20 Years ago I had something like 60 1/25-1/24 model cars.custom airbrushed paint jobs with 4 layers of wetsanded clear coat....so much of my childhood spent with a Dremel, cutting up little cars, making the coolest looking things I could. when the 1/24 scale rc stuff came out, I had already committed to 1/10 with something like 8 crawlers. I like the idea of 1/18 scale ,for some model options for bodies, but so much more expensive to find (obviously I have a problem),but. Unfortunately slowly been selling off the things. Nothing more I would like than to have a couple of 1/24 monster truck kits to put custom hard bodies on. Budget restrictions last few years mean I have to prioritize more. I hate adulting. But I will keep watching your videos, and hopefully the world can hold together, and we can all keep playing with tiny trucks.

Both bodies look gorgeous,Traxxas did a great job at scaling these two . As i started this hobby and my KZbin channel based on smaller scale trucks(1/12-16) but hard bodies only(so i could work with) , i think these will fit perfectly to my collection.While the 24th scale is not for my liking,the 1/18 scale is much more appealing to me. I would love you to make the Bronco body "your own",whatever that means!In SBG we trust!

Of course it is not a completely stock rig so they dont get frustrated when it wont climb things so I put on some modified canyon trail knock-offs on it and they are a pretty decent tire.

I was going to get the 1:10 scale, but these little guys are even more fun in my opinion. I have the 1:18 jeep from axial, and I love them!

Matt, brother, at $150 USD can't ask for much more (add some inner fenders and bearings and the price starts to climb)! I think this is the perfect combination of price vs features (not something I normally say about Traxxas). Not a big fan of 1/24 scale, just not very versatile. With 1/18 scale though, indoors or out, you have yourself a competent crawler. My Losi MRC is highly modified but this is an easy, inexpensive may to get into a mini crawler. Really, a home run by Traxxas (not something I say very often, as well)! 👍

Great video, thanks so much for going into detail. I would like to ask you a few questions..... 1. Is the transmission fairly quick and easy to swap? 2. Will both bodies fit on each chassis? 3. Are the plugs for the LIGHTING proprietary or standard? 4. Do you think Little Guy Racing Trail Kings would fit....maybe if the shocks are repositioned? 5. Do you think injora brass wheel rings would fit the stock wheels or would the traxxas ones need to be used? Thanks in advance for any info you share!

@@scalebuildersguild Thanks for the reply! FYI: I picked up a bunch of TRX4m accessories at Hobbytown today and I thought I would share a few things I learned. I just tested the compatability with the traxxas and injora tires and wheels: The injora Rock Terrain tires are about the same diameter as the Traxxas BF Goodrich tires but not as wide. The injora tires seem to have more traction though. The injora tires fit on the traxxas wheels but may slide without glue. The injora brass rings will NOT fit on the STOCK Traxxas wheels so the very expensive Traxxas brass rings ($40 for 4) may be the only option if using the Traxxas wheels. Also, the sidewalls on the traxxas tires are very thick so the injora beadlock wheels can't compress enough.

Well I’m a bit late but I’ve pre ordered a Defender. Us normal folks can’t get it online right now. I actually love the look of the Bronco the front view is awesome. But I have the 1:10 scale Bronco & always wanted a Defender style body so Defender it was. I’ve watched your video on the New 1:18 scale Capra & it pushed me closer to getting it. I’m thinking New M 150$ New 1:18 Capra 250$ so only 400$ for both isn’t bad. And both have room to grow with upgrades coming soon.

Little bit of brass on the front axle where available, wheels, tyres, I’d chop up the defender whilst keeping the double cab but make a flat bed and finally one of those furitek brushless systems.

Kind of a bummer I’ve got to use their whole system when all my other micros charge off the balance plug only…unless you can just chop the “ID” wire and solder plug of choice onto the esc. Probs can. Second: are the rims 1”? Seems they might be bigger? Ie: are all the 1:24, 1:18 tires and wheels compatible?

I bought the defender body (paintless) and the bronco RC (defender sold out). Took a while but was fun to put together. A couple issues: the door handles on the driver side don’t stay, gonna have to use glue. Same with the gas cap, doesn’t want to stay. Lastly the roof rack also most likely needs to be glued. Other than that fun and easy! Make sure you get the bumpers if you switch bodies, each one has its own bumpers for the clipless body!

You need a top-speed build like you did with the TRX6, that would be wicked. 😎

I'd like to see a general overhaul with basic upgrades to one, then a major upgrade overhaul customization. I have my eye on a pair of these to goof around with, and they are in stock locally. GAS is real lol :D

Hey buddy thank you for the informative video I'm just looking for some advice as I'm currently building a 1/24th scale micro drifter (MX5) wheelbase(94.4mm) And I'm looking for a 4x4/trailer set up to toe my drift rig around 😊 would you recommend one of these or just suggest sicking with one of them axiel 24th models instead

The 18th scale TRX4M might be a better choice!

Proprietary connectors is all too common with Traxxas (and they tend to sue people that make adapters). It sucks, but I get it. I really with they released more of their products as kits as I really enjoy the building part of RC. I have an original Defender TRX4 (before they released a kit of the TRX4) and I did a complete disassembly and rebuild of it because I enjoy the build and knowing how everything works.

pretty sure that traxxas is using the new trx4m as kind of a test platform for their flagship trx4/6 crawlers by testing the hard body and perhaps more internal changes as well.

Good video man! I am currently working on my scx24 jeep. It is getting a bunch of treal upgrades. It will be interesting to see how these do with aftermarket upgrades and how they perform against the scx24s.

Thanks for the great content! I have been wanting to get a D110 hardbody for my 1/10th rig to give it a more scale appearance, but the fact that I could just get the TRX-4M for about the same price a tenth scale body makes it a very hard choice. Good work once again!

It'll be interesting to see what they end up doing about alternate wheelbase options since these two bodies are the ones on the 12.8" wheelbase on the full size TRX4. I'm looking forward to the one I have on order to show up.

Can I change the pinion and spur down a couple teeth without changing the whole gearbox? I’d like maybe 10% better low end control, drag brake, and 10% less speed… but I have a feeling the crawling gearbox is gonna be a much bigger gear ratio reduction than I’d like

I suggest just buying the low speed gears and adding the pinion from that only as an experiment. Thanks for watching!
