Traxxas TRX-4M Bronco: Review, Early Upgrades & Trail Run

[@RCGirl]

Topography graphics for the TRX4M are available on my Etsy: www.etsy.com/listing/1377439170/topography-vinyl-for-the-traxxas-trx-4m

[@imghaniff]

I dig the topography decal!

[@RCGirl]

Thanks!

[@joweemac]

I love my T4 :o) ..... I'll be looking for that interior for sure ...

[@gwpattrick]

Yup got the defender and the trailer. And an extra battery. I took your advice and really snapped that trailer on the hitch. I want a trx 4 tactical body for it.

[@jlock2043]

what a bliss to see such a nice woman deeply interested in RC cars - makes me loving this hobby even more 🙂 I have just bought Bronco 1:10 as my first crawler and I am impressed. Thank you for your work. I will follow your vids RC girl

[@Rc_impulse]

Hey! from an ex California student who lives in India now and 9cmonths inro the crawler world It’s nice to see a fun positive review! Also awesome to see little to zero FMS crawler videos on your channel although you did mention them in the beginning especially in a world where most guys are dumping a new one each day. I’m watching this video as I order my first Traxxas crawler (mini and new) I have old ones The trx4m Bronco. This is after fms and axial and a bunch of mini wltoys rgt cross Rc to name a few I’m dwelling into the Traxxas crawler scene simply because I see so much aftermarket just like the Scx24. It was between this and the svx24 Bronco used, I chose the xMBronco.

[@CBScale]

I don’t own a Traxxas yet, but for $150 this may just have to be my first! Cool rig!

[@RCGirl]

Yeah can't beat that price!

[@maherkahala5269]

How can you not have a Traxxas yet lol

[@robinhoodie8999]

I highly recommend it. I got a bunch of parts from Injora coming in for it and it’s a really simple vehicle to make incredible. Also if you do end up getting it I highly highly recommend getting the Adaptive designs flex blades if you enjoy major flex and crawling. I also have a trx4 defender which out of the box is also really capable. Traxxas offers a lot of good vehicles but I definitely recommend this one as a start for you.

[@9graff9]

@@maherkahala5269 doesn't axial do the same bronco for the same price? Or something like that?

[@jamesplymire5342]

​@@9graff9 It's more expensive.

[@simonguilmain8834]

Wow! Amazing detail review, I’m a new member now. Thanks!

[@chadriddle3517]

First time viewer and new subscriber here . just bought one 2 days ago and I absolutely love it ! Traxxas did well especially for $150! Good review. Just curious don’t have instagrams do you ever give a way parts on KZbin?

[@LimestoneHobbies]

Love your videos, we really enjoyed reviewing the TRX4m as well!!

[@xxkingwhoxx]

Great work on the graphics Hayley, looks awesome!

[@andrewrichey7374]

Love how the lights look, love my night runs

[@davidholder1192]

thank you for the detailed review and I love the shots with the trailer. I do disagree, my beagle would not tolerate the trailer and would be in the cab :) AND I bought the LandRover Blue from my LGS. Thanks for always promoting them.

[@GeorgiaKayakAngler]

I got the High Trail Edition F-150. Absolutely love driving the mini. I have a black Bronco body arriving today. I also bought the low range transmission gears and a Holmes hobby brushed motor for it.

[@ARRMAFANBOY]

Looks like I've gotta get me a TRX4M now👍👍

[@waynecastleman1363]

I just ordered the Defender 1:18 and you done a great job on the Bronco , really nice.

[@StargazerFS128]

That bronco is sick, I love it!

[@fishnrc294]

That Defender you have was epic. I have the Defender M I have the 1:10 scale TRX Bronco already so I picked the Defender. Slowly upgrading it replaced the links & front steering arm. Also some Treal metal beadlocks & super sticky Injora tires. It’s been a blast & can’t wait to upgrade it some more. You definitely represent the RC world well I was at Proline By The Fire & you took the time to speak to & encourage young girls who are out with family Crawling. I definitely saw a far share of girls with there own Crawlers. It’s a great family oriented hobby or Obsession which is most of us we are RC Nuts pretty much. 😂

[@csdunaway]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@nathanc5176]

Thanks for the in depth review, been enjoying my TRX4m Bronco!

[@vintagerc9173]

That trailer is great! Awesome Scale looking video! 👍

[@bbillyb]

Great introduction to the TRX4M you made my mind up, I gotta get one & soon

[@JohnTaylor-zl4tjr]

Not really a Defender fan but love the Bronco.

[@scaleaddicted]

Got the blue one (for boys 😉) . The 1/18 FMS`s are more scale, but the TRX is more capable, Performer.

[@Ziptietechnician]

On the topic of double AA batteries. Rechargeable batteries are only 1.2v compared to 1.5v so small performance drop and shorter run time and less trasmiting distance (performance) just depends how important it is to the user

[@andrewrichey7374]

Full interior awesome I like that

[@johngisbourne7197]

The preload clip that is already installed on the right rear shock is to counter torque twist. I had the same, one was installed and three in the box. Cheers

[@SYST3M_OVERIDE]

The battery issue is pretty easy to fix. Just need to make an adapter that connects to the balance lead of a 2s with the center wire going to the top/center pin. Pretty sure it's used solely as a sense pin because the output voltage where the lights plug in is 6V.

