[@ryanmarkley1979]

So glad you put the cry clip in on the first roll, LOL! Totally agree, these are great indoor and outdoor RC's for younger kids (and adult children).

[@rcfamily4life74]

The blue with Bigfoot stickers!!!! Happy RC'ing Y'all!!!

[@dman19581969]

Traxxas sells a miniature Bigfoot kit for it. Pretty neat!!

[@daledavis8093]

Paint the chevy white and get the USA 1 stickers for it

[@DLAdventures2]

That is the perfect first RC car! I know there is a brushless motor going in one of them for sure!

[@xelasoccer]

I wonder how they'd be with speed gears and a better brushed motor? Saved by a $20 upgrade?

[@brennanlindermuth4801]

Didn't know I needed these till I saw the Traxxas video! I need em!!🔥🔥 Also great video Mark. Love your content!

[@jaguarsrcfamily101]

Handles and looks like a mini clod buster …? Really cool to see the trx4m platform expand even more. Can’t wait to see all the custom tricked out builds coming🔥🔥🔥

[@samangulo5681]

I created my own version of the MT and it's a blast to drive with a low turn motor with high speed gears

[@boduke9428]

I gotta feeling I'm about to hear how amazing, great, and innovative these are.... I'll not believe my lying eyes. 4 mph is really fun!!

[@KCRC-SLC]

I might be goin to my local hobby store!! I love the size!

[@UNCLEBGA]

Im excited. Cool unit. I really enjoyed my Losi Mini LST, way back when the diffs were not blown up. Also my Clod Buster. This truck will be fun to upgrade. Cant wait.

[@cheezmo2k]

I must be a 50yr old kid because I bought one and love it for indoors and to chase my TRX4M crawlers. It is fast enough stock and Im sure it can be modded to go faster if desired. It’s not a stadium racing truck people.

[@BetriebAnin]

I think it should’ve been brushless, or at least have a brushless option. Might come along soon or you could buy aftermarket, but still.

[@motorizedmisfit-artist8535]

Those tires though! Dam son. ❤

[@bretayala5545]

Hellz yeah. I know some TRX4 M that are getting blowers!!!!!!!

[@bluegroovemodelsports9650]

Great video. Fun to watch

[@superartist5695]

You gotta love a channel that makes you smile as hard as this one 😂

[@andyb9994]

Pretty cool, and Traxxas also offers a licensed Bigfoot sticker pack, grill and different air cleaner to do an awesome Bigfoot monster truck....That's what I want!!!! 👍👍

[@will.I.AmonYT]

I was really hoping Traxxas was gonna release a solid axle MT to compete with the Losi LMT. Missed opportunity and totally disappointed.

[@coyoterc8711]

Incredible just wow 🤩 beautiful I can’t wait to get my hands on the blue one and throw Bigfoot sticker pack on it. I love the clodbuster lookalike dual shocks. Great video ! They look amazing

[@chadshumaker4984]

I so need to get one!!

[@RandyandCyndi]

Those are great

[@bdot1223]

Been waiting for this video!! My son is going to lose his mind

[@Sticker-Happy]

GG, excited to see what will become of these things :)

[@OGPAPERBOY77]

Ima Traxxas Fanboy and I love it but FMS offers 2 Speed Traxxas could of atleast matched it there And Im suprised they didnt do a Big Foot 😢 Still a cool lil truck Thanks for the review Always good info 🤙

[@coles2576]

they have a Bigfoot conversion kit that they released along with the trucks today. part number 9844X. looks like it comes with everything you need to convert a Ford TRX4M body into Bigfoot. so theoretically anyone with a Ford TRX4M can turn it into Bigfoot for $25. I'd still love to see them release a Bigfoot edition of the TRX4MT though.

[@OGPAPERBOY77]

@@coles2576nice! Thank you for the info

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

That’s cool and you right fms has the 2spd maybe traxxas will put this out cheap like they did trxm

[@baconwithdrip2246]

sick!

