Looks good bronco~ Nice upgrade work~! Like and subbed :D

[@billderas3420]

The ProTec 3S 4100 lipo battery fits perfectly in the TRX4's front tray that comes with the inner fender option. This battery placement really helps with crawling up extreme angles. With the battery in front you can remove the standard TRX4 battery tray.

[@billderas3420]

Forgot to say that one of my TRX4s does still have the Bowhouse battery tray in it for trailing. Can switch battery locations as conditions dictate.

An excellent video, greetings from Brazil!

Excellent video! Greetings from Brazil!

[@seaeyeare]

2:15 "You have to change you arm, the arm is this one right here. It's a plastic arm" **queue close up of wheel hub** .. :D ACTUALLY almost fell off my chair laughing. Not sure if that was intentional but it was so good! haha love it!

[@high-octane-stunts86]

Congrats on 100k

[@imemovengeance]

I'm glad I found your channel

[@RCReviewChannel]

Right on. Appreciate it very much.

[@outcastrc8052]

Thanks for these tips! Great stuff!! Mine is on order and should be to me in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to enjoying my first Traxxas crawler!!

[@PR-cl6qf]

I really like your videos. Many thanks.

[@jasonchadney7850]

With vented tires can you still go through mud and water or will that ruin the tires/foam?

[@michaelrajca6043]

great videos. my first crawler is the trx4 bronco and i have done many of the updates you reccommend i.e. traxxas servo and horn, hyrax tires w beadlocks and traxxas bec kit. i didnt catch what brand and size battery will fit in the front bay tho. what brand do you suggest?

[@johnnyrainscustomrc]

Really enjoyed your upgrade vids mate cheers

[@wgmainline9812]

Thank You for the great informative videos!!!

[@samintrepid]

Thank for this upgrade my friend you have the best channel, only real thing no bla bla bla :)

[@robminzey8996]

Do you have a problem with front bumper coming loose

[@scottderuyter6627]

Who makes the vintage light blue bronco body in the first vid you showed?1:10

[@jeffveldstra6945]

Where do I get that classic bronco body you are showing

[@SwedenRCAdventure]

Good info :D so can't wait until mine is here now :D thank you !

[@rcaction6866]

I want one! Got my feet wet with the Axial SCX24 and am hooked.

[@thatsmyrc]

Very good choice of 5 upgrading options 👍🏼 I run the savox 1230 servos with external castle creations BEC at 6Volts for max performance of that servo without dangering of overpowering the micro servos which run at 6Volts. Also hyrax with 2 stage foams 😁 the 3 peice aluminum bead locks from g-made are the best weighted wheels for the price I have came across so far. That’s a huge gain also for pound to the ground weight. Like 45/50$?

[@RCReviewChannel]

I don't have a BEC yet. What kind of difference does it make to the servos?

[@IDriveAnAudi]

Without an external BEC, a servo like the Savox will draw too much current for the stock ESC's internal BEC to provide. If you don't use one, you'll have brownouts or just burn out your stock ESC.

[@sebapise]

Hi! Great video! Wich servo can I install without doing any modification bisides the metal arm? Its just for home use. Thank you!

[@timmende03081981]

Hi just 2 short questions: 1. The car with the light-blue body, is it a TRX4 Chassis as well? 2 If yes, what kind of body is it? Many thanks for your feedback and kind regards Tim

[@richdoh6483]

I like the Pitbull Rock Beast xl tires, but the foams are kinda hard.

[@gregoryduvall4758]

When changing servo.. I have to change the "arm"? Do you mean the servo horn? Or something else?

[@ka4172]

Put in tires "Lazer Foams" or the new A.L.T Foams from RC HP.

[@runnerbaba]

a.l.t. foams are the best

[@brianbrigg57]

I like the video but your comment about the lighter body weight ignores the fact that the other 2 TRX-4 models have the inner fenders attached to the body while the Bronco version leaves these attached to the chassis. The Defender and the Tactical both have the bolt on flares which adds a bit but I'd like to see a comparison of the bodies including the weight of the inner fenders?

[@RCReviewChannel]

Brian Brigg good insight

[@CharlieFultonSC]

The drag brake is on by default btw. Default mode is “trail mode” “added drag brake when throttle trigger is at neutral.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Correct. It's set at 50%. Should be at 80% or 100%

[@richdoh6483]

Wondering if upgrading the steering servo bracket, gearbox mount and rear chassis brace to aluminum parts is worth the cost.

[@saadalabbad5484]

Do all these upgrades apply to the trx4 blazer model ?Any suggestion for a sound kit? many thanks for this great channel!

[@harveynoakes9498]

How do you run your light system off a separate battery. I have tried but they will not turn on. Any advice. Thanks

[@abc-yl7jf]

Is this rc water proof?

