- If you wanted to build this 2021 Traxxas TRX4 Bronco to the same spec in the UK, it would cost you over £800 ( $1000).
2021 TRX4 Bronco - £500 ($660) alnk.to/9I9cJms
Hobbywing Axe - £200 ($265) alnk.to/8iP8SQd
Dmond Servo - £67 ($89) bit.ly/36EdMVd
Proline Tyres - £50 ($66) alnk.to/e729fMt
Wheels - £30 ($40) s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9ubGGb
Total - £847 ($1123)
Luckily it cost me less than half that as I used my spares.

I've had my Trx4 79 Bronco for 3 1/2 years and all of the stock electronics still work. Same with my Xmaxx, OEM servo, esc and motor. I've had really good luck with my Traxxas stuff.
Yes, sounds like you’ve done okay 👌
Ditto. If you stick with stock minus servos in some vehicles and some odd ball things your Traxxas rig should be reliable. I have Traxxas, axial, Tamiya etc
Out of mine, and all my buddies numerous traxxas rigs, the stock servos don't last more than a month. And the trx4 steering servo is absolutely pathetic even when they work (
@@HalibasterDillibickus Yeah I know I totally hear you. I agree the service suck unless you get like a slash for the kid or something but the TRX servo is decent if you’re just a trail driver. It definitely leaves a whole lot to desire for anything more than just going down to gravel path for sure. I have 22 Traxxas vehicles alone which is almost the whole catalog not flexing here just saying and I’ve never had an issue with any ESC. Except for on my E Revo 2.0 when I went to do a software update and forgot to turn my phone to airplane mode. I believe there are certain guys that can get away with like myself the standard stock stuff but I know there are other guys who are just hard-core probably such as yourself that need or want the aftermarket their motors and what not. My best friend is the same way he modifies everything and that’s awesome his rigs are always faster and perform better when they are running lol. My Arma axial cars are the same way I think the spectrum stuff is good OEM but for that next level you definitely need to upgrade although I will say I think spectrum has a better offering in the upgrade department if you choose to stick with stock. I do know that there are so many ways of doing a car up and that’s completely cool I just don’t have the time to pull equipment and add equipment with how many rigs I have if I whittle down that I might be more into modifying but with the limited time I have as it is I guess I just stick with what I got. No hate To you either I’m glad we could debate this without going to fisticuffs lol great talking to you
@@DB-qm4jx Oooweee! 22! That's a whole Lotta traxxas! Lol.
Yeah I'm into the hard-core crawling where stock steering servo just won't suffice, they brown out and get hot, then stop working relatively quickly. And I've never had any reliability issues when I ran a stock ESC, (though a few buddies have smoked theirs) I just really didn't like its performance at all. A 40 dollar HW1080 and a 20 dollar crawlmaster motor was one of the best things I ever did to it.
Glad we can be civil as well, we're all in the hobby together, might as well be decent to each other:) one love, bro
The buns are a good idea,we used to put bb's from a gun in the tires to keep the weight down on the ground so no flip over.great video.
Yes I’ve heard that’s a good hack 👌
@@TomleyRC I heard rice too. It draws in moisture and expands to become little air pockets. I had a friend who swore by it
I will have to try that BBS in the tires trick
@@montemaguire4596 yea for sure it works out really good for crawling.you can either count em out or weigh them to make sure everything is even.really helps on steep uphills and also steep decents.👍
Hi Phil can't beat the Axe Sir great ESC AND MOTOR combo. Thank you for posting Sir. Have great Sunday 🇬🇧👍
Thanks Mike. You too 🤟
Love the hair bun hack - quality
Cheap hack that actually performs!
Amazing truck, great course and slides!! Wow Bro!!
I love that new Bronco body, when I get the money I plan on getting one. lol
Yes, it’s a good looking truck!
Welcome to the TRX4 hair doughnut idea. 😉
My TRX4, and my son's Mauler are both running them, but it was difficult getting 14cm one for the Mauler, as it's now running 2.2" Proline Hyrax, and they're massive!! Made such a difference to the performance though. 👍🏻
I put well over that amount into one of my rc's already. So yes, I would.
Ohh mate you Made that thing just perfect!!! Best of both Worlds, I would get one of those, It seems better than a summit
😎
I had the same problem with mine too just replaced mine with the traxxas 2065x metal gear servos and problem solved.
Been running my stock traxxas diff servos on 7.4 volts for years not a single one has burnt or failed.set the end points guys!
Nice… maybe it’ll be okay then
I just spent about $350 on my Tamiya Trike build. Pretty sure I have a few trucks over $1000, but I usually don’t add up the money I have sunk into RC kits.
It soon adds up!
I prefer the old bronco.
