Sweet.... You won't regret it Brother, Just make sure you purchase the "Traxxas Complete BEC kit" for it, and install it before your first run. 😊👍 (That will greatly increase the overall lifespan of its steering servo) FYI; I also have videos on installing that Traxxas Complete Bec kit, And I highly recommend that you watch them before going any further.😊👍 And Not because it's another one of my videos, But purely for the reason of it being a "must see" kinda thing.😊👌 Otherwise I wish you all the Best my Brother.😁👍
nice rig man I have been on the fence with this one. Only becasue I have two other trx4's yet I love them so it looks like I will be possibly getting this as well lol..
Good unboxing video. My bday is coming up soon so I may do the same! P.s. my black carhart jacket is a worn as yours! I had to check my coat rack to make sure someone didn't steal mine haha!
44punisherable,lmao about the Carhartt comment,mine sat Jim on the tag lol same as my bibs 😂 Excellent comment Brother,and you won't regret getting the Bronco,I thank myself every time I look at the truck,lol Thanks again for watching,and commenting Brother 😎👊👊

Santa came early and dropped of a TRX 4 Bronco, all black. (I couldn’t wait....I unboxed it) my wife said Santa won’t be back again this year...oh no!!,!
First! What’s up Jim! Man I’m fricken jealous as hell! I want one of these soooo bad! This is my next crawler I buy for sure! Happy birthday to u bro! I’m gonna have to buy the black n red so when we run them together we will have two different trucks. I’m up finishing mu clodbuster build,only reason I’m up this late lol, awesome truck bro,now I gotta get one ASAP since u have one👍👍👊👊📹📹water proof blah blah blah! Love it u said it too HA!
RC After Dark oh yea u did u said it so much this videou did some classic blah blah blahs 😂 ur funny, hey man have a safe n awesome birthday! I like ur present, hey mines September 8th hint hint,jk lol later brother
This is the best renovation that Traxxas could have done to their crawler looks way better and is completely badass. I want to see how it Stacks up against the SCX10 II.
grimey 5.56,Great comments brother,and a great question about how it would stack up with a scx10 2, I Don't own any axiel RC's,so unfortunately I'm unable to compare the two vehicles,the TRX4 does pretty good compared with my twin hammers,and TF2,they all have their up's and downs,my TF2 isn't exactly a fair comparison,because it's highly modified,and it has been outperforming the TRX4 in most areas,except where speed is required,TF2 has a 65t motor,so it's kinda slow to say the least,and the TRX4 has a 20t motor,which comes in handy with 2nd gear high wheel speed hill climbs,sometimes speed is nessacery on these snow covered trails,lol But so far I'm really liking the TRX4,other then the steering servo quitting after three runs, I was kinda hoping that Traxxas had fixed that issue,but apparently they haven't,I did order a Savox sw0231mg for the truck,in anticipation of the factory servo going out,still waiting on the new servo, all and all though,I totally dig the new version of the TRX4,it certainly looks cooler then it's predecessor's 😎 being a Bronco that is 😀 Thanks again for watching,and for the Great comments my friend 😀👍👍👊👊
RC After Dark Yeah it looks like a great truck. Up where I'm at I do a lot of rock crawling and bury the truck in water a lot. The only thing that concerns me is how well it will do being submerged 50% of the time. I am absolutely digging the truck but it's got a lot of mechanical things going on which concern me when it comes to being waterproof you know what I mean? I'll subscribe to the channel you need to do some videos on how well it does out on the trail. I will say frame Style, small axles seems to be on par with the SCX10 II I would think that they would perform the same. I do like the second gear transmission. Sometimes it sucks when your trucks slower than your walking pace lol.
