This is a head to head battle I've wanted to see from RC Review! Thanks Francis, have a great weekend 🤙
-
I have the High Trail Chevy and it's a blast. Not to mention it's a looker! Square body goodness!
-
Ready for some ascent 18 comparisons
-
That’s the only trx4m I don’t have……I have the f150, bronco and defender…..awesome little trucks
-
What a great video, it’s nice to hear and see all the comparisons in general. I own all of these now 😂. Thanks!
-
Now with as many excellent 1/18 scale crawlers available to purchase, there is really no longer any reason to purchase a TRX4M anymore in all honesty being there is extremely far better options for the money.
-
Love the F-150 HIgh Trail and the Bronco TRX4M, hate the proprietary Traxxas battery. Love the LC80 and FMS in general. Just ordered the FCX18 K10 from FMS.
-
Thank you for the comparison. What really surprised me is how much more silent the Traxxas is. Makes for a much more zen experience compared to that constant loud whine. Is the extra noise on the FMS 18's because of its gearbox and / or portals? The Traxxas would really benefit from a bit more torque and control at lower speeds though.

I have the brown f150 that has a bunch of mods! Among them are the injora mb 100 esc and the MEUS racing two speed. Using a flysky gt5 and traxxas 2065 servo for shifting duties. In low gear with the injora esc it has a great slow crawl.
-
The stock ESC seemed fine until I replaced it with a Hobbywing 1080 (just a quick test run using adhesive tape and temporary wiring) - it completely changed the control at crawling speeds on a stock motor, now it runs like a different model.
-
Ave you used the meus racing 2 speed transmission super low speed capaciti ? Are they any good or better than original trans … 😮
-
Totally agree. I have the brown ford trx4 and I love it. It looks so good. I did put the low gearing in it and added some brass bits.
-
I never leave a RC Stock , and just buy what I like and mod the crap out of it anyway , I've had lots of fun with my blue bronco and it is a very capable truck now with mostly free mods 😊
-
Remember, a simple moving of the screws from the fcx c-hubs from the front (where they get hit when turning) to the back side of the axle will help your fcx’s turn better for free.

I like to run my mini crawlers outdoor and i think the large size of the k10 is great for outdoors
-
Great comparison Francis , the Traxxas are awesome vehicles. The detail in the grill , back window and general proportions are better . The FMS is coming up in quality and ability for sure . I’m surprised how much the FMS truck struggled with portals and two speed. Very interesting. I have the fms 1/12 jimny and it’s VERY detailed but useless off road . Looking forward to what fms comes out with in the future , lots of great competition between brands right now 👍
-
I love the Ford version I’m definitely going to get one. I have the newest Land cruiser with metal beadlocks & new tires & it’s surprising how good it is.

Watched your videos before obtaining all my trucks. Outstanding .
