Its ok to take it through water that deep😮
Well, I wouldn't say it's OK, as it will make all your bushings etc crusty, but it is waterproof. 👍
@@DoURC Ok Next thing im doing with my trx4m
You are the first one to make this crawling test on trx4m with true efforts ❤
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it. 👍
@RuffCrawlersRC Ok you are the first one 👍🏻🤝
This vid has settled my mind. This is the 1/18th I’m going for
Awesome, glad to have helped. Yep it's the 1/18 TRX4M 👍
@@DoURC Appart form the light mods any other mods ?
absolutely incredible footage
Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍😁
awesome off road adventure and cool run through the water
Thanks very much mate 👍
Wow, this music with these shots! I am definitley gonna use this track for some sexy B-Roll! Nice work Do U RC! 😍
Thanks very much 👍
I was really happy with this track. Finding music is a pet hate of mine, but this track was suitable I thought. 👍
Muddy muddy very cool
Thanks very much 👍
Vraiment super ❤
Thanks very much mate 👍

Thanks very much mate 👍

They're cool aren't they 👍
Super cool video...😊
Thanks very much 👍😁
I almost laid flat on the river recording this kind of video lol
🤣👍
Nice
Thanks very much 👍
Miluji TRX 4M. Na to jak je malý je super.
Yeah it's a cool little rig. 👍
Awesome sweet adventure brother good job 👍 these rigs are built solid indeed i have one too with three different bodies i swap over for different adventures
Thanks very much 👍
That's cool, I need to get myself a Bronco body I think and maybe a green Defender too 👍
@@DoURC yeah the green one is definitely a good color i bought my trx4m with the green body then i got a blank body i custom painted like the camel trophy defender and i got the orange one recently for different looks i have the fcx24 blazer i definitely recommend it man its a lil beast of a rig with the two speed and portals
@NORTHWEST RC ADVENTURES Ah cool, sounds nice on the bodies. 👍
Yeah I've got an FCX24 K5 already, done a few videos on it. Super capable rig and looks fantastic too. 👍
@@DoURC indeed man mines outta commission atm i burned out the motor recently on my last video at the beach were i took the blazer and the defender on a beach trip so im currently waiting for the part from fms its been a while i think its 3 weeks i believe from china to here in oregon lol so i can only just wait but i did do some upgrade videos on it i added some treal portal covers to it definitely will make the difference with the weight downlow well find out how it performes after i put the new motor in
@NORTHWEST RC ADVENTURES Gutted on the motor, hope the new one turns up soon. 👍
Upgrades sound good, I've got a load of brass ready to go on which I'll be doing soon. 👍
Nice Defender Scale , new subscriber from me
Thanks very much, appreciate it and hope you enjoy my other content. Check out my Land Rover playlist if you want to see more. 👍
Very good rc i have one too where did you find the sticer?
Sono Italiano i follow since you have 6 000 sub
Thanks very much, appreciate you're still with me and hope you're enjoying my content. 👍
I got the stickers on ebay, just search up 18th scale crawler stickers. 👍
Grazie mille youbare amazing
I have one. Beautiful video. Thanks. But it s dangerous to put it in the water like that. You had no problem after?
Thanks very much 👍
It's waterproof so it's OK. The bushings do get a little crusty though, but OK.
@@DoURCThe salesman in the store told me that it was possible to go into puddles but not rivers. If it still works that's fine but be careful anyway 🙃😎 however the car will be on the video for eternity
@olivierzaffino9216 I've fully submerged it with no issues. All my rigs get soaked and covered in mud. It's like a rite of passage! 🤣👍
It still works and been used many times since. 👍
Where did you get the decals for your defender? Thank you! great video!
Thanks very much 👍
Ebay for the decals, just search 18th scale RC Crawler stickers. 👍
I Need the stickers did You have a link
Ebay, just search 18th scale RC Crawler stickers and there's a few different options. 👍
Hope that helps. 👍
Got mine a couple days ago, 0 regrets. So many upgrades 😮 what tires and rims you running?
In this video it's just stock. Just finished a budget build, video will be up tomorrow. 👍
@@DoURC AWESOME. Do you know if anyone sells beaded ties and wheels that are assembled? Keep it up I'm subscribing!
