In this video I give an update on the mods and upgrades I've done to our Traxxas TRX 4M Bronco! Upgrades are coming fast and furious, and this thing is evolving on the daily, but I wanted to share the progress so far! Some highlights include upgraded double barrel shocks, chopped fenders, high clearance linkage, and more! Check out the video to see how it performs!

I’ve loved RC’s since i was little with my first cars The Hornet and RC10 Aluminum 😁 I’ve been watching the RC rock crawler videos and checking out what ones are out there and I’m loving the Traxxas 1/18 TRX-4M . I’m picking one up this week at my hobby store. I like your 2.1 setup a lot. If its not asking to much could you post the parts and links to the upgrades you did? There’s some I’m having trouble finding. Joe RC’s chassis kit, the steel driveshaft, which size Flubber Stufferz Slyme Ballz tire inserts just to name a few. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. It’s been easily 20 yrs since I’ve touched an RC car, this whole RTR thing is new to me as well lol😂

Seems like people are jumping on the Furitek since they’re first on the scene with a brushless motor.

These are powerhobby 58mm. I got them from their ebay store.

I bought the shocks but the screws they sent with do not work, and the original do not fit. What did you use?

Is it just me or does the body come off too easily on this truck? It's my first crawler so I don't have anything to compare it to.

As long as it doesn’t come off too easy unintentionally! It does come off easy, which is nice, but it should still be secure when fastened

U could put a foam piece behind clip so body is harder to come off.

Wow it is very capable. Mine is mostly stock. On day 3 I stripped the plastic gears in my servo. Soon after that my drive shaft broke. Then my ESC burned out. Traxxas is sending me another one under warranty which is nice but they are out of stock. Seems to me like they build these to fail so they can sell upgrades. I'm really disappointed in mine so far. I am not abusing it. Just climbing rocks. I thought it was designed to do that.

Sorry to hear that! My sons servo recently stripped but that’s the only issue we’ve had. I hope your next one treats you better!

Mehh , looks un scale. Are you just going for performance? Lol where's the fenders? Hard to believe people think that looks good but we make them how we want em!

Oh yea, I left the scale look behind in this one, which I am okay with. I like a blend of performance and aesthetics, and that oftentimes does not appear truly scale. I cut the fender flares off to make room for the big tires. I will likely keep my sons Defender close to stock to maintain a scale overlander look. The bronco will push the envelope for performance.