[@Dprill95]

are you jang from URC

[@MRGAMER-qm3qh]

Miss him bro

[@WonTONgaming218]

Is the bronco chassis frame shorter or just the links?

[@blakethompson8256]

Where did you get that 73 bronco body at?

[@Boombastick17]

Francis, thanks for the awesome videos. Does the Animos servo you added in the links require a BEC? If so isn't it easire to just update the ESC? I see people using the Hobbywing 1080 instead. What would you recommend? Thank you :)

[@zeekmx1970]

I know this is going to sound bizarre. You suddenly realize you should have gotten the black body. I'm getting the black body. I see you didn't do anything stupid to the stock look.

[@karenaylward6817]

I like your no bs to the point review of the bronco you going to do interior for it ?

[@RCReviewChannel]

I would love to! Suggestions please as I have experience on interiors

[@monkfry]

Lee Majors, The Fall Guy driving lol. I think he had a GMC pickup though. Excellent info!

[@need4drift]

Thank you bro. ;)

[@devil262786]

My question is why buy it then if you have to upgrade every freaking part of comes with the damn car

[@RCReviewChannel]

Because it's fun! If it's not fun, leave it alone or do all the free tuning upgrades to make run optimally.

[@JeepSheep]

Hey again, RC Review. If I am looking to mount the Proline Hilux SR5 body, I know I need the shock tower mounts and to remove the inner fenders. Do you know what else/what other parts I need? A new rear body mount, correct? Thanks!

[@RCReviewChannel]

That's all you need. You can just cut your old body mounts to lower it but better if you can buy new ones. Shock towers are here: snp.link/caefcfe5

[@leejoyner4440]

links to the up grades?

[@TestTubeBuddies]

LINKS TO THE UPGRADES???

[@nomusicrc]

It’s called sensored brushless

[@nomusicrc]

Dave Hart I like it brushed because of the control I have 2 20 year sensored 3.5 Novak’s so I haven’t looked at any in years I bought a summit and e revo recently both brushed for going slow but I do love the speed of my XMAXX so if I were to buy one I would look at castle

[@AlfonsopPreciadoGonzaleZ]

Those RC crawler suvtruck was Made to people dadies grandpa & retired people

[@kokyong2011]

Could you advise the dimension clearance provided for the front lipo? I ordered my bronco, just wanna get the lipo while waiting for it to arrive in 2 weeks :)

[@RCReviewChannel]

9cm by 4.5cm is ideal to lay flat on the front battery compartment.

[@DRIVETERRAIN]

Can you do this same video for trx4 g500

[@RCReviewChannel]

We don't have that vehicle but the the G600 is identical to the Bronco, except for the lexan body and tires. So all these upgrades are applicable.

[@DRIVETERRAIN]

@@RCReviewChannel OK THANKYOU

[@steveforrest8]

Thank you, great advice. Can you post a link for the Arm so I'm sure I order the right one?

[@TJSTEDMAN]

Did you have any tire wobble? 2 of my tires wobble real bad out of the box.

[@RCReviewChannel]

No, 4 sets already, no wobble.

[@TJSTEDMAN]

I'll have to call traxxas, thank you

[@ridef1rst]

Bring this to Sea Otter!

[@michaelrajca6043]

what kind of tires are they and what size. can i keep my stock wheels?

[@RCReviewChannel]

Best upgrade tires are Proline Hyrax 1.9 wheel size. Tire diameter is 4.7 inches. Cannot really use the stock wheels since the original tires are glued on.

Any opinion on the high clearance stainless suspension links?

[@RCReviewChannel]

No, but we will research it. Samix is a good company but this doesn't need to be titanium.. Nice bend for clearance. www.amainhobbies.com/samix-traxxas-trx4-titanium-link-kit-10-samtrx4-5025fls/p702640

[@monkfry]

Kind of what I was thinking, there’s a stainless high clearance set on eBay for $40 I think I’ll order. Liking this truck so far but a little disappointed in the body material. Mine arrived cracked all the way up the rear quarter panel out of the box. The box itself was mint. No crushes, creases etc.. It feels a lot harder than the standard lexan bodies were used to but seems like it’ll be far more susceptible to breaking. Very thin in some areas as well. I’ve contacted Traxxas, sent photos and i’ll see what they’re going to do about it. For the amount of money I’ve given them in the past on other RCs I think they should just send me a new body. Actually, not even for that fact but because of the base price of this RC and this issue upon receipt of the (brand new) vehicle. I literally drove it 2’ in my living room and noticed it as it was driving away. The back of the roof was also scuffed up.

[@jesseboombatts8399]

Sooooo, what happened? We need an update sir!!!

[@keithntammy]

Lots of good upgrades, Now all you have to do is get rid of those ugly body clips. Can't believe Traxxas could design and build such a beautiful well functioning truck and still hold the body on with thouse hideous clips.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Most definitely!!!!!!
