Upgrades and Hop-ups for the Traxxas TRX-4M
I'm always excited when a new R/C model hits the market, and from what I've been reading and watching, the TRX-4M from Traxxas looks to be an impressive machine. This 1/18-scale R/C crawler and trail rig wonderfully captures the stunning 1:1 details of the modern Ford Bronco and classic Land Rover Defender with ABS plastic bodies. Under the hood, these vehicles feature a time (and trail) tested ladder-frame chassis, four-link suspension setup, brushed motor, and oil-filled shocks.
Of course, the real fun of this hobby lies within the customizations and personalizations that you can perform. Although it's a new model, the TRX-4M is hitting the scene with various upgrade parts available. Whether from Traxxas or an aftermarket provider, there's a virtual sea of options available for this model right out of the gate.
If you want to give your Traxxas TRX-4M an appearance overhaul or transform it into a true trail terror, here is a list of upgrade and option parts that will work with this 1/18-scale machine.
