I live in Asia, all the items come from more or less the same manufacturer and resold. There are sites here where the same quality items are very much cheaper. I won't mention any names as all the items are lovely and the fit and finish is spectacular, however in Asia there are cheaper "alternatives" that are exactly the same as the USD prices albeit with no names. Again they are exactly the same items and are not knock-offs. Just the reseller's name is etched on. If not for Cape Crawlers I would not have such an awesome build and am thankful of this. Just interesting to see the same things sold under different names. Where it is really different on quality and price is the real Traxxas stuff. The drivetrain for example is awesome. All in all does not matter, because we all having fun and have access to various product. Win for the customer, I thought I would share this with what I think is the best TRXM4 content here on TH-cam; Cape Crawlers.
thank you for these videos again. im not buying these nor specifically into this hobby but your content creation makes it look so interesting to watch because you dont skip the work needed to identify every aspect of the build (which is different from other channels that do superficial product introduction and maybe a mediocre test) and actually you inspired me to get the traxxas 1:10 Defender and im looking to upgrade that. and maybe in the future buy those in this video too but with a wrangler jeep body. hope to see wrangler builds upgrades and accessories here.
I learned at this scale not to mix the brands, for some reason they don't mix to well. And so far everyone makes almost everything, so pick your favorite brand and stay the course.
really cool parts! those are some beefy shocks! those decals really bring it all together. I just uploaded my ultimate trx4m build finally, really happy with the results
Nexx Racing makes great products for Mini Z. Your channel helped me a lot to try RC crawlers, I just bought a Scx24. Much respect from France and sorry for my poor English.
nice one again! did you paint thea body like that by the way? oeps.. edit: I now see the seperate White body comes with a white roof :) what about the decals?
Thanks! I painted the roof but the orange body is an optional body from traxxas. The decals I got on eBay. www.ebay.com/itm/285116269774?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Uy8X4D1DSoK&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=mI7B2whgQjO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
how am i supposed to eliminate torque flex when im driving forward. with no body on i go forward and its full lock to the right. i cant even drive with my defender body on anymore. all it has is injora shocks, flex blades, and low speed gearing in the transmission.
Adam, I know you like your upgrades. Check out the Injora overdrive/underdrive alloy steel helical gears for 1/18 TRX4M. The upgrades are 1/10 scale quality in performance. Nice Bronco!
I need someone to come out with portals for this thing. I keep getting hung up on the diff cover as well but don’t want to go too big with the tires and look ridiculous
Looking at mine...after putting the injora flex blades on, I kinda want to put a light bar on top of it. 🤔 I know I should be getting my KYX TRX4M Bronco bumpers, soon-ish. Lol Then I might call it done. 😅

Thanks for watching! Have fun!
I bought my first crawler (also a TRX-4M Bronco) back around Christmas. Now I have 6! (2 minis and 4 1/10th scales) Enjoy the journey, it's a blast!

Huge thanks for the shout out! We hope to see some more size options of these in the future. We already have new colors!!!
Anytime! Love what you do!

You are right about that!
Truly appreciate your knowledge in this , as I am new to the hobby

