TRAXXAS TRX4m BRONCO: NEW TRAXXAS PORTAL AXLES AND 2 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION: ARE THEY ANY GOOD???

Cool running footage guys 👍

Aww snap you complimented Traxxas! Just wait till the angry mob with pitchforks hear about this transgression!

[@ProNoobRC]

Bahahahah!! Ferrari acts the same in business but no angry mob lol. I’m not afraid to admit I used to hate Traxxas, but as a brand it has growing on me. Probably the most reliable well built affordable RC’s on the market.

⁠@@ProNoobRCNo company is perfect and they all have their share of questionable decisions/skeletons in their closet. But I do think Traxxas has done a lot of good for the industry that they never seem to get any credit for. I also think they generally put a little more effort into their products. It often shows in the cost and sometimes there’s some odd corners cut, but on the whole I do think they have a better overall design and engineering department. Obviously anyone can point to any number of weaknesses they may have and point to other brands that don’t have that. I’m just speaking in general terms. I’ve never had an issue with a stock or aftermarket Traxxas part not fitting perfectly. I can’t say that for all other brands. Does that make me a Traxxas fan boy? Maybe. But I’m just as big a fan boy for my Associateds, my Tamiyas, my HPIs, my Kyoshos, my Arrmas, my Losis, and my Furiteks!

[@ProNoobRC]

We can’t agree more! They have done tons for this hobby!

[@JT-6s]

I guess…..cool? But yikes, it’s now sitting at $330. That’s before any “real” upgrades beyond a base FCX. And was it binding, cuz it looked a bit jumpy in full turns (ie. 10:48)?

Traxxas is so clueless when it comes to the micro world. not for nothing but that is now a VERY expensive FCX24 LOL for the price of a TRX4m with the portal kit and 2 speed kit. you can get an FCX18 with a furitek brushless system and an upgraded servo and still have a few dollars left for a spare lipo.