grimey 5.56,To tell you the truth,I'm kinda concerned about taking the TRX4 through any kind of mud,or sandy water,just because of the shift cables,I think that it would be a problem waiting to happen, My TF2 has certainly seen all kinds of water,and has been a total Champion,but it has a lot less weak spots,with moving parts,and exposed mechanical items, Personally,I probably won't be exposing my trx4 to those types of conditions,but you never know lol 😂 Excellent points,and concerns, my friend,ultimately commen sense,and good judgement, will determine how long the truck will last,without having mechanical issues,from exposure to the elements,😕 But with having a RC channel, I kinda almost need to run my rig through that crap,just so everyone else knows weather or not the truck can handle it, which is unfortunate for me lol
RC After Dark I agree with you but a lot of things I've learned along the way if you want to waterproof a system you unfortunately have to crack things open and dip them into a friend I like to call Plasti Dip! I have a couple videos myself of doing this it seems to be the only way to get more life out of anything you're going to submerge in water. I have already lost two AE-5's having the truck submerged in water lol. Which let me know to go aftermarket because axials supposedly waterproof ESC aren't worth a damn! Sealing everything is the key to making it run as long as you can. I think the trx4 is going to be a great dry truck but an absolute disaster without spending hours sealing everything watertight. That's why I try to run the least amount of electronics I can besides my ESC and RC4WD Warn winch. Can't wait to see what your results are. Great video and you're getting a lot of attention. Keep up the good work. Isn't it crazy how a review can bring you hundreds of dollars worth of problems just so people can see what the truck will do lol. That's the curse of being a CZcamsr! For me even to this day it gives me a cringe feeling the first time I scrape or tear up a brand new RC. I guess it comes with the hobby. Have fun with the truck and keep us posted. Another thing about servos I think every company out there puts in the crappiest servo they can so you absolutely have to change it out no matter what RC it is. I've noticed this with every RC I've ran.
Très beau modèle Bronco mon ami Très bonne explication très intéressante pour moi J aime beaucoup les RC J adore ta vidéo c est un plaisir pour les yeux 😎👍 Joyeux anniversaire mon ami 🎁 Je suis abonné de FRANCE et je serai fier de t'avoir comme abonné aussi 👍 Very nice model Bronco my friend Very good explanation very interesting for me I love the RC I enjoy watching your video this is a pleasure for the eyes 😎👍 I am subscribed of France And I would be proud to have you as subscriber too Happy birthday my friend 🎁
Great video! I’ve been thinking about picking one of these up. Can the battery compartment be modified for a thicker battery? I got an extra Traxxas 3S 5800mah battery I’d love to be able to use. I watched your newer video and the light kit on the truck looks sick!
yea I run the electron 7600 75c pros all I do is remove the top battery lever and then I use a velco battery strap to hold down the fat pack. Or I actually like to run the mini lipo's in my crawlers so much lighter and less top heaviness going on with those. Plent of crawl time with that for a crawler.
Shipping Department,Gotta love it when other RC enthusiasts step up to help answer questions, Thank you "That's my RC" For the question assistance, I am still relatively new to the TRX4 platform, And to "Shipping Department" From the looks of things the battery tray is very modifiable, Also there is a Company called "Bow House RC" that makes custom battery trays for the TRX4's Big thumbs up to both of you guy's 😎👍👍👊👊
No problem guys. After thinking it over about a 3rd trx4. I decided to try something different. Love the trx4s any rc for that matter but this next round might back off from the traxxas udr and get the Atees 1:8 craigsman Jeep crawler. Looks to be a monster of a beast 🤫😁
How long did it take to get over the first scratches? not taken mine out yet (got it 2 months ago) was nearly crying when I banged the shell into the door frame in case I scratched it lol