@stephant3665 RCAWD do and you could use my discount code, but tbh something like Injora tyres are better tbh. 👍
They're very easy to assemble, you normally just need a 1.5mm Hex driver. 👍
@@DoURC okay... I've been using injora, tons of upgrades for my Defender! I'll check some combos and grab some soon, didn't wanna tick off the wife's that fast LOL 😆😆😆 thanks again
Just picked one of these bad boys up! Where did you get the decals? Also, is that transparent window oem? Mine came with a tinted one
Excellent, hope you enjoy it. 👍
Decals I got off ebay. 👍
Yeah mine came with clear windows, not sure if the different bodies have different windows.
great video,how did you clean it after this run?a video will be helpfull
Thanks very much 👍
Most of it gets washed off in the stream or a big puddle. Then once home I hose it down in the garden, dry it, then coat in GT85 for the next time. 👍
I have
The trx4m in Silver color
Excellent, I wish I'd got the green body instead of the red. 👍
Hello hope all is well, quick question as I'm struggling to find info on my trx4m it leans alot to one side I removed rear shock and it feels weaker compared to the other possibly why it leans? I have a pic on my tiktok of it. Question is can I add more oil? If so what's the best to use? Many thanks 😊
Yeah you add more oil, not sure what the stock weight is. I use 20 weight on my Mini RC's. You also get little spring collars included in the box you can add, which will increase spring tension, propping it up more. 👍
@DoURC awesome thank you I'll get some oil and give it a top up.
Looks really nice, but if you know what to look for, it's clearly visible. Anything you can do against the torque twist?
Oooh that sounds very suspicious, what are we looking for.....? 🤔🤣
You can stiffen up the rear springs as they tend to sag in the rear.
hihi 🙂i was looking for some upgraded rigs, to see if the often added weight does actually help or makes it worse. 🙂@@DoURC
@bltpgermany1151 It depends what you're using it for really. Extra weight low down really helps if you're rock crawling. If you're mudding it can hinder, as the extra weight makes you sink further into the mud. Also the more weight, the harder your motor and servo have to work.
Check out my Mini Crawlers playlist. I've tested out some upgrades on this TRX4M and other rigs like the FCX24 and FCX18 etc.
I've just been working on some upgrades for the new FCX24 Unimog tonight. 👍😁
How long does the battery last ?
About 45 mins to an hour or so, depends what you're doing really. Mudding and running through water drains it faster as its more work for the motor. 👍
@@DoURC thankyou for the information
Does it ship to Australia 🧐
There should be dealers worldwide, just search for your nearest. Its a Traxxas TRX4M 👍
Trx4m is not a good crawler and instead better for trail already, in my opinion.
Yeah out the box it's not great, better with mods though. Plus it's a Defender which is cool points in my book. 👍
@@DoURC yeah its the body what makes it special, same here :)
I bought one and I enjoy cruising around. But yes, I am upgrading it and step by step it getting heavier and better to crawl.
@@rcmountaingoat with a better esc/motor combination - it is a must since its stock low speed modulation is simply awful - it can be quite enough for a crawler actually. If you convert to portals too, then it will be really good. The chassis is actually ok but the stock electronics are miserable for a decent crawling experience
@@BellaT-nu4vv I ain’t got a problem with the speed. But the top heavy chassis was not practical. So I installed a lot of brass parts. I finished today and I tried to record a video of the installation. But yes, the next upgrade will be the Injora servo and motor.
Maybe too leaning on the right in the back am I wrong? A lot of trx4m are suffering from this.
Very nice video
Thanks very much 👍
Yeah it does lean. You can fit the additional spring spacers to level it out...not that I have! 🤣🤦
Awesome video!
Do you know of any antennas for it?
thanks!
Thanks very much 👍
Do you mean as an accessory? If so no sorry, but you could just look at 1/18 accessories and see what's out there. 👍
This is a very cool ride, especially in the water, great!
Thanks very much 👍😁
No mosquitoes u lucky
Ive been looking for videos like this, subscribed love the content if you have sand around you can you go on some sand?
Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍
Yeah there's some beaches not far from me. Got a few beach run videos on my channel with different rigs, check out my Crawling & Trailing playlist 👍
Hello is it waterproof 😅
Yeah, waterproof out the box 👍
Looking good out there! For a tiny truck it is big on performance!
Thanks very much 👍
Yeah they're decent little trucks. 👍
I have several scx24 models I've practically upgraded nearly every piece for, but these trx4m builds I'm seeing, especially here, are looking much better and have a better scale look as well... much better than my scx24 gladiator and bronco. I might have to get me one of these now lol
They are good rigs. Worth checking out the FMS FCX24 and FCX18 too, got reviews of both on my channel and comparisons. 👍
This is a great video. I really like your truck
Thanks very much 👍
Did you waterproof anything?
No it's completely stock. 👍
@@DoURC that’s pretty impressive, I know the scx24 if it barely touches water its toast without conformal coating. Nice video
@jayf2487 Thanks very much. 👍
I found the opposite, my scx24 has survived loads of water and mud. I found it more resilient than the trx4m tbh. 👍
@@DoURC really? I haven’t even tried putting my rigs in the water but heard the scx24 dies in water right away. Maybe il test it haha I was going to get some conformal coating just to be safe.
@jayf2487 Conformal coating is a good idea, I used it on my WPL C24-1 👍
Check out my Mini Crawlers playlist, there's a few vids of the SCX24 getting well and truly stuck into mud and water, never had an issue with it. 👍
Awesome video!
Thanks very much 👍
Great video I am glad you posted a link on my Facebook
Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍😎
