TRAXXAS UDR PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE! 

We made a drinking game. A shot every time he says “udder butter” we all blacked out before the half way point. Great video.

7:20 everyone has their own techniques. plz dont over fill your Rcs with grease, the little dirt that will get in their will turn into a grinding paste, by bye gears, best option is use black silicone on the joint cracks from the outside , as it is peelable/removable.

You are so carefull with your RC it's a great thing to see as a lot of yt guys just destroy them. Great job man!

I love the care you take on your equipment. Hats off, total respect. Man, it must be nice to have Max Amps sponsor. I am totally sold on their batteries, but I will never be able to justify the price.

Awesome video Chris! Good info for everyone who owns the truck! Thanks for getting it out there for everyone. Looks like you are really enjoying the truck so far! Wait till you drive it!

It’s just red and tacky that you paid too much for. You don’t need to grease anything like that. It all gets thrown off anyway. Plus over greasing causes drag.

Greasing the axle..."OH YEAH" 🤣 I really enjoy these vids! You share the same eye for foresight, detail and handling as myself. I'll be purchasing a UDR in the near future and have been doing quite the fair share of research to know what maintenance, mods and spare parts to prepare for and have on hand when I do. I really appreciate the work you do here! Keep it up!! 👍👍

Awesome reference video brother Chris, I 100% agree with you that traxxas nailed this one and I will be taking the same steps to protect my UDR.. The realism of that rear suspension is crazy.. Yeah bro traxxas nailed this one..

This is a long time ago, but I just got my first UDR and videoes like this is so great. So first thing I did was to go through the gears with traxxas green grease. Great stuff. Allso greasing up the rear axles to prevent sand coming in to the dif. Thank you👍

Awesome video very nice and useful information for the UDR.. great job thumbs up 👍👍

Yes, research!! I always do a heap of youtube research before i pull the trigger on any rc, we the rc community are very lucky we have guys like yourself and many others, keith, vasco, hemi, aaron, gio, rich and jang to name a few lol! 😊 Im getting a udr!! Super pumped!! 😁

After 18 months of running and bashing this UDR of mine, tough cookie no doubt! 💖

Good to know about dirt entering the rear axle 👍👍👍

Nice thorough preparations.

I love watch people taking care their RC's

Yeah bro, Keith sent me those pictures so i tore mine down. I found the same issues. So I dis the same. Great video. I love it as well.

Fantastic video!!! I can hardly wait it to get my own! Glad you figured out how all the dirt gets into the real axle and diff! Let us know how your grease works out and if it did indeed keep out the dirt and sand etc.

Gotta tear mine down,Did not know there was a problem with the axles good job Chris .. going to get some udder butter first.Wow glad I seen this video major issue traxxas needs to address. Thx addicted to RC.

i just added o rings to the out side and by the bearing no dirt or WATER gets in .goodLUCK BUDS

Out of the box my lower side body mount was cracked as well. The lexan in that area is surprisingly thin. Kudos for the idea of using gorilla tape.

Awesome! Just subscribed because of your attention to detail and the way you respect the engineering of the cars. I try to be the same way with mine. Please keep making vids.

Super awesome video ya Traxxas did a phenomenal job on this RC car which I don't own it but I'm going to wait till the price comes down on it and get it

good video, teaching techniques, easy and well explained, new follower

Awesome video my brother 👍👍👍👍

I really didn’t wanna tear mine down being brand new never ran yet,but after this video I think I will do it to fix it before it breaks instead of vise versa,bullet proof what I can now👍👍👊👊📹📹

So, how do you drain the water out once it gets in past all that grease...?

I'm hoping proline will make other trophy truck bodies for these udr's ..Great video..i'll save this video for future maintenance on my udr that I don't have yet but will be getting soon.👍👍

nice video. I received my UDR a four weeks ago and ran it straight into a curb...now the 4WD doesn't work. Good vieo. Time to take it apart.

Looks like a cool scale truck! Nice music choice by the way!

Wow, i AM going to do that with my UDR, thanks Man

16 years into the hobby, just going to leave this hear, lucas oil grease "super tacky" red, works well, the heavy duty green one... well its superb, not a lot os "sling".

Thanks a lot for making such a nice video. Its verry helpfull. 👍🤘👌

Great tips 👍👍

I’m going to get one soon but I don’t know how to work on a rc so idk if I should be worried about it

I pumped grease from one side till it came out the other then had to press the bearings/ axels back it Used my dewalt grease gun and grease i use on my equipment so far so good

Just medium usage in the backyard how long would the 6700 4S pack from traxxas last?

Keep up the good job...from RC Daily

Nice job please keep me and us all about all the PM and also upgrades Thanks Big time for the info .BILL

I just had n idea,,drill n tap to install a small grease fitting ,then u can pump the grease in better if done after upgrading to metal axle housing....

Great vid

Where did you get the decals for your traxxas udr, they look great ? much nicer then the stock stuff

9:28 Mom I need an adult :)

Nice video chris, qick question, im thinking of getting, admittedly the price is a bit steep here in aus ($1270) but is there a option to remove the two men inside the truck? I like realism, but just not my thing. :) cheers for all your great work very thorough.

