aaaaahhhhh Mine is under the tree.....c'mon Xmas. I am 53 and I feel like a little kid know it is there and I cannot touch/play with it.

[@MultiSkyman1]

Good to still feel that excitement.

[@joedough2723]

Got mine used with a busted servo upgraded it haven't had an issue since love this thing it's a beast

[@ocularcavity8412]

LOVE the UDR only breakage was the servo and i already bought a Savox 1256tg before the car arrived since that is my favorite go to servo

[@wantsacobra]

just got mine in September love it so far replaced servo and front drive cups has a ton of mods already vitavon stuff next only thing I hate about it is the way it has no power off button 😑

[@BlueDroneBlues]

I was having the lid issue as well. That went away real quick once I upgraded to the 4s lipo and put the jumper in the plug closest to the locking arm the cover has attached to it. Of course, like you I replaced both plugs off my Reaction 4s to the Traxxas connectors. That's my only real complaint like many others is the forcing of the battery cover, as well as the thin area's of the shell being much weaker and thinner that makes the shell tear much easier. Pretty sad part for 100 bucks.

[@f.chrisliuzzo7889]

I loosened up the screws on the battery gate hinges a little for the extra clearance to fit over sized batts and its much easier to get the gate closed and way more easier to get the door slid into place and locked..

[@mandodebbiechavarria6201]

Thank you for the info.....i just got the fox edition UDR......plus own the slash 4x4 but im loving the UDR.....👍👍👍😁✌

[@RoyFabian]

I love my UDR. I have the RPM upgraded plastic trailing arms. I was gonna do the aluminum, but at that particular time, on the RPM ones were in stock at the hobby shop. They've been great though. And they have replaceable skids on them. Ive broken a bunch of front cv shafts though. They're cheap, but ill have to see if there's an upgrade for that

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Feedback like this is much appreciated

[@jdpaslRC]

I love UDR. Great truck.

[@RcBasherBoi]

jdpasl : 🐍🐍🐍🐍

[@gwpattrick]

I just bought one too i also bought the aluminum trailing arm right off the bat.

[@RattrapRC]

Sick acceleration too!!!

[@mitchelljohnson8107]

Well that is fun, good job on the 9000

[@man-zv3zf]

Your number 1 point is the reason I'm gonna get the UDR over the notorious probably eventually get both

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

They’re very different beasts depending on where you’re going to run them would be a big part in your decision

[@bkehlin]

Thanks for mentioning that the battery connectors on the truck are Traxxas. I've watched several other videos on this truck and none of them mention this.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Glad I could help

[@nemesis8664]

Nice vid,sir! I think this is the one and only traxxas vehicle i really like.

[@stijnloos4659]

Hi Richie Love your videos!

[@rcbullshit7859]

Awesome video I can't wait to get mine!!

[@STEVOD313]

I knew u would love the UDR I’ve been trying to download my udr bash video from yesterday since I got home from the bash I might have to re do the video on the pc so it will load!

[@STEVOD313]

Those floureon packs work wel, though, as u know I have the same ones n tons of good power n run time yesterday n these floureon come with the traxxas connectors

[@STEVOD313]

Oh ya congrats on the 9000 subs Richie

[@RcBasherBoi]

STEVO D 313 : You sneaky snake.🐍🐍🐍

[@STEVOD313]

Rc Basher Boi yesssssss 🐍🐍🐍🐍☝️🏁

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

I couldn't see the floureon ones with the traxxas connectors on amazon - so richies amazing box of battery adapters came out, and if I say so myself it's an amazing collection!

[@stevekew2251]

Great job on all your videos! Keep doing the top 5s or 10s. What about the roll overs with this truck? Thanks again, Steve

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Steve, many thanks. I wanted a bit of feedback as to whether this format would work. I can borrow a few cars to ones besides the ones I've got. I shall work on some more on the days when I'm stuck at home! I nearly didn't buy this as I had an axial yeti I'd fitted with traxxas vxl running gear and I spent more time rolling it than driving it. I'll test it on blacktop sometime soon but I strongly suspect loose stuff is where it's at it's best

[@jeffvanlue4872]

Ty

[@full_metal_mofoe]

Can one solder the Traxxas battery adapters straight to the battery? Would the Traxxas charger then be able to charge your lipos?

[@____j____a____c____k6466]

Mine did wheelies at full throttle for about a week, until the tires where worn.

