I'd just thought you'd like to know how good and important these side by side comparisons are a few months ago I wanted to get back in the hobby after 20 yrs and was lost i researched for weeks i have a genius kid wasting his talent on a playstation your big rock vs granite helped me make a desicion to spend $1,400.00 Australian on one each now he's off the couch track building and doing his own repairs now we have 5 rc's in the collection our own channell now breaking into crawlers these vids help make informed decisions over precious dollars thank you thank you thank you for these big fan of the channel.
There are certain comments I get that make me think is it all worth it will anyone be interested. Yours is one of those, living under the times we are in this brought a tear to my eye today. With the vaccine news on the up maybe we can see some light at the end of the tunnel. Moved to bits by your post
👊 your are so welcome I'm not one of those dads that thinks he's smart cause he can count to 5 he's 15 and studying robotic engineering he wants to build prostetic limbs and was getting no practical experience at home now he's more than back on the path to help those less fortunate in the future ....you just never know how far and to what extent your vids can reach, help and what they may be doing for the future keep up the great work.
Really love this intro and the music 🎶 never change it!! Please 😆🤘

Great info. I've got both. The sport is also the shorter wheel base. The factory just switched the shock towers left to right and uses the extra part that also comes with the defender. That's the SWB body mount that I couldn't figure out what it was when I got the defender. I'm still relatively new to the hobby.
Fantastic vid mate just what I needed!
Thx for your review, I was looking videos of TRX4 and sports body first look seemed nice but after trying the Ford Bronco same as Defender the crawler kit base is definitely the one I am looking for it and didn’t know it have a difference between the sport model. Very helpful to set my choice of chassis base elements.
glad it was of help
I have the trx4, now I'm going to buy the sport for my little cousin.
Again something that’s helpful
Yea great video a huge thanks
Sorry getting here so late, just getting back into the hobby with my son
No worries
Amazing video very informative
Literally jus got the sport in the mail,bout to go rip it up
Well presented video! Have the Defender, added some samix for weight and added way too many details to list now weighing in at 21lbs! Already thought about picking up the sport body and having the best of both worlds. Subscribed.
man that's a huge weight! My losi SRR is only about 22-23lbs!
@@DriftomaniacsRC Fairly new to the RC hobby but been a modeler all my life. After adding the unsprung weight added every detail bumper to bumper I could find. Then came the proline interior with two occupants, three pets and a full array of camping gear. On the roof are two kayaks & two small containers of extra body clips and tow chains for the winch. Guess it's what they call a shelf queen, but no, enjoying the hell out of it!
Edward Selesky you gonna need to get a long to short wheel base kit because the sport body will be to short for the wheelbase of your defender.
Thank you very much! I had a lot of these questions because if you ask me even $360 is still a decently high price. Both my son's have stampedes, but I'm leaving towards the trx4. Now I know I need to save an extra hundred bucks. Thank you again.
Travis thanks for the comment. Reading ones like that make it all worth it.
I think you`re in a wrong area, my friend. this is not a toy
@@DimaGuitar
The large unstoppable smile on my face as I crawl and rip through rough terrain begs to differ! 😁 This is my toy for my inner child! 😎
I really appreciate this video! I’ve been trying to decide if I should add one of these trucks to my collection so this video is exactly what I’ve been looking for! I am still having trouble deciding though! I’m not a competitive driver or anything like that so I am leaning towards the TRX-4 because it just seems more “fun” especially with the 2-speed transmission. Though at the same time I don’t like that it may need more maintenance- especially with 3 more servos
I think I may end up with a Bronco ... I’ve always loved the look of Broncos anyway, heh
I knew about Sport. I never wanted to get it. I am glad with my non Sport TRX4s.
Yeah I agree I got the sport as my first crawler and I ended up selling it after I got my scx10ii. I sold it because now I want a regular trx4 with the two speed and all the goodies lol.
I have no problem with non Sport TRX4s crawling up and down because of shifting gears. Very nice. That is same as 1/10 Summit.
The Traxxas Bronco and Defender are all you need. The Sport is just a gimmick in my opinion. Why spend $340 on a stripped down TRX-4 when for $100 more you get the whole pie?
