The Traxxas trx4m owners thread

Recommended Posts

Hi all, 

 

thought id start a thread going for everything trx4m.

 

picked up ours yesterday, first impressions are very good, as always though, little room for improvement but certainly value for money considering its rivals.

Feel free to get the pics flowing along with mods and tricks.

Jesus! You have 4 haha! What colours?

 

Seems very capable, maybe a touch expensive for what it is, but cant wait to make a course!

 

We got 2 red for each of my daughters and 2 green for me and my lad. From the test run my lad did, its looking a lot smoother running and really quiet, articulation is good also.

shocks seem a little sticky thats something ill look into when i can (run ragged at the minute lol). Detail is superb too. One thing im not so keen on it the servo mount looks bulky but possibly fragile and steering arms makes it look rastar. Otherwise im more than happy with it.

 

Considering the roc hobby Toyota Land Cruiser is £139 and the mogrich is £169 the Traxxas is good value i think. :good:

I decided to nab one of these - got some plans for it in the future when funds allow. They seem really well put together out of the box, but they definitely need some low down weight.

The Bronco definately feels more planted than the Defender IMO. I think the roof rack does the Defender no favours. Green looks epic though!

Got some beadlock wheels and tyres from Injora. 

Gone from this...

To this..

The tyres are 58mm tall. A little bigger than stock. 

I thought I'd ordered dark silver wheels but accidentally ordered chrome. I don't think they look too bad.

Took it outside for a proper little run - RC4WD steel wheels + GoodYear Wrangler MT/R tyres (bit more scale) and I painted the roof white

 

Really good fun so far 😄

Got my defender today. Looks the absolute business 😎. Doesn’t feel as torque-ey as my scx24 or fcx24 out of the box but have a low gear transmission to swap straight in once chasing the dog around the living room wears off and I actually want to climb stuff/my dog 😂.

 

Love the turning circle on it as well!