Nice content dude 😎
Yeah, the classic one is also nice
I like the early and the new. Once I saw those I was no longer a fan of the middle generation full sized bronco.
Impressed with the seesaw.
It’s a bit steep to get up without lifting it off the floor a bit… no traction to climb
@@TomleyRC Love the style though.
after decades of RC I can say that my one and only Traxxas truck is the most fun I have ever had with RC - TRX6 for king.
It’s not a conspiracy, it’s a marketing technique, traxxas design’s part to break
Been waiting for this after the live, this thing is boss
Those hair "foams" seem to be working really well, very telling on that last launch you can see the sidewall flex.
Would love to see 1st and 2nd gear speed runs on this.....
Keep up the great work !
I would say I've spent 1000 on each of my scale crawlers, regardless of brand , there is always the next upgrade 😉
Crazy isn’t it
Love my Bronco 2021, it's my most capable of the 4 TRX4's I own, and it looks great too.
They are very good 👌
@@TomleyRC if you haven't already replaced the micro servo, do a search for HD-TR-4. They are direct replacement, metal geared and much better price and quality. If any of mine fail I replace in pairs with those and keep the working one for other projects.
I just beefed up the servos in both my TRX4s and love it. I can’t believe I waited so long.
Makes a big difference!
Great video And nice drive 👍😄
Thanks mate
I like the wooden obstacle you made with the AstroTurf on? 😀
Would be awesome to do a video on making or what kind of course obstacles there are.. Its really difficult to find videos on them 👍👍👍
It was given to me by the guys from Beds RC Club
Traxxas tough babyyyyyyyy
When I first looked at your screen shot, I laughed...your sense of humor...funny stuff...I think that's Austin Powers under that wheel.
Keep up the great content. Always tune in...
Yeah it’s Austin haha
Awesome job, Tomley! Great truck! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Cheers mate 🤟
Not on a crawler or trail truck, i love speed & doing jumps, wheelies too much for rc cars.
But i could absolutely see myself spending that money building a basher or two, I'll need myself a job first though.
Or win the lottery but unlikely that would happen.
wow,awesome rc and great overview brother
Cheers mate
Nice, but beyond the budget of many of us.......RGT EX86190 review soon? Looking forward to your take on it.
Great video as always, good idea using the hair scrunchy for inner foam....maybe your wife could tie her hair up with a tyre....🤣🤣
Haha.. I’ll suggest it 😅
Cool, loving that foam hack. Plan on getting an ax system for my Double E Defender later this year!
Nice
Love the look and the positive feedback of the trx-4. Think I might have to treat myself to one 😁
Just want to say, Phil, that your video editing has gotten much snappier - I like your style and it works very well. Cheers.
Really appreciate it Al
I've been running hairbun donuts for quite a while and find 100mm ones from B&M Bargains about right for 120mm 1.9's with 110mm ones for 130mm+ 2.2's. . My main reason for using them was their resistance to water damage. Ordinary foams rot after a while but donuts are made of plastic filiments so aren't effected. It is possible to use those beadlocks but it helps if you use three longer bolts to get them started.
Nice to know
Very nice rig Tomley.
not on my budget dude 😁😁 cool bronco though, i do like it😀👍👍holy smokes just noticed your nearly 80k subs 😀👌👍👍
Thanks mate. Yeah, should be there tomorrow I reckon. Road to 100k going well!
To have that speed Nd that slow crawl, wow. Great video 👍🏼
Cheers dude
The way you've just slapped this together is how I'd love a 1/10 crawler. Nice and slow but can change gear and have a rip for a bit of fun!!
Yeah, they are pretty tough as well 👌
Nice
Very cool great idea that!
I sometimes cut the foam in a star shape it makes a big difference Also and it gives you a side wall . those servos look to be good definitely very strong and fast let's hope they last!
Yes, I’ve seen the foam cutting trick. MST provide pre cut foams like that
Mad looking thing . Love how quick the servo is . Have to look into one .
Yes, I’m impressed with it so far
@@TomleyRC newbie question. Is it only for brushless systems? If so what fast-ish servo would you recommend for a brushed system on a tt02 chassis. Cheers Dave
Enjoyed 👊🏻👍🏻
Go to see if it's going to overheat
Not for 1/10 scale and all that plastic, $1,000 will get you into the 1/5 game with 7075 components
Nice rig bro
Cheers mate
Yeah Tomley!! I've got those dmond black 50kg servos in my lmt and mt410.....and I must say they're pretty damn awesome!! Especially for the price!
thanks , my LMT eats servo's . I have a TREAL servo saver and even so , i seem to strip gears on 35kg DS red or 35kg Feetech Blue . . . i will save up for a dmond 50kg !
