Traxxas UDR First Look 

can't wait till you get a body to paint mr hemistorm :)

Thanks for watching Chris, always appreciated. I've already got my tickets to TraxxasFest.

So much detail work! Can't wait!

Thanks Trent!

Thanks very much!

Thank you!

Thanks Brad!

Me too!

Thanks for watching Logan!

It's too big and too fast for me as well Matteo! I think it would suit your riverbed areas very well. Maybe you should still consider it, and only run it on 4S!

I think it's only a matter of time. Rumor has it there's a clear-windowed version of the D110 coming out.

Hah, totally!

Cool, I have a clear body waiting for mine as well!

Thanks!

It's going to be a pretty fun truck I think. Thanks for watching!

Cheers!

I'll see what I can do, Traxxas already did a bunch!

Thanks Robert, it'd be cool to see a bunch of these careening around a track. Cheers!

I will do that, thanks for the tip!

Cheers!

I've always been slow, but every once and awhile, I like to go fast. This is a ballistic weapon on 6S.

We are all a little slow from time to time 😃

Definitely true, but it's "Pro-Scale" not "True-Scale".

Scale Builder's Guild - I watched another comparison video. Showing the Rigid 1:1 To the UDR. I think there is more to the Pro-Scale. I think it is size yes. But the way the suspension works & even looks is scaled out too.. Visual & physical & how it all works together I think is the Pro -scale trademark.

You don't like Defenders?!

Yes I do traxxas defender seems out of size. It’s not bad. Just think the bronco turned out better have them both and enjoy them.

It wouldn't be a bad one to start with!

I'm very much a fan of this truck. Nothing to not like.

That's great, thanks for the feedback. Mine's still stock, I'm pretty gentle on my stuff.

@@scalebuildersguild Well. Even gentle I've seen trailing arms break and the steering servos go out. Other than those two issues, I don't think you'll have any other issues. A pretty big wreck might also bend the upper rear links but can be easily straightened. Ohh. I also forgot to mention. After about 20 runs or so, pull the hexs off the hubs and make sure the axle pin isn't working it's way to spinning inside. Not sure why they used plastic there but when they strip, they often tear up the wheel as well. Replace then with the 12$ steel ones at the very least. Will save you $62 for a set of tire/wheel combo and or whatever the wheels by themselves cost.

I've still got the stock ones and had a good bash with an XMAXX. Nothing broken, only bruised! ;)

Deans on a single 6S battery yes, but 3S, nah, they'll be fine.

I have to do that, but only once it's finished!

I can't help it. Sometimes I don't get enough B-roll and you're left with my ugly face.

Cheers! Thanks for watching!

There will be more Guy!

Hey Tim, I'll post a comparison between the two on the forum. The UDR dwarfs the TT. It's huge.

Agreed!

Thanks for the input!

Sold it long ago, but at the time it was because I didn’t have the space for it. I’d like to own one again.

I have my moments. ;) Thanks for watching!

Don't have an XMAXX, so can't help you there, sorry!

Hopefully, this truck will never see asphalt! Thanks for the info Nick!

Nice! We got to drive it on dirt, grass, and asphalt behind the shop. I felt bad when I traction rolled it and it got scratched, but it was kind of cool to put the first scratches on it at the same time. :D lmao

Good call, thanks for the tips!

Thanks very much! Comedy is life!

I got it on a vacation a whole bunch of years ago. They have since changed up their look: halloffameltd.com/collections/headwear

You'll always be at the mercy of the aftermarket and manufacturers for option parts. How is this different because it's bigger? If it was the same size as a Yeti, it's not like you could interchange parts anyway. You're looking at scale the wrong way. Everything is scale, just not necessarily at the same scale. This truck is 1/6th others are 1/9th, and so on. As for bodies, they already offer a clear one, and I guarantee we'll see new options down the road, not just from Traxxas, but likely also from Pro-Line.

Scale Builder's Guild I’m talking about scale as in size and overall look. For example; When it comes to model trains, there’s a few standard scale sizes which will insure that your display looks realistic. All “N” scale trains (no matter the manufacturer) will look pretty much the same size. Sometimes I watch RC crawler competitions. Most of the 1/10 trucks look roughly the same size and scale until someone comes by with their Traxxas Summit and ruins the look of the entire event. It’s not like the Summit is a bad vehicle. It just looks out of place compared to everything else. I recently built a MST CFX crawler using a Tamiya Jeep YJ hard shell body and it looks amazing because it fits perfectly! There’s a plenty of cool bodies available on the market. I would love to build something on the TRX4 chassis but it’s not a standard size. Traxxas is like the Apple of RC. They don’t play nice with anyone else. With regards to interchangeable parts. I’m using their waterproof receiver boxes a lot in my builds, their wheel nuts are better than most, their servos are rebuildable. Lots to appreciate already.

