Honest Review of the Traxxas Trx4mt Mini monster truck does the compare to Losi Mini LMT

We unbox the new Traxxas Mini Trx4-mt monster truck then see what its all about during a test drive.

[@tboyahoy8906]

Honestly I think this product is for people who love monster trucks more than for people who love rc cars. You will never get as much performance out of this as the lmt but I don’t really think you can compare the 2. I think these cars are for two separate markets of the rc hobby. Both are cool personally the lmt fits me more but the traxxas might fit someone more who is into those old cars. And really you can just add power to it lol

[@cheezmo2k]

It’s not a race car. It’s just fun to take camping or to the park. It’s also fun just driving through the house. It’s only $200.

[@cheezmo2k]

I’m not sure why there is all the hate on this one. I just bought it and it is tons of fun out of the box. I think there are a lot of bandwagon haters who haven’t even looked at it let alone tried one.

[@truerc]

It's very much like a hate cult. This is $70 less than a Losi, with more affordable parts that will be around much longer. And Traxxas is the most American rc brand. So it's especially funny seeing Americans hating.

[@Hoss58]

Amen.😅

[@cheezmo2k]

Agree. It’s a great truck for the price. Enjoy

[@Freakeye_RC]

Sorry guys.. Coming from someone who has multiple Traxxas vehicles that I love…this thing is crap when comparing performance to other minis in its class and price range.I won’t be spending money to find out on this one…I can take the tires off my Smasher and put them on my 4m High Trail and have this

[@johnnyhotshoe1292]

Damn that trx4mt-squeek toy makes a fms smasher look supercharged! Thanks for the content!

Thanks for watching

[@JT-6s]

Thank you for the honest review. You guys always keep it real.

[@nocontrolrc8290]

Thanks for watching. we appreciate it

[@ellisb1451]

The original monster trucks were not much different 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Hoss58]

I hate to see everybody hate on this! Id love to have one.cant afford it now .i agree its slow they have a high speed gear set for 5.00.im a huge ford fan anyways.since its so hcg,if it ran 100 mph it would be a train wreck to drive .theirs a programmable setting on the esc.

[@nocontrolrc8290]

We put high speed gears in it and opened up the esc for the next video. All we got was 6 mph. Plain and simple, it just needs a bigger motor. Believe me, I wish it was better.

[@ectorvalle4059]

​@@nocontrolrc8290mofo Big Block will increase speed and the FMS speed motor is even faster! That's if anyone is interested in keeping the ESC stock and just upgrading the motor for more performance. (Cheapest route).

[@JUSTHAVEFUNRC]

@@ectorvalle4059the stock ecm may cut out at full throttle while steering. With the crawl gears and an injora 180 motor with a decent servo and a little weight they brown out sometimes.

[@justinluczak5611]

I feel like this with the 370 inJora motor and the Meus 13.17 overdrive steel gears and some 53 mm shocks this could be sick . But then you’ve spent $200 trx3mt $16 Meus gears $46 2 sets of 53 mm inJora shocks $39 inJora 370 $304 Still temped because I like my trx4ms but the losi is a much better deal

[@nocontrolrc8290]

It's hard to beat the mini lmt. But we're going to make this truck perform. Stay tuned, and thanks for watching

[@ectorvalle4059]

No matter what it is, people will spend money on mods wether it needs it or not! Right?

[@alankowalski8781]

Finally somebody who doesn’t blow Traxxas at every single release

[@nocontrolrc8290]

Thanks for watching

[@JUMBOs-RC]

I have no problem with them using this chassis, but they needed to at least include a faster motor, open diffs, and classic chevron tractor tires proper for this era monster truck... (I'll give them a pass on using a short bed even though the original bigfoot is a long bed truck)

[@ejlucas93]

I agree. The mini lmt is a lot better truck! But that Bigfoot body is calling me lol

[@nocontrolrc8290]

I hear you, and with a power upgrade, it will be a good truck

[@thisisbenji90]

Honestly, I’m not sure why the lack of speed is such a problem. This is absolutely perfect for my three year old, any more power and then it’s too fast. I have a bunch of faster cars and even on 50% they’re too fast. We’ve tried Walmart trucks, but those suck too because they get stuck on grass.

[@devdrc]

Agreed!

[@yobtnirp]

This is really cool, however for $200 you could also buy a stampede

[@nocontrolrc8290]

Or the Arrma gorgon with an extra battery

[@EMPTYPOCKETSRC]

Good job, it is to bad that thing is so slow.

[@nocontrolrc8290]

I wish it was more powerful if it was they would have had a hit. But just fell short. Thanks for watching

[@karldwilkerson]

Check out videos of the original Big Foot, which this was modeled after. It was not a fast truck, it did nowhere near the stunts the new generation monster trucks are doing now. That’s what bashers are for.🤔

[@jamesdavis4896]

I got one, yes it slow uder power tires could be Larger and wiithout big foot stickers, looks that all it have oh yah no stickers looks well

[@user-zw6pv3dz9c]

I like the idea but it is ripe for the Furitek godzilla motor and micro stellar trans.