[@Daisygirl915]

I am interested in the purchasing either the UDR or EREVO. Do you have a recommendation?

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Peggy depends where you are going to drive it? If you are going to go on road a lot as well as off road then get the erevo 2.0 as the UDR will traction roll a lot on blacktop but it handles really well off road on loose dirt. The UDR handles a mite better at speed, but the erevo is better over jumps (Back flips, big air etc), the UDR like fast shallow jumps but it's not one to get for huge air or to do flips with. Hope that helps. Erevo maybe better for multi surfaces.

[@Daisygirl915]

Thank you. Yes, I was planning to use it on the blacktop quite a bit. EREVO sounds like the right RC.

[@Foundation491]

Great video buddy can I ask what size floureon batteries you are using in the UDR thanks buddy 👍

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

They were 5000mah 50C 3S ones BUT I've had a lot of problems with the balance leads failing in 2-3 months of purchase and killing off the battery. I think the balance leads maybe shrink wrapped on and not soldered either way I can't hand on heart recommend you get them. I'm a big fan of ovonic batteries at the minute

[@Foundation491]

Driftomaniacs brilliant thanks for the reply buddy il check them out 👍👍

[@xboxice2005]

Regarding the lipo get your soldering out and remove the deans and solder the Traxxas connector on problem solve. :)

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Adapters fit, just a squeeze. I use the same batteries on a lot of cars and the deans are the most common one. e.g. traxxas won't fit on arrma's! Easier to use adapters although I avoid the cheap ebay and amazon ones as they can fail or overheat.

[@xboxice2005]

Ah cool 😎 I understand,HRB makes good lipo as well 👍

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

I have one of their 100C packs - it's like dynamite!

[@xboxice2005]

Yeah i bought x8 5000mah rc boat and cars and x6 2800mah 4s for my planes

[@AxiomaticPro]

This is my comment!

[@msterassassin6522]

So much for turning on notifications. I got nothing and now I’m late

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

youtube have adjusted the notifications from the old 'always' setting to either 'always' or 'sometimes' - I only found this out from netcruizer. Sorry you didn't get one. Next one coming up at 10k.

[@gasolinediesel972]

I dont like how the fronts lift like that. it looks cool and feels good to drive but i had to swap the spares with the fronts already! the rims pull away from the tire, but the glue is stronger than the rim, so the rim is cracked

[@megustachuletas3956]

Kevin Talbot has a tutorial in changing the connectors in the chassis for the UDR to XT90.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

I use deans....

[@fastdude2002]

Driftomaniacs same principle regardless of connectors you use. Just use your imagination and make the deans swap work, I did.

[@jalee6587]

2 standard size hard packs fit perfect in the compartment. There is not 7 -8 inches of travel its around 4.5 inches full down full up travel on the rear suspension.

[@carlosoliveira5253]

Hey i know from your videos you have the Srr too, can you tell me what car is the funniest to drive and what car break more stuff? By your experience. Thx for all help you can give and keep doing the good work.

[@RattrapRC]

Another cool vid

[@heyitsfredee]

What kind of batteries are you running? They seem to fit very well.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Floureon 2 x 3s Packs, they are an easy fit with the 3300mah ones, and a 'comfortable' fit (Read that as I have to lean on the car hard to shut the battery door) with 5000mah ones. I'd say if you're on the lookout for new packs for the UDR buy 4 x 3300mah ones, the easier fit is preferred, and you have spares to avoid carrying it home in the event the packs run out.

[@HaydadRC]

Congrats on 9000!

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

many thanks Shen! I'm back with the world after beign quite ill last week!

[@BlueDroneBlues]

You know my Floureon batteries 2s 7.4V, 6200 mAh 40c, wouldn't last much more then 15 minutes in this truck. They would great in my rock-Crawlers and last a good long time. Just not in my UDR Fox. I ended up buying 2 Reaction 4s 14.8V 5000 mAh and stick one in at a time of course. They last in some cases over an hour or less depending on what I am doing with them. My Floureon batteries didn't even get below 3.8 per cell and the UDR would have the red light blinking and and you could see the power loss. Is anyone else having said issue? Good vid!

[@ToGrimmToWin]

Kenny Stroner c rating is lower on the 2s lipos ?