[@Scoobers-fj6jk]

Nice love the minis they r great for the house on thise days when u can't get out or ur going o. A trip and space is limed in the car I just Los this size of rc thanks for sharing 👍

[@T00LF00L]

SWEET!! ❤

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Like others have said. Bigfoot decals for the win on the f-150

[@klausward7095]

Mark , it has different speed settings on the ESC , It is accessed by pressing the ESC button , Hope this helps , Keep up the good work , Kindest regards from the UK

[@keithmcsorley5271]

i want one they are cool

[@uan588]

Golly fellas. I’m getting the red k10 Mt. They look great.

[@ronnyweinreich9425]

I totally missed the new MTs. 😅 How does it compare to the FMS Smasher or FMT24?

[@michaelweber1694]

Looks like a baby clodbuster

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

It does

[@Casitascrawlers]

I like it Traxxas actually though a little outta the box so to speak😂

[@christhibeault3205]

How do they handle jumps though since it's a monster truck

[@Paul-wz1tm]

I am going to Hobbytown to pick up some orders. Might not have them yet.

[@briangillespie3291]

Whatttt im definitely buying one of those for my kid

[@heller127]

The blower is actually called a roots blower and the Chevy pick up truck from 1960-1987 if it’s two wheel drive it’s a c10 and if it’s four wheel drive it’s a k10

[@jamesgeorge2852]

Think I'd still go with the Fms models with the 2 speed way to slow for my liking... Probably why I never really got into crawlers

[@petejones6827]

a monster truck with locked diffs and cant jump or wheelie isnt a monster truck

[@Donsalaskanrcadventure]

nice

[@morganrody67]

Nice review, thanks. What about battery life, how many minutes of fun on one charge? Can it take a nimh battery instead, which one? How fast, km/hr? Also, are there different modes on the esc?

[@albertdelbosco9686]

About time traxxas

[@GraveDigger78]

Im really interested in the shock mount because i hate having to disassemble so much stuff to get to it.

[@RC-KID801]

I want it sooo much

[@RockCrabRC]

The Chevrolet K10 reminds me of Tamiya Clod Buster

[@nyraven125]

Oh Damn take my money 💰 😂

[@chaserush5672]

If they come out with a flatbed trailer to pull this behind the regular trx4M and maybe some skinny tires so that its realistic to how full size monster trucks are loaded on a trailer

[@MrLenzotik]

I converted my k10 into a monster truck but really wanted open diffs to complete it. Traxxas should've had those for this.

[@BetriebAnin]

I can’t see anything about it that’s better than Mini LMT or Max Smasher.(Except for price compared to the Losi and double shocks)

[@christolbert9913]

It's neat but I don't know why anyone would choose this over the Losi Mini LMT.

[@OGPAPERBOY77]

Idk why you would choose either over the fms smasher

[@christolbert9913]

@@OGPAPERBOY77 the fms is 1/24. The lmt and this trx4mt are both 1/18. It can't be compared to either.

[@OGPAPERBOY77]

@@christolbert9913youre right they cant compare to a better smaller truck also fms 1/24 isnt really 1/24 its closer to 1/18 The more you know 🤙

[@christolbert9913]

@@OGPAPERBOY77 I've owned both. I do know. Have you driven a mini lmt?

[@PonkyKong]

It's not neat. Is insulting. The motor size is an insult.

[@harlyquin]

so are the diffs open or locked?, its a detail we cant see that would be nice to know

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

They’re locked

[@harlyquin]

@@RcPlayer-tt2vw that sux, locked diffs should only be for crawlers and donuts

[@cameronbarnard2055]

The max smasher killed them. They look great but don't perform. My son's max smasher with the $15 upgrade motor has been great. Pulls wheelies and does backflips

[@mattyrko9712]

so what your saying when it comes to the body i could buy a TRX4MT body and put it on the TRX4M without issus

[@Sidecharacter1912]

Where's my trx4mt game over version???