Lol about 2 minutes into my first run,Not too worried about Scratches,if you are afraid of scratching it,You won't ever have any fun with it! Besides, Scratches,are like Badges of Honor,for making it through the tuff sections unscathed! Lol 😊 Go out there,and roll that baby over a few times,that will help you get past the initial shock,And then it's all gravey from then on,😀 My Bronco is absolutely covered in Scratches,and gouges,that go across the entire body,"All Trail related of course" And personally, I believe that those little, natural,imperfections,Help towards making the vehicle look more realistic, You wouldn't exactly be out wheeling,in a brand new freshly painted vehicle,would you ? 😕 My recommendation for great times,would Not too be afraid of scratching it! Now go out there and have some Real fun with that machine! 😀😊👍👍 Thanks for your great comment,and for checking out the video Al.😎👍
@@R.C.A.D. very true, I'll give it another week of looking new then take it out lol, not so much the lexan, more the chrome bits they look sooo nice when new
I agree whole heartedly about the Chrome Goodies,I truly do! I amplified the Chrome Scratching Heartbreak,by Doing a Bunch of "over the top",Neon Orange Sharbie Highlights,too All of the Chrome,😊 he! he! Lol So the first few Scratches were truly heartbreaking,😢 But very shortly afterwards, I started looking at all of my other RC rigs,and all of the "Trail Kisses" that they have acquired over the years,and flashing back too how they happened,mostly ending with a smile,in remembrance of scratch causing situation,😊 And at that point,I felt a slight twinge of accomplishment for all of those scratches,😂lol And was immediately relieved of any future Trail Rubs for the Bronco,or any other New vehicle from then on out,😀 If you're afraid too scratch it, then why even have it at all, right,😕lol it definitely makes life more bearable,when you have the truck completely on it's side,with only two tires barely making contact,as your Scraping your way,all the way down the side of the truck,"on the rock it's Pinned against" but still making forward momentum,so you can't stop now situations,😂lol In time,you will learn too love each,and every one of those Battle Scar's,😀😊👍👍 You've had her for like a month now,It's time to introduce her too some Off-Road Action! 😀 Now Go have some fun Brother! 😎👍
That Guy,I agree to an extent,my TF2 has crazy flex,and it can be detrimental at times,lol the trx4 is probably going to be my main trail rig,don't know how much I'll modify it,I'm pretty happy with it the way it is 😎 Thanks for watching brother😀👊👊
😂 That's pretty good lol But in all reality it's price is comparable with everything else in its class,plus it has the bonus of portal axles, At least it was,until Red Cat releases the Gen 8 International Scout II "mid December" for the price of around $300.00 us dollars, That might end up being a game changer ? especially for the price, I've never owned a Red Cat vehicle so I can't personally speak on their quality, The TRX4 on the other hand I can personally say is a outstanding vehicle,my TF2 has been sitting on a shelf since I got the Bronco lol, and it's a Sick TF2,I've got a stupid amount of money wrapped up into that thing, I'm not trying too say anything bad about the Trail Finder,the lack of portals is it's only real drawback,"I'm slowly working on the portal conversion" The only problem that I have with the TRX4 is the stock steering servo,my servo quit working after about 2 days, and my brothers servo quit working after about 2 weeks, Otherwise it's been a real fun, and capable vehicle for the price, Think about the price of a Tamiya Bruiser back in the 80's,you couldn't get one for less $700.00,it's currently going for around $1,000.00, without a radio,and esc, "recently a bruiser cloned was released "RTR" "HG P407" for less than $250.00 bucks," Which at first glance looks to be a great deal,but after looking at the rough cut diecast gears,and other drive train parts,a few red flags popped up,"parts durability,and availability" Ultimately I get what you're saying about things being too expensive for what they are, and I fully agree with you, But all and all,all RC's considered from the early 80's too the current RC market, the TRX4 is a Great vehicle for the price,my first Tamiya frog cost me around $300.00 bucks back in the 80's "vehicle kit and radio" I would have gladly forked another $159.00+ shipping for a trx4 back then lol 😀 But like I said,in Today's RC market the TRX4 is a very nicely equipped vehicle for the price,by comparison with it's current competitors, Thanks for the Great comment my friend,and for watching the video, sorry for the long winded reply, 😀👍👍🍻