Also, I've spent $500 plus on upgrades for my Defender. Brass, aluminum, you name it. My stock Bronco goes EVERYWHERE the Defender can. I now think most upgrades are crap and a waist of money! They just make you think the truck is better. Lights are the best upgrade I think...
thank you Sir
Excellent vid
Personally I love my original trx. I had an axial bomber before the trx4, and axial deadbolt before that. Those were both great AFTER quite a bit of modding. With both of them I felt the plastic links were the weakest part, followed by needing different tires (and wheels since they're glue on). Also the open electronics always bugged me so I spent quite a bit of time making inner fenders for the deadbolt. They're great for sure, but not out of the box great. My trx on the other hand was incredible right from the get go. Literally all mods I did for the first few months were purely cosmetic. I did get a faster servo eventually, and new metal beadlocks and some proline hyrax tires, and a set of skid plates, but that was just because I was loving the truck and wanted to buy stuff for it lol. If the locking diffs servo goes out I won't care to fix it, I'll just leave them locked full time. The two speed however I LOVE. It makes the truck a blast, and honestly it's pretty realistic. When actually trailing my full size Jeep's (I've had two Cherokees and a Wrangler), sometimes you just gotta give it a little wheel speed to get through stuff. With a single speed trail rig rc you never have that unless you wanna burn up motors and have short runs times. The trx let's ya have the best of both worlds right out of the box. And an axial scx10 can be made to have a two speed, but not for the same price as an rtr trx4. I think for $450 it's an excellent package!
Awesome share! Appreciate it!
I like the comparison nice video 👍
Thanks Kyle hope it came across okay
Great video, really helpful!
Are they the same wheelbase? I thought defender is 324mm and sport 312?
Get the kit, as Stevo D said. Give you the flexibility to choose what body you want. It also allows you to customize it from the start.
thing is the kit only gives you flexibility on the body, wheels and motor, it's essentially still identical to the TRX4. I thinking my TRX4 with a body change is going to rocking well. I've the castle crawler combo to go back in over winter and with that the level of control is just crazy, like mm by mm control.
Driftomaniacs I’m looking forward to you doing a video of the crawler combo. Trying to figure out what motor esc combo to put in my kit. Leaving my defender mostly stock. What steering servo are you running and do you have bec?
Bill I've done a review of the crawler combo - here it is th-cam.com/video/6MqCHoST3Qw/w-d-xo.html I also did a video of it in the TRX4 crawling up a frozen riverbed which is here - th-cam.com/video/bkdF7lS88T8/w-d-xo.html
@@DriftomaniacsRC are you running brushless? if so what about water & mud? Thnx
Nice and to the point.
So ideally you want a trx sport but with a 2 speed box
& locking diffs
Or buy the chassis kit! 😎👍
THX bro!
I think i don't need the diffs, but the 2 speed is kind of cool
🇮🇹 bellissimo video 😃 amico complimenti 👍🏼 continua cosi 🦈
🇮🇹🦈🇮🇹
Thanks
I learned to crawl with the trx4 sport and then I got a scx10ii and I sold my trx4 sport to buy my ruslter 4x4, I do plan on getting a trx4 again but I want the bronco or defender. The sport is an amazing RC and I recommend it to anyone getting into the crawler scene it's very capable out of the box, once I had the sport and drove it I knew I wanted the trx4 with all the bells and whistles, I would just replace all the servos in it since that's just something I do anyways with all my traxxas RCs. Does the bronco body do better than the defender body with the high weight thing? I like the defender body looks but if the bronco performs better then maybe I'll get that one.
100% weight distribution wise go for the bronco body, Chris from hwy 1 RC has that one and as stock it can go up far steeper stuff than the one with the defender body.
I have both get a TRX4. You can always change the body
I have a trx4 sport, for 6 years. I added brass parts, and i also put in the 2 speed , wheels, shocks, body. Its a very capable rig and it competes with the og trx4. I like it because it has less servos to fail , and i dont mind my diffs being locked all the time. I havent run into any issues with the shorter wheel base and no diff lock feature. I also pull my kid in a wagon around the yard through grass, you cant beat it!!
Have you ever had any thing brake on it im going to purchase but only if it won’t brake all the time?
@@SethSeth-ci5ky in my opinion the weak points on the trx4 is the input gear , it seems to be the only part ive broken/ stripped since i have added more power with a brushless, only because the stock brushed motor kept burning up so i decided to just upgrade my system. All in all the trx4 line up are all built like tanks, get the sport if you want it simple or trx4 if you want more features, but with that can come with more problems like failing servos and etc
Did you find any difference in turning radius between the two? I would imagine having the ability to unlock the diffs would be of great advantage to make for more steep turns when crawling? What are your impressions ?
