My lockdown hobby of choice was finally to scratch the itch of a long time want – buying myself a remote control crawler. Naturally, being all about performance, I opted for one of the best crawlers currently on the market, the Traxxas TRX-4.

After deciding on the base model, I found out there were a rather annoying number of choices for the body but being the basic bitch outdoorsman that I am, I’ve always been into Defenders so that ultimately became an easy choice. I honestly didn’t do a huge amount of research and only knew that the TRX-4 was a highly regarded crawler, looked dope and had a ton of third party accessories. I was sold pretty quickly.

I should note that I started down this hobby road with very little knowledge and I still only have slightly more than very little amounts of knowledge. At the best of times it’s confusing, at the worst it’s downright frustrating but I’m learning so if anyone is reading this and knows what crawlers are all about, I apologise in advance.