frank romo,Hmm! I'm not sure Frank,the wheel base is 12 and 1/4 inches,from the center of the front wheel spindle,to the center of the rear axle,and the body is roughly 19,and1/2 inches long,and 9 inches wide across the wheel wells,that's from fender flare,to fender flare,and it roughly 6,and 1/2 inches tall from the bottom of the door, too the top of the roof, The body posts are exactly 12 inches from center of the front post,to the center of the rear post,the posts themselves are 2,and 3/4 inches apart, Hopefully this is helpful,😀 Thanks for watching Brother 😎👊👊
Nope! Lipo's and water don't get along very well,😕 But it all depends on the battery pack as well,🤔 Some hard case packs are "somewhat" splash resistant, compared to a Soft pack battery, But generally speaking you should avoid water when running a Lipo battery,🤔 Lipo's can burst into flames when exposed to Air or Water, So they are pretty much Airtight from the factory, But that doesn't mean that they are Waterproof, A light Splashing is generally ok, but they definitely can't handle being Submarined. You can however take steps to make a lipo more water friendly, Which basically involves dipping the battery in "Plasti Dip" which is a Rubberized tool coating, But that isn't always full proof,🤔 you have to make sure that the plasti dip makes it around, & between, all of the wires coming out of the battery, But water can still make it into the battery if you're not careful, And that's by leaking in.. between the Battery wire's, & the Battery wire coating or insulation,🤔 And there's another problem that can happen over time as well, And that's "Condensation build up"😕 Which can happen if the battery gets to warm while running in Cool outdoor temperatures,🤔 which can cause condensation on the inside of the battery,😕 And that's kinda like a ticking time bomb💣😕 except you'll never know when she's about to blow.😬😵 Ultimately when it comes to taking Lipo's in the water, It's a Do At Your Own Risk Situation.🤔😕 Thanks for your great question and for checking out the video my friend.😊👍
Well I guess you may not be a big fan of body pins but unless you have a bright idea on how to secure bodies without them you're going to use body pins like everybody else
Lol 😁 Yes I use body pins, with the exception of my Trail Finder Two,and my WLtoys 10428 Wrangler,The TF2 has four large grub screws that are threaded into the stock mounts,they stick out about one eighth of an inch,and the body is able to spread over them,allowing them to stick through the body's stock screw mounting holes,it's very strong,the truck has been rolled countless times in the two years that I've owned it,and the body has never popped off,and can be mounted and removed quickly, The WLtoys uses Velcro,it can also be mounted and removed quickly,but it's not the best for rollovers lol But all of the other RC's in my collection have body pins Thanks for the Great comment,and for watching the video my friend 😀👍👍
P.S. Nice Alice Chalmers WC picture,I have two sitting in my backyard,one is in great operating condition,the other is yard art,also have a ford 9n Jubalie it's quite gutless compared to the Alice 😁
Or How about Three years later 😂 lol My apologies for the late reply my friend, your comment, and well over 1,000 other comments, were previously missing in action, and suddenly reappeared today, 🙄 go figure! Anyways... It's currently 3 years later 😂 As for your comment; I'm not sure what your trying to say ? 😕 But for the sake of fyi the Bronco is currently over Three years old, it's been used and abused on a regular basis, and it's still running like a champion with all of its original parts. 😊👍 Sorry once again for the late reply, and many thanks for checking out the video my friend.😁🤜🤛 Sincerely Jim C. 11/7/21 2:50am
Splendid !!! Really splendid body , excellent purchase and great new unboxing !!

