100 Gate Trail w/ My Top Heavy Traxxas TRX4 Defender at UK Scale Nationals
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.พ. 2025
- We're back at the UK Scale Nationals with my top heavy Traxxas TRX4 Defender to take on Trail 1. This year the trail had rocks, hill climbs, roots and mud and was a great challenge. Sit back, get your favourite drink and snack and see how the Traxxas TRX4 Defender does on the trail.
Before anyone says it, I know it's noisy, something isn't right with the spur to pinion mesh even though I've tried every combination on mounting holes etc! I'll sort it!
I think without the Hobbywing Fusion Pro I would have really struggled at times, as it gave me that instant wheel speed to hop over obstacles in the past I would have gotten stuck on!

I never grow tired of watching this rig. I also love the skill with which you drive such a top heavy vehicle. Keep up the awesome content!
Thanks very much, really appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the video. I like the challenge, especially driving one handed too.
It's definitely much better now with the new wheels and HW Fusion Pro 👍
Awesome drive and video 👍🤠
@@MikeRCWorld Thanks very much 👍

Great trail ! All natural, no man-made features like other parks! This video made me believe that I was into the woods driving that Land Rover Defender!
Thanks very much 👍
It's an awesome event with some fantastic terrain. One of my favourite places to crawl. 👍
I didn't realize just how relaxing this was going to be. Not boring by any means just very peaceful. Of course the truck and skill together are impressive as well! Great video.
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it. I've got a few more like it if my RC Crawling and Trailing playlist 👍
@DoURC Sweet! I'll check them out. I'm not sure if you've ever dabbled in short course and just the faster truck builds at all. I'm trying to decide which way to go. Faster racing stuff or slower detailed crawlers. New to this still. Looking for good backyard action so probably more so smaller scale racing or any crawlers or like I said are there any trucks that can kind of give you both?
@mattyjbarnhart1711 Not sure there's much that will give you both tbh, as they're quite different things. Loads of options out there though. I've got quite a few crawler reviews on my Reviews playlist and a few bashers.
I would look at a website like Amain Hobbies or Modelsport and look at the options. 👍
Ive just spent the most wonderful 28 mins watching this beautiful machine tackle the course , thank you for this awesome post .....Harry, Ps ....Of course your driving was epic too 🤭😁
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it. It was a great event and really challenging 100 gate section. 👍
I've got similar videos of a 100 gate trail with my even heavier Toyota FJ40 as well. Check out my Crawling and Trailing playlist. 👍
@DoURC yes I seen that FJ40 in your 2023 favourite list . Ile be having a look at that one later today 🤗....Harry
What I learnt from this is that Clarkson was right: speed and power is the answer to every situation.
🤣🤣🤣 Sometimes you have to power through it. 👍😁
Strange to see so many giants wandering around off in the distance. I'm glad they were friendly. :)
🤣 Yeah, just don't take food with you when in giant country! 😬
Coming back here to let you know how much of a fan I am of your rig. I love how many scale trail goodies you stack on it!
This video is what made me check out the TRX 4 for my first crawler, and I just got mine in red. 🙂 thanks for the inspiration!!
Ah excellent, glad it gave you inspiration and I appreciate you coming back to let me know. 👍😎
I love my TRX4 Defender, it's just such a great all round rig.
I'll be overhauling mine soon, all new bearings, new gearbox and going to attempt to clear the windows and fit an interior with driver too. 👍😁
...I reckon I need some more accessories too! 🤣👍😁
@@DoURC that’s awesome, looking forward to watching the interior fitting process along the way!
Remarkable rig and masterful operating.
Thanks very much 👍😁
Great video! 👍Perfect camera work, a very nice car and a great location! 👏 🙏👏
Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍👍
Love the kit on this Defender. It looks great!
Thanks very much, I'm a sucker for accessories and bits! 🤣😁
Thoroughly entertaining watching your rig ploughing through. You and your rig has just made me fork out on a Red Defender last week 👍
Thanks very much 👍
Ah awesome, they're great fun and such cool rigs. 👍😎
Hope you enjoy yours. 👍
My Mrs thinks I just wasted half an hour of my life 😂 but I really enjoyed it 👍
🤣🤣🤣 Well at least you enjoyed it. 👍 Whenever I talk to my wife about RC her eyes just glaze over, like, hellooooo, hellooooo...insert tumbleweed! 🤣🤣🤣
Yep same with my girl. Hoping we can get a couple 1/16 ish trucks soon, build a little track in the yard, and get some races going together. May spark something in her haha.
