[@MrGibbie2210]

Well I watched the video, .... a lot, and it finally convinced me to buy one, same colour. I had a defender once before I loved it but aways found it too top heavy. But thanks to your video and tips, I took the bait and bought one..... now I just have to explain where it came from.

[@omega_rc]

I've just recently fallen in love with crawling so I ended up getting a trx4 new bronco recently and I've been watching TONS of trx 4 vids the past few weeks and let me just tell you this was one of the most fun TRX4 vids I've seen lately and it was a stock run! Awesome work Brotha!!!

[@Art-zs6sl]

Glad you mentioned the interior. Whenever my friends and I go out, people always ask why certain trucks don't have them.

[@johnybravoable1]

I just bought one and it’s about my favorite thing since ever. Had a bunch of phantom drones before, t Maxx, emaxx etc. this ones my favorite overall. I take it with me hiking all the time and it can manage just about any terrain a human can short of a completely vertical climb! I must get at least an hour of run time on a 5000Lipo.

[@Prince_Pig]

Stoked that you’re having a blast here in HK. Learning lots from your channel as a beginner RC enthusiast. I still remember my white Nikko buggy over 30 years ago! I love a crawler as we can play with it anywhere. Keep up the good work RC 🥝 🥝

[@V8chump]

Man do I miss you guys! This might be your best video of all time, the editing is so nice right from the start!

[@88davidw]

Good to see you enjoying the new Bronco. Looks like the crawling in HK is pretty epic!

[@g.bjumpsbashing3062]

Perfect trip bro..looking so real😍 Great driving and control💪 Keep going champ👑

[@SandJ-Adventures]

It's been a while since I watched one of your videos and yes, as Paul Simon says, "Still Crazy After All These Years"!😄 But, I loved it!👍 Great going with the Bronco, loved the winch work - all especially good as you guys are hanging onto the bottom of the globe down there!😄

[@Tight_Lines_Uce]

🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼AWESOME DRIVING JOE. YOU CONQUERED TEST #3. KING OF THE HILL. BRAVO 👏🏼

[@MrGibbie2210]

Fantastic crawl Joe, trx4 are the bomb man, and the newest iteration is the best, you are correct about power and weight, it’s nose light and slightly underpowered in certain situations, but for a starter kit it’s awesome. Best upgrades are a stronger servo, and some brass portal on the front. Power is a personal thing….

[@michaelleee3417]

Awsome video man love the use of the winch

[@noquarterschavez5415]

Great video..Never knew this had cruise control..I’m going to go out today and check that out..Great information to know..Keep up the good content..

[@TheRcKiwis]

Cheers mate! Yeah its pretty awesome! Handy when out for a walk or on the trail thats for sure! 🍻

[@brettradecki]

Cracked me up when Joe pops in "gimmie a like for that". You got a like bro!

[@LRSTUDIOCREATIONS]

This looks absolutely stunning!!!! Wow and you did a fantastic job on that impossible climb. (It's not cheating using the Winch as it's part of the cars equipment lol).

[@TheRcKiwis]

Haha cheers mate! That's a good point 😁🍻

[@rwarton1]

First time seeing one of your videos. All I can say is this video was AWESOME! Great job.

[@TheRcKiwis]

Cheers Rick! You’re a legend!

[@redroosterazrc]

Awesome vid! 👍🏼 Love my Bronco. But @6:55 you say, "Man this JEEP looks so good…”. Thems fightin’ words! 😂

[@ctiradv2288]

Hello. Greetings from the Czech republic. I like watching your videos. You're great. The Bronco looks amazing. Great video. Ctirad.

[@johanels1733]

Great vid, excellent job!😎

[@robertgardiner878]

Epic driving joe..nice video

[@mattreetz3361]

Sweet move... Whole vid is kick butt...that last move ' SWEET '

[@patricklavoie8719]

Joe, is there ANYTHING you make that isn't entertaining?? :D Any content you release is gold!

[@davidives7204]

Brilliant filming

[@leehall3181]

Great video. Definitely thinking about getting me a blue bronco.

[@drewncars9505]

I got pretty lucky buying my bronco edition TRX4, I live close to the Traxxas HQ and their own largest store. They were offering the winch for free if you bought the bronco edition. I absolutely love it so far! Although you said you think the videos are cringy sometimes, I much prefer the commentary of your driving over running videos with music blasting in the background!

[@Buddythunder1]

Oh, I just HAD to give you that like! Nice turn!

[@TheAurabell]

you did Amber's part real good this time 👏 Joe ! great video !

[@sol029]

Your driving has dramatically improved. Gonna get myself one. Traxxas better be sending you guys a kickback.

