Traxxas UDR best upgrades and mods - Test Run of the Unlimited Desert Racer Truck

[@freeriderphil]

In my opinion, the UDR is the best RC with the greatest possible entertainment effect. the speed, the chassis, the details, the ability to tune and personalize ... I love it. very nice video again

[@steliannistor1878]

I said it before and I totally agree…Best RC so far out there.

[@Rebecca_The_Dragon]

Just got my UDR, 4 years of lusting after a Fox UDR and its finally here. And its so pretty idk if I have the heart to run it offroad now lol

[@cryptoindeed5909]

Lol I'm on the same boat. I've made a few upgrades with aluminum and stainless steel and the thing is a beauty. I have a losi baja Rey 2.0 as well as the Mojave 6s and although I love those as well there something about the udr. Is not the fastest nor the best handling but looks wise is perhaps the best looking rig. I mainly ride slash ultimate which is lots of fun. Good thing is little by little you build your collection.

[@slick1523]

I’m so excited, finally getting an XMAXX on the 18th

[@RCReviewChannel]

It's a new day.

[@Captinfun101]

You will love it, put a nut and bolt through the servo saver, rpm rear hub carriers , get the metal gear servo as soon as you can . I’m on my third servo , if you get new servo do the end points settings . Then it should be basically bullet proof

[@nogocux]

Looks really cool. Great job

[@maherkahala5269]

You’ll love it! I’d like to see ur face when you first inbox that beast

[@capracoins4317]

I really wish I could afford one maybe I’ll just skip mortgage payment this month LoL just kidding. That’s awesome man have fun

[@npc5569]

The UDR just brings certain satisfaction with its realism, personality I just love driving on humps and loose gravel watching that live rear end bounce its fun on its own.

[@johnundergrove7079]

I bought a traxxas udr from the bazaar and apart from the need to buy spare parts, I think it is the best realistic rc car of all. However, to tune the machine like this, my wife would castrate me. Good job

[@keatonspence3366]

My dad bought one of these today, it’s badass so far. It’s his first RC.

[@mattgaming8717]

Just got mine. And I love the realism too much its already 25% upgraded. Never giving this toy up. Its a lifer.

[@wiwmusic1]

Nice to see the UDR done up right! Great job my friend👏👏👏!!

[@blackhatstudios2441]

Play with shock oil viscosity. I bumped mine up to 45/50 wt and it made a big difference! Love my UDR, I was the first one in Vegas to get one and have added a bunch to it since. Coolest RC I've had in the last 20 years of being in the hobby! Great build! Makes me want to spend more money lol

[@orion000]

“I was the first one” lmao

[@SuperChipperson]

Just got my UDR a few days ago and just love the looks and quality of a 'pro scale' Baja truck / Stadium truck! Waiting for another 3s battery on delivery in 2 days. Can't wait to try this beauty on 6s!

[@ryano8613]

I'm sure the folks who bust ass keeping up on and using the field for it purpose are happy with you. RESPECT.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Field was not used for two years.

[@ryano8613]

I was just being a dick, context is tough online sometimes!! Rig is so sik! Mine in on it's way to this level

[@RCfootagechannel]

The layout of the spare tire on the loading platform is wonderful

[@michaelmcclung957]

Hi guys! Neil did a wonderful job on his udr! I have my work cut out for me! As my udr I'm just starting!

[@steveblackbird]

Really Love Neil's builds. Such great attention to detail. I'll say this is my Favourite. LOVE the UDR but this thing is gorgeous. Excellent choice in wheels great paint work and scale details. Love how they move around on their suspension, whilst given a workout.... impressive car that's for sure!! Only thing I'd worry about with all the aluminium suspension parts, mainly on the rear, is they transfer the shock further up the line. Normally you'd shatter the rear lower trailing arm... now you'd most likely break it off where it mounts on the chassis. Nonetheless this thing is amazing... Thanks for showing it off.. Really great work!!!

[@jimmynavarro3760]

Beautiful truck sir. I also have 90% the same upgrades almost all vitavon parts, I chose hot racing sway bars, trailing arms, and titanium upper links. Everything else is Vitavon Vitavon aluminum axle housing, transmission housing, Aluminum planetaries (both) Beadlocks V2s Hyrax A arms uppers and lowers, Knuckles, Steering links, Reefs RC Servo, Castle Mamba monster X 8s Esc Castle 1520 1650kv sensored motor Upgraded center drive shaft Vitavon rear drive shaft Vitavon Splined axles and hexs,( I really love these no more axle pins.

[@justinsilva3790]

bought one because i saw this video and im now obsessed

[@Jeff.55649]

I have a UDR with full Vitavon its looks so badass my favourite rc car!

[@kenneyforget4406]

That’s one sweet UDR I have one I just got back from running it love it my truck has a upgraded Servo steel front drive shaft Rpm rear trail arms upgrade rear driveshaft steel wheel hubs the rest is pretty much stock I did Use drywall tape and sugar on the body it’s over two years old and still pretty much together

[@KobtsevRC]

I see he loves this guy! I have to introduce his machines!