grimey 5.56,To tell you the truth,I'm kinda concerned about taking the TRX4 through any kind of mud,or sandy water,just because of the shift cables,I think that it would be a problem waiting to happen,
My TF2 has certainly seen all kinds of water,and has been a total Champion,but it has a lot less weak spots,with moving parts,and exposed mechanical items,
Personally,I probably won't be exposing my trx4 to those types of conditions,but you never know lol 😂
Excellent points,and concerns,
my friend,ultimately commen sense,and good judgement,
will determine how long the truck will last,without having mechanical issues,from exposure to the elements,😕
But with having a RC channel,
I kinda almost need to run my rig through that crap,just so everyone else knows weather or not the truck can handle it,
which is unfortunate for me lol
RC After Dark I agree with you but a lot of things I've learned along the way if you want to waterproof a system you unfortunately have to crack things open and dip them into a friend I like to call Plasti Dip! I have a couple videos myself of doing this it seems to be the only way to get more life out of anything you're going to submerge in water. I have already lost two AE-5's having the truck submerged in water lol. Which let me know to go aftermarket because axials supposedly waterproof ESC aren't worth a damn! Sealing everything is the key to making it run as long as you can. I think the trx4 is going to be a great dry truck but an absolute disaster without spending hours sealing everything watertight. That's why I try to run the least amount of electronics I can besides my ESC and RC4WD Warn winch. Can't wait to see what your results are. Great video and you're getting a lot of attention. Keep up the good work. Isn't it crazy how a review can bring you hundreds of dollars worth of problems just so people can see what the truck will do lol. That's the curse of being a CZcamsr! For me even to this day it gives me a cringe feeling the first time I scrape or tear up a brand new RC. I guess it comes with the hobby. Have fun with the truck and keep us posted. Another thing about servos I think every company out there puts in the crappiest servo they can so you absolutely have to change it out no matter what RC it is. I've noticed this with every RC I've ran.
grimey 5.56,Great advice my friend,I use plastic dip on everything,my TF2 is a fine example lol
Très beau modèle Bronco mon ami
Très bonne explication très intéressante pour moi
J aime beaucoup les RC

Very nice model Bronco my friend
Very good explanation very interesting for me
I love the RC
I enjoy watching your video this is a pleasure for the eyes 😎👍
I am subscribed of France
And I would be proud to have you as subscriber too
Happy birthday my friend 🎁
Thank you very much my friend,your kind words,and awesome comment is greatly appreciated,😀👊👊🍻
P.S. I also subbed you back 😎
Great video! I’ve been thinking about picking one of these up. Can the battery compartment be modified for a thicker battery? I got an extra Traxxas 3S 5800mah battery I’d love to be able to use. I watched your newer video and the light kit on the truck looks sick!
yea I run the electron 7600 75c pros all I do is remove the top battery lever and then I use a velco battery strap to hold down the fat pack. Or I actually like to run the mini lipo's in my crawlers so much lighter and less top heaviness going on with those. Plent of crawl time with that for a crawler.
ThatsMyRc thank man.
Shipping Department,Gotta love it when other RC enthusiasts step up to help answer questions,
Thank you "That's my RC"
For the question assistance,
I am still relatively new to the TRX4 platform,
And to "Shipping Department"
From the looks of things the battery tray is very modifiable,
Also there is a Company called "Bow House RC" that makes custom battery trays for the TRX4's
Big thumbs up to both of you guy's 😎👍👍👊👊
No problem guys. After thinking it over about a 3rd trx4. I decided to try something different. Love the trx4s any rc for that matter but this next round might back off from the traxxas udr and get the Atees 1:8 craigsman Jeep crawler. Looks to be a monster of a beast 🤫😁
ThatsMyRc,The Cragsman is a beast,can't blame anyone for wanting that Rig 😀
Happy B-Day
dave grig,Thanks for the b-day wishes Dave,very much appreciated my friend,😀👍👍👊👊
How long did it take to get over the first scratches? not taken mine out yet (got it 2 months ago) was nearly crying when I banged the shell into the door frame in case I scratched it lol
Lol about 2 minutes into my first run,Not too worried about Scratches,if you are afraid of scratching it,You won't ever have any fun with it! Besides, Scratches,are like Badges of Honor,for making it through the tuff sections unscathed!
Lol 😊 Go out there,and roll that baby over a few times,that will help you get past the initial shock,And then it's all gravey from then on,😀
My Bronco is absolutely covered in Scratches,and gouges,that go across the entire body,"All Trail related of course" And personally,
I believe that those little, natural,imperfections,Help towards making the vehicle look more realistic,
You wouldn't exactly be out wheeling,in a brand new freshly painted vehicle,would you ? 😕 My recommendation for great times,would Not too be afraid of scratching it!