[@TheRcKiwis]

Thanks man! Appreciate it! We have never heard from Traxxas... Maybe one day 😁

[@sol029]

Only a matter of time. The content you guys create keeps improving.

[@laurieandtheresarcs]

I did the same way with my wife got her in a crawl and now she loves it

[@V8chump]

Gotta get those headlights and tail lights! They look fantastic in person and if you have the remote link you can customize them more (run daytime running lights while having rear lights, brake/reverse lights, and turn signals which isn’t possible without the link)

[@rodfather2506]

I should have taken Amber's advise, "A manual which you should read". Great video Joe.

[@ReadySetRC]

Great crawl! Got to love the TRX4💪 Bronco for the win!

[@OGs_Playground]

What a killer run up impossible mountain. Great camera shots. Subbed

[@TheRcKiwis]

Cheers mate! Appreciate it 👊

[@benwatkins1976]

That definitely earned a crisp clean like well done good sir

[@bb4l881]

I'd have to say, it's got to be the red Defender, all day, every day. I think it's absolutely stunning to look at, even though, I might have a slight biased tendency towards the Defender simply because I'm British 🤣😂🤣 Let me know in the comments, what do you think? 🇬🇧

[@jackd1582]

Def Def. For looks

[@Rozic1986]

also, very nice in british racing green

[@donniemarks94]

My redcat gen8 use to get light in the front when climbing but a treal weighted diff cover took care of that 😄

[@n22pdf]

Great vid dude first I’ve watched on your channel I’m thinking of picking up the Bronco would you recommend this over the new High lift Cheyenne truck ? Love the looks of both looks awesome.. subscribed 👍🤩🚴🏅

[@Bjlee2000]

Sometimes when I get stuck out on my four wheeler I will find a large rock to wrap my winch around and then throw that rock over a ledge . It usually works pretty good

[@port8565]

“Oh no the body” i sounded like you were crying 😂

[@PixelSlayer8]

I'm new to this Hobby, it normally would love to watch your bashing videos. I got to admit, I did not think that RC rock crawling can be this entertaining. I watch the full 18 minutes and loved every minute. I may need to look for a crawler RTR my next RC.

[@TheRcKiwis]

Haha that's awesome! Glad I was able to keep ya watching! 😁🍻

[@mattyofpv]

As long as you had fun and a smile that's what matters in the end

[@simonj5134]

On the tight turns just unlock the rear diff, the front will drag it around and the open rear allows it to turn tighter.

[@andyb9994]

Good job...well.done. I have a TRX-4 Blazer and a TRX sport, both are awesome I love the looks of the blazer but the sport might be a little better crawler just for the fact that the body is a little smaller and not as high or bulky....but yes both do great and even better with a few modifications....👍👍

[@weschambers7612]

Totally earned that like

[@Double_Barrel_Dave]

Your camera work is awesome 🤩

[@TheRcKiwis]

Thank you so much 😁

[@danweiss4928]

I got one of the original defenders. Which is now a jeep Cherokee for a competition. And the new bronco is on my shortlist for this season

[@cpcshorts7731]

See now in a dilemma I really want a black one. But the orange one is on sale just now 😄 Great video as always guys ❤️

[@JuanGonzalez-lg2yr]

Bro that was pretty epic..

[@Inder0726]

Amazing performance. Where to find trx4 bronco 2021 modify accessories?

[@ZozzMiata]

Maaaan that gapnjump was epic nice skilss. Thumbs up slammed 😉

[@apexjeep8861]

6:59 did he say jeep? 🧐 lol I this is dope keep up the good work

[@cadeltarat]

Great video and you really didn't do any more than what you would do in real life. Great job

[@digitalcamera3237]

Awesome!! More rock crawler reviews please!

[@ralph001z]

I am going to purchase a TRX-4!!! Your video has definitley convinced me!! Thank you. But when you shoot video on the side or under the cas, are you using the GoPro9? Quality and stabilization could be, but how do you mount on the car? Thank you if you will find the time to answer ciao!

[@DodgeBanda-nz5ct]

Nice one, like the winch

[@V8chump]

It’s been so long I almost forgot about that first trx4 video! Compared to now that video feels like you’re being held hostage 😂

[@ejlucas93]

Love my trx4 bronco!

[@rcdaejeonrc5878]

It's great~ I'm going to watch the video well~~

[@marcsangiuliano4273]

When you had the camera on the bottom rear end of the truck it looked like the real thing! Good to see you following the quarantine rules keeping you and others safe, we need more people like you to end this pandemic! Thanks for the awesome footage!

[@the3djs339]

yeah only apart from the fact that it doesn't.🤣the real bronco has independent from suspension and definitely does not have portal axles

[@aravindrao9572]

i cant wait to see the light kit

[@keithcerce8445]

Ok. You got the 'like'. nice drivin'

[@enjoylifevcd]

So exciting

[@camrowdrone6497]

Nice crawling 👊🏻👍🏻

[@shaunodriscoll]

Don’t really go for crawlers but that was great stuff 👍🏻

[@chrisbrine2004]

Do you control the winch from your controller??

[@RCplamodel]

*I Want to tell you that your video are Wonderful and so amazing 👍 Awesome Cars 😍 : Your video is very creative.*

[@songgiri6706]

Sir I love your videos!!! I have a request, get a TRX6 and do the same challenge!!! Please sir please

[@peteconibeer4558]

Woooo looks sweet

[@Yourmomsplacefasuppa]

Bronco is king

[@jackd1582]

Take the foams 0ut??

[@alantaylor353]

It's the solid front axle on the TRX4 when the full size Bronco is IFS that gets me... I'm a bit of a pedant when it comes to stuff like that. It would never stop bothering me whenever I drove/wrenched or even thought about it. Another sweet video mate, thank you.. Stay safe out there & best wishes from Scotland.

[@binojgeorge8135]

It’s sooo cool

[@myfccs]

Really struggling between the bronco or the defender, I love the look of the defender much more, but it’ll be cool if you will do a comparing video between both of them

[@TheRcKiwis]

We will have to do a video like that once Im back!

[@andrewhaley7426]

Aren't they the same other than the bodys?

[@MrGibbie2210]

@@andrewhaley7426 defender is slightly longer wheelbase by about 7mm, doesn’t sound a lot but it does make a difference. Merc, sport and bronco all share the same chassis, defender is “different” lol

[@ByronRC]

I’ve got 2 trx4’s and love em. My wife has the defender

[@AM-6030]

Hi Byron, I'm just curious, what are the befits to having 2 trx4's? Are they specced put differently or something?

[@ByronRC]

@@AM-6030 yeah, they are completely different, one weighs 5kgs plus has a hard body, the other is also modded and runs 2.2 wheels

[@AM-6030]

@@ByronRC Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Sounds like a blast!!

[@1982james111]

Those tyres don't seem as supple as the one I have on my trx4 defender from stock. Mine wrinkle etc, maybe it's because the defender body is heavier or they've change the compound 🤷🏼‍♂️ curtainly don't look as grippy.

[@timothyweiss5079]

What type of vehicle do you drive?

[@ltkcliveemily]

You living in Tung Chung ? Any trx 4 for sale ?

[@AnuTheMostHigh]

Put more weight down low and put longer springs and shocks and it will really do some crawling.

[@jarnelemaitre378]

Pls try the trx4m

[@randalcicero6996]

Chicken leg 🍗 mountain!! Haha, but on a serious note, what's your favorite in the rc hobby? Air, land or sea? And I'm about ready for an upgrade on my transmitter, you guys have the ones I'm looking at. So no pressure but, do you still love the nb4 or would you recommend the dx5 rugged now? Thanks for all the hard work! Great vid!

[@TheRcKiwis]

For me (Joe) rc jets! For Amber it’s the bashers for sure! But we love them all! Nb4 fells great in the hand, has loads of features and I like it for at the track. But it’s far more fragile and prone to breaking if dropped compared to the rugged. I love the rugged because u can throw it in ur bag and not worry about it breaking. But also I like the fact it’s easy to set up for most of the horizon products that have compatible rx so you don’t need to buy new rx every time 👌 hope that helps! Cheers 🍻

[@randalcicero6996]

@@TheRcKiwis Thank you! That's exactly the info I was after. Well, the question about your fav rc's was just for funsies. But, the transmitter is a biggie. The ease with the Horizon products is a big key point. Thanks again for all the hard work! Appreciate the help!

[@Blackbeardyo]

Love the look and features but hate the price of traxxas products especially when you have to pay import fees and taxes this truck is nearly the same price as the x-maxx in Canada

[@sandman6617]

Depending where your at….you may want to invest in lightweight snake gaters. I’ve heard you mention snakes in previous videos, and not wearing protection isn’t worth the pain or worse.

[@juanjosesanchez7150]

muscular man and owner of 1 traxxas bronco 😂 👏🏼

[@1234567kon]

Do you have a Trx-6?

[@SnarkyRC]

The trx4 is okay as far as portal axles go.

Defender for me all day long... but mainly because unless I win the lottery thats the only way I'll be able to afford one... real life ones are silly money...

I can't wait to have them both out side by side o a trail with Amber! Will be so much fun 😁🍻

[@petercantremember253]

Hey Joe , why do you have 10 weeks of lockdown , where the fook r u?

For trailing you need zero upgrades .. zero .. best out the box trail RC in history especially with duel speed , cruise control and lockers .. bruh