Top heavy or not, that is one of the best looking trail crawlers I have seen. It looks like it has seen some stuff... 😆
Thanks very much 👍
It's certainly seen some action! 🤣😬👍
AWESOMENESS!!! 😎
Thanks very much 👍😁😎
Pretty awesom 👏🏼 I rock my 1:18 Defender 👍🏼
Thanks very much 👍😎
Hobbywing Fusion Pro 2300kv, = pure AWESOMENESS!!!!!! 🔥
I love the brushless setup, makes such a difference. 👍😎
Great course great driving n great videoing!!! Awesome vid!!!
Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍
19:10 The way the car falls is funny
🤣 Glad it was entertaining! 🤣😁👍
nice TRX adventure with all the crawler element included!
Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍😁
Out of all my RC vehicles, land air or water I love my TRX 4 defender the most
Excellent, they're great rigs aren't they. Mine is still my favourite rig. 👍😎
2:40 bro really want to get up that rock 😂
If you fail try again...and again
...and again! 🤣😬
It may be top heavy but it looks sick
Thanks very much 👍😁
What’s the weight of this thing with lipo 😅
@@evoxgamerz5877 Not sure, I haven't weighed it.
Might be heavy but that suspension and the car is sick. Keep the content
Thanks very much.
I love it, my favourite rig. 👍😁
Awesome video mate 👍 👌
Thanks very much mate 👍😁
very nice bro 😊💪👍👋
Thanks very much mate 👍
It's nice video and nice defender ! 😊
Thanks very much. 👍
Double thumbs up if you made it through all 28 minutes! 🤣👍
Very nice Video 😊🎉🤙🏼
Thanks very much 👍
Fishing freaks power 🔥
🐟🐠🐟👍
Would love to see the camera view from inside the RC.
Yeah that would be cool. 👍
Nice video, I like it!
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it. 👍
Hello i promised I'd check out ur channel and here i am you might not remember me i do haha so far im quite enjoying it best of luck to you 🤟
Excellent, glad you're enjoying it. I can't remember my own name half the time, so no offence intended if I can't remember you. 🤣👍😁
Thanks for checking out the channel, was I talking to you in person or on Instagram or TikTok? 🤔😬
It's okay friend we talked earlier i promised to check out ur channel and i did it's like i went back from my childhood
But my name is Ren btw 😅 i was the agent guy from earlier 😂
Wow best RC
Thanks very much 👍
It's a very nice Parcoure and a very good Driver 👍😉, bravo! What's the weigth of your very nice Scale-Defender?
Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍
Oooh good question, not sure on the weight, I'll have to weigh it. It's starting to get pretty heavy now though. 👍
Hello I have a question from where did you get that winch ?
Traxxas, it's the Traxxas Pro Scale winch. 👍
It looks too fucking good man.. it’s just beauty in a bottle
Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍😁
@@DoURC you made me buy my first 1/10 crawler today - defender gray at traxxas HQ !
@Daniyoyo Ah awesome, I love the look of the Gray body. Hope you enjoy it. 👍
Do you seal up the breather holes in the rims, or do you let the foams get wet??
Ignore that, the rims I’ve purchased don’t actually have breather holes!
I was going to say, most beadlocks are sealed. 👍
That things like great!! Loved the video! Where did you get those fenders?
Thanks very much 👍
The fenders are stock on the TRX4 👍
That looks very fun. I just picked up mine. Where did you get the bungie cord net for the top of the rack? And where do you find all those decals for 1/10? Is there a particular vendor you recommend?
Yeah it was great fun. 👍
Roof net was from Aliexpress. Stickers from Ebay. I get a lot of little bits from Aliexpress. For bigger stuff I normally use Modelsport 👍
I love this rig and this vid! Can you tell me where I can get some stickers along the lines of yours? Cheers! I’m building up the orange Land Rover right now!
Thanks very much 👍
Yeah I just got the stickers off ebay. Just search up RC Crawler stickers 👍
I love the scale accessories. where can I find some like it?