[@BlueDroneBlues]

@@ToGrimmToWin untrue. I see 2s lipo's 100c. I have seen 4s lipo 25 and below. My 4s lipo's I have running are 50c. Just because my 2s lipo is 40c shouldn't be the soul problem. Look at all the 4s Lipo Traxxas batteries, they all are 25c. 🐹

[@mattiazanni3086]

How did you raise it this high?

no link for tailing arms ? i haven't broke mine yet but i wanna be prepared and all the aluminum ones i found online are $70+

Sorry for delay. Here are the ones I got just over $25, they were on amazon as well but they've all double to about $50. These are the ones I got though www.ebay.com/itm/2X-Aluminum-Rear-Trailing-Arm-Lower-Linkage-for-Traxxas-Unlimited-Desert-Racer/183235613483?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=690516003042&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Driftomaniacs thanks I REALLY appreciate it XD

[@ToGrimmToWin]

Get rpm ones and rpm trailing arm skids

[@car_detailing0327]

What battery’s are those

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Not sure without rewinding this one, however the batteries I'm using on it at the minute are these - amzn.to/2JGwY4W don't let the mah put you off, they are huge bang for the buck. Check out the C rating

[@rassanity3292]

Mate I'd rather snap the plastic trailing arms, and I have, than have the alloy trailing arms snap somthing else. Plastic suspention parts are expendable and cheap to replace to boot, I'd rather spend the $30 and have some spare ones in the toolbox.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

thing of it is since fitting them I've not busted anything else. it's personal choice so i respect your decision to save some money but despite some huge abuse the rest of the car has held up fine. This is a very common mod, in general I only upgrade when stuff breaks, (BTW I just like good RC cars so I'm not a traxxas or arrma fanboy! If it goes well I don't care who makes it. Although one wonders if arrma are running scared of entering the solid axle market?). I've a losi SRR which despite rumors of it being 'weak' is far from it.

[@masonkeller3584]

does anyone else have an issue with gears sheading themselves on 6s? I can't even make a full run without it blowing up the pinion and spur every run

[@nikolasekulic3376]

I would love to win the give away as I only have one hobby car. It's a arrma granite 4x4 which I bought after your videos on it, it is an amazing car and am thankful I found your channel and your videos on it. Congratulations on the 9k subscribers. Best of luck in the future.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Nikola that's a great car to have. Now funny you should mention that as I've a castle 5700kv and a mamba x on the side next to it, which set me thinking....However need some uprated diffs first! The Granite is way more stable than the Stampede, if you go brushless I'd stick with a 3500-3600kv motor, it'll go like a rocket and yet lose none of that stability

[@nikolasekulic3376]

Thanks for the reply. I've been thinking about going brushless. Will you be doing a video on the upgraded diffs and that new motor?

[@theringmaster3684]

That acceleration is downright scary! How many cell battery are you running?

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

6s - 2x3s Ovonics at the minute, although it was on floureons in this video. The ovonics I just tested in my erevo (search my recent videos). I would say I've just tested them in the UDR, just got back from my speed spot, UDR went 18 inches forwards...and the pinion came off!

[@ToGrimmToWin]

Driftomaniacs e revo shock and rod ends if you get a shock rebuild kit take the rear shocks apart and take one of the rubber bump stops for the shock shaft put it inside the shock under the piston on the shaft then put it all back together it will keep the shock from coming out to far it’s like running limiting straps.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Well the other 250 million people over here in the USA call it 'aluminum' so I do as well! Hope that makes sense!

[@TheTruthHz]

@@DriftomaniacsRC well if the other 250 million who incorrectly pronounce it "aluminum" are so stupid that they can't understand it's aluminium, then they most likely can't understand your accent either, so why not go full on yank "y'all"? Also "Hope that makes sense" is a question, NOT a statement. I hope that makes sense?

Traxxas connectors aren’t built into it on the other side is a piece you can remove and modify or 3D print a new one that fits a different connector or hot glue ones you like in place problem solved

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Thanks for the info and I appreciate you sharing that they can be modified, to anyone looking at them to all intents and purposes they are, the average person seeing one in a hobby shop isn't going to pick it up undo the body (which is screwed on) and look as to how you can remove or modify them. They're simply going to pick it up look at it and think they're built in. Thanks for sharing with people that they're not though as I appreciate you taking the time to provide some 'value added' info. Indeed I bet if I ask in my 2/3 LHS over the next few days they'll all think they're built in.
