Traxxas TRX-4 First Ride and Testing new Features

This is Traxxas new Scale Crawler TRX-4 with Landrover Defender Body. The car is ready to run, and this video was done with the car straight out of the box. Cool features on this truck are lockable diffs from the remote, 2-speed gearshift and many more...

better than Traxxas own video !!! they should hire you next time Matteo !

[@Matteomeier]

Wow, thanks for your nice feedback! 😊

[@SeamusMacMattain]

yes, yes they should, that was an amazing video.... if nothing else, they should support Matteo, by using it and crediting him for it.... send more traffic to his awesome channel!

[@Matteomeier]

Wow again! You guys are awesome with your amazing comments! Thanks so much!

[@connorbanton6940]

Seamus RBNW lol

[@adnanbaigmirza]

You should have known that was sarcasm.

[@chrisrausch4594]

Very well done. Every review of this truck that I've seen only describes it's features. Good idea to actually show what the various functions do on real terrain. Big thumbs up!

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Chris! Glad you liked it! 😊

[@4x4rcenthusiasts88]

Hi Matteo, your videos are always very interesting and at a professional level, but at the same time they are full of the passion you have for the R/C world. I think this Traxxas is provided with features that many enthusiasts were waiting for. I'm curious to see the customizations that some keen enthusiasts will want to do to the body... Thanks again to share these great videos, and... my Tundra is almost ready...

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Paolo! Glad to hear this from your Tundra, looking forward to see it finished!

[@kristofferrydquist8384]

So, again you do it; displaying the TRX better than anyone else and making me realise this might be the crawler to buy. Excellent video - as always - so thanks and keep doing what you do!

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you so much Kristoffer for your excellent feedback! 👍😊 I appreciate it!

[@donovangladden9074]

awesome video ! I buy 99% vintage classics, but this is one I will put in the collection without hesitation.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Donovan! 👍

[@jonnantau9354]

Brillant video for sure! Very nice demonstration of everything the truck has to offer. It seems like a pretty nice well thought out truck.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Jon! Yes it is! 😊

[@MonsterXRC]

Awesome! Extremely well thought out video! Thank you! All the features are explained and demonstrated extremely clear. Also the videography is very excellent!

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you so much! Glad you liked the video!

[@rcjan5690]

This is the best TRX-4 video so far, guess we don`t need any other...First , supersmart with rubber tyre as steering wheel, i must copy that...second, first video that explains the features and show how to use them...you are a true master in making videos and reviewing rc stuff...very well done Matteo, we are lucky to "have you on board"...thumbs up..

[@Matteomeier]

It's a great pleasure and motivation for me to get such good comments like yours! I really appreciate it! Thank you so much Jan Erik!

[@christianmuller4027]

Hehehe they told us in the truck driving school, don't drive the whole time with locking differential. But thanks for the video. It's really nice to see how it works. Big difference between locked and unlocked differential lock.

Thanks! 😊

[@Smaug1]

I'm really impressed with this. Traxxas is still innovating, and considering the level of technology that goes into their trucks, they're not too expensive. For example, your Toyota Bruiser has great technology. Really just scaled down from real trucks, with its 3-speed gearbox and locking diffs, but it is VERY expensive, if we can even find it. This one is a bit smaller, but has a useful two speed gearbox with remote locking diffs and portal axles, for less than half the price. (AND it's widely available) Traxxas is thinking outside the box. Years ago, they innovated with the lay-down shock arrangement of the Revo. It made for a lot of easy tuning options. They then carried it over to the E-Revo, and adapted a dual brushed motor setup. Then, made a brushless version. (and found out the drive train was not quite strong enough for all that power with sloppy driving) They shocked us all again with the Summit, with its two speed gearbox, remote locking diffs, proper built-in LED lighting, and even the body is rugged enough. Not some disposable stamped piece of clear polycarbonate. I thought for awhile that they were done. Then, the XO-1 speed car. OK, NOW done for awhile, surely. Nope, X-Maxx came out. I had to have one. The first generation one was lacking something and needed a sloppy resistor modification in order not to start fires when driven hard on 6S. Again, it has the tough body, and this time, it didn't even need body clips! I got away from the hobby for a couple years, and when I came back, I see they came out with the TRX-4, which has some features from the Summit. Also, the Maxx, replacing the old easily-broken E-Maxx. Add to this good parts support and customer service (at least in the USA) and it is easy to justify the slightly higher pricing, compared to the also-excellent Kyosho. These days, Tamiya seems to be just coming out with new bodies to create sales; not really innovating any more. Just looking for easy cash grabs. I bet their vintage models sell better than the modern ones. I'm not even fanatical, and I bought a Brat, two Lunch Boxes, and I'm now thinking about a Pajero. The more I think on it though, the more I think the TRX-4 is the one I should get. Why? Pajero locally is $216. No radio. Luckily I have a spare receiver for my expensive Futaba FASST radio. No ball bearings. That is a bad thing to leave out on a $216 kit. No battery; not sure my 2S 5Ah stick packs will work with it. Pajero is a trail truck, no crawling pretensions, so the TRX-4 can do everything the Pajero can do except maybe be scale. AND it can do some crawling, AND it has good parts support. In short, Traxxas is doing things that make me proud to be American, and there's not too many of them, these days. :-\

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Jeremy for your extensive comment! I agree, Traxxas really does a very good job! And I have a lot of fun with my TRX-4, one of my favorite truck! 👍😊

[@Live2Drift]

This video got me so hyped... I went to my local hobby store and bought one today. They only had one in stock. Great job with the editing and explaining the unique features.

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you! Have fun with yours!

[@MrNismopro]

This has to be the best RC review period. Very well explained. Like those Portal Axles, that's neat.

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you Rick! Glad to hear this! 😊🙏

[@OliveRC-Addict]

Your video is better than other !!! :)

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! 😊

[@deroberharzer6309]

Nice job-looks very good.Well done

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you Oberharzer! 😊

[@WSquared60]

Excellent review Matteo, thanks! I especially liked the unique suspension shot at 8:19 :-)

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@JoelTGM]

Good showing of the benefits of locked and open diffs. Alternatively, my crawler can stop powering either axle so when I lock the rear I can pivot on my rear tires and turn much sharper!

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Joel. Yes this works also, but not so scale at all....😊

[@o0wizzetta0o]

Best review of this truck yet! Well done.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks so much!

[@Matteomeier]

WOW! What a great feedback! 🙏🙏 Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! 👍😊

[@fildadic4217]

Matteo running a Traxxas, I never thought I'd see the day! Lol! This truck definitely piqued my interest when it hit the shelves, and your video was informative, and entertaining as always! Thanks for the great review!

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Fil! Yes, Matteo is disloyal to Tamiya... But Tamiya and Traxxas are not competitors: Traxxas slogan is: The fastest in radio control, and Tamiya says no. 1 in quality! 😂

[@fildadic4217]

Although I'm primarily a Tamiya owner, I do run several other brands as well. Variety is the spice of life, right?!?! Thanks again for all the great videos!

For the money they're asking, you'd think it would have a brushless motor or some metal parts. But it is really sharp looking. Great video as always, Matteo!
