Of my 3, I would say the Defender is my best crawler, despite the heavy , tall body. The only thing I've done was add heavy brass porter axle covers to the front and rear. It performs so well, I have no plan to mod it any further.The TRX4 platform is just a proven successful platform, right out of the box.
The Traxxas stock esc did crap out, and I replaced it with a $40 crawling specific, programmable Hobbywing esc. This esc is awesome!

I'm highly confident you'll like it. It crawls as smooth as butter, gets up to about 12mph in 2nd gear, and those stock tires are excellent!
