TRX4M Build Part 1 - Injora Everywhere!
First attempt at a project video with some hiccups so go easy on me. I decided to use my TRX4M for this since I had some parts coming in and because it was the star of my very first video! Its only natural! The only downside to this project is that its already partially complete, but I try to go over what is already done so that we can all be caught up. This is a great little truck with some upgrades and I want to try and squeeze a little more performance out of it. I'm not sure how far this project will go, but eventually we will find out!
In this video we will go over all of the modifications already on the truck and install some brass parts up front to help stabilize the little Land Rover. I think I'll try to post something on this truck at LEAST every other week until we're done with it and ready to move on to the next truck.
At this point almost ALL of the upgrades are from Injora, but they make a lot of awesome stuff for the TRX4M so I'm not really mad about it.
As always thanks for watching.

High Mileage Traxxas TRX4 - Long Term Review
Hello and welcome back to the channel. I'm trying some new stuff in this video and am trying to change the space where I record. Still a lot of work to be done with the space but I wanted to try it out on this video just to see how it goes. The audio might have a little echo to it. I'm still working out the details on how to treat the room so that it sounds better, and the overall level of decor could certainly use a spruce! I'll have a mic stand set up soon and more work will be done, so hang in there and we will have some higher quality videos coming out!
Anyway Back to the video. I wanted to do a long term review on my TRX4 similar to how we did with the TRX4M. This was actually the first truck that I wanted to do a review like this with but I wanted to put a whole lot more miles and hours on it which obviously takes a lot of time! I love my TRX4 so most of this video is going to be pretty positive. Do you guys like these long term style reviews? I feel like I could definitely do more if you guys find them useful.
Want a TRX4 of your very own? You can snag one at your local hobby shop, but if you want to help the channel and prefer Amazon check out this link!

So after spending some time building the project TRX4M on this channel I found myself wondering what upgrades I could absolutely not live without. Which upgrades are the game changers that I would recommend to a friend? Well that's how this list, and video was born. Check out my top 5 and let me know in the comments if there are any upgrades that you would do differently!
This first TRX4M build is well on its way and I think we're starting to get closer to the end. It's been a really fun truck to build and if to be completely honest I think I may find myself building another one before too long! Maybe I'll start the next one off (if I do it) with these top 5 and see how accurate I was!

Rock Van Build Part 3 - Hobby Plus makes good stuff!
Hello and welcome back to the Big Block Rock Van build!
In this video we're getting back on the Rock Van project and installing 3 upgrades from Hobby Plus! We're doing the inner fender kit, the high clearance links, and the servo on axle conversion kit. I really love how this build is coming along. It's just such a great performer on the trail and these parts only make it better! This will probably be the last of the upgrades on this build and we will be painting up a themed body in the next one.
Thanks for watching, and I'll see you next time!

SCX24 Injora Rock Buggy Chassis, Shocks and Huge Tires!
I came across my old, dusty SCX24 when I was setting up a shelf in the garage and thought that it needed a little something to bring it back to life!
I took a look at all the stuff on offer and the Rock Buggy chassis from Injora really caught my eye! I went ahead and ordered that along with some shocks and new tires to get this refresh started. I'll install all of that stuff in this video and give it a little run on some nearby rocks to see how it is without any other mods.
I'm really excited to get my SCX24 back off the shelf and hope this stuff will inspire me to build it into a cool little rock crawler!

RC Icons | Kyosho Mini-Z
This is a different kind of series where we take a look at RC cars that stand the test of time. RC cars that have that certain something special about them that keep them relevant regardless of where the trends in the hobby go.
For the first episode I chose to go with the Kyosho Mini-Z. The Mini-Z is an exceptional example of an RC car that has achieved an iconic status. From its size, to the level of scale detail Kyosho includes in each model, to the dedicated fan base the Mini-Z easily stands out from the crowd.
We will take a look at a couple of Mini-Z's from my collection, run them, and talk about them a little bit with the goal of hopefully showing people who may not know, what makes them so cool!

Hexmods Reviewed and Compared to the Mini-Z
Hello and welcome back to the channel!
I saw this little Hexmods product at my local Target and thought it sounded strangely familiar. Almost like a certain Radio Shack product I owned years and years ago. Anyway I just had to check one of these things out since I was into X Mods when I was younger. Is it any good? Does it compare with the X Mods at all? How does it stack up against the Mini-Z? I'll let you know in this video!
If you liked the video give me a like and if you like this type of content, hit that subscribe button! I try to post at least one video a week and its always something RC related.
Have any of you tried out one of these Hexmods? What did you think? Let me know in the comments below! Also, kids shouldn't be allowed to have trombones outside. Just sayin!
Wanna buy this thing?

RC Icons | Tamiya Grasshopper - WHAT A BLAST!
Hey guys,
Today we're running the Grasshopper that I built for the Quarterly Classic test live video. These older Tamiya kits are so much fun to build and even more fun to run! I had a great time bashing this little Tamiya around a construction site that I found locally. I will be doing another Live build in January and its going to be whatever my wife decides to get me for Christmas. I gave her a good list though so I know whatever kit I wind up getting, its going to be awesome! Stay tuned for an update on the date for that because that'll be a much better experience!
Anyway I hope you enjoyed the running video and I'll see you in the next one!

Almost lost the Rock Van! #radiocontrol #rc #hobbyplus #rccrawler #rccar #tinytrucks
Fun (almost not fun) clip of my project Rock Van almost headed down the river! The current was pretty strong and unfortunately the Rock Van floats pretty well haha. Luckily I was able to grab it quickly and not fall in myself. The water resistant electronics did their job and kept me running for the rest of the day. If you're interested in this project I've got a whole build playlist on my channel!

FMS K5 Blazer Run and Review!
Today we're going to take a look at the FCX24 K5 Blazer from FMS. I'm excited about this one because I have always wanted an FCX24 but was never really into the Power Wagon. It was just a little too tractor looking for me. Anyway we're going to check this sucker out and take it for a little run. I'm going to be a little more careful with this one because the body looks so darn nice!

Axial SCX10III Review and Trail Run - How good is it? - My Best Running Video Yet!
First review for my channel!
Let's take a look at the Axial SCX10III Jeep JLU with Portals RTR Kit! I know the truck has been out for a while now but I got this one recently and thought it would be a really fun truck to do a practice review on.
I had a total blast running this truck and it has a LOT to offer, its very capable and does very well on the tighter and slightly more technical stuff. As far as performance goes it really does well despite being a little top heavy, and lacking a bit of traction in the tire department.
Enjoy the video, comment if I screwed up anywhere and like and subscribe if you want to see more content like this.
I plan to upload a running only video for this truck very soon so stay tuned for that!
Thanks for watching!!

TRX4 Bronco - A Blast on the Trail!
Just a fun compilation of a bunch of clips I got over the weekend. I had a good time taking the TRX4 out and wanted to share some of that fun with everyone! I also briefly share some of my thoughts about the TRX4 in this video but since the TRX4 has been out for a long time now and I didn't think a full review would be necessary, but a running video is always fun to watch. Spoiler: I really like the TRX4. Enjoy the video! If you want to see more like it give it a like, and subscribe for more RC content and thanks for watching!

How To: Oil Fill Your FMS Shocks!
Just a quick video today showing you how to fill your FMS shocks with oil using the O Rings and washers provided with the kit. At first I expected the oil filled setup on these shocks to feel more like an after thought but I have changed my mind after doing this. They work SUPER WELL and haven't leaked or given me any issues yet! I'll see you guys Thursday with another video and Sunday we head back to the Rock Van Project!