Unlocked diff gives increased steering radius but you lose traction it’s your choice
Those diff lock servos suck. Both of mine are blown. Do they make any better ones?
both are great rig but in my opinion i pref to get the sport then use the other 100 to get a castle eecs and sensored motor like the copperhead 10 and a sensord mototr combo make it fast eficiant and stil crawl very well making it more versitile
Hey Richie Random question for ya would you recommend any good places in New Jersey for crawling. Also what part of England are you from?
Sean let me come back to you in the morning as just calling it a night as it's nearly morning! North of England originally, South Coast most of my adult life.
Wanted a Bronco, out of stock. Got sport instead. Sport is pretty good though, I'd like the 2 speed transmission. Bit pricey to upgrade for $100 differences. Need to get a new radio system plus the 2 speed conversion kit. This easily goes to $200...
The two speed is okay but not worth you shelling out $200 more to upgrade. My friends at Hwy 1 RC (Check out their YT Channel) run a sport and it's devastingly good in their hands.
Trx4 Kit, I got the kit cus I wanted my choice of body but wanted the lock n unlock diffs
Good point steve one also to consider is the SCx10 builders kit. Good to see someone do a side by side build. I'm going to change the body on mine and shift the battery to being front mounted.
I went with the sport because I’m new to crawling and it’s simple and easy to customize
the sport also has a new bumper angle allowing you to approach a steeper angle whereas the original trx4 bumper would hit
all real world feedback MUCH appreciated!
Can't you use a metal geared micro servo instead of traxxas proprietary servo..?? 😊
For me , I got the defender .. it’s a damn good trail truck but very poor crawling truck . I’m back on the market looking for a true crawler .. thinking redcat gen 8 v2
Can I put any trx4 body on the trx4 sport? I want the k5 blazer body in a trx4 sport
You can upgrade the trx sport with a traxxas two speed gearbox . I believe it says so on the box . As optional parts you can get . But if you run a three cell lipo in it it give lots of power to spin your wheels to get over stuff .
Joe I would think so almost certainly, however if you're going to start adding stuff like the two speed box then you'd be better off buying the stock TRX4 in the first place, what do you think?
@@DriftomaniacsRC I personally would might buy the sport. Over the original trx 4. Just because I dont really need all the other stuff. I like it simple . The original is a bit More to maintain. All I was saying for people that want a two speed gearbox. And dont have the money to start out with . They can always upgrade later. I think I heard that gearbox is only $45. But dont quote me on that. But dont get me wrong I am struggling with what one I want to buy still. Lol . Been watching alot of videos on all the trx 4 's
Can you get a Toyota body for the Sport?
good vid.
TRX4 Sport wheelbase 12,3TRX4 Defender Wheelbase 12,8 I think it is important to mention because you cant place the Sport body on the TRX4 Defender chassisWheelbase 21,3 have more choices of bodies
I agree the defender body looks absolutely fantastic but sucks for performance. Can't you just take the defender truck which has in my opinion more features being that it has the high and low gear option and when you want more performance let's say you're in a competition can't you just put a sport body on it?
I'm not sure if I really understood that... So the only two things that are better about the sport(if you want to have the diff locks(manually lockable)and two speed transmission) are the price for the body...?
Sorry for my bad English I am from Germany...
No worries on the English. Your English is much better than my German.
On the sport the diffs are always locked. On the TRX4 they can be switched on the transmitter. The sport only has one speed, the TRX4 has two gears and they can be switched from the transmitter. And the Detailed Defender body accounts for a lot of the price as well
@@DriftomaniacsRC Okay thanks a lot.
I like both. Can't choose what one I like more...
Buy both!
@@DriftomaniacsRC good point 😂
Something you didn´t know... The SPORT is geared differently in the transmission, It has a middle of the way ratio than that of the OG TRX4, This means the SPORT has a higher low gear which is really important for Crawling, You want the lowest gear ratio possible.. In this regard it makes the OG TRX4 superior for crawling! It even has a higher high gear so it crushes the SPORT in Low/High Ratios.....
I know that as if you look at my videos you'll see I had one of the first Original TRX4's in the USA........ I prefer it to the sport because of that super low ratio you mention
I would get both lol! 👍👍👍👍
hi man😉✌,I could try both, I have a sport and my brother the trx4 defender. I think the price difference is in favor of the defender with all this equipment. the sport is lighter and less well balanced I think🤔. but I do not regret my choice😁, because for a hundred euro🤑 upgrade the sport has become better to climb👍👍. What I like about the sport is its simplicity, diff blocked,for crawling no need diff😲😂😂, a pure franchiser😎. this is just my novice opinion.😅✌✌
the sport is a great choice, I've seen Chris take his up places you'd think it had no right to be. Simple is sometimes better
Will the defender body fit into the trx4 sport if you get the body mount posts?
