How do you signup to get the mudboss

[@harlyquin]

the original mudboss creators threatened to sue traxxas because traxxas stole the name mudboss from them, traxxas ignored the mudboss creators when they asked traxxas to partner up with their idea years ago

[@TomleyRC]

Traxxas are too greedy to work with other people

[@harlyquin]

Real mudboss bodies are way better than Traxxas” version

[@guest6423]

@@TomleyRC And yet Traxxas backed down and left the Mudboss name for Salvas to use. Traxxas could have easily crushed Salvas in court, due to the fact that Salvas is tiny and poor, and that Salvas hadn't trademarked the name.

My brother used to work at Hoosier racing tire in Indiana USA When I was a teenager, now my brother's no longer with us, but it was still a good memory after seeing those tires in this video. I may buy one just for those tires now.

[@ryurc3033]

Don't give them dingle dongs your money! You can get just the Hoosiers from proline, and then you get to pick soft or softer compound too. Just don't make the mistake I did and get 2.2 tires (shorter) instead of 2.2/3.0 short course size.

[@guest6423]

I wouldn't expect these to be very popular anywhere but in the USA, where local racing tends to be on small, dirt oval tracks. If you want to race RC on a regular basis in more rural areas of the US, you'll probably be running ovals in one of the Mudboss classes. Two really cool things about the classes are that they're tightly regulated, which keeps costs reasonable and racing close, and that the cars resemble their 1:1 counterparts, giving people the chance to drive scale versions of what they run at the local 1:1 tracks.

[@TomleyRC]

I like racing that keeps everyone equal and costs down, much more fun 👌

[@connorclark8541]

Keep the cost down is what this car does not do. The foams wear out really quick in the tires and end up ripping the tire in half. And if it's designed for beginners and to keep it cheap, they wouldn't have a new body cost $140 usd, for a new set of tires it's $60 usd. The front body clips pop off the second you get in a crash and the lexan breaks super easy. Right there is already half the price of a brand new car and all you've bought is wear parts designed by traxxas. They definitely need to step up the game in the foams in the tires and figure out how to make a body system that stays attached, especially if your going to be racing it.

[@connorclark8541]

To get rid of the body rub you can also raise the rear body mount

[@LukazRC]

It's popular here in Australia to not on the US level but it's around I've seen the full size mudbosses there called (V8 dirt modifieds) for sale on marketplace a few times an some small country towns here take dirt oval racing pretty full on.. also theres RC tracks around here that host 1/10 & 1/5th scale oval racing classes in Brisbane, Queensland where I em

[@verigone2677]

@@connorclark8541 that's the traxxas way, not the overall Dirt Oval RC way in NA and Australia. You will see plenty of TX Bandit and Slashes converted for MudBoss racing due to how cheap a used chassis is, but if you are buying all new the 1/18 scale sprints and modifieds are where it is at and you can have a full competitive race rig with spares for around $400 at that scale and as I said, a used slash or bandit can get you started as well. 1 Racing makes tons of chassis kits for reasonable prices and stock class electronics are very reasonably priced...don't mistake Traxxas standards for what the OP was trying to say.

[@commonnons3ns316]

This car is supposed to replicate a style of racing on a clay surface. These cars have massive power and are literally driven sideways and on 3 wheels most of the time. Im really impressed by how well they designed this thing. This is a new find for me and this video has convinced me to get back into R/C. Great video. 👌🏻

[@MikeDeckert]

That frot tire coming up when you turn is dirt oval racing at its finest. So cool!

[@kodak_jack]

One thing that's nice about that Slash is the wider wheels and tires. The typical ones are too narrow. Traxxas can keep their clip-less bodies!! They can also keep all of the modules you need to buy to get all of the features they offer.

