Default New TRX4 version - Chevy Blazer

Spotted on FB, TRX-4 Blazer.





Between this and the TRX4 Sport kit, Traxxas wins the internet for the week.

That looks fantastic

(Are the mirrors teeny tiny or is it just me?)

Good eye. Definitely not proportionate to the body.

As an option for a Blazer? I remember them being on the Chevy cars of the 70's and 80's, but never on a truck.

Very interesting. I do remember those mirrors, but not sure I remember them on trucks.

They will be good for the trails - less to get caught.

LOL, I've got 2, and I haven't even used them yet! Now I'm getting at least 1 more potentially 2?!!! I'll probably just end up buying the Blazer body and putting it on the TRX4 Sport Kit.

OMG that's beautiful! Wow. I'm like, basically speechless. I like it so much.



I have no budget for a second crawler though, so I guess I'll just have to enjoy it through online media....

Are these new trucks actually "new" or are they just different bodies?

Most likely the Bronco chassis with new wheels and body.

Much less exciting news, but still awesome IMO, is the addition of the Inclination feature to the Traxxas Link app. This could really help you determine if mods help you climb steeper obstacles. Good tuning aid IMO.

I installed an Inclinometer app on my phone several about a year ago when I was tweaking my Ascender - all Traxxas needs to do now is add an odometer feature and I will be completely won over to adding the Link to my Defender.

As for the new Chevy, muy bueno!

LOVE them Rally wheels!

Of course, they are glue-ons, but oh-so-sweet lookin'...

Now people can run Ford vs Chevy out at their fave crawl spots.

Anyone else notice the slightly bobbed rear corners, just before the bumpers?

The fender cutouts are oversized, too - nicely done so they don't need to be hacked up by the purchaser.

Cool. My BIL sold Fawd-cahs for 14 years so I got them shoved down my throat - had several but always liked the Chevys better.

"On a quiet night you can HEAR a Chevy rust." LOL
Or, Fix Or Repair Daily = FORD
