What rims and tires are those they look sick

[@VS666]

This set up should have come in the monster trucks to begin with those damn things are so slow they can barely hit a jump taller than themselves. Traxxas is always happy to sell you a solution to a problem they create 😅

[@LMH710]

Ehh I’ll take the injora viper instead cheaper and probably better

[@EriMCardenasRC]

I bet even Furitek is cheaper than TRX

[@redwoodrc101]

Well, you don't have to replace your transmitter with this one so the price isn't that far off. You also get to keep the lighting functionality, you get an extra channel for when they inevitably drop a servo mount for the 2speed, and you don't have to find a place to mount a separate receiver... 🤷‍♂️

[@earthcoloredeyes5043]

Yes we all know how dependable the traxxas electrics are.

[@northdakotakid]

​@@earthcoloredeyes5043 I've never had an issue with electronics? I've had Traxxas since 1998.

@@northdakotakid lucky you to have never experienced the lights of death.

[@richiesavino9653]

Traxxas business practices? What are you referring to 😂 . Way overpriced in my opinion

[@RiceCrisp320]

Too much money vs competitors and if I'm replacing the ESC I'm ditching the radio and batteries.

[@johngookinsable]

would the cost of the additional radio and receiver offset the extra price of the combo? just curious

[@EriMCardenasRC]

Injora Brushed Esc should do the job and a Eco Power Servo

[@thisisbenji90]

I mean being able to use the stock batteries and transmitter seems to be the big selling point here. It’s very much a stock looking install as compared to the aftermarket deals.

[@RiceCrisp320]

@@johngookinsable possibly but there's a lot of value to me to be able to run whatever batteries I choose and to have at the very least end point adjustment on the steering. Not to mention the added channels to control. I don't think it's a bad set up it's just the iPhone of the RC world. It's really hard to break out of the Traxxas ecosystem...🤷

[@RiceCrisp320]

Idk I'm more of a 10th scale guy so these whole vehicle electronics setups kinda make me itch😂 I like flexibility to change things and Traxxas makes it so I pretty much have to change everything or nothing

[@maherkahala5269]

Proper review. Unlike mark sana Maria just trying to advertise for Traxxas

[@RCfanAddict]

Hopefully you get your hands on the new Hobbywing mini24 combo! There are much more features and tunings on the Hobbywing. Traxxas combo is too expensive and no ability to tune

[@VERBALUS]

these traxxas plugs 😭😊

[@reallifetony2642]

I need that set up for my TRX 4M bronco

[@DanBrando]

You really do

[@AnyAssumptionBanter]

the cost is a little high for keeping the stock radio which isn't that good, no changes to the bec, and no 3s. the options for this don't match the market.

[@2fmrc]

Agree 100%

[@Hirshfelder]

I heard traxxas just rebranded the mofo rc brushless motor

[@thudtrades1850]

I hope so! Good for Mofo! He has great stuff!

[@johnmirth7161]

just got injora fat viper brushless times 2 .....THANKS FOR ALL YOUR GREAT VIDEOS .......QUESTION ????ARE YOU ON TEAM JESUS OR TEAM ON WORLD

[@nj2033]

Injora now have multiple Brushless setups for the TRX4M, and Hobbywing have just released a Fusion Mini 16 and a brushless ESC and Motor for the TRX4M... All cheaper and will be 100% better than this Traxxas version. The only thing this Traxxas version will have is compatibility with their Pro light kit (by design to make you buy this Traxxas version)

[@BetriebAnin]

Just like the 2 speed gearbox, you can get better aftermarket ones for CHEAPER.

[@jakethole]

Mine seams to cog a lot while crawling with the standard gears. I was hoping to have more wheel speed and good crawling but the Furitek and Injora both seem smoother.

[@dua4436]

I got a 2 speed transmission from traxxas with furitek micro comodo works great a lot of torque on low speed and a much more speed on 2nd gear

[@dylanwhite6539]

I still don’t know how to feel about an alleged “FOC” esc that lacks a sensor

[@RCCrawlerz209]

As cool as this is, I already have a system I'm putting into my TRX4M Bronco.....however, I 'may' get this for my K10...maybe. lol 😅 It does look pretty good though, will admit.

[@MtOlympusRC]

Injora may be less expensive and so is furitek by a few bucks but I’ll take one of these because they are waterproof.

[@thudtrades1850]

Cool vid! I must say in the interest of timing, Traxxas is late.. Only thing traxxas on my 4m's is the battery and the body... Traxxas aftermarket is terrible on business principles alone, you can't sue people for meeting a need and then trying to monopolize the need with overpriced, sub-par parts..... You can get better, cheaper... somewhere else. Last traxxas product I will ever buy.

[@petejones6827]

if ya want a traxxas just build one out of aftermarket parts lol

[@ste.p]

It’s good but I am pleased I got the Furitek Unity pro. I have no cogging, an app to tune it and 3s Capability. Is the Traxxas outrunner waterproof?

[@AlessandroGarabaghi]

manual says the system is water proof so id assume yes.

[@chadoliver5160]

Wow! It’s impressive but that’s a bit high priced. The convenience does count for something but I’m not sure it’s worth that much. I’d have to test it myself first to see if there are really any true advantages. Awesome review as always.

[@thisisbenji90]

I just put this setup in my TRX4MT with high speed gears. Things rippin wheelies and doing back flips now.

[@lounger75]

Did you have to make any other updates (like metal driveshafts or axle gears)? I’m looking to do the same thing to a TRX4MT and wondering what else I would need beyond just the motor and ESC. Have the 2 speed transmission but everything else is stock.