Just wondering why did you get the 2282sg and not the 1283sg servo ? Thank you when you reply!:)

If You Really want to beef up the body, Use hex sticky drywall tape and shoe goo I've used it on all my rc trucks works great and will stop hard impact cracking and breakage . Tha RC Addict here.✌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

As to why there back wheels spin a bit slower ( planitery complex):) lol u think like me mine comes to morrow !! Did the same with MY yeti xl:)

This udr is other level alot people think is a rc and not is a scale truck front the real one is other level

Hey what motor comes with the udr? Is it a hobbywing?

hey EVERYDAY RC were can i get thos shock covers u use could so use them on my udr

Hey Man! Been a long long time. How are you? This is RC Antics, I changed my username because i dont do RC that much anymore, but this truck made me rear my head again. I might be picking one up this week. Really sad to see Associated killed the Rival while I was on Hyades. I also bought an MGT 8.0 before i left, basically its a nitro rival, so with parts support being an issue i dont know what to do with my 2 monsters. But I am really looking forward to getting back into it, getting my hands on one of these and starting a new build.

Grease attracts dirt make a seal for the inner and outter axle tube

I'm going to get one 😍

Since its been awhile, do you still feel this is the best method to keep dirt out of the rear diff? Or would you do things different today? Thx!

HI does anyone know how to stop the squat when you take off as your front wheels come off the ground ? and you cant control your ride . Thank you BILL

Very good

I see how grease prevents water from entering but doesn't it make sand and dirt stick better onto it? And once sand and dirt is stuck onto the grease it'll just stay there and create like a grinding sanding effect. Which in turns will wear out the parts quicker. I believe in using grease internally and sealed off but not exposed so that other elements could stick to it.

Let me know how the extra udder butter works in the rear axle. My buddy is picking one of these up soon and I would love to help him out. I hope that the grease stays in there and keeps the dirt out. Thanks

From a Tradesmans (Millwright) to much grease causes Churning which in tern causes HEAT. Take note of your heat readings. Way to much UDDER butter. Cheers 🤔🇨🇦

Hello, what is that cordless drill? Makita ?

What shock covers are those from dusty motors?

who in carnation screws this apart before racing it?

Hello i have a new UDR, excelent video, and one question, what shock absorber in the rear axle? A little UP ⬆️ very good!

Do u think it better that m Greece cause it not as thick?

Never use a power drill to tighten screws into plastic. But then again, sometimes you have to learn the hard way ya'll. Exception - The drill has an adjustable clutch setting, but those can be hard to find for R/C or Hobby use. Thumbs up other than that.

I'm thinking of making a gasket using rtv.

is this about advertising udder butter or servicing your truck??

Got mine 2 weeks ago and it caught on fire a couple days ago after 5 minutes of driving around on my driveway... Traxxas still hasn't responded to my emails.

None of that grease stays on ring gears. Slings off right away. O- rings are the PROPER way to seal off debris. Use the same stuff a real auto tech will use, Right Stuff gasket maker on all flanges.

thats what she said bro 9:23 cool stuff just got my UDR this is must.

nice good

Where can I get the udder butter?

No grease will stop sand from getting in past the axes!

Chris is it a pain in the ass to change the Lower A Arm? I hit a bad hole lol

put a o ring on the rear axle

I dont want to knock your video cause your on the right path but if you watch rc sparks when he greases an axle a little goes a long way and to much can actually damage your gears as far as dirt coming in the rear axle through tge tubes id try to adapt a bearing in the tube thats how axial combats it then you add a small amount of grease to the bearing and very little gets to the diff

Why not use a gasket maker to create your seals instead of Grease?

Do you have a link for the shock covers?

I love that you’re taking care of your truck, but just looking at it’s condition kinda tells me that you really aren’t enjoying it to it’s full potential. This is a Baja truck and it looks brand new out of the box. Go out and hit some dunes, dirt tracks, short course indoor tracks, go get it alittle dirty and you will soon realize that your excessive amount of grease will cause more harm than good. To better seal the rear axle an o-ring can be used in combination with grease. I personally would use 1/2 the grease you used inside the axles as when they are closed up and spun, it will all get thrown away to the sides.

I would pull the front diff and tranny on traxxas don’t fill the diff with enough oil

Team fast EDDY GREASE for me.

Nice video m8, to bad that we in sweden cant order the cow rc lub and stuff.

How do you spell the company name

how can you say what works when there isnt a single scratch on that truck?

grease is already water proof .....

And corrosion

This truck has been nothing but problems for me. It keeps pulling to the right now no matter what. The steering servo went out right away, the transmission gear went out, and the brushless motor came loose and chewed up every gear...

Whoop!! If your interested ?? Or wait for the hotracing to be made:):)metalfabbyreed.com/collections/udr

Is this an UTTER BUTTER infomercial? 😴