[@jacojojo42]

The (1) pre installed spacer helps to keep the ride height nice and level. It has some torque twist and the spacer helps with that too. I thought I was loosing it as well😂

[@JohnyPatrick]

I just love this RC for those massive tires and those bronco looks! My my! Yessss! My FCX 24 is on the way with upgrades. Gosh! I splurged so much that I could have gotten a 1/8th crawler with that kinda money. Phew!

[@RCGirl]

Money pits for sure. 😬

[@JohnyPatrick]

@@RCGirl this is true. Now I've to create a 24 scale crawler course. Mo money mo money 🥲🤣 i guess fcx24 is a solid performer so should be fun for a very long time

[@jdsrcs8061]

I love them both. They are a blast to drive, each is so different. A Sport body would be cool. 🤘🤘🤘

[@nathanielvasquez9070]

I just bought one it’s my first rocks crawler

[@RCGirl]

nice! Enjoy it

[@flipertrucks]

Very nice small crawler :) i like it

[@camw84]

I have the real life version of this. I gotta get the RC version too!!! Good vid

[@randallkuebler8769]

Awesome you made my mind on what next purchase is

[@qwest1000]

Fun Bronco video, I love the dog!

[@aguyinnc2865]

Since I cannot afford the real Bronco, I may have to get one of these! Unfortunately the crawling scene in eastern NC is pretty slim, no events that I know of, and there is only one track that I know of within an hours distance that only holds 1/24 scale crawling competitions. I currently have two crawlers, a Element Trailwalker and a Associated CR12. And I just get them out once in awhile and do some bashing with them.

[@FreedomYak]

The shock pre-load spacer that is already installed is to help mitigate torque twist, you haven’t lost your mind at least not yet😉

[@RCGirl]

Ahhh got it!! that makes a lot of sense ha! I can tell it tilts a tad when pulling the trailer

[@rickydenton1982]

I’m waiting for mine to arrive, ordered it on Friday!

[@hollyjcars]

Ahh so awesome!! Thanks for the great review! 😊👍

[@frankw3ll]

The video at the end is perfect

[@richardwright7648]

I know this is probably a silly question, but, what are the purpose of tyre foams? And how do you know when to use them and when not to? I know some RC’s don’t use them and some do. 🤯

[@Sticker-Happy]

Awww yeah! I got the Defender and loving it, nice change of perspective and the play area is bigger😁 I've got a set of 1.0 Black Rhino Armory wheels that i might use for it. I would like to get the Bronco but i will probably wait and see if they expand the lineup. The TRX4M are also cheaper than the SCX24 Bronco equivalent at my LHS here in Australia.

[@AgeOrmstad]

Sweet video 😋😎

[@ClassicSteelRC]

Awesome video, as always! I'm really starting to dig the smaller scale rigs more and more! I already have a 1/18th scale RocHobby Fire Horse, and I think one of these would be a great crawling partner for it! I really need to get my hands on one of these soon! 🤞

[@TummaBomberi09]

great vid def gonna subscribe

[@joseaponte2829]

I like my white Bronco it looks amazing. I did get a Yeah racing skid plate and Traxxas high speed gear set hasn't been installed yet. Still testing the stock gear for now. I put the preload clips on all fours & it looks more higher this way to clear the bumper more goin up hills or obstacles. Looks like a mini high trial now lol.

[@bassingbasics6621]

Great review as always! Btw the steering servo has plastic gears on the trx4m however they offer a metal gear one too for a really cheap price! :)

[@earthcoloredeyes5043]

I want one that’s the K10 trx4 in 1/18 scale.

[@briancostales6709]

Awesome video Haley keep up the great work and thank you for all you do in the RC Community

[@soma_rc]

Nice job on that decal! Too bad the lights shine through the body but I guess that would not be too hard to fix?

[@damronatkins1542]

A little black paint or tape will block the light.

[@2Guys1ControllerShow]

Spectacular video!

[@johnjwedrall4290]

Very cool 😎 👍

[@stuartthurstan]

I love the whole "locked diffs is a feature!" thing, when actually it just means "no diffs".😅

[@omararreola2800]

That's awesome 👍

[@Firebird08532]

I’m getting one for my birthday 🥳 it’s real soon

[@raymondgagnon2737]

Nice vid!!! Rc Come so Nice now !!! Love it !!

[@charliefabito-i8b]

thanks for the videos. have a great day...

[@BlkK1ng]

That’s dope, thought about putting a boxer dog in the back with the gsx I can’t find a scale sized dog 😂

[@salseropr39]

Nice video ,

[@johnlujan8706]

I enjoyed the video and my Bronco. The interior mod is a great option. That interior mod with more choices to mount the shocks is interesting. Does it interfere with the lights at all?

