This gray is prettier than the original sold! I also just bought a defender in green with some upgrades (white roof, white injora alloy rim, traxxas brass weights, led kit.. etc etc) I hesitated for a long time with the FCX24 chevy which is coming soon but the traxxas has more good points as far as I am concerned. With traxxas we have the guarantee that it is really waterproof, the system of clips for the bodywork is brilliant and what about the bigger oil shock absorbers without counting the many parts available immediately!! The 1/18th is perfect for the ballad (it fits in a backpack) and perfect for the interior! The 1/10 is too big and the 1/24 too small.. We can say all we want about Traxxas and some of its sales policies, but we must admit that they have released a great product at a good price and in the right size. All that's missing is the FCX24's two-speed gearbox and it would have been perfect. I look forward to other beautiful old sccol bodywork for this chassis (an old Bronco or a jeep or why not a Chevy!) I specify that it is my very 1st traxxas and I am super happy with it, the quality is very very good there is nothing to say!

[@jimkrug2586]

Nice job on the Defender build. I had a hard time picturing the green and grey together but once it was finished I must say the colours look great together!!

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, colour combo doesn’t sound like it works.. but it does 👌

[@Bonecrusher-ht1mh]

I also bought the TRX4M Defender and was disappointed how it handled itself straight out of the box. So being on sick leave and couldn't leave the house I also bought every single part of Injora accessories. But I'm hesitate about the base plate because it seems like a lot of work to disassemble and reassemble it😅. Tomorrow I gonna install the axles and honestly I don't want to take it outside anymore because it looks so good now 🎉. So I'm thinking of buying a second one and just do the basic stuff and take it outside getting muddy 😂

[@jdsrcs8061]

Great build. Both my Bronco and Defender got the Treal treatment. I put a Holmes motor in my Defender now I think I will have to get that Furitek motor!!!!

I appreciate the distinct lack of traxxas upgrade parts. Cool rig.

[@maxwell5428]

I’ve put an ungodly amount of money into my trx4m… and I’m getting that orange body defender. Injora, treal, and meus are swimming in my money. Only thing that’s left Traxxas, are the axle housings.

[@craigmcculloch1872]

I just got this truck for my girlfriend for Christmas, I would love to do the upgrades you did. Could you list the parts or part numbers so I could get the same thing? Thanks for all your hard work! You really love what you do, you can definitely tell! Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🌲 🎁❤

[@tylerseabook9423]

[@RiCH_926]

My question is if you're new at this. How do you know what to get for upgrade? Because it's easy to make mistakes and get the wrong Items wrong size.

[@V8chump]

It performs that well even using the defender body which is awful for performance

[@forgetfulLlama31]

That looks awesome. How much of the original car is left would you guess? Also, is the outrunner motor sensored, the low speed control was great.. I don't know anything about smaller motors or outrunners

Can anyone recommend a set of allen keys for the TRX4M? I've tried all the decent brand ones I have at home already (Wera, Bondhus, Paramount, Elkind, Britool etc) and all of them struggle with the bolts in the TRX4M, everytime I go to undo something that was done up from factory the bolt head starts to round off, I have a few bolts on there now that are completely rounded.

I love my power wagon/ bellydragger the 2 speed trans is what sold me I love that you can take it in your car with you if you have time it can keep up with you walking like if you want go trailing. You don't have to change out gears like the M. But what pisses me off is what traxxas did to the small guy aftermarket parts sellers suing them and making them stop selling stuff for the M. Just so people have to buy there aftermarket parts 🙄 IMO it will hurt there sales more than help. This is why I don't support them.
