Sport is even better. Bronco has the opportunity of programming by smartphone and with its 5 channel is really the more funny ! In my opinion Sport kit is too expensive considering it has no electronic: is better buying Sport and change electronic, keeping the stock one as spares in case of problems. Mercedes vs Bronco should be interesting because of wheel base and different tires: which are the best ?

I am currently using the traxxas summit for my rock crawling and my faster trail driving. And then when I just wanna have crazy fun I use my 1/16 scale E Revo.

Love my sport!! Next purchase will be the sport unassembled kit

This video is very useful for me~~!!^^

My dad bought the TRX4 chassis kit for my sun. Granddad en grandson are building together...

Hey man thanks for all the awesome content, one question, in your opinion which wheelbase is best or most versatile? Thanks

How do you obtain 9 or 10 trx4. Really enjoy your videos. I'm late to the party. This week got my first crawler scx10 2 ford f100. You inspire me. Thank you. You are the best on you tube.

Great info! I have none. Maybe one day!

Just bought the new Mercedes G wagon so far I like it

I bought my first traxxas yesterday and i went with the Tex sport. I have been use to axial scx honcho and the wraith I’m hoping i like the Trx sport and looking to see what’s out there for upgrades

After seeing the TRX4 on youtube for first time (and I believe it was on this channel) I wanted it so bad, that I wanted to have it next morning.. unfortunatelly it was a public holiday and the only guy who was willing to open his shop for me was "only" having a Sport and a Tactical. I went for the Tactical, since I wanted the complexity. I now have two more bodies - a Raptor body for crawling and still scale looking (it is fantastic actually) and I green Defender limited with all possible scale accessoires.. put at least 100 hours of work on my TRX.. very satisfying! Do you put any wheel weight on your Sports? In one of your videos you said that around 150g wheel gets you in the business.. mine are a havier - around 230g and I consider lowering the weight or completely getting rid of it. Thanks for the cool videos!!

very usefull video! Than you!

Super cool content

Nice video but can you show us the upgrade part that we can upgrade in trx and also how to connect the lights and stuff👍🏼👌🏻

Went with the Sport kit.. already changing things. I want the Bronco too..

oh good infomation!!

I got the defender and i think that it is the best looking still, and i love that it is top heavy because i'm more into trail driving. take a look at my movies on "sir hauge" inhere. by the way i love your slowmotion driving with your defender.

Happy with the Bronco 😎

I bought the trx4 Blazer red and black body. it looks sharp as hell and I bought it for the body. I almost bought the Bronco but for me the Blazer looks better.

Great video as always👍 but G500 is missing, i would not say trx-4 sport is 2 channel, it does not have any electronics, so it depends on what you put in it. 🤓

Aw c’mon, just when I thought there was a link for the Trx4 Sport kit! That’s the one I want! 😩⌛️

I got the traxxas mercadies and all my friends have trx-4 and it gets around the best I think.

Defender, yes, but I still want the blazer next!

tactical for me !! than you for you break down

I'm more into scale & have the Bronco with an interior, driver & dog (gotta have a dog!). Ran it in Moab with our 1:1 Jeeps & had a blast. No issues with all the extra features.

I want the defender just because I’m my opinion it looks the best and unlocking diffs.

How would you compare the new Bronco to all these? From another of your videos, I understood although it's the same already-milked chassis, but with significant upgrades.

I own the defender love it

Random fact - Can watch your video an 1.25x speed without being noticable. I think I'm gonna get a sport kit.

Defender and I love it

Bronco and I love!!

You need to see the new redcat clawback1/5scale crawler it also has 4ws.

Very cool

Why not the assembly Kit? Seems like it has all the options? I thought it would be the best, can you explain?

Coool!!

I've just finished a builders kit but am reluctant to shell out on a bronco body (which seems to be the only one that fits the stock wheel well/fenders). What decent options are available that mean I don't have to cut the well/fenders or buy new shock towers? Really appreciate any help/advice. 👍
