The compact Traxxas TRX-4M Bronco, that is coming from a RC crawler market is somewhat saturated, and in terms of its features, the TRX-4M has a quite affordable price. The licensed Ford Bronco body is made of ABS plastic including mirror, door handles, wipers, roof rails, bumpers, and even fog light. The tires of the model are called BF-Goodrich Mud Terrain T/As to increase the realism of the model that Traxxas produces.
However, it is not as high end as other Traxxas models: it employs bushings instead of bearings, most of the parts of the driving and suspension systems are made of plastic and the motor is brushed.
Excellent Features Presented in Traxxas TRX-4M RC
Using the same 2-channel TQ 2.4 GHz radio as other Traxxas kits, the TRX-4M is a step up higher from entry-level models. Inside, the ECM integrates the receiver, the speed control and LED controller all into a single box. It is noteworthy while using this integrated approach that all is well and protection is without high voltage and yet any failure of the component demands total replacement of the whole unit. Converting either the speed controller or the receiver also means changing both of them.
The TRX-4M is a fun crawler that is suitable for use inside the house, and also when one wants to go outside. I have found it useful for the beginner as it goes well at my crawling park and Friendly Hobbies indoor track. Currently it is available at $160 retail price and goes on cheaper; it comes with all the components you see here. There is an integrated 750mAh Lithium ion battery that offers approximately 50 minutes of usage on one full charge while the replacement of the battery costs less than $20. It is often the aboriginal adornment you buy, but it may not be the aftermost.
Exclusive Design Of Traxxas TRX-4M RC
The TRX-4M is a 1:18 scale crawler, 10.3 inches in length with 6.1 inches of wheelbase, it is especially designed for indoors use, in fact, it can be used on a coffee table! This is because it is has 45° of steering which makes it easy to maneuver through one and twos. However other small RC cars may be suitable for indoors; they cannot take the outside terrain like this one.
TRX-4M is equipped with full-time 4-wheel drive with solid front and rear axles, 4-link solid axle with oil filled shock absorbers. That said, the damping remains a little unnatural, while some have complained of inspectors fitting empty shocks on new trucks and it’s very noticeable when cruising over bumpy ground at high-speed.
The most important feature distinguishing the TRX-4M from DTC brands is their transmitter. In comparison to most beginner class RC cars, most of which have poor radios, the Traxxas TQ 2-channel radio is a leap forward. Furthermore, while DTC brands are struggling for hop-up options, the TRX-4M presents multiple performance parts to tune each part.
