From the Parkflyers RC workbench

Marc's Take

Small enough for the house, with a proper little crawler feel.

The TRX-4M impressed me with its oil-filled shocks, scale detail and the way it put power down over small obstacles.

  • Damping makes a difference. The oil-filled suspension was one of the first things I noticed, especially compared with spring-only micro crawlers.
  • Easy to enjoy. The clipless body and compact size make it convenient to get out, drive and put away.
  • Build it your way. I liked the model-specific Pro Scale lighting and the useful upgrade choices, without feeling that every upgrade was needed immediately.

One scale upgrade I discuss: TRX-4M Defender Pro Scale light kit for working scale lighting.

My take: an appealing entry into small-scale crawling, with enough detail and room to grow to keep an enthusiast interested.
