Kevin Talbots channel content is so fast paced and funny but I really like the chill and easy to watch content on this channel. Well done.

[@VS666]

Just finished my ultimate build, threw every single Injora part at it and topped it off with a full furitek system, mine is 4WS too 😊

[@bryanf8485]

Thanks for adding content to watch. I’m I’ve been stuck in the hospital since Sunday from my diabetes gastrointestinal issues. Your videos are keeping me going.

[@TomleyRC]

Get well soon Bryan

[@jimkrug2586]

Nice job on the Defender build. I had a hard time picturing the green and grey together but once it was finished I must say the colours look great together!!

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, colour combo doesn’t sound like it works.. but it does 👌

[@bidibulle6795]

This gray is prettier than the original sold! I also just bought a defender in green with some upgrades (white roof, white injora alloy rim, traxxas brass weights, led kit.. etc etc) I hesitated for a long time with the FCX24 chevy which is coming soon but the traxxas has more good points as far as I am concerned. With traxxas we have the guarantee that it is really waterproof, the system of clips for the bodywork is brilliant and what about the bigger oil shock absorbers without counting the many parts available immediately!! The 1/18th is perfect for the ballad (it fits in a backpack) and perfect for the interior! The 1/10 is too big and the 1/24 too small.. We can say all we want about Traxxas and some of its sales policies, but we must admit that they have released a great product at a good price and in the right size. All that's missing is the FCX24's two-speed gearbox and it would have been perfect. I look forward to other beautiful old sccol bodywork for this chassis (an old Bronco or a jeep or why not a Chevy!) I specify that it is my very 1st traxxas and I am super happy with it, the quality is very very good there is nothing to say!

[@muskokamike127]

Did you ever do a timed run on your crawler course with it? It'd be interesting to see how much of an improvement the $500 did to it.

[@jdsrcs8061]

Great build. Both my Bronco and Defender got the Treal treatment. I put a Holmes motor in my Defender now I think I will have to get that Furitek motor!!!!

[@TomleyRC]

Treal stuff is such good quality

[@paulmcnamara2908]

Just painted my orange Double Eagle landy black and I'm loving it more and more every time I look at it!

[@StreetPete]

Can anyone recommend a set of allen keys for the TRX4M? I've tried all the decent brand ones I have at home already (Wera, Bondhus, Paramount, Elkind, Britool etc) and all of them struggle with the bolts in the TRX4M, everytime I go to undo something that was done up from factory the bolt head starts to round off, I have a few bolts on there now that are completely rounded.

[@CPB24421]

That looks awesome. How much of the original car is left would you guess? Also, is the outrunner motor sensored, the low speed control was great.. I don't know anything about smaller motors or outrunners

[@michaeldorich4485]

The crawler looks great and really performs well.

[@Pablo668]

I like that outrunner motor set up. I like those TRX-4M's, but I honestly have enough in the way of RC's.

[@RiCH_926]

My question is if you're new at this. How do you know what to get for upgrade? Because it's easy to make mistakes and get the wrong Items wrong size.

[@foxaviationtime]

9:41 best product placement ever

[@TomleyRC]

Haha

[@SharkysGarageRCandMore]

Looks stunning, performs really well. Lcg crawler do furitek so i guess you may have got it from them The Treal i would guess is from GCRC... 😁 Love it ! (Edit:- Then i go read the description, and see that i am right and all the links are there ! )

[@CoastToCoastRC77]

Where do you buy the motor and esc?

[@crazykidksyt2848]

I love my trx4m. I’ve got wheels, tires, suspension links, motor, and my servo went out so I ordered an injora one. Great trucks for sure!

[@craigmcculloch1872]

I just got this truck for my girlfriend for Christmas, I would love to do the upgrades you did. Could you list the parts or part numbers so I could get the same thing? Thanks for all your hard work! You really love what you do, you can definitely tell! Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🌲 🎁❤

[@NathanStorer-RC]

Wasn't really a fan of the green wheels at firdt, but that body really makes those look great!

[@phildavis4878]

The truck came out perfect love the gray color with a stripe excellent work my friend keep it up

[@chriswhite2714]

That is one quality TRX4 the paint job with that small green stripe, nice touch Phil 👊👍

[@maxwell5428]

I’ve put an ungodly amount of money into my trx4m… and I’m getting that orange body defender. Injora, treal, and meus are swimming in my money. Only thing that’s left Traxxas, are the axle housings.

[@jaylivengood2697]

Awesome build. Hope you have better luck with the gears then I did. I've stripped the gears in the transmission and both diffs.🤦‍♂️

[@BrendonakaShanks]

I think crawling is one side of rc I won't ever ignore. It's a load of fun. Nice video mate.

[@rcplaytime]

It's so quiet 👌 crawls great and looks great,good job dude 👌😀😀👍👍

[@TomleyRC]

[@V8chump]

It performs that well even using the defender body which is awful for performance

[@mariusruk2971]

Hi mate did u ever try ezrun mini28 and 1626 motor combo for crawlers?

[@StreetPete]

That is an awseome build! If you ever get so mad at Traxxas that you want to get rid of this and do a giveaway comp I'll deffo enter it! My 3y/o Nephew is going to destroy my TRX4M, I was hoping to use it as a crawler but he likes to just launch it off of everything in sight 🤣

[@TomleyRC]

Haha… I will let you know

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic mods, Phil! 😃 It's definitely much better now! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@bassinup5184]

So far I’ve super glued the outside lip of the rim to the tire, snipped off the mud guards, drilled a whole in the rear bumper to pull out my childhood hesstrucks lol it’s so much fun, I just can’t afford these kind of upgrades

You don't have to change out gears like the M. But what pisses me off is what traxxas did to the small guy aftermarket parts sellers suing them and making them stop selling stuff for the M. Just so people have to buy there aftermarket parts 🙄 IMO it will hurt there sales more than help. This is why I don't support them.
