Traxxas TRX-4 Defender Trail Crawl | Penllergare Valley Woods RC Adventure (Part 1)

Part 1 of a full RC trail adventure filmed at Penllergare Valley Woods with the 1/10 Traxxas TRX-4 Defender.
This series documents an extended 4-hour real-world crawling session, broken into multiple parts to showcase realistic trail driving, scale routes, and natural terrain in detail.

In this first episode, we begin the trail day by introducing the rigs and setting off into the forest. Alongside the Traxxas TRX-4 Defender, I’m joined by a buddy running a fully custom-built RC crawler featuring a unique Batman body shell, adding a creative twist to the trail session.

Part 1 focuses on:

The start of the trail route

Forest terrain and scale paths

Realistic crawling pace and line choice

Early obstacle approaches

Side-by-side trail driving with different RC builds

This is not a short test — it’s a proper trail day captured as it happened, showing how RC crawlers perform during long outdoor sessions in real environments.

If you enjoy RC crawlers, scale realism, trail adventures, and custom RC builds, this series is for you. Later parts will push deeper into the woods with more technical sections and challenges.