[@CharlesSmith-cr5lc]

This is one awesome rig for sure I just ordered mine looking forwardto all the upgrades , the difference between men and boys are out expensive toys

[@montanarc4148]

Love mine! About to drop some dollars on the vitavon kit myself, those housing are superb!

[@BlackSmithRC]

Crawler Innovations for the win bro! I'm a big fan. A dash voltage reader is a great idea. Nice options with the Castle MAMBA 8S ESC. I love my Losi Baja Rey, the is a whole 'nother level of trophy truck realism! M.I.D.W.I.D!

[@bobsennick7403]

I think I’d want the Losi, but damn nice build Neil!

[@RCReviewChannel]

The Losi is impressive out of the box.

[@Roberto-Pandak-Bayot]

Nice. Has the sounds and light effects too. It's just a matter of playing it now.

[@RCReviewChannel]

For sure. Big session tomorrow.

[@Roberto-Pandak-Bayot]

@@RCReviewChannel Trash and bash. Compete hard and show them what its made of..

[@the_drk_phantom9537]

That thing is beautiful, great build

[@Guy-em4ck]

Looks cool but if I had a UDR and did this to it, I’d probably never run it again lol. Too afraid of breaking something.

[@gasolinediesel972]

You wouldn't break anything. The whole thing is aluminum lol. I'd be afraid of scratching it up.

[@donzokor5312]

Just have to worry about bending parts now from all the weight... There is a reason the RC companies design the vehicle with plastic parts.

[@friktionrc]

@@donzokor5312 true….but let’s not be naive…they use plastic because it’s cheaper…that said, I do agree with you in that metal parts don’t ‘absorb’ any force but merely transfer the force to the next and nearest weak spot. And it’s not like metal parts are invincible…I’ve seen quite a few pics of folks running metal parts on different ‘basher’ rigs only to have the metal bend out of shape after a big crash.

[@edwardmonstergarage7978]

​@@donzokor5312 Premium Branded Entry-Level RTR Kits, will SELL Better Attractive Cheap with as much plastic annd cheap electronics and Tires. Anyways there are Many Aftermarkets Parts to select from, Mostly mass produced in a variety of colour, to quickly sell plenty attractively cheap. And Top OEM Pro Quality if you got the extra-money.

[@mohd.ramzirahimih6518]

@@friktionrc i had the UDR for a year but you will always have that feeling of afraid of breaking something even though it probably can take it.. So i sold it and bought the dirt cheap 1/12 FY08.. Heavily modified it and been with me for more than 2 years now. It also has the same look and realism of a real SCT.. Plus, the parts were dirt cheap.. So far ive been beating the shit out of it and still hold on very well..

[@stevestonrcguy5393]

Nice work, I love my UDR as well🤠🇨🇦, and as you know, you can put a ton of money in aluminum upgrades. I did mostly Hot Racing on mine so far with some Vitavon.

[@K8Nicole]

Thank you guys. Love the truck.

[@mikebird8290]

WOW what a AMAZING transformation. GREAT work SIR.🇬🇧🇺🇸👍

[@SebastianLong]

I have this vehicle and I changed a lot of the parts on it. I didn't build on the scale realism. All my attention was in the chassis and suspension. I very rarely break it. Most of the breakages were to the scale parts and the body. The other day I did break an MIP driveshaft pin. Before that was I stripped the rear diff gears. I don't recall breaking anything else TBH. I'm not easy on it and the aluminum parts and body would very easily show that. The lower arms are almost worn completely through from rocks and dirt impacts. I'm probably going to have to get a new set of them sooner than later. I haven't been using it as much lately as I've got the new Losi LMT Grave Digger and finally installed my brushless castle system into my Traxxas Summit. I've had the system for probably about 3-4 years now. I bought the system about a year after I purchased the Summit. The UDR in your video definitely looks really nice. I never have been really concerned about appearance as I thrash on all my RCs. Lol. The UDR as it sits probably looks like it's the worst of all of them, but it isn't the one that gets the most abuse. A good solid second though.

[@carywhite9853]

Is there any videos on how to do the spare tire mod? Love the way it looks. What’s ig name for the owner of the truck?

[@davidshoore4924]

Would love more detail on how you did the power limiter please

[@bhegg]

I second this. I also have the FS GT5

[@justinsilva3790]

How did you install the 8s system? did you have to make any mods? Also how do you fit 2 4’s in the battery tray?

[@ddavidson0404]

How did you get the stock lights kits to work after changing out the stock esc.. since it plugged into the old esc.. would like to have the lights work again after I went after market on the esc and motor.. thanks great video

[@Ghostworks999]

Dam the longer I watched the better it got hella nice rig

[@poloshobbyzone6355]

Beautiful truck, very nice video! the front light bars are yellow. Did you painted the acrylic on top of it? or its a different light model?