Thanks very much 👍
Some I made, the others like sand ladders and bucket I got off Aliexpress. Search up RC Crawler Accessories 👍
Love this ! Looks like so much fun. Got my first trx4 on my way in a few days. What would be your first upgrades ?
Thanks very much 👍
Awesome, I'd say add some low down weight to the front, especially if it's the Defender. Also if you're going to run it in water or mud, seal the vents on the tyres to save the foams. 👍
Do you have trx4m and trx4 both of you ?🤔
@@DoURCplease make a video on your upgrades please
@PSYCHO_BEATS Check out my Whats on the Bench series, I discuss some of them on there. Added more since then too, so will do another update soon. 👍
Curious where you got your winch kit? Looks great on the defeneder.
Thanks very much 👍
I bought mine from Modelsport in the UK, but it's the Traxxas Pro Scale winch kit. I've got a review of it in my Reviews playlist if you want to see more on it. Imo it's a really good kit and has taken loads of abuse. I found it worked better connecting it directly to the receiver, instead of using the separate power cable. 👍
So fascinated and curious about these trucks, are they custom made or can i buy them online like what brand or model should i look for that is as realistic as this one in the video? I tried going to online stores but they all look like childrens toys
Yeah you can buy them online. If you look at the Linktree link in Bio I've got links to various different ones. Also if you check out my Reviews playlist I've reviewed this TRX4 Defender and many others. 👍
@@DoURC thanks for the info!
@@edcAdventures. No problem 👍
Quick questions. Can you tell us about your decorations item ? Where did you bought them?
Some I bought off Aliexpress like the sand ladders, bucket, window guards. Others I made like the bed rolls, roof boxes etc. 👍
Fishing freaks Fans come onn❤

Apo ith avndy second chanal ala layy
Wow 😮
Thanks very much 👍😁
After I'm done rebuilding my wrangler lj 4.0 6 speed im thinking of getting either a trx4 or 4m. Love the realistic lookof your setup! What kind of runtime do you get on a trail like this?
Thanks very much 👍
This trail took me about an hour to complete. I'm not sure how much battery was left, but with a decent lipo setup you could get a couple of hours trailing. Obviously things like weight, how you use it etc all play a part. 👍
@@DoURC wow that's way longer then I expected! Thanks again for all the information! You have answered all my most important questions I could not find answers to anywhere! Lastly, do you you have a specific dealer you buy from that you would recommend? I'd like to support them and I'd like to tell them who sent me!
@businessraptor127 No problem at all, happy to help. Any more questions feel free to add a new comment, as I don't always see all the replies.
In the UK I normally order from Modelsport as their service is always good. 👍
are the shocks stock?
Yeah 👍
Who doesnt love a good Land Rover?
I know I do! 🤣👍😁
People that have to pay to maintain them lol.
19:11 “send it!… crunch.”
Sometimes you just have too. 👍😁
Awesome works! New into this. How is the scoring system works?
Thanks very much 👍
This was just for fun, you can do comps as well at most events, but I just do it for fun. 👍
How much brass are you running down low?
Nothing in this video, just steel wheels with wheel weights. 👍
@@DoURC what kid of wheel weights? Internal?
@jaycevessier7554 Yeah, basically like real car wheel weights added to the inner ring. Think I added about 75g per wheel iirc. It's in one of my TRX4 upgrade videos. 👍
@@DoURC hell yeah, Thankyou for the reply’s man. I just got into this about 2 years ago and I’m hooked. I’m still learning but I’ve learned so much from you guys that take the time to reply. Thankyou again
@jaycevessier7554 No problem at all, happy to help. Any more questions fire away. 👍
Hey, all. I know I’m a bit late to this but, I’m going to buy my first Axial Jeep In a couple of months. I’ve started preliminary research, so I know the cost of the jeep. How much would it be to add all these extra bits? All responses appreciated!
If you search up RC Crawler Accessories you'll see lots of options. I make a lot of mine, like the roof boxes, bedrolls etc as its far cheaper. My TRX4 is brushless as well though, which is more money. It really depends what you want to do with it. I'd suggest run it first, then look at what upgrades you want to do. 👍
Awesome, thanks is for the tips. I did find a website early on, but it looked kinda shady with their return policy.
