They SHOCKED ME with this one! - Traxxas TRX-4M High Trail Chevy K10

Traxxas actually surprised me with this one! The new TRX-4M High Trail Chevy K10 is here, and it's a real winner! It comes fully loaded with taller tires, a lift kit, headlights, and a beautiful plastic hardbody, decked out with scale details! I take it for a test run and give it a full review.

Are the 4m bodies all interchangeable? I want the defender but I like the high lift kit

[@scalebuildersguild]

@@businessraptor127 no, the Chevy has a longer wheelbase and different chassis plastic parts.

[@WingnutsRC]

I couldn’t agree more all of us need to start supporting our local hobby shops over the Internet stores. Keep the hobby alive!! 🤙🏻

[@davidd9289]

​@businessraptor127 I have both no they are not interchangeable the high trail is alittle longer but u can buy the defender and buy the lift kit shock towers and the tires for the high trail fit directly on the stock rims of the defender

@RuffCrawlersRC Hi! The pressure from China is raising, that‘s for shure! O.K. The brandnew FMS FJ40 is not/never a Traxxas… But notice the price, what you get for it! hardbody, doors , hood and tailgate to open…Not so „1/10 scale“, larger than the Mashigan…

[@alantaylor353]

BWAHAHAHAAA HAHAAAA 😂 😂 😂

[@FXDXTy]

The 4m already had straight axel and hardbody. This is literally just a body, tires, and longer links. Nothing new really

[@wolfguard1180]

If they make a trx6m I'm all in, it really needs to be done.

That would be the size of a TRX-4, 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@demoths]

That running video was fantastic. The low light and muted tones with the contrast of the chrome reflection, body lines, and that brilliant orange..... absolutely stellar cinematography

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@BillGuldenschuh]

Definitely felt like this was coming sooner or later. They did a fantastic job on this one. Mini mud truck project for What's On the Bench?

[@chucksrchabit.7671]

Tracks rock and have their place. If I got snow in Florida I’d have plenty of tracks.

[@blastarrow5938]

Tires are the Baja Pro XS, the street legal version of the Baja Pro X. It’s what JConcepts’ Tusks and Injora’s Swamp Stompers (say that 5 times fast) are based on. I think these are the first actual licensed Baja Pro XS in any scale

[@scalebuildersguild]

Ah, good eye! Thanks for the clarification!

[@3gearrc]

This looks like a great addition to the 4m lineup, i hope to see the f-150 high trail join the lineup soon! I will be all over that one!

[@rockwolfdesigns6384]

Hell Yeah waiting on the Dentside

[@codyoscardavid6268]

dude, your running footage and music choises are so solid!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad you like them!

[@mattabe86]

I have five 1/10 crawlers/trail trucks, but with work and family life taking up most of my time my two TRX4Ms have quickly become my favorite rigs for a quick crawl fix. I’m def interested in this one too! I hate mud, but might just like it a bit more with one of these. All of my Traxxas vehicles have been my most reliable and headache free rigs

[@thomasbialzik3060]

Excellent video. That truck looks terrific and you've shown that it is indeed capable as well👍👍❤

[@nuge74]

Amazing how much detail they packed into this guy, awesome!

[@DoctorCalico]

This looks fantastic. I have a TRX4M Bronco and it was the best entry into the RC hobby I could have possibly had, expanding the line is a fantastic move on their part.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Agreed!

Have you tried an FCX 24?

[@DoctorCalico]

@@willyjimmy8881 I have. It was neat, the two speed transmission was pretty cool, but the TRX4m is definitely built to be more durable, and the oil filled shocks and longer wheelbase make a big difference.

[@Mike_and_Life]

Totally unexpected for me. But I love it. Your trail reviews are becoming something special. My wife even watched the whole video. Keep up the great work! And my WPL Cobra HISS tribute looks amazing with tracks! Runs like trash, but no one knows that when its on the shelf.

[@HalfSeasOver]

Living in northern Canada, That spring crust with the trx4 traxx is sooo satisfying. I get it they build up with snow in the powdery conditions, and they bind if trying to climb a vertical obstacle or something, but some vehicle track setups will do the same! The tracks kick ass!

[@henryurbina2555]

You always have the best running videos Matt! The music choice is always right on par!

[@scalebuildersguild]

I appreciate that!

[@modelcarjedi]

I love the dramatic lighting in the running portion of this video

[@Bradkozakandfriends1830]

Best review/run video out there in this truck. Awesome. Thanks.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad you liked it!

[@KearSki]

Y e s. A small scale squarebody that doesn't look funky! I'll need uhhhh- about 40?...wait no- make that 80. I'd figured this'd be something Traxxas was going to do, although I expected it to be the blazer first, but I'll gladly accept the K10!

[@sir2honda]

the music choice was amazing! loved it

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad you liked it!

[@Sysiphos]

I took a double take at the thumbnail "Didn't they release this a while ago?" before I realized this was 1/18th. This looks awesome, I run the stock gearing on my bronco because crawl one is slooooow and I haven't burned a motor yet. I think 1/24th to 1/18th is great for scale builds, because they don't have any performance anyway and you can fit more on the shelves 😆

[@Mattwiistand]

Their performance is scaled down. I run insane lines on a 24 but they are specific lines. I find more spots to crawl with the smaller trucks in my area so my preference is easy.

[@derrickwilliams2903]

Performance is relative. The 1:1 guys talk the same sort of trash on 1/10.

[@Sysiphos]

Honestly on clean rocks a trx-4m with heavier front wheels is pretty good, but on a forest trail some pinecones can stop it. Great looking and very portable but it's a very different experience to a 1/10th, but so is a SCX6 (probably, I don't have one)

[@redndeyes]

Loving the running video editing! setting the bar up there buddy.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ReadySetRC]

I can't even keep up with the RTR's for 2023, glad to see josh is keeping count😆 Great review and this is on the short list for sure👍

Absolutely fantastic! I'll be getting this one for sure! Great review!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching and enjoy!

[@Brian_Mowry__BMOW71]

Love the looks of this body! Nice job Traxxas! Oh and yes I will be getting it and turning it into a low-trail edition!😀

[@BroncLander]

I just got one of these a few days ago. I'm very happy with it. Already have a low gear kit, longer shocks and a brass transmission mount on the way. Btw the light bar comes apart and has provisions for wiring and LED bulbs

[@88davidw]

Excellent review and cinematic run video. I thought it was about time Traxxas did more the with TRX-4m. The truck looks very nice!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks 👍

[@allmightygreat1892]

The 3 esc modes are a real joy to drive . Needs wheelwells and interior.

[@Poizdrc]

I love that its not super bouncy. Very cool

[@coryflint6415]

Sweet little rig

[@knotical689]

Definitely picking one of these up! I'll probably keep it fairly stock, just servo wheels and tires. Time to get a chassis kit for the Defender

[@mikes062]

Sweet!!! I’ve been waiting for this one!! Will get it as soon as I can!!

[@Mr.NiceGuy80]

I love the way you just kept rolling after you lost the trailer. I wouldn't want to go back and be embarrassed either. Lol. I thought that was Colter Wall playing music there at first.

[@WingnutsRC]

This thing is awesome. I’m definitely gonna have to get one of these and get some footage up ASAP. Hopefully they bring out a 70s Ford body as I’m a Ford guy at heart.

[@Andykb-nz]

11:37 this is why a safety chain is critical

[@kunkmiceter]

Song choice was more than perfect. 😂

[@grandmasteraj855]

I’m all for new trx4m bodies. FINALLY. Going to buy this in white body when it fully comes out and do it with a 2 tone either blue and silver or brown and tan.

[@FlensPower]

man, love that trail with that song!

[@TheMossbergg]

Excellent review! Your camera work /editing is fantastic!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@jerryvolpini7987]

I think it really compliments the 'm' line and goes with the same philosophy Traxxas used with the TRX-4. Clear windows, though, what was Traxxas thinking, lol! I think the increased ground clearance will outweigh any concerns about a high cg.

[@Poizdrc]

Oh man when you started reversing the trailer i got flashbacks to the 2013 rc4wd ecsc. And the TF2 shootout. Was where i first met ya. Part of the course we had to to reverse like that! Was so much fun!

[@forrestcrabbe]

Perfect song for that truck, it also fit the video superbly. My favorite run footage yet 🤘🍻🤘

@@scalebuildersguild can't wait nothing like Chevy square body

[@kevinoxley5898]

This little truck was awesome straight out of the box! 1st day, I put steel wheels slightly higher with S5 rubber and soft foam. Added brass wheel weights and brass dif covers. It goes as many places as my $1700 fully upgraded Bronco TXRM! It is a little tippy going sideways, but I'll make it better. Quick fix for light seeping through body is black electric tape placed around headlight buckets. I highly recommend this 1/18! I put it in my bike bag and hit the trails and rocks.

[@scalebuildersguild]

That's so awesome to hear! Thanks for the comment!