They both have the same dimensions right?
Thanks.
I would think so HOWEVER I would give traxxas a call to be sure or ask in one of the TRX4 facebook pages
@@DriftomaniacsRC thanks! Ye I found out that the sport wheel base is slightly shorter than the normal trx4 so I would also require the short to long wheelbase chassis conversion kit (TRX8057)
wanting to do a brushless TRX4. think i'd need a servo saver?
It wouldn't be a bad idea I'm looking to get one as when mine was out crawling bounced down about 20ft and took the stock servo out. Let me know what one you get. I'd also say get a sensored brushless setup, I've the castle one fitted and it's like mm by mm control
Very nice comparison mate, think am liking the sport , thanks for sharing and thanks for the Sub my friend 👍 great video 👍
Liking your how to videos Tony, the flow of them works well for me. Having done a few I can appreciate the effort they take to do.
Well you are doing a fantastic Job my friend, I'll be checking your other videos out, 👍😁👍
Very informative I thought they had a different width in the axles but turns out I'm misinformed
joel lofquist the bronco hs a shorter wheelbase than the defender/tactical rtr. Also I hear in the kit you build you have 4 different lengths of suspension links to make the wheelbase longer or shorter
I have all 3 side by side. The bronco is just shorter in wheelbase. Maybe 1/16”
Oh the bronco frame is made different in the front. More flat frame rails than at angle. Easier to put a small battery on
ztwntyn8 hmmm I’m not very familiar with crawlers as I’m just trying to get into them I’ve got a slash 4x4 rustler 2wd 4tec and xo-1 and I’m trying to diversify my collection a little more looking at a China clone of the scx10 to tow my 4tec around and do a little crawling with but like I said I’m not sure where to start
Could we put the difs and the hi and lo gears in the trx 4 sport ?
Yes but it is hella expensive
I want the trx4 but I want it with the sport body😕
NC MOUNTAINS ❤. 👌!!! 👍👍....
Hey bud are the chassis the same size on the defender and sport 👍
Yes 99% sure!
does the Trx sport has a "training mode" where its speed is just 50% ? (->means one could crawl better with)
all the traxxas cars can be put in 'training' mode, that said I think it limits the power by 50%, as opposed to the actual speed.
@@DriftomaniacsRC All right - Thanks !
@@p4ul.f708 It's a good idea and not a bad suggestion at all, and I learn as much from you guys & girls as you (hopefully) do through me each day. My thought is though that you might want the full torque when crawling, I think the training mode limits the power in order to limit the speed. I do appreciate such comments as they're thought provoking!
I would like one of those stickers if it's okay
james contact via PM on the Driftomaniacs facebook page. e.g. don't post email up here.
Trx4 sport because that what i have
what do you prefer trx4 or trx4 sport?
Trx4
Do like me. Buy the Defender and the Bronco. Then buy a Sport body!
Love it!
Brian of Texas! I have bronco it’s a blast
Want a trx4 sport but only have a trx4, get new body mounts, buy new body, put in high gear, and lock difs. Bam trx4 sport
All the comments here tell me I should consider getting the two speed since I have the sport 😂
Upgrade your audio quality
just too funny! I've spent over $500 on new mics in past 12 months. I said I wouldn't spend a penny more at $300. THE BUCK STOPS HERE! just given up caring, I could spend $500 on a single mic and it wouldn't alter the fact that people don't think about their internet/mobile connection. You do know that if you have a poor connection youtube downgrades your image/sound quality? But you knew that right? Google it when you get better reception
@@DriftomaniacsRC just ignore him bro..your video superbb, peace from malaysia😊✌️
Buy the trx4....when the locker servos fail, buy diff locker spools to lock it full time. TAA-DAA! 2 speed sport
Trx4 sport has less to break
Indeed that's one benefit I have to say, as my TRX4 gearbox has rusted in gear twice, although that's down to me...but I know what you mean
All I'll say, is the trx4 sport kit, is amazing. I'm not interested in operating a two speed, or diffs, or anything..I just want to crawl...and this thing is a billy goat, and tough as nails. Check out any of my TRXellence series, latest one volume 6 th-cam.com/video/SDJtIzW3rpo/w-d-xo.html

The defenders are ugly as hell and too long, used to be the ugliest crawler there was but traxxas one upped themselves with that ugly G wagon.
