Traxxas TRX-4 High Trail '79 Chevy K10 Cheyenne High Trail 1/10 RC Truck Review and unboxing

[@voodootrucker]

Say what you want about Traxxas and that time they hurt your feelings but the TRX4 just downright performs and their lexan bodies are some of the nicest in rc period.

[@RCReviewChannel]

They have the nicest lexan for sure.

[@paulbricklayer4491]

Traxxas is pretty much the iPhone of the rc world

[@ChrisGorman87]

I feel like Traxxas kicked some ass when they made the 2021 bronco. I think it’s the best scale detailed body but this new k10 is a very close runner up! Great video Francis as you went over everything I had questions about. I am sure I will be buying the red one as soon as it’s available!

[@paulbricklayer4491]

@@ChrisGorman87 I don’t know why they would waste their time making that body it was a total waste

[@twanmcnasty4012]

Thinking about naming my first born Traxxas.👍

[@allmightygreat1892]

Strongly recommend the traxxas trx4. It has survived 1 or 2 batteries daily for 18 months. Very few broken parts. Driven hard and plenty of roll overs and hill climbing. The unlocking diffs make this a fun sport truck. It does wheelies stock on 3s. Drag brake adjustable 0 , 50 , 100 setting.

[@westernsharpie]

so much nicer seeing when people scale drive it instead of ripping overs like a 12 year old is driving it. Good review, awesome truck. Nice having a bull low crawling speed.

[@willfitzgerald18]

look how young rc life keeps you

[@RCReviewChannel]

Haha. Never forget the art of playing

[@JViello]

Okay okay...1. The smile on your face says it all! 2. I grew up in the 80's (10yo to 20yo) and I am a SUCKER for the Chevy Box. I think I will buy my first Traxxas. Right now it's between the High Trail Chevy and the Phoenix kit. (I want portals and will scrap electrics anyway in the RTR.) This TRX4 is *gorgeous!* I mean, WOW!! I almost hate to bang it up! I've got 2 gen 8's (1 AXE Edition), 2 GMades, SCX-10.2, A Yokomo MOA rock crawler (Japan Only) and a pile of custom built MOA, Cage body and TVP vehicles. I was **this** close to buying a TRX4 Sport, but the brand new (At the time) Gen8 got me with the Scout II body and honestly RedCat was always good to me with other vehicles. I have to buy for myself and two boys, it can get expensive QUICK! They got started at 8 and 10 so RedCat Everest and Rockslide was perfect for them to learn on back in 2017 without going bankrupt. lol Choices! ARG!

[@roadrash76]

I bought the red one and have already modified it with some simple scale bits. I added a For Sale sign to the back window with 867-5309 as the number to call. A beer keg and two wood pallets added to the bed for a bit of flair. I changed the shocks to Desert Lizard shocks in Red. It’s a great looking truck.

[@Thetreefella]

Hahaha...love it man!! Very nice touches!!!👊👍

[@Jasonoid]

I love my TRX4! I wish I had more time to take it out! It's cool to see them make new models... They are a bit expensive but I feel the quality is high.

I've had my trx blazer and wife has the bronco almost a year now. And I'm amazed that the mirrors , door handles and wipers are all still on and not broke yet. Only issue I've had I was driving in sand then water the motor locked up. Got it freed up ran motor In a cup of water reoiled and still running.

[@kinglou5442]

this truck is going to change the game

[@RCReviewChannel]

It's kind of what we needed in trail trucks.

[@brianmassey7563]

A mild 2.2, extended wheelbase, and good shocks with more clearance, seem to do the trick. I've been running the lift kit on my Bronco with 1.9's and it's great. I think the extended wheelbase is what set this apart (plus the new style body clips).

[@RCReviewChannel]

Good stuff! Ourt thoughts exactly.

[@lornefrancis9231]

Your reviews are always entertaining I can tell u actually enjoy the hobby and see u get excited about new things I bought a trx4 sport because of your reviews and I love it pretty modded now more strict crawler .take care and have a awsome day

[@byronwins1034]

I did a lift and 2.2s on one of my trx4s and I too was amazed on how well it actually climbs. And the ground clearance makes it very nice. I did add a tiny bit of weight to the axles and widened it a touch which also really helped the stability.

[@stevendauber3166]

I did the same with my sport.

[@RCReviewChannel]

We didn't have good luck with our Bronco lift many years ago. Spring rate and balance are key i guess.

[@byronwins1034]

@@RCReviewChannel you think that this new model performs better then your bronco build? If so why?

[@danielli959]

what brass weights did u add and how much wider?...

[@byronwins1034]

@@danielli959 it wasn’t a ton of weight, I think just the brass portal covers and the brass wheel extenders that came with the widening kit. And I believe it was just over a 1/4 wider per side.

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Very cool truck, good on the trail or for crawling! 😎 I can't believe I'm saying this about a Traxxas vehicle but a really good value, as well! Not a big fan of 2-speed trucks with all the bells and whistles (regardless of brand) but this one just might find its way into my stable! 👍 Thanks for a thorough review!

