That's my favourite TRX4
Mine too!! 😅
Same!
C'mon Phil... we all want a thumb-jobbie!!
Not me, I prefer the REAL Traxxas TRX 4
@@mikeashton2628 right? 👍
Now that is a good unit thx bro for your time.
Wow the beluga looks awesome! Seems like a great trail truck and crawler. Very impressive. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
👍👍
Yes!!! I hope more companies offer up Traxxas knockoffs!!!
Me too 😂
Awesome video Dude!! Great scenery
Thx bro! Yeah nice to get out of the house 😂
I have little to no interest in crawling but you have me tempted... another great video!!
It's a required taste for sure. Great for garbage weather tho when you need an RC fix 😅
Thanks for fixing code. I ordered a red one today. Thanks again.
Nice! You won't be sorry
Nice video, it made me finally I ordered one (the red one) after much looking around.
Was out of the hobby for a decade but wondered into RC shop a couple of weeks ago to kill time and thought I should get my stuff up and running again. Also though I should try a rock crawler and clerk recommended a TRX-4 but it was $700+ (I'm also in Canada), which would be about as much as my 1/8 Hyper brushless truggy so I passed.
Anyway, looking forward to getting one in my hands and having as much fun as you seem to have.
That's awesome man!! You'll love it, perfect for the Canadian wilds good sir 🇨🇦💪
Nice review dude ! 👍✌️😎
Thx man!! 🐦👌
just pull the driving mode jumper pin out of the hobbywing 1060 ESC and you will have drag break.
Yep 👍 did that on the trail during that vid 😄
Awesome. Looks like a decent little truck. Looking forward to seeing it after you give it some mods. Thanks
Waiting on a few bits to come, but I'm really liking what I'm seeing 👍
please update this truck with some parts in a new vid, it would be cool to see what you can do with this knock off Traxxas lol @@disciplinerc
@@PS3Nightassassin124 already did one, and it's even better with even just a few upgrades 👌
We have the same taste Aaron. Ordered mine last weekend, should be in next weekend. I got the red. Cant wait! My last HB is still running great! When I heard this one was out , I just had to get it.Don’t have the beans for a real TRX-4😜! Awesome run and drive my dude!😎👊🏼💯
It's really awesome man, you won't be disappointed 👍
thanks buddy! @@disciplinerc 😎
I own two TRX4's, and love em. High Trail F150 and a regular TRX4 79 Bronco. Just ordered one of these up as well!
Very cool dude!! You'll be really impressed by how well it compares to higher end brands 👍
@@disciplinerc I just ordered a hobbywing 2 in 1 Fusion Pro, have that system in both of my TRX4s. Can't leave it alone, you know how it goes!😁
@@applefordguy76 right on! 👏
Nice Unboxing and Review!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😎👍
@@disciplinerc You are Welcome! I Liked a lot!
Thats a Beauty Baby Beluga!
If it wasn't for copyright I would have used that song the whole video 😅
I'm tempted woukd love to see you wack on some upgrades on this bad boy ❤
Already on it 👌
@@disciplinerc of course you are ma dude AWESOME! just purchased the yellow one for £144 !!!! looks like trx4 hop ups will fit
@@lnpxw20if you don't mind me asking where from and did you have to pay import fees? I'm also from the UK and want one but it'll be closer to £200 if I get charged import
@@CSmithyPx hi bud no import tax I think it's hit and miss if you get charged.... Been a while since I got it so price may have increased
I really like that...
And lord knows I'm not giving MY money to "sucksass" (or Tomley's "traxsucks")
Good job HB !
Thanks for the vids ya crazy B 👍
I know right but everyone needs a xmaxx
@@coolhawk2003
I personally went arrma 6s platform (fireteam, did the front bearing/shimjob first, ten bucks) and that thing is - holy 💩!
The xmaxx is cool, just not for me
👍😎
And I will buy the REAL Traxxas TRX-4 2021 Bronco with accessories.