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, I’m not sure on clipless bodies either. Very restricted on height adjustment

[@boduke9428]

Preach! I call them self removing bodies. My Xmaxx body ejects itself at the slightest hint of a crash. I spend a much time chasing out around putting the body back on as I do bashing. Crazily enough tho, my very scale looking TRX6 G63 that a clipless body would make sense and actually work has body pins and clips sticking out looking ugly.

[@kodak_jack]

@@TomleyRC No, they’re just a PITA to get on and off!

[@SmoothBrain23]

I love your collection of team associated from the 80's still in the boxes. Amazing! My dad raced in the 80's in the States and I used to race in the early 2000's in the States, mainly California. I've beat Adam Drake in my hometown and in Montclair decades ago 😂 he probably wouldn't admit it because I was using his kit car at the time, he said technically his kit car won so he won even though I was driving 😂

[@justsomeguywithayoutubepro1957]

I put the bl2-s in an old brushed rustler 2wd and it was whisper quiet too, like an axe system for bashers! lol actually had a lot of fun with the old rustler at the track with that setup. The motors built in fan keeps it cool too, I was able to gear it up quite a bit

[@BetriebAnin]

We (dirt oval racers) were mad at Traxxas because they named it the Mudboss when it just wasn’t a Mudboss. Our actual Mudboss class is based on real life Big Block Modified cars, while the Traxxas Mudboss is based on UMP modified cars, a completely different class irl. And it’s also confusing to be running a Traxxas Mudboss class and real Mudboss class in the same set of races. I live down the street from Traxxas McKinney, their HQ and biggest retail store, and interestingly, the boxes still say Mudboss instead of modified. The McKinney store would be the first one to get the new boxes because it’s also their distribution center, so I don’t know if they actually are changing the name to Modified.

[@TomleyRC]

I didn't know the full details, so that's interesting to know....Also with the boxes not being changed, Imagine if it was a big company that owned the Mudboss name, Traxxas would have changed the boxes straight away.

[@GSG-lc5zm]

Well, since you live so close.. Give them this message from me - 🖕 theives!

The tread design is what make the tyres screech like that, anything with a relatively soft compound and blocky tread will do it. Cheap tyres from China are particularly good at it! Not only is it a cheap thrill it means you don't have to give Traxxas any money 🤣

[@dazaspc]

A decent clay surface can give traction as good as a good smooth concrete with a sugar water coating. On a well swept and dampened Clay tennis court they would be awesome. Many years ago I tried it with 1/8" nitro Pan car. GT body and a home made sprint car style wing. We never really gave it much of a chance though as it tore up the tennis court to much. 1/2 hour of practicing took a day to repair.

I'd love something like the stock cars in a Traxxas if I could get out more. You know, the stock cars that race the oval with the big roof wing, not NASCAR, more of a buggy type with a rear engine and a huge sideways roof spoiler. I'd love one of them for ripping around on a Traxxas chassis. This body shell in some way reminds me of it at front

[@iannickerson2272]

My Granite, rebuilt to a rally car, makes the screech very well on pavement. On 4S I get maybe 2 races on a set of tires, worn through.

[@bigmac..]

What you need is ...272mph super long RC,not impossible if you use ducted fan combo hybrid like the big boys use the fan to suck it down,or smaller fans on each corner...active so get the best from low pressure and high pressure with active suspension . just follow the full-size thing.remeber just do it.

[@wordreet]

Hehe, what can I say, I don't like the looks, but the screeching tires are funny! You just need to belt the tires with some gaffer tape inside and they'll be fine. I've done that with two of my trucks already, works perfectly! Gorilla tape is the expensive option.

The front suspension is way too binding. You can see in the closeup when the cornering leans the wheel off the ground, the a arm does not drop keeping the tire off the ground. Might be designed that way to facilitate sliding around for it's class racing but freeing the suspension and proper shock and spring tuning might turn it into a road holding champ.😮

I think a big reason is possibly scale realism, as the actual modified lifts it’s left front in the corner. And yeah it may have something to do with helping it slide.
