Customer Reviews
Ro*****iza
As someone new to RC vehicles, this one was easy to get into. The instructions were clear, setup was fast, and it performs way beyond expectations. Climbs inclines like a pro and survives drops without issues. Traxxas nailed it with this 1/18 scale model. Already planning to upgrade the lights next.

Solid little crawler, great design and looks amazing. Had a minor issue with the servo overheating after long runs. Needed a cooldown. Otherwise performs well. Might need some tweaks for heavy-duty use.
Osv******ath
Fun little crawler, but had a minor issue with the antenna cover coming loose after a few runs. Otherwise drives well and looks great. Needed to tweak the alignment slightly out of the box.

Perfect weekend toy! Charges fast, drives smooth, and looks so clean on display. My kid loves watching it tackle backyard trails. Durable, stylish, and packed with personality. Highly recommend for RC newbies and vets alike.

I don’t even like cars, but this thing is art. My husband plays ‘Africa’ by Toto every time he drives it across the driveway. It’s become a family ritual. Also, crushes leaves with authority. Five stars for maximum dad energy.

Mine arrived with a cracked bumper and one wheel spinning sideways. Contacted support and they’re helping, but for this price? Should’ve been perfect out of the box. Hope the replacement fixes it.

As someone into scale trail rigs, this TRX4-M hits all the right notes—detailed body, functional lights, and amazing steering. It’s like driving a mini Land Rover Defender. Traxxas nailed it again with this one.

Looks like a toy, drives like a tank. I’ve sent it down stairs (don’t judge), over rocks, and once into a trash can—still going strong. The LED lights at night make my backyard look like a movie set.
Nas******ak
It’s awesome, no doubt. But the battery life is shorter than my attention span during meetings. Also, lost a wheel in the sandbox. Still fun though—just bring spare parts and low expectations for longevity.

I bought this as a gift for my husband and he can't stop talking about it. The scale model looks amazing, and he says the suspension works perfectly over bumps and rocks. Controls are responsive and charging is quick. Highly recommend!