[@Joenoblocks]

I remember back when you were making bike rack videos

[@fishnrc294]

This will be my next RC unless Redcat releases one before I order one in a few days. This has got to be one of the best looking trucks I’ve seen & in stock form it’s performance is impressive. I applaud Traxxas it is a great truck.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Looking at my videos out of the box, I was floored how good it looked.

[@allmightygreat1892]

Redcat hard to get parts at local hobby shop. All parts must be special ordered.

[@boldrbangr9834]

The rig looks awesome! The grill & other hard plastic details really make it. The internal body clips are great too. I can't understand why Traxxas went to such great lengths to make the body scale & then omitted clear windows.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Yeah, someone needs to reamed there!

[@ToGrimmToWin]

Money lol they want to sell unpainted bodies so you can get clear windows. If they sell the rtr with clear windows less people will buy them.

[@DoubleADay]

I have a Bronco 79 with the long arm kit light springs and no bump stops. It articulates and crawls so good now. So long story short, I now own the K10 High Trail. Installing Vitavon axle housings on it before I even run (they were for the Bronco until I seen this release)

[@allmightygreat1892]

Lets us know if you like it.

[@RCReviewChannel]

love it

[@Boos2d]

Picked mine up On friday. Had some time to get it out today. It definitely drew a crowd. My friend had a pretty sweet scx bronco out there but the crowd loved the traxxas cheyenne more. Unfortunately i flipped and rashed it up on the body and bumpers a few times rock crawling so its no longer shelf pretty anymore.

[@chester82gtstang]

I just picked one up and love it!. The wife got the Bronco. Ordered the brass portal covers, and light kits.

[@allmightygreat1892]

So cool to see scale trucks. I remember when the industry only made pan cars.

Will pick this truck up when traxxas makes a ford body. My first pick up truck after college was an old ford that was rolled 2 times. I had so much fun in that truck. I went off roading almost daily when i was in construction.

[@allmightygreat1892]

All good. Enjoy the new hobby of scale trucks. I was a clay track and asphalt racer since the first rc10 gold tub. The scx24 was first crawler to see if i like driving slow. It reminds me of an old battery chain driven toy jeep called a mighty mike from the late 1960s i had. All our tracks in north il. Closed. Its a 2 hour drive to nearest 5 tracks. Cant justify dropping 60$ in gas to drive 4 hours to play rc. Rock crawling can be enjoyed local at construction sites. I am impressed how you text me so fast. I envy your weather. We get winter here. Enjoy the holiday. I travel with 3 trcuks in my pick up 10 months per year, always ready to crawl. Thank you for introducing me to a new hobby. I am 9 years late to the crawling party.

[@bacongl]

Vanquish Phoenix does everything the TRX4 can do for the most part. Minus the diff locking. I would never use it anyway. Can't take either of them to Axialfest though. If I want a 2.2 rig, I will bust out the Wraith or Bomber. But there is a reason I prefer 1.9, I actually like the struggle. If I was to ever buy a TR4, this would be it. I do appreciate what Traxxas brings to the hobby. Especially dat new Sledge. Love your reviews. Cheers!

Btw, I'm only about a year and a half in, and already have 7 vehicles bridging four manufacturers, plus I have two more kits to build (from yet another manufacturer). No doubt the future will bring more to the collection, possibly this truck in red. I am hooked, and absolutely fascinated with the hobby. Thanks RC Review for all you do!

[@earthcoloredeyes5043]

I appreciate Traxxas for what they bring to the hobby, they are expensive, but you get what you pay for. My only issue is that their servos are always crap. Come on traxxas, 550 for a toy and the servo is Walmart grade!

[@jaredharris1970]

I agree I got a used trx4 guy had it 2 years still looked new not a scratch on the body went over the chassis not much wear and tear and after 3 months I had to get new steering servo guy was only selling it because money was tight and he needed some quick cash he hated to part with it but having his car fixed was more important

[@LargeeeScaleLife]

I love the entire platform my defender is one of my favorite trucks my only complaint really with Traxxas is figure out an interior. Not having an interior really holds them back they have amazing lights bodies all of that and it doesn’t have to be super detailed something like the SCX 10 jeep interior it is totally sufficient but give us some kind of interior option that would be huge for them on these trucks

[@Mikey1962]

I have mine on order and it should be here on the 16th (fingers crossed). I enjoyed the review however during the running segments I found it hard to hear what you were saying because of the background music was mixed a bit to high / loud. I think its more important to hear what you are saying in the review over your choice of boom click noise in the background, thats why I “ tune in” to hear you not background noise. So many people don’t care to mix the vocal and music properly and thats a shame really. Oh well Ive seen other reviews where I could hear what they are saying and thats why I ordered mine. Remember Francis not all your viewers are 18 years old , many of us are getting up there and hearing is one of the first things yo deteriorate. Thanks for the review…. Mike
