I wasn't into crawling at all, didn't think I'd like them. Then one day I decided to pick up a TRX4M Defender to see what the hype was all about. It's definitely a different experience. It's a lot more calm and slower than what you get with the larger Arrma rigs we're used to. I also like all the scale accessories, and the price point for upgrades are pretty cheap compared to the larger rigs. You can also drive them around the house or office if you don't wanna go outside. 2 weeks later I picked a TRX4M Bronco to go with the Defender. I also bought the Traxxas utility trailer. I'm still not a die-hard crawler by any means, but they are a nice change of pace. I'm happy with both of my purchases.
My co-workers have both of those, and they've already doubled the purchase price with upgrades. I didn't want to get that crazy with it. I've got two 10th scale crawlers that need upgrades already.
Just think of the course you could make with all of those shoes!!
I've had an SCX24 for a while, they can be fun but of course you have to respect the limits of this smaller vehicle, larger rocks are pretty much boulders for these. I have fun just farting around with it occasionally, it's rather relaxing to watch it climb up and summit obstacles. I think crawling in general requires more skill/finesse than I possess, so the smaller ones seemed like a good way to get used to a completely different driving style while having some fun. And I have also heard the siren song of upgrades; tons of aftermarket goodies are out there and you can indeed go bananas, but I kept mine mostly stock save for some eBay shocks and HR +4 axle shafts. Obligatory flex shot:

Nice rigs sir. I have the TRX4M Bronco & Defender, but after I installed hub extensions on the Bronco the wheels rub when fully turning to the right. Any suggestions on fixing that? I was thinking of either going with the Injora 59mm shocks to raise it a bit, or using shock spacers to counteract the body lean on that side from the torque.
Thanks for the info. I'm still on stock tires. I'm gonna order the 59mm injora shocks and see what effect that has, then go from there. Those larger Injora tires do look really good though.
That's the one I'm lookin at. Here's why I'm gettin pressure from my co-workers;And they now have a builders kit. 10.00 more but, you get the metal transmission gears and wheel weights.