Now go out there and have some Real fun with that machine! 😀😊👍👍
Thanks for your great comment,and for checking out the video Al.😎👍
@@R.C.A.D. very true, I'll give it another week of looking new then take it out lol, not so much the lexan, more the chrome bits they look sooo nice when new
I agree whole heartedly about the Chrome Goodies,I truly do!
I amplified the Chrome Scratching Heartbreak,by Doing a Bunch of "over the top",Neon Orange Sharbie Highlights,too All of the Chrome,😊 he! he! Lol
So the first few Scratches were truly heartbreaking,😢
But very shortly afterwards,
I started looking at all of my other RC rigs,and all of the "Trail Kisses" that they have acquired over the years,and flashing back too how they happened,mostly ending with a smile,in remembrance of scratch causing situation,😊
And at that point,I felt a slight twinge of accomplishment for all of those scratches,😂lol
And was immediately relieved of any future Trail Rubs for the Bronco,or any other New vehicle from then on out,😀
If you're afraid too scratch it,
then why even have it at all, right,😕lol
it definitely makes life more bearable,when you have the truck completely on it's side,with only two tires barely making contact,as your Scraping your way,all the way down the side of the truck,"on the rock it's Pinned against" but still making forward momentum,so you can't stop now situations,😂lol
In time,you will learn too love each,and every one of those Battle Scar's,😀😊👍👍
You've had her for like a month now,It's time to introduce her too some Off-Road Action! 😀
Now Go have some fun Brother! 😎👍
This is just me i dont like a lot of flex for my trail trucks but for my comp crawler hella flex
That Guy,I agree to an extent,my TF2 has crazy flex,and it can be detrimental at times,lol the trx4 is probably going to be my main trail rig,don't know how much I'll modify it,I'm pretty happy with it the way it is 😎
Thanks for watching brother😀👊👊
RC After Dark just subscribe nice vids bro
That Guy,Thanks again Brother,and fyi I'm gonna do a RTR scale trail truck giveaway at 1,000 subs 😗😎👊👊
Sweet video. CZcams never alerted me on any of your videos 😡
It's been doing the same with me Anthony,On other people's videos,and people's comments on my videos 😕
All $459.00 plus shippings worth. For that amount it better crawl up the side of the house.
😂 That's pretty good lol
But in all reality it's price is comparable with everything else in its class,plus it has the bonus of portal axles,
At least it was,until Red Cat releases the Gen 8 International Scout II "mid December" for the price of around $300.00 us dollars,
That might end up being a game changer ?
especially for the price,
I've never owned a Red Cat vehicle so I can't personally speak on their quality,
The TRX4 on the other hand I can personally say is a outstanding vehicle,my TF2 has been sitting on a shelf since I got the Bronco lol,
and it's a Sick TF2,I've got a stupid amount of money wrapped up into that thing,
I'm not trying too say anything bad about the Trail Finder,the lack of portals is it's only real drawback,"I'm slowly working on the portal conversion"
The only problem that I have with the TRX4 is the stock steering servo,my servo quit working after about 2 days,
and my brothers servo quit working after about 2 weeks,
Otherwise it's been a real fun, and capable vehicle for the price,
Think about the price of a Tamiya Bruiser back in the 80's,you couldn't get one for less $700.00,it's currently going for around $1,000.00,
without a radio,and esc,
"recently a bruiser cloned was released "RTR" "HG P407" for less than $250.00 bucks,"
Which at first glance looks to be a great deal,but after looking at the rough cut diecast gears,and other drive train parts,a few red flags popped up,"parts durability,and availability"
Ultimately I get what you're saying about things being too expensive for what they are,
and I fully agree with you,
But all and all,all RC's considered from the early 80's too the current RC market,
the TRX4 is a Great vehicle for the price,my first Tamiya frog cost me around $300.00 bucks back in the 80's
"vehicle kit and radio"
I would have gladly forked another $159.00+ shipping for a trx4 back then lol 😀
But like I said,in Today's RC market the TRX4 is a very nicely equipped vehicle for the price,by comparison with it's current competitors,
Thanks for the Great comment my friend,and for watching the video,
sorry for the long winded reply, 😀👍👍🍻
Nice, how tall are the tires floor to top of tire?
