Thanks for always making videos in high quality without any annoying music or too fast switching between the scenes.

[@mrcollie242]

Thank you for the video, it defiantly helped me decide which crawler options to pick up from you guys.

[@RednX69]

All traxxas needs to make for it now are; independent front suspension kit (for ultra scale enthusiasts), and release an interior kit too or again, a soft top body option with removable doors!! Personally, I'd love to see those, who else?

[@zonegamma8197]

always good vieos thanks a lot

[@sasquatchcrew]

I have one of these Its got the differential locking mechanisms and thats cool Sometimes gets a little top heavy... I just saw they have the tracks kit. very tempting for snow. At first I figured a slow crawling RC car would be great to start out with because I don't figure I will break it nearly as much as the Traxxas Maxx I also just bought (a few days after). At least now I have two vehicles, in case one breaks. Best to start out slow I guess. lol My old T-Maxx 2.5 is dead. needs tons of maintenance... I want the 3.3 nitro, but found out it doesn't have reverse in these new models. Bummer? I suppose. most people didn't like it. I never ran the 2.5 enough as a kid to grenade my tranny with reverse lol.

[@effisher95]

I'm sure Traxxas should have done a front independent suspension for the new Bronco. They already have such a car. That would be a great update for the TRX4 and they could produce many more TRX4-based cars with independent front suspension. It could be new Geländewagen, Hummer H2, Ram Rebel TRX, F150 Raptor and something like that.

[@AntilleanConfederation]

I would say from my experience with the trx4 platform that adding some weight to the axles & some better tires and foams will make a big difference in its climbing abilities but does pretty good in stock form.

[@StraightUpRC]

Not a bad model. Just wish we could get some more non-mainstream items from Traxxas. but I think they let after-market companies handle all that I guess... o well.

[@anotherstar8125]

Noob question... can I still use Traxxas Link to control this and my Rustler 4x4 VXL, and retain all functions, if I change out the servos and ESCs to a different brand? My understanding is that I can so long as I keep the receiver (TQi), please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

That's a good question. If you swap out the ESC to a non-Traxxas unit, you will probably lose all telemetry data, voltages, temps, etc. But the Traxxas Link will still provide help with transmitter settings, like setting your end points. We haven't tested this so I can't say exactly what will happen, but this is my best guess. -Brett

[@anotherstar8125]

what would I need to do to get a TRX-4 Sport to have the rear drag brake function of the 2021 Bronco?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

You're TRX4 Sport should have the same drag break as the Bronco because it's a setting of the Electronic Speed Controller (ESC), and it is programmable but maybe it's turned down on your truck. You can dial up or down the drag break strength through the programming menu, outlined in your manual. If you call Traxxas, they can walk you through the procedure. -Brett

[@trystanmarshall1867]

I have 3 lipo batteries with deans connectors on them could I chop the traxxas connector off the ESC and install a deans onto it so my 3 batteries will work and I don't have to buy any adapter or batteries

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Removing the ESC connector to solder a new one is very common. Just be sure not to use LiPo's bigger than 4S with the Deans/T-Style connector, as it is not as robust as the iD. -Brett

@CoderMan, Traxxas does not sell kits. RTR at high prices. Proprietary radio, transmitter and esc. Like buying a full size vehicle, you take a bath on purchase.
