That was fast!
It’s all good though, I’d have to find someone naive enough to buy my trx4m before I could justify another micro crawler.

Dang I can’t find one for any less than $143 now.
So I came across another interesting item:
Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! $122.97 | C8808 4WD RC Crawler 2.4G Remote Control Vehicle 1/18 Rock Car Off-road Electric Simulation Climbing Car Toys for Children

It looks like a trx4m tarantula.

Is it not a good truck?

That’s a good deal, what site did you order from? I was going off the link OP posted. The ones for $118 didn’t have 4 wheel steer and the 4 wheel steer ones were $155… unless I read it wrong.

Mine was $112.00 + tax for $121.00
On Aliexpress You have to check all of the different venders, but be careful you are comparing apples to apples.

Yep, I ordered one that says brushless but time will tell what it really is.
It’s a strange marketplace with so many vendors selling the same thing for weird price differences.

Is it not a good truck?

It was when it first came out, but all these other cars walk circles around it for a fraction of the cost. More upgrades, more accessories for them, etc. VERY durable, just not capable unless you spend a ton of money on it and then it kind of kills the fun.

I built a 4 foot by 8 foot crawler table in the garage when I first got it complete with mountains, real dirt, sand and mud pits. The SCX24's and similar sized rigs are way better IMHO. I just can't see why anyone would buy a TRX4m now unless they just really like traxxas products.

This plus beverage of choice will keep 5 grown men occupied for HOURS btw.

You best believe we had fun with that table though. At one point someone bought a RC excavator on amazon and it got way out of control. We were using it to pull cars out, make new obstacles, etc.

I agree the TRX4M is a good looking rig but you have to drop a lot of money to make it capable.

That's killer

I think we have that same excavator. Fun little guy, but the matching front end loader and dump truck are pretty lame, as they don't have front wheels that turn. Just tank steer, which really sucks with tires.

That's what I thought too. Snow Leopards in China must be yellow and running around with bad translations written on them

I did see that when I searched, the thing I bought just kinda popped up while I was scrolling. Then I found this TRX4m looking thing for about $60.
Now I need a snow leopard tank and an excavator for the collection! Plus the accent Scout II and the FMS Smasher!

We have the loader and dump truck too, but like you said, they suck and wasn’t worth mentioning lol. Excavator is definitely toy grade, but functions well enough for the price.

Yeah. I just bought a Yellow Leper CHEAP!!!

Turns out it was so cheap because half the parts are falling off.

Gotta have a lot of duct tape around if you want to keep you leper from falling apart.

My guys… it is here.

These are most definitely fms style axles, the pumpkin is nearly identical!