KriK Mo,they are approximately 4 and 3/8 of an inch from floor to the top of the tire,
hope it's helpful my friend,and Thanks for watching Brother
😎👊👊
RC After Dark thx man!!
Will this bronco body fit on a vaterra ascender?
frank romo,Hmm! I'm not sure Frank,the wheel base is 12 and 1/4 inches,from the center of the front wheel spindle,to the center of the rear axle,and the body is roughly 19,and1/2 inches long,and 9 inches wide across the wheel wells,that's from fender flare,to fender flare,and it roughly 6,and 1/2 inches tall from the bottom of the door,
too the top of the roof,
The body posts are exactly 12 inches from center of the front post,to the center of the rear post,the posts themselves are 2,and 3/4 inches apart,
Hopefully this is helpful,😀
Thanks for watching Brother
😎👊👊
Is battery waterproof?
Nope! Lipo's and water don't get along very well,😕
But it all depends on the battery pack as well,🤔
Some hard case packs are "somewhat" splash resistant, compared to a Soft pack battery, But generally speaking you should avoid water when running a Lipo battery,🤔
Lipo's can burst into flames when exposed to Air or Water, So they are pretty much Airtight from the factory, But that doesn't mean that they are Waterproof, A light Splashing is generally ok, but they definitely can't handle being Submarined.
You can however take steps to make a lipo more water friendly, Which basically involves dipping the battery in "Plasti Dip" which is a Rubberized tool coating, But that isn't always full proof,🤔 you have to make sure that the plasti dip makes it around, & between, all of the wires coming out of the battery, But water can still make it into the battery if you're not careful, And that's by leaking in.. between the Battery wire's, & the Battery wire coating or insulation,🤔 And there's another problem that can happen over time as well, And that's "Condensation build up"😕
Which can happen if the battery gets to warm while running in Cool outdoor temperatures,🤔 which can cause condensation on the inside of the battery,😕 And that's kinda like a ticking time bomb💣😕 except you'll never know when she's about to blow.😬😵
Ultimately when it comes to taking Lipo's in the water, It's a Do At Your Own Risk Situation.🤔😕
Thanks for your great question and for checking out the video my friend.😊👍
How to bay
?😕
Well I guess you may not be a big fan of body pins but unless you have a bright idea on how to secure bodies without them you're going to use body pins like everybody else
Lol 😁 Yes I use body pins,
with the exception of my Trail Finder Two,and my WLtoys 10428 Wrangler,The TF2 has four large grub screws that are threaded into the stock mounts,they stick out about one eighth of an inch,and the body is able to spread over them,allowing them to stick through the body's stock screw mounting holes,it's very strong,the truck has been rolled countless times in the two years that I've owned it,and the body has never popped off,and can be mounted and removed quickly,
The WLtoys uses Velcro,it can also be mounted and removed quickly,but it's not the best for rollovers lol
But all of the other RC's in my collection have body pins
Thanks for the Great comment,and for watching the video my friend 😀👍👍
P.S. Nice Alice Chalmers WC picture,I have two sitting in my backyard,one is in great operating condition,the other is yard art,also have a ford 9n Jubalie it's quite gutless compared to the Alice 😁
How to day
Or How about Three years later 😂 lol
My apologies for the late reply my friend, your comment, and well over 1,000 other comments, were previously missing in action, and suddenly reappeared today, 🙄 go figure! Anyways... It's currently 3 years later 😂
As for your comment;
I'm not sure what your trying to say ? 😕
But for the sake of fyi the Bronco is currently over Three years old, it's been used and abused on a regular basis, and it's still running like a champion with all of its original parts.
😊👍
Sorry once again for the late reply, and many thanks for checking out the video my friend.😁🤜🤛