[@mylifted4x4]

I wanna see it against the max smasher naturally

[@joshuacollins789]

Ya I think they got the idea from fms

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

No 2sp though probably 75 bucks more , parts and looks traxxas has em

[@boduke9428]

Traxxas don't wanna see that.

[@joshuacollins789]

@@RcPlayer-tt2vwya the smasher body isn’t the best but I have the fms k5 and that looks damn good and I have the 1/18 landcruiser which is super fast. But barely use it now. I like Traxxas but they fell a little short with the trx4m and this doesn’t help it at all. They should have atleast threw in the high speed gears maybe even a faster motor. I’m sure some people will like it but I’m guna pass. Just picked up a granite grom “for my son” lol

[@Brettloves_RCS]

Let’s gooooo

[@Thor_drones]

Should have been rear steer axle as well

[@markg7030]

A supercharger, blower, huffer, stuffer are all the same thing. I hope Traxxas makes more because they will be getting orders for them.

[@Slow_PEV]

Losi and even fms blow this one out the water. I love my trx4m, it can push 30 pounds and still goes smooth on rocks and fast on the trail, but I put like $600 into it and honestly there are better options for that price to be good and honest.

[@heller127]

Order a blue f150 with the Bigfoot kit can’t wait until they come in and I have a few of the broncos and high trails and I use the yeah racing motors they seem better than the Traxxas motors

[@TroysHobbiesRC]

Mark, I know you love your Traxxas stuff, but I have to keep it real and give an honest opinion. Looks good, but way too slow. The Losi beats it hands down in every category.

[@todd5060]

I think traxxas fans will be about the only ones to buy these. It’s more like a crawler with a beefy look.

[@carlosrodas8762]

He’s under Traxxas payroll I’ve said it before he can t say negative things lol

[@truerc]

Losi parts are more expensive and they tend to discontinue stuff. So definitely not every category.

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

Yea but most of reason rcs get discontinued is from traxxas to begin with .

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

True Losi parts are expensive but regular usage they pretty much last forever , my muggy has original gears ect but now I have a track drive daily I did wear the diffs in LMT. But talking many hours of abuse tbf traxxas makes good diffs also even though pop metal they last , my slashes are original also , now I go through a arrma diff every month or so or every few months I need full rebuild

[@jonspikes4935]

I could do with out the blower on it tho

[@RedsRCVlog]

It is cool and all but not something I would rush out and buy 🤷‍♂️

[@Brayl129a1]

I really shouldn't but I I guess One more could not hurt

[@jacobfazbear8474]

They look very nice but it just stinks they’re so slow, I feel like they would definitely have better sales if they were a little faster and be way more fun. I still may get one.

[@Jobro_Ya_Know]

Seems like all the extra beef is kind useless when the thing doesn’t get over 10mph. Good ole traxxas for ya.

[@DavidSmith-jj5pr]

here's why traxxas filled half the shocks: $ and horribly over-sprung 🙁 look cool though

[@GearHeadJonny]

For the price, this thing should at least have bearings and speed gears, now imo the mini lmt for $70 more is a much better value. all traxxas did was make a mini clodbuster.. 🙄

[@tylerseabook9423]

Absolute bust by traxxas. Slow. Locked diffs. Another money grab by the apple of rc

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

Mini clod buster and Bigfoot , are cool editions to rc world 🌎 I must say not a fan of the toy blower either

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

They should sell them cheaper so MT Lovers who don’t like throwing money at traxxas can’t resist, most there profits are made from upgrades . And the parents who can’t afford 200 cheaper will increase sales . I bought a 8 channel escavator for 20 bucks unbelievable good , to think we used traxxas in 80s because RC10 Lodi was too expensive 😂now traxxas charges more than pro kits

[@ericford3115]

Need to quit making rock crawlers and make some speed trucks Traxxas is way out on a limb

[@rustlerboi1052]

I don’t see the market for this. It’s slow as hell; how is it any different from something you get at walmart for $40 if a young kid is going to play with it anyways? Sounds like a cash grab from traxxas, just mildly changing an existing (trx-4m) platform