[@juliantreffert7052]

What you can do for a more realistic riding optic is to change the stock shock pistons to the latest of schwaben-tec tuning pistons “Fahrwerk 3.0”

[@rcpatinaguyllc2655]

Niel you killed it Brotha, thanks Frances for the review of this beauty

[@MrDjrecon]

I have one and I did a new servo and aluminum arms after that it’s legit I jump it and everything but most RC trucks will have crap plastic stuff or stuff to upgrade so it’s not just the UDR, imo the kraken is probably a better out of the box beater but you can make the udr bullet proof everyone breaks stuff on cars just how they come. What did you bracket did you use for the vertical tire mount after you cut away the tank portion?

[@rcdrives3882]

Great stuff, guys! Some awesome upgrades and mods right here. Thanks

[@glennjthompson332]

That's the best custom truck so far! (B+)

[@RCReviewChannel]

Glad you like it!

[@davidtessner169]

Beautiful truck

[@jochenweisel8612]

Awesome job Neil 👍

[@MikeRCWorld]

Wow , thats a nice udr , big and fast one, great video 😎👍

[@mysticalpotato86]

Looks nuts! Well done :)

[@reneespinoza662]

I like this video it motivates me to keep building mine

[@aidanhamilton9859]

I absolutely love my udr. Only complaint is my stock shocks haven't been very reliable.

[@meda2ni]

Very Nice UDR build. Maybe my next rig ;)

[@jerseyscaler445]

So what's the benefit of going this route with the motor and esc? Seems like top end speed is lost due to lower kv. Does the feel of that extra punch justify the upgrade ? Just curious bc I want to try a different motor esc Combo. Also does he chassis need to be modified to fit the motor? Love the video , love the channel btw👍

[@ReadySetRC]

Amazing work! Thank you for bringing this to us👍👍

[@MauzyrockRC]

Neil makes RC cooler! Best reviews here!

[@robertobassi1843]

Fantastico mi viene voglia di comprarlo! Grande tutorial come sempre

[@bishmuthify]

This one is awesome. Hoping you can also create a video on how you made this one, with parts and links. Thanks

[@RCrawler]

The perfect mod's! Awesome hop up, congratulation!

[@stevestonrcguy5393]

Another question for you, I know you have VITAVON wheels on the truck, which aluminum discs/calipers did you add that fit with the VITAVON wheels, thx 👍

[@michaelback283]

Clean, nice build.

[@hectorgorritz6781]

WOW please share how you did all the sound effects! that's cool!

[@rodbrown6002]

I would lovd a list of your chassis and suspension mods in aluminum. I have the UDR with the orange Fox body with some paint detail mods and I'm looking to upgrade it. Anything you can help me with would be great.

[@llorulez]

that looks cool man!!! great mod

[@texnorthman]

Maybe I'm the only one, but I would love to see this thing crawl on a trail or something like that, the low speed control was amazing compared to stock!

[@TheJoker2182]

awesome looking udr, just recently got one and happened to see this video and i was wondering where you got the vertical tire mod cause it looks so much better vertical than stock

[@Dakmaxx1218]

How do the rear tires stay in? I just got a UDR and I would like to see that.

[@N_Fortune]

Great looking rig btw! Love this channel and glad to see content from others. How did you secure your vertical mounted tires?

[@matthewmarkarian6119]

How did you make the stock light kit work with the aftermarket ESC?

[@charliemaybe]

would this car, stock, be good for off road speed runs and some light jumps like only a couple of ft high jumps

[@slowburn_1725]

Francis just sitting there thinking: I was so close to being cool then this kid comes along..,..oh and change your intro song " ITS GOOD"!!!!!

[@RCReviewChannel]

Rrrright?

[@rcdcsi]

great build bro .. i just want to know, how did you limit the throttle? thanks

[@jawknee21]

Whats in the pelican case? 🤔

[@terrypepper7913]

I have an opportunity to get a udr but I want vitivon so with all the parts they offer why buy a truck then replace damn near the whole vehicle? I would hope vitavon would create a roll cage with the flexing of the suspentions on the plastic cage .

[@carlosspriggs8267]

Hi I know this is an old video but I have a udr and I love the truck but hate the suspension. What is the suspension you went with and the weight oil used in the shocks thank you

[@djfrog2001]

Do you have a list of all the mods you did to the UDR?

[@kamo7821]

Hey guys I'm just wondering how you got the lights to work with the new esc?

I've got a friend's UDR on my workbench right now. Somehow he broke the spool in the rear end. I can't figure out how it broke since he drives it very gently.

[@paulz.6632]

How did he managed to use the lights without the traxxas esc?

[@pinkyscustomrcs2060]

Is my favorite Rc net to my losi dirt bike

[@weiss27md]

Great video

[@CUBEoneVX]

my opinion, adding too much weight ruins the suspension fluidity of the original that simulates a real trophy truck. If you add aluminum, try light weight but good quality. Vitavon stuff is very heavy, but the best quality. Hot Racing quality is decent but very lightweight compared to Vitavon.

[@joncrespo1596]

How did he get the factory lights to work with the castle esc???

[@christiansrcs7789]

That looks epic

It sure is. Surprised us too how it looks and drives.