Your M build is epic. I watched the video yesterday!
Nexx Racing makes great products for Mini Z.
Your channel helped me a lot to try RC crawlers, I just bought a Scx24.
Much respect from France and sorry for my poor English.
The Nexx Racing Specter is amazing.
Looks like more fun upgrades. Any reason you selected Traxxas metal differential gears versus aftermarket (Injora mainly)?
Price primarily. The Traxxas gears are about half the cost of aftermarket gears.
@@CapeCrawlers WOW, you’re right, $10 for Traxxas dif gears. I didn’t even think to look because I assumed they would be higher than aftermarket!
I haven't upgraded shocks on my Bronco yet, so I think that I'd maybe try those. Your Bronco looks great by the way.
Thanks! These are very nice shocks. They get better and better the more I dial them in.
Great video they do some really nice parts ive just installed mues alluminium axles my injora brass diff covers wont fit on them either
It seems more and more with these parts that they dont work with other brands
is there any chance you could make a short video on how the shock setup is when you get it dialed down
Yes, absolutely
Super cool just ordered some RCAWD brass parts for when I get my K5 inner and outer front and back black brass Portal boxes and the front brass C hub
I love the brake lights that’s awesome
Been watching your videos for long time, how do you install injora shackle on the axles connect to shock flex extenison
Hey Adam, could you do a video about how to do decals and paint that you put on your budget build TRX4M?
Sure!
@@CapeCrawlers thank you SO much
Hello, I have a Ford Bronco and I want to lift it up more, how much money would it cost, thanks.
nice one again!
did you paint thea body like that by the way?
oeps.. edit: I now see the seperate White body comes with a white roof :)
what about the decals?
Thanks! I painted the roof but the orange body is an optional body from traxxas. The decals I got on eBay. www.ebay.com/itm/285116269774?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Uy8X4D1DSoK&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=mI7B2whgQjO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
@@CapeCrawlers perfect! :)
sidenote: if you want a white roof that doesn't scratch: the white spare body somehow comes with a White roof :)
Yeah but I heard there's a couple different things that will not fit those axles such as the 3 flow 9
I believe it
Injora just came out with longer shocks for the Trx4m
Got them on order. Can’t wait!
You said it was a different tires it would do better on hells gate. What tires do you recommend?❤
I put the Injora 58mm tires on it and it did great
I have a question have you ever done a crawler from ground up with all the parts from one company?
I did one with purely Mofo RC and LGRP parts: th-cam.com/video/UC8M2AjdfU8/w-d-xo.html
how am i supposed to eliminate torque flex when im driving forward. with no body on i go forward and its full lock to the right. i cant even drive with my defender body on anymore. all it has is injora shocks, flex blades, and low speed gearing in the transmission.
You can try using the preload adjustment to tighten the springs on that particular side
What is the biggest size wheels you can put on this without having to trim or have it rubbing?
~60mm tall I think.
Looks like it’s performing pretty good I like it
Great job buddy
Adam, I know you like your upgrades. Check out the Injora overdrive/underdrive alloy steel helical gears for 1/18 TRX4M. The upgrades are 1/10 scale quality in performance. Nice Bronco!
Thank you! It's funny you mention the gears, I am looking at the as I type this. Definitely going to order some!
Adam, im getting ready to make a swap but wanted your opinion...did you prefer the traxxas crawl trans or the brushless....please let me know thank u
Both! I run the crawler gears with the brushless setup. But honestly the crawler gears and the upgraded brushed motors are plenty fun and capable.
@@CapeCrawlers thanks Adam!....hey man, u got me back into the hobby ....just wanna say thanks and keep pumpin' out the vids! Great content!
I need someone to come out with portals for this thing. I keep getting hung up on the diff cover as well but don’t want to go too big with the tires and look ridiculous
I am so close to trying FCX24 portals on it. It desperately needs them!
@@CapeCrawlers Now that’s something I’d like to see. Fingers crossed Treal has something in the works too
Amazon 80$ bucks for the set
Will these shocks fit on the defender trx4m or just the bronco?
The shocks will fit either of them
@@CapeCrawlers thank you much appreciated
I just got a Scx10 24 not my area of knowledge what would you do to start the build like shocks and links
Check out this video for my initial mod suggestions: th-cam.com/video/nOOvKnG--JE/w-d-xo.html
@@CapeCrawlers okay thanks
This is the #1 reason to buy traxxas. After market support. Dont waste your effort on redcat. No parts at lhs and hobby town.
Looking at mine...after putting the injora flex blades on, I kinda want to put a light bar on top of it. 🤔 I know I should be getting my KYX TRX4M Bronco bumpers, soon-ish. Lol Then I might call it done. 😅
What is this"done" you speak of?
@@CapeCrawlers Like, when I'm finished with my rig. Lol
What did you use to paint the roof?
I used Tamiya primer and gloss white paint
I wonder how those shocks would work on the K5 just curious
Good question!! I may have to try them on that truck
Do the grippers rub with the stock shocks and what did you use to extend it?
They barely rub. I like the Adaptive Designs flex extensions. They work great, even with stock shocks.
love the bumpers
I dig them, especially the front!
I might have to buy another bronco but the TRX4M version instead of the Axial SCX24 Bronco
I really like the TRX4M bronco. Very fun rig
Injora just made the 59mm shock :)
Yes! I have some on order
Dampening means to make something wet, damping is what shocks do.
Love the shocks love the looks be nice if there were some color options
I agree. Hopefully in the future there will be
There are now red, purple and gray also available.