[@CLMcrawlers]

👍🏼

[@petejones6827]

you didnt have to buy one thats bad consumerism you shouldnt buy a bad product just to have it that tells them to make more bad products cause it doesnt matter if the consumer is happy cause they bought it anyways. how people cannot see this is crazy the company is not there to make you happy its there to sell products how you make them make products that make you happy is only buy the products that lead them down the path of making good fun products that make you happy.

[@nocontrolrc8290]

Without buying one, we would not be able to give our followers information for them to make an educated purchase. Thanks for watching

[@petejones6827]

@@nocontrolrc8290 i can agree with that. good vids just a view i have i understand your reasoning it just seems like alot of consumers these days buy products and complain but never lead to get the change they want

[@raquelsroom]

​@@petejones6827not true.. There are companies that will change their products because of customer feedback.. Not long ago redcat had issues with one of their new rc's and literally in less than a month they redesigned the parts people complained about and sent free replacements

[@petejones6827]

@@raquelsroom thats because they got alot of returns and with bad reviews and returns comes loss in sales this is predicted by good companies but you get brands like traxxas that know they have a fan base that buys them no matter what and so they get away with these things they have a bigger market share than redcat so to compete redcat has better service this proves my point perfectly. if consumers dont vote with thier money they dont get things fixed. redcat consumers voiced their opinions with returns and guess what redcat said oh shit we need to fix this now. fms did the same thing not long ago with plastic portal gears. so many people called and returned they had no choice but to jump onto a fix because there is no way they have the cash on hand to return the majority of consumers trucks if traxxas consumers returned the truck after seeing how bad it was i bet within a month there would be a updated release but you wont see that happen. it never happens anymore with big companies its always the little guy who does it to compete.

[@ectorvalle4059]

​@@petejones6827Losi is a big company that you speak of and upgraded the LMT axle housings due to feedback.

We are looking into doing something for the regular subs when we 100k. The people who are signed up to our membership group will be entered into monthly drawings for things Thanks for watching

[@Ryder626]

It isn't supposed to be FAST!!!! It's a small toy crawler.

[@ryand4786]

This was a complete disappointment when it was released. This is the first Traxxas release I didn’t want when I seen it .

[@nocontrolrc8290]

They were so close. It just needs more power. Thanks for watching

[@Hoss58]

I wonder if anyone knows if theyll make a 1/10 scale monster from the trx high trail edition?

[@nocontrolrc8290]

I hope that if they do, they learned from this to improve the power of it.

[@jaredgrout3907]

That'd be retarded the high trail sucks as it is I lowered mine and put 1.9s the hightrail is the dumbest thing traxxas could've done.

[@Hoss58]

Congrats you over 60k subs, didn't realize .good job.

[@rctarded3834]

I put the high speed gears in the transmission and overdrive gears in the diffs in my blue f150 trx4m with injora 70mm mt tires it's a faster than that but still not fast I'm going to try the upgrade max smasher motor

[@ectorvalle4059]

FMS speed motor definitely wakes it up! 👍🏽

[@johnlujan8706]

Yeah, for sure, they should've made it a fun monster truck.

[@nocontrolrc8290]

It's so close We are ordering some speed parts. Stay tuned

[@johnlujan8706]

@nocontrolrc8290 I'll be watching. I'm off today, so I might drive something. Happy Sunday and rc'ing!

[@kylehawes4287]

Traxxas has amazing cars but Losi owns mini monster truck market I love my Trx4m have two and 1 high trail mini and full size trx4ford high trail and Teton totally all amazing never issues but servo once Teton anyways but this is definitely b s a monster truck out crawler come on stop milking out customers lol I'm not stupid enough fall for it because I do the research but I wouldn't want it for 124.99

[@ron486]

Disappointed Traxxas fan. This one won't be coming home with me.

[@nocontrolrc8290]

It happens. We are upgrading to high-speed gears and bigger motor to see how good we can make it.

[@ron486]

@nocontrolrc8290 Traxxas should've done that. This thing is a disgrace. Seriously. What were they thinking.

[@Freakeye_RC]

Same here

[@Bucky5068]

Traxxas fail. They new what Losi released and they couldn't compete imo. Unless you're really into old school monster trucks it's a FAIL!

[@baileyjohnson1067]

It's a horrible performing truck from Traxxas I guess they're going for the slowest name in rc

[@jmaclaren4147]

Ye just helped me ...not to buy this...Traxxas, Epic fail, not the fastest name in R/C

[@nocontrolrc8290]

[@Scale_Slotcars_Latvia]

Traxxas messed up big time on this one .....every review is dissapoineting ....Greetings from Northern Europe ...Harry

[@nocontrolrc8290]

The problem is they surround themselves with yes men, who are afraid to say that something isn't up to par. It's too bad. Thanks for watching

[@boduke9428]

It looks just like one sold at Walmart for $49. Same blower out the hood and everything.

[@kennethmeyers5008]

Glad I did not get it. Whew

[@nocontrolrc8290]

It was so close to being great. Just needed more power

[@ectorvalle4059]

Plenty of platforms out there that are great out of the box, but people upgrade them anyways! Petty reason not to get one!