[@thisisbenji90]

@@lounger75 I did high speed transmission gears, metal axle gears, and it’ll need metal driveshafts as well but I haven’t done that yet.

[@lounger75]

@@thisisbenji90 Thanks, really helpful!

[@wvlfkvnt]

They knocked it out of the park compared to Axials attempt with the SCX24.

[@jeffmackovitch9987]

Nice product traxxas. I want this for my monster truck. Instructions say that 3rd channel can be used to shift 2 speed transmission! Yes please!!!

[@johnmirth7161]

THE 1/10 TRAXXAS HIGH TRAIL SPORT IS RUNNIG LIKE A.. DREAM ....HAVE BEEN DRIVEING VERY HARD IN WATER. ROLLING DOWN HILLS , KEEPING IT STOCK ........THANKS FOR ALL YOU GREAT WORK

[@slomofan2070]

Looks great, what do you think about the power, will the Cedar have more power? The Cedar will have 120W 😊

[@jmaclaren4147]

Priced this an traxxas is going to price themselves out of business. Switching to Arrma

[@INSIDIOUS-ONE]

To bad its not 2-3s!

[@Fullspeedrc509]

Idk about this one I have had any luck with Traxxas electronics recently

[@johnmirth7161]

ONLY THING ABOUT THE TRAXXAS CONTROLER YOU CAN NOT AJUST ANYTHING SERVO SPEED ....GOT THE CHEAP INJORA WORKS WELL FOR THE 1/18 BUILDS .....THE BRUSHLESS INJORA WOULD NOT WORK WHEN I PUT THE TOGGLES TO 7.4 V I PUT IT BACK TO 6 V AND RUN THE 7.4 V IT WORKS WELL..

[@drewleon6217]

I agree with you about the simplicity on keeping it all Traxxas as compared to the other aftermarket companies for the TRX4M. Thanks for a good video. 👍

[@Father450X]

I installed the traxxas brushless power system in my Trx4m F150 High Trail today. Mine has the Treal brass knuckles,c hubs and rear counterweights. I think it is an awesome upgrade. I did use the crawler gears since I only have the single speed transmission but easy to do and worth every penny for myself.

[@KPtain_RC]

Excellent Review, nice and smooth driving. 👌

[@bigkennyg.621]

Picked up one this evening and put it in my mt with speed gears and it’s absurd lol just a wheely machine

[@klaboemlol]

Awesome video. I'm eager to see how it does under load compared to the Injora set, or even the Furitek Torpedo, as it's more in that price range. Did you by any chance do a submarine test? I admit I like crawling from rocks to mud. :)

[@MostlyRCSlovakia]

The pricing is too high. I got the Furitek kit with the transmitter and the venom motor for cheaper...but the downside is that I cannot use the light kit. So with this I am kinda meh. Overpriced as expected, but not too much...

[@Casitascrawlers]

How would you compare it to the Injora brushless system?

[@thelurker9472]

Is there another pinion with the motor? Wondering if it will work with the low range Traxxas transmission.

[@spinebrackes1667]

I know im only 3 minutes and 51 seconds in the video, but is the motor waterproof? And can you put the munus two speed on it now that the Radio/receiver is different and has more Outlets

[@earthcoloredeyes5043]

They got tired of Furitek lol! Water proof? Outrunners are terrible for outdoor use, water, snow, mud, dirt, are all out runner killers.

[@gibsonlife573]

I might have to pass on this one boy I didn't know mofo just drop all kinds of motors also

[@jbsir1]

Will this fit on the injora carbon lcg chassis for the trx4m?

[@vdel9036]

You chose a tee-shirt with "nothing works" written on to present the last Traxxas product.😄

[@theoalbert897]

Really need to make sure you know the motor is what makes the noise, the firmware on the esc is what causes the loud whine but it is the motor that creates the noise even the beeps when you turn it on

[@patrickkerns2022]

im new to rc never touched the inside of one.i can remove screws lol do you think i would have any issues doing this mod??getting traxxas high trail or redcat ascent leaning towards the ascent but like the looks of traxxas better thanks for the video

[@Reddragondesign]

Great Video, The system looks pretty dang good. I hope they make a new TRX4M kit with the brushless setup and the 2-speed stock.

[@WOLFTRAXRC]

Misti recently got the red hardbody she will have definitely upgrade.

[@tarik916]

I just installed this yesterday and the low speed is great on flat ground, but I have an extreme amount of cogging when the obstacles get steep (with the high-speed gears). Other than that, the speed and the fact that it is waterproof and plug-n-play is awesome.

[@greggrube2948]

Great little setup. Awesome video Adam 👌

[@starguy14]

I was wondering if it normal for the motor to get too hot to touch if you drive 1 foot forward on low gear going very slow like 10% throttle or less?

[@austnsauce2543]

I’m really curious about the new hobby wing fusion for the utb18

[@RyanLongRc]

same and the new QuicRun WP mini24 combo

[@shawnrichardson118]

Beautiful slow crawl 🤘✌️

[@timbobs721]

A pretty nice system

[@AGarland.]

I just finished the install on my F 150 MT. Pulls wheelies now. So much faster. It finally acts like a monster truck. I knew I should have ordered 2 of them. You can't beat plug and play. Cheaper options are out there but... 15 minutes and 2 buttons, I'm pulling wheelies on vinyl flooring. Pricey, yes. Is it worth it? I should have got 2. Great video.