[@RCGirl]

He mentioned it might need some trimming if you install it with the lights but I didn't need to.

[@joellofquist2537]

The servo has one brass gear great for stripping out plastic gears it’s pared with!

[@tommaxx24]

I like it very much 🙂👍

[@andrewrichey7374]

Appreciate you sharing RC girl, catch you on the next one until then peace and chicken grease 😁👍👍😎

[@kennethking5424]

#1#LOVE LOVE LOVE#LOVE THIS ONE#LOVE IT

[@ZabDevin]

The stock gears are plastic, not metal. Nice review.

[@jeremykindle9982]

I'm still waiting for mine ordered it January 5th

[@Barbariandisks]

That grey body, need a Seahawks decal in the rear window

[@Awetothee]

Awesome video!

[@uwek113]

Hi. first of all i have to say, a first class video, everything explained well, so you can buy the car with peace of mind. But I have one request, where did the dog and the beer crate come from.?..that's a great scale...

[@John-lr1tp]

The TRX4M is by far the best mini crawler out there. The aftermarket has really heated up since it came out. You can basically build one from the ground up with aftermarket parts now. Ask me how I know 😂

[@andrewrichey7374]

Love the trailer that’s awesome, hello RC girl Yep I’m watching

[@kle2217]

I've been looking for an affordable RC crawler mainly to enjoy running around inside my house, as I can run it over various obstacles on a rainy day. Any thoughts between the Bronco version vs the Defender version in terms of features? Can't decide which is more appealing. thx

[@jacobcarter9189]

that truck would look good with the FMS Chevy k10

[@deamslarrabee7468]

Plastic gears. Upgrades are metal I have the land rover and I got my best friend the ford. And so far they are still holding up great

[@2007vlc]

great video !

[@danielemulazzi1615]

Spettacolare...bel video... ciao dall'Italia

[@snoopy-hh6vg]

Awesome, keep going!

[@escape150]

Where did you get the scale dog 🐶 at??

[@busman2050]

She made the dog on her 3-d machine. I was also looking for a scale dog

[@toddanderson1506]

Awesome video! You mentioned the lights can be controlled from the transmitter, can it go thru all the light modes? I could only get mine to go between headlights on and flashers.

[@RCGirl]

Oh whoops - I misspoke! It's actually the EZ-set button on the ESC in the truck that toggles through the light modes. Whoops! Had to read the manual for that one 😆

[@docmanhattan4260]

I just discovered your channel thank you! The perfect woman exists!

[@bordfronco]

From a real bronco owner, i get about 415 miles on a full tank and that is with the bigger engine (2.7L ecoboost v6) and i believe with the smaller engine (2.3L ecoboost i4) ypu moght get higher milage

[@RCCrawlerz209]

Should check out Cape Crawlers' video on the TRX4m, he made his flex like crazy! 😲 Great video, as always! ✌🏻

[@matmac7950]

I love the topographic map sticker how can I get some

[@cosmaninashiva6115]

Der hänger ist doch mal sehr schön !!

[@aron6998]

What is the largest battery should I install for my son to have extended play time, also I don’t want to go outside of the Traxxas battery platform

[@SlowFlyer85]

Great video and reveiw I want one now lol there out stock and where did you find the trailer hitch

[@rajivravio]

You mentioned you can control the lights using the set button on the remote but I can’t seem to do that. If I long press it goes to hazzards but doesn’t go through the other modes. Am I missing some config?

[@busman2050]

Nice video

[@JA-rc4uy]

What allen bits are you using with the electric screwdriver? I’m looking for some that don’t round out on the first use like the ones I threw away😅

[@audiS4nissa]

Génial il est magnifique en rouge j'ai le orange mais j'ai envie d'acheter les autres couleurs elles sont toutes belles 😅

[@spoiler42ify]

Nice review and running video, thanks. How bad is the torque twist? I noticed it leaning towards the right all the time. Bcz of the trailer ?

[@robernth1]

Thx for the video - how would you rate this to the Ford-150.. considering one of them? Thx Robert

[@mikenowland2739]

Cool little truck 👍 Are you going to do only surface in the future or you going to do some planes soon ?

[@kshobby-z7c]

please tell me. Where can I buy parts for the Bronco driver's seat?

[@nbreen3456]

How do you like those ebl rechargeable batteries?

[@fishnrc294]

Your Bronco Beer & Dog what more could you want😂

[@Jbzy3000]

I really dig these but I don’t want to buy another charger. Will these batteries adapt to the Spektrum charger.

[@RCGirl]

It comes with a fast charger. With most micro crawlers, I tend to use the charger provided. Since they're so small they charge really quick

[@BrittleTights]

This was awesome to see! I am currently waiting for my local shop to get a black Bronco in stock (hopefully in the next week or so). I was curious to the foam though. What is the benefit of having the foam in the tires. And if I were to drive through snow or a puddle, would the foam not just soak it all up? Thanks!

[@IBB4U1]

What is the runtime with the stock battery
