My son & I just got a pair of these. We love them & aren’t having any issues. I personally think it’s a fantastic all around truck. Don’t think you could ask much more from the size that it is. Only thing I’m thinking of doing is weigh inserts (maybe copper barrels) in the wheels. Two trucks & four batteries for a great father/ son day out. Highly recommend these trucks.

Thanks very much 👍 I like the body, but found it a bit annoying to use, especially how bindy the drive train is. I tried to mud it on the weekend and it was useless! 🤣🤦

@@DoURC My steering started binding badly too after my first deep water crossing. Took out the front axle shafts, cleaned it out, and lubed up the ball part with grease, and then oiled the bushings. more or less solved the issue for me, good luck!

Nice review mate i just got mine yesterday i waited around for the brown version which is beautiful btw its a very nice brown color these are not crawlers mate they are full blown trail rigs and thats how we should use em i rock crawled with mine with full upgrades and brass and it does seem to stay more planted than it is stock and it doesn't tip over as easily u really gotta crack that turn hard for it to tip once u get all the metal gearing bearings and brass it should stay more planted and handle better in trailing situations 👍

@DoURC 7 ай бұрын

Thanks very much 👍 Yeah I get its meant to be a trail truck, but tbh even for that out the box it's not great. I tried to take it for a mud run on Saturday and it was pretty much useless tbh. I know I'll need to upgrade it, that's why I bought it, but out the box it's a bit pants tbh, especially considering the price! 🤦

I just bought one and I love it. My 2 year old also loves it. It's durable enough for him and the way it climbs is incredible. $185 after tax is a little steep for a 1/18th but I was tired of going through amazon rc cars for $25 a piece and them only lasting a couple days.

Good honest review. I have really liked my TRX4M. I also really like the look of high trail version. But at that price there is some very stiff competition with many more features. Thanks for a great video. 👍

@DoURC 7 ай бұрын

Thanks very much 👍 Yeah I wanted to really like it and love the body, but the out the box performance isn't great, especially considering the price and the brand. Traxxas could have done such a better job imo. They call it the High Trail, but tbh it still experiences a lot of the normal trx4m ground clearance issues. With upgrades I'm sure it'll be much better, but there's 100% better rtr's on the market for less money. 👍

@stevelockhart1648 6 ай бұрын

Got the trx4 f150 for xmess. Thinking about a smaller rig as well. Not overly sold on the quality off the trx4m. What others do you feel has better gear for approx same cost?

@DoURC 6 ай бұрын

@stevelockhart1648 Yeah there's such a difference between the trx4 and trx4m. Such a shame they didn't put the same effort into the trx4m. I'd recommend either the FCX18 or FCX24, both much better performance and value for money. I have comparison videos in my Mini Crawlers playlist. 👍

@DoURC 5 ай бұрын

Think the FCX18 would walk all over it tbh, as it did the trx4m Defender. From a performance point of view, the high trail is worse as its got an even higher centre of gravity. 👍 I'd definitely pick the FCX18 over this, even with it modified in its current Mega Truck form. 👍