I'll look into this.

Scale Builder's Guild my friend has one and has warrantied two in three weeks. He has now upgraded. I think the servo is trying to return to center and cannot with the weight. Not sure if that’s the root cause or not. Just seems odd even tho there stock.

Oh absolutely! There's a lot of other things to be done too. Hope to get most of that done in the coming weeks.

I have two Yeti's. Go back and watch some of those videos!

Oh totally, it makes it easy to have a truck that looks great out of the box, but there's still a ton of room for customizing. Nothing will ever compete with a fully scratch built beauty.

There's an adapter for a ID connector for balancing?

Scale Builder's Guild yup, here's a link to a 3s version. They make them for 2s and 4s as well. Just google traxxas Id charger adapter. m.ebay.com/itm/Traxxas-ID-Male-Charging-Adapter-3S-11-1v-LiPo-Pack-Lipo-Charger-TRA2938-7-98/253597623171?hash=item3b0b98a383:g:JngAAOSwKnVZrJXQ

Very cool, thanks for posting that!

Not a bad idea.

I should probably switch to something newer myself, but I'm so deeply entrenched in Deans, it's hard to change!

@@scalebuildersguild It really is. Especially when you have so many trucks and batteries. It's a whole day event of soldering.

Indeed they do, and function similarly to the adapters I showed!

My bad. I might have skipped that part trying to see if you tested it out.

It's expensive, but I saved a long time in anticipation. Made it easier to swallow. I'm very excited to take it off some sweet jumps. ;)

Scale speed math doesn't work that way. It's actually about 120-125mph in full-size speed. ;)

oh ok show me the math

cs.trains.com/mrr/f/88/t/134482.aspx This shows the formula and explains how it works. The easy way to do it is to use this or one of the other known accurate scale speed calculators. www.scriptasylum.com/rc_speed/scalespeed.html

When they put 50mph on the box, it's 50mph on a human sized radar gun.

Sure is!

Scale Builder's Guild Can’t wait for you to take it out

Me neither!

Hahahaha

RTR Servos are rarely good. Consider it a necessary replacement.

It's not that I'm not a fan, it's that the TRX was overly complicated in my opinion. I'll check out those trailing arm pieces, thanks for the link!

Exactly!

What makes you think that? Because I didn't love all the add-ons of the TRX4? I'm no basher, but I definitely see this truck as a combination of the two, and I can get behind that!

Yep, and if it's in regards to the quality of this truck, I'll say it again!

I just looked it up. Can't unthink that now.

Hahah, yep!

UDR ALL DAY EVERYDAY!

Scale Builder's Guild thanks for the response. Always like your videos when I’m watching them. More 1440p content will s nice also when I’m on my pc.

Everyone's out there to make a dollar, can't fault them for that.

They've also contributed more to the rc hobby than any other company...

mike s with all the money they get from us, they better be putting out the best of the best. Didn't say their products sucks, just sick of them be so money hungry and trying to come up with different ways to take more and more of our money.

That's how all corporations are, they all want your money and will do whatever they can to get it. Look at all the new vehicles traxxas has released in the last few years; m41 boat, xmaxx, trx-4, erevo 2.0, 4tec 2.0, the udr, and the Aton. What other company has released that many vehicles that are so different? On top of that they've also released a bunch of bodies for many of those and other vehicles they already make, especially since many are Ford bodies and there are lots of different brands of sponsors on them, that kind of branding is expensive. I think it's great, yea sometimes stuff costs a lot, but I'd rather spend more on a quality product. If you want something cheap go grab a redcat and let me know how that works out! 😉 lol

It really helps the hobbies to have the big company's put in the R&D it takes for a truck like this. I hope in the next few years we see a club level class with 1/10 scale solid axle trucks. Something about the realism is just more fun. It has to start someplace and the Losi baja rey was a great start, sorry axial but the yeti just wasn't meant to go fast. I am just happy traxxas is in the game. Now for a more affordable 1/10 scale.

Haha, glad you caught that!