What are those tyres you’re using mate?? And are you running foams inside or silicone inserts??
They're the Injora Extreme Mud Terrain tyres with their dual stage foams. 👍
@@DoURC Do you know if the silicone inserts are any good?
@Real_rescuer I haven't tried any yet so not sure. Look good though. 👍
@@DoURC I have a set on order, I will let you know what I think of them when they arrive
So after watching this I ordered the same tyres, along with a set of heavy rims from injora, but one of my rims keep spinning inside the tyre, do you have any advice for this, do I add a drop of glue?? I have to keep taking the wheel apart to dry the bead
Very good
Thanks very much 👍
what wheels and tires are you using
Injora wheels and Injora mud terrain tyres, full specs are in the description. 👍
How do I get or build one of these
If you want to build one, you can get the Sport kit, otherwise buy the TRX4 ready to run. Either online or hobby shop, just Google Traxxas TRX4 👍
What tyre model on Red land rover at start video?
So soft
Do you mean the red Land Rover that is in the entire video? 🤣
The tyres are Injora Extreme Mud Terrain 122x48mm 👍
What wheels are these, I absolutely love them.
Thanks very much, they're from Injora. Check out their website and you'll see them. 👍
I just went through your channel and found the link, thank you for the response, I really love your build.
Fishing freaks ❤❤
🐠🐟👍
Do U RC? more like king of rc ❤
Why thanks very much. Not sure I'm the king, there's definitely better channels out there, but thank you. 👍😁
How do you find the trails
This was at an event 👍
@DoURC oh ok
What kind of tires are these?
I already found it, it doesn't matter
Spec is in the description. 👍
OK great 👍😎
does anyone know if this is normal because on my trx4m bronco when I go up a rock or climb a hill my 2 back tries just stop working they don’t drive just the front 2 and solutions?
Sounds like something mechanical is broken there, as they are locked diffs. If you remove the rear diff cover, is anything broken?
@@DoURC some people are saying that the teeth inside my be broken
@user-zx7vt6ix1r Yeah could be. Could also be that the rear diff output bushing/bearing is gone, so the diff isn't always making contact with the output gear.
Right Ethra please Parayu❤ not Nanna girlfriend Nanna where Dikka, Nadu😊
❓️🤔
Video yang sangat bagus, menginspirasi buat saya
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it. 👍
What scale is this one fella , isnthat the 1/10?
@@SimPilotPro Yeah 1/10. 👍
@DoURC just bought , looks a right good laugh.
@SimPilotPro Awesome. 👍 They are great fun. I'd definitely recommend going brushless if you want more punch and power, makes it sooooo much more fun. 👍😎
this car is original when it comes to electronics?
No, it's running a brushless Hobbywing Fusion Pro 2300kv combo 👍
Stock radio gear though. 👍
This car is trx4m or trx4 ?
This is the 1/10 scale TRX4 👍
✊️😎power rc
Thanks very much 👍😁
Oooo
🤣😁
Matath ona😮😮😮😊😊😊😊
👍😎😁
i like video friend
Thanks very much 👍
comps in the us are different. backing up is minus points, and it looks like there arent any gate judges to see if you touch. Just observing the video.
This wasn't a comp, just a bit of fun. There are comps at events in the UK like yours, but I just do the fun trails. 👍
@DoURC understood. Nice build regardless. 👌 I'm a scale trail guy. And I run a hobby shop (small flex) the trx4 platform pairs with the fusion system flawlessly. Makes the rig have wheel speed and a low range that's unmatched. 👌
Ma dream rc
It's an awesome rig, definitely my favourite 👍
Nicee videoo❤❤❤
Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍😎
Genial .
Que maravilla de video.
Saludos.
Thanks very much, appreciate it. 👍😎
Berapa budget untuk upgrade rc?
Do you mean for the RC itself or things like brushless motor? TRX4 is about $560 stock and brushless setup was about $150 or so.
nice
Thanks very much 👍
Good 👍👍
Thanks very much 👍😁
top
Thanks very much 👍😎
1:18 ? Yes?
No, tenth scale TRX4. 👍
18th scale TRX4M probably wouldn't make it through the first gate. 🤣👍
How much does this car cost?
About $550 stock 👍
Berapa skala rc-nya?
1/10 scale 👍
Hello brother