Always wanted a Bronco trx4, but boy they are expensive. I might even consider ordering this thanks to your video 😂
It's a great machine for the money 😀
@disciplinerc Agreed! It may be a bit more expensive, but it's definitely cheaper than the real trx4 and is actually good for it's price 👍
Not me. I will buy the real TRX 4 2021 Bronco
I have got one of these and let me tell you.. it's worth every penny! I have had zero problems with it.. it was 243 dollars before tax I believe so half the cost of the real thing.. again worth every penny
I totally agree 💯% 👍
Nice review! Do we know whether it supports 3s batteries?
It looks like the ESC should but I'm not sure about all other components...
I ran it 3s out of the box no problem. The running gear is really solid 👌
@@disciplinerc great to hear. Thank you!
How many trx4 parts will fit this? Most the parts on the hg p411 clone are cross compatible with the trx4 so wondering if it's a similar deal here.
Hi, I am just getting interested in RC Crawling and have just found your channel. Great videos. I was wondering what you'd recommend for a beginner with a budget around AUD $200-300 and a preference for 1/10
Nice!! Glad to have you aboard! Honestly you are looking at it. You might find a 1/10 cheaper but they're basically toy grade. If it breaks, you won't be able to get replacement parts and will be frustrated by its poor performance out of the box. I've tried to find 1/10 for less and they don't handle well at all. If you drop down in scale, they do get cheaper. The Associated Electronics CR-12 Tioga is a 1/12 scale in that price range and is capable with quality parts. Might be worth checking out if you are capped on how much you can spend. RC can get expensive, crawlers can be a bit more than the average RC basher, but there is a lot more going on with its design. Once you start upgrading bit by bit, you'll turn an $350 Crawler into a $800 beast in no time 👍
Now that's an appropriately priced truck. They used good electronics too! I hear good things about Hobbywing.
Can confirm that Hobbywing ESCs are good. Used one as a replacement in my first gen E Revo after going through 3 of the stock Traxxas ESCs... it has more punch and better modulation for a fraction of the price!
Exactly,,
See not everyone has to be overly greedy
Not all Hobbywings are equal. The 1060 is marginal at best, while the 1080 is awesome for a brushed crawler. The 1040 that comes in a lot of large scale trucks is straight up dog shit.
@@JD-tl7ld good to know. The 880 Dual is what I put in my E Revo. It is the only Hobbywing that I have experience with
Haven't seen one of your videos until now but I'm now subscribed for future. Very entertaining and thanks for putting this affordable truck on my radar. Looks like it'll handle my trail needs just fine. I haven't gotten into crawling yet but maybe now I will.
Nice, mine Is on its way... btw, wich action cam are you using to film?
I use a GoPro Hero 9, but will be switching that up soon in the next few months
@@disciplinerc did you follow the car with the stick and the cam upside down?
@@7977killa Yeah, sometimes you have to rotate it post to get it corrected
Hi, this one of the best reviews of R1001 I've watched. Could you please let me know if charger is included in the box? and how many minutes we can drive with the battery it comes?
Yes it comes with a charger. And the stock battery will get you 40+ mins of run time 👍
@@disciplinerc Perfect news! Thank you for your prompt response.
Didnt expect to see tomley in the video
Yeah, he's a good kid 😅
There is no way in hell I'd buy an off brand RC vehicle unless there were a large number of replacement/compatible parts for them. I'm not talking about little easily replaced things, but the little bits that break and that's all she wrote.
My cheapest large scale crawler is the FMS Atlas, but at least I know that FMS is good with the cheap spare parts. I have enough spares to rebuild a couple times.
I have better stuff, but am drawn to the power wagon style so I drive it a lot. Being able to freely get parts is important to me.
I totally get your point. HB Toys has been around for awhile now and has a few 1/10's with matching part numbers. The Atlas is nice for the same price, but I just feel with the portals and styling, this one appeals to me more. Guess that's what makes this hobby great, there's something out there for everyone's taste 👍😎
I just ordered one for my wife and me. Are those 4.2 tires on 1.9 wheels? It will be our second 1/10, first was a redcat ascent but we wanted something more scale looking for out next one.
Is it still holding up? Plastic gears sketch me out a bit.
Yep 1.9, but are just a bit smaller than 4.2. I've thrashed on the transmission pretty hard and it's held up well. It's a great truck for the price 👍
Sniffs the tire glue then "accidentally" jabs the truck with the knife......Awesome! My kind of review. 👍
Haha YES!! 😁🤘
I’m a fan of Traxxas, but i do wish my TRX4 Blazer came equipped with lights i think that would ease the pain with the price a little bit lol
I hear that, shame they don't come with. But there are after market kits that are pretty budget friendly 👍
Lol you are just as bad as I am when you get a new toy lol but it looks amazing buddy I even like it 👍👌🤙🤙
I can't have nice things 😅
@@disciplinerc lol ya I know right 😂🤣🤦🤦
And if you want a full sized version,Order a Tank300! An amazingly capable and relatively cheap toyota beater!
🤔 Just looked that up, never heard of it before
A great looking truck with plenty of scale details, a 2-speed gearbox, good electronis and excellent performance - all at a price that is hard to pass up! 👍 I mean, VERY tempting but.....?! I really do find it difficult to support these overseas companies that clone (rip-off?) the designs of established manufacturers. You know all the reasons why you should support local businesses so, I won't bore you with the details. Funny thing is, some of these overseas companies are making great products and deserve a fair shot . However, blatantly copying another manufacturer's product just doesn't sit right with me. Of course, this IS Traxxas, and the temptation to stick it to them is really hard to resist, lol! Hmmmmmm? 🤔
I've actually gone into the guts of it and the running gear is actually completely different. The similarities are superficial. Ideas taken, but the design is it's own-ish 😂
@@disciplinerc Do you know if replacement parts would be easily had for this?
@@derekarsenault3652 I've seen them on AliExpress and the HB website👍
Camera inside would be dope
Not a bad idea 🤔
@@disciplinerc can't wait for that video, fox hole or a mine tunnel 😂
The real question is, are they interchangeable with Traxxas parts?
Some yes, but so far the motor mount and transmission are very different from what I've opened up
@@disciplinerc you literally could probably buy that and then build it and upgraded and swap it out with Traxxas parts!
Hey, great video😊. Would you get this over a gen 8?
This is more cost effective for sure, but the Gen8 has OEM and aftermarket parts for days readily available. This is really tough though, a dozen packs through with my rough driving and no breaks 💪
@@disciplinerc Alright, thanks! How does it compare to the rgt pro runner and the cross rc NT-4?
Wow great video
Thx dude 🙏🏻😎
Hey great video! Can it run 3S?
It can yes! 3s is perfect for this rig 👍
@@disciplinerc Oh my god, no! Now I have to buy it!
Even the way it's packaged is identical to the trx4 lol
I know right? 👍
@@disciplinerc how they are getting away with it I don't know
@@adampsrcs3487 I've gotten into the guts and it's actually quite different. Superficially it's a TRX4 but....not 😂
Amazing car. Is it possible install the body of Traxxas on this car? Thanks.
I don't have a Traxxas so I couldn't tell you unfortunately 😬
I would still only buy the real deal, this thing looks like what it is. A cheap copy, and what about parts? How long will they be avail? These knock off companies seem to disappear along with their parts.
Buy the real parts or after market
There are quite a few differences once you dig into the transmission and running gear
So is banggood considered to be a reputable outfit to purchase from? I might have to pull the trigger if you will.
Yes, I've been working with them and buying products from them for years. Very good. This truck is worth it for the price, after over a dozen packs of my bad driving, I've yet to break anything 👍😁
Is there a troubleshooting guide out there anywhere? Just got mine and it’s not going into reverse. The reverse lights come on though!
Parts availabel or interchangebal with TRX4 parts?
Some axle parts and hubs work, but most do not. It's not a direct clone at all, it is its own design just set up very similarly.
Discount Code doesn't work.
£225 🤙 i need to find the funds
is the body the same size as the original trx bronco body?
I'm not 100% sure on that as I don't have one but it's pretty scale to my other 1/10 in terms of size
I can’t afford a Traxxus but I can afford this.
And it’s my favorite color,😮
🐦👍
Yeah this is the best TRX4 😂
Better than I expected to see. Looks good and functions well but price is still a touch high for what it is . Great Vid
Yeah it was surprising. A lot of pretty cool features 👍
Whats the top speed of the beluga ?
I never did check that out. It's quick for a crawler in 2nd tho....I'd say a quick jogging pace 😅
Will trx4 axles fit on it?
I don't know for certain, but people have told me that the axle covers and portals fit up 🤷♂️
Discount code doesn't work in USA
Fixed it!! This one works BG1f5a51 👍
Oops traxxas should not have sent there manufacturing to China…
Haha so true
🤣🤣
Not me, I prefer the original Traxxas TRX 4 2021 Ford Bronco.
Hey, You're still making Great rc videos, thanks! I bought one of these using your code. Any chance of a future discount code on the new one? HB Toys 1011, Jeep
I'll see what I can do 😉
No diff lock?
No, but I've been told that the diffs are almost the same as Traxxas and that the diff kit from the TRX4 fits
I got two of these thanks to your video =) can you tell me as far as tires or upgrades in general do the traxxas parts work are the wheel nuts the same size?
Thanks!
It's more inline with typical 1/10 crawlers. I've torn it apart and aside from looking similar, the internals are quite different. Wheel wise, Traxxas hexes don't fit at all
@@disciplinerc If you get a chance to measure the wheel hex size could you let me know I can't find information anywhere about the hex size. I assume 12mm but could be wrong. Thanks!
It is too pricy for what it is, a clone that has mess it with the lights and other details. TRX4M is chaper, it is not a clone and it is quite enjoiable. BUT if you have the nice real one ... I probably will try to go for one of this to keep the other in the best saphe and mod this one to be a beast and try new things. But out of the box ... not for me.
nice
😎👌
Nice video. Greetings from Turkey. Can you give me a discount code for Turkey?
Hmm I'll have to see if I can get one
Got it fixed! Use this one BG1f5a51 👍
I tried but it didn't work.This coupon can only be used in Canada, United States
🎉 hello very good job my favorite car🎉❤
Yeah it's a real gem! So happy I found out about it 👌
Like the way you are happy :-D
Toy trucks do it to me every time 😅
So this #notabronco is actually #notabronco
👍
no diff unlockers but anyway;)
I think the Traxxas kit might fit this. Seems the housing matches up with Traxxas fittings 🤔
hb zp1005 defender and hb r1001 beluga have the same chassis, one cost 100 and the other 200... go figure.
I didn't know that...might have to grab one of those too 😄
Is that car really that good?!?
Is it worth the money?!?
I can’t believe it. That would be hell of a deal.
Wait till you see my next vid with a few upgrades 😉
@@disciplinerc hurry up!!
Can’t wait!!😉
Love your content.
@@SURCs Vid shot, just in line to edit. Not enough time in a day 😅
Oh sponsor
It's a great truck, if it wasn't I'd make sure everyone knows. Check out TomleyRC's review. He was pretty surprised too 👍
Sucks to see such blatant copyright breaches. Stuff like this is so bad for the industry.
Not in China
😂
Beluga...does that make it a whale truck ?
Yes, yes it does 😂
The quality is still very questionable. The gears, the plastics, shocks, bearings, the entire drivetrain... It's not just about the fancy features or electronics. For example Traxxas is known for using some of the highest grade plastics out there. Better save up and get the proper thing, you won't ever regret unlike this one.
I won't disagree, but I will say that for 1/3 the price, you are getting an amazing value. I've put 14 - 5200mah 3s packs through this thing, driving it hard...really hard, and nothing has broken. Check out the upgraded version video to see what I mean. For people who don't want to commit to spending a lot because they are new to the hobby, this is a great jump off point 👍