1/4 of that price for the same truck all day here
Tomley can we have more videos and upgrades for the feiyue fy08
Maybe… if I can find it 😅
Until last year I would of said nope. That’s why I bought a Trx4 sport for my first cheap crawler. Within 2 months yup. Rolled over the 4 digit mark. Axe foc 2 speed. This that and the other. Happened so fast lol. No regrets.
Haha… it soon gets expensive!
@@TomleyRC yes. Yes it does! I now have 9-10 wheeled rc’s. 8 drones. 1 boat. 2 planes. Yes really do not want to add it all up!! (All in 1 year)
The little servos for the diffs and gears wont burn out if you use a transmitter that can set the end points on them. The stock transmitter burns them out by over stressing them when you change gears or lock the diffs. I found out by chance when my stock transmitter broke, I bought a different brand transmitter and I have been on the stock little servos for 2 years. The main steering servo is bad though.
Absima Sherpa Pro for me
That’s a big Hell no! I love the hobby just like everyone else, but $1000 dollars? It better be making me money!😝🤑💰
When's the new summit upgrade video coming?
Being keeping an eye out for that one.
I already spent a $1000 on my trx4 traxx kit with a 2 speed transmission,alloy axels, high torque servo, beadlocks, tires, and the hobby wing axe 550 sensored 3300kv motor esc. Soooooo worth it
Them servos look savage ive got a ludicrous 32kg brushless servo in mine but id say that one is slightly faster ill have to check them out great video as always bud
Wagwan tomley, awesome video! But would you please stop using the blue truck song 🤣 i hear it in my sleep! Ill record you a song to replace it if you want even? 🤣
Haha, you love it
@@TomleyRC im getting dirty looks at work when i randomly start singing it 🤦♂️🤣
Most of the failures of those Traxxas micro servos are because Traxxas don't tell you to set your EPA's on them... Out the box mine were set horrendous...
Yes, very true
What do you think of the hobby wing combo crawler ?
Decent 👌
From my experience when it comes to drifting and crawlers I got bored of them years ago would never buy them again, they look kool but you cant sell me to consume anymore 😂.. you don't even need brushless or lipos...lipos and brushless were designed for competition, aluminum parts are emotionally driven sales..you don't need aluminum.. as these are vehicles you rarely break anything..stock is fine but if you got the cash and wanna bling bling all on you.., but to resale you'll lose the money invested when you get bored of them..but bashing and ripping fast you'll never get bored of.
All 20 of my scale vehicles trx4s have had over 1k spent on them 🤦♂️
Baller 😅
I like the how fast it goes and the color looks really cool. But anyway, do you still use your wltoys k969(the little porsche)? If not (I'm gonna be really shameless), can I have it?😅
Haha.. yeah I still use it
@@TomleyRC nice :(
Why are most servos really noisy but that one is silent? What's the difference?
have i missed the coffee club truck?
Nope… ordered it this week, so video soon 👌
@@TomleyRC can't wait. Keep up the good work.
I already have 😅😅
Haha
Nice truck bud 👍✅🇨🇦🤡🤪🙌😀👊
No! I switch off when I hear Traxxas TRX4 , or really any Traxxas, might be something to do with the price.
😅
Nope! Not now, But then I've grown away from the hobby to much now no whare to go with them here garden half hour n bored! But totally understand die hard RC guys would I'm more a scale modeller for armour now do shows n competitions and spend alot on this hobby now but always still been interested in my RC but the stigma of the both hobbies are still among us people just don't understand that it's not having a hobby that's not having a life eh!
Used to use hair things n strips of foam in my racing tyres when was in the hobby years ago! Definitely made the difference in soft slicks a stip of curld foam!
I mean... you have to bash it. look how fast it is. lol
Skate park 😅
only things I like aboute the video is the music blue blue is my truc
jk btw :)
Hahaha
@@TomleyRC For real I love your video keep it like that
I wanted to tell you about what iam running but I think it is too long to deciscrib in comments
I will try to keep it quick
I have a 179 USD amp crush monster truck upgraded pinion gear and a 550 arrma 12 turn motor .only difference between out of the box rtr is my motor and gear.It is fast but I don't have a way to measure the speed
Dude I have... twice lol
Just 1k??? Already spent more. But not to Trxxs😁
That RC?....no, but that's only cause I'm not into Traxxas. I've done that on a few rigs tho
The Traxxas servo is 0.0
why include us links if you're in the uk?
Only about 13% of my viewers are from the UK.
He's got a brand new car looks like a jaguar I think where Gona make it I think where gonna save it yeah so Don you try and fake it anymore anymore
Haha
No. In short
Been doing RC for 30 years, and I still won't spend 5 dollars on a Traxxas.
No.
nope
No.
