"don't get me Rong, I bet 6s is gonna be fun but I think 4s is plenty of power for this truck" Kevin Talbot: (puts it on 8s!)

[@rccosplay3249]

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

[@aznboi2520]

Still loving it? Thinking about getting on next month!

[@Spoogitywoogums]

It's a trophy truck, short course trucks are wider and are usually all independent suspension. Trophy trucks are exclusively solid rear axle running on long travel suspension.

[@treytenedwards2215]

no short course trucks while wider still have a solid rear make sure you know what you are talking about before you say it

[@trentwhitney3095]

2 years later lol

[@FliteTest]

this isn't a short course truck, it's a trophy truck! noobs:)

[@bxdhov]

bro please tell me what is the difference between short course truck and trophy truck

[@rcfun3997]

I wish I could get this it is my favorite traxxas ever but I can’t afford it ☹️

[@SgtKong]

Called out from within the circle, HA love it!

[@marksimmonds6364]

Short course trucks are lighter and are designed for short races. Trophy trucks are designed to race up to 1000 miles through the desert and carry a lot of spare equipment like driveshafts tyres etc

[@josephkyd3648]

Lmao got'em

[@t2nate137]

Not short corse truck it’s a trophy truck.

[@rickrussell]

It's a scale "desert trophy truck". Real trophy trucks are MUCH more modified than short course trucks.

[@blackman3551]

Rick Russell please check out the channel American Made Rc

[@piercecleland3673]

Not necessarily MORE modified. They are both built from the ground up and custom tube chassis, but they are just built for different environments.

[@rovu621]

Rick Russell actually they are similar in hp because short course trucks have up to 900 hp about the same as a desert truck.

[@believeachieve2847]

An amazing time for r/c vehicles! For a while they were building r/c cars that were built similarly to trophy trucks, but now they look like they're being built to look and perform almost exactly like trophy trucks!

[@LineTwist]

Trophy trucks are a blast especially jumping

[@SuperChipperson]

Just got my blue UDR a week ago, but that white/orange FOX body looked amazing so i got one of those too!

[@guillermopayne9950]

How some beach bashing with some slow motion shots! It's nice to see the suspension at work! Great info given, thank you!

[@orbitaljellyfish808]

7:59 other trucks don’t have the same extent of rear travel. This is a situation where the “scale” adherence is filling a functionality void in the RC market. I don’t care about looks but def won’t complain, especially with the light bars and telemetry, and available sensors to go full-gonzo with. Love the video 👏👏

[@treytenedwards2215]

to anyone who is wondering the udr is a pro scale based off of the Traxxas owners own Trophy truck and is one of the few rc's at 1/7 scale

[@victorrisk6098]

THANK YOU BOTH for your insight on this Traxxas UDR!!! I really love your style of show! It's always both entertaining and informative.

[@ReadySetRC]

Great overview! Would love to see on 6S but even more I would love to see a cinematic video of this truck. I feel you guys would kill a cinematic video.

[@pennydavis7076]

Great video trophy trucks are awesome

[@andrewcushman2726]

TROPHY TRUCK!!!

[@MCsCreations]

Wait, what... Didn't you try 6s yet? 😑 What are you waiting for? A formal invitation? 😝

[@stellerate]

Kevin Talbot made his 8s! Lol 😂

[@lastonmars3566]

*Me as a trophy truck fan when they said this is a short course* : 😐🤨😑

[@Drive_On]

I know I know I flubbed that one big time. I’ve learned a lot about RC and trucks since this vid :) thanks for watching

[@phildavis4878]

That is a really nice truck and yes I would like to see a tearing up a track that would be really cool

[@No_remorris]

6s and FPV. Love this channel and the content it provides.

[@haydenunsell]

I have the rigid version and probably the first 2 upgrades I did were remove the side bars and replace the hardware with stainless steel The brand I used is called Rc screwz and basically you get a assortment of screws and washers for the truck Also makes it look really nice

[@MaximumShellz]

6s BASH would be dope.. nice 👍🏽 job fellas

[@SycamoreRCSpeedway]

Fpv for sure! 6s high speed runs on the highway fpv from the passenger seat of a car.

[@blackman3551]

Michael Picard bro you should check out American Made Rc

[@hazereaperxd8779]

This is how many people love the truck

[@RobertNES816]

This is really cool. The price point isn't that bad once you see what goes into this truck. Its way more complicated then most kits out there. Personally I'd like to see more footage of this being driven on a track just like the real thing.

[@shutterbug1076]

Great video....one word....NITRO!!!!!

[@JDMJDK]

Primo aerial shots as only you guys do!! 👍

[@blackman3551]

JDMJDK please check the the channel American Made Rc

[@missakadandeniya]

Great video with amazing drone footage!

[@ruftime]

No AIR!?!?!?!?!? Come on guys! A simple plywood jump? A dirt berm? That suspension is all about soaking up big jumps:-( DriveOn needs to DriveHome:-) I do love you guys!

[@JubalCaine]

Put an FPV camera in the driver's seat.

[@blackman3551]

Kremit the Frog please check out the channel American Made Rc

[@aaronsoto629]

I run my UDR on 6s. Prepare to constantly replace parts on this truck if you do. The transmission goes out time and time again. the gears strip especially if jumping etc. Love my truck though.

[@ezrabegin8234]

I’m getting this truck for Christmas

[@chiccorocker]

Definitely give it a try on 6S, I'm pretty sure it will put a smile in your face ;) Take it put somewhere where the terrain is not as flat. Something similar where the full scale thing is normally used. Some place with some jump and some unevenness in the terrain but that would still let you open the throttle and let it go.

[@properlytwisted2172]

SCALE!..more Scale!..:) Really like this one! One reason I personally haven't gotten into this RC more is that there are a BILLION fast ones that keep "looking" like a Walmart toy...Gimme a model that looks real and goes half as fast..Just my opinion..:)

[@roughasrc1813]

Nice one, would like to see you lads take it to a full scale race event and share it around with the drivers and fans, cheers.

[@didierneeferc]

6S!!!! Amazing lookin car!

[@didierneeferc]

Btw just finished my ESM P-39 2,04m wingspan Saito FG-30 4stroke gas engine still has to get its maiden flight

[@pmm4177]

I dont buy traxxas much anymore but i like this one!

[@indra-pd1jb]

I need more videos from this awesome channle

[@STEVOD313]

I’ve had my UDR since the first shipment n have never ran it on 4s, only 6s, that’s the only thing I’ll ever run it on, it’s way to slow on 4s

[@chrischovanec2093]

How many upgrags /$ have u put on it scence then? and also how many parts have u broke/$ ?? Just wondering for if I want one myself or a crawler trx 4..sxt10 ii

[@hobbytubepv4137]

I want an udr so much.

[@paige2732]

nice truck I like the shocks in the front. the swaybar in the back looks a lot like an axial yeti or rock rey with the frame setup.

[@Seaweedaids]

Can't wait to see what you guys do once you get your hands on an X-maxx!

[@DavidGreen-gc8zt]

I think you should add FPV and do tricks with it, like try jumping the shop or something crazy that it was meant for. Or, jump it off the dirt mound you were driving on and try to land into circles or something like that? Looks sick though!

[@andyp7109]

Just found you guys, I've watched flite test for the longest time and I'm glad you guys also have a ground fleet too!! You should totally do an fpv setup in this thing like you did with the redcats!! Love the channel, love the content, keep up the great work, I'm excited for what's to come!

[@davidchurch4372]

I like the spare drive shaft

[@Flippindabird808]

turns out the two spare tires in the back aren't ornamental😆

[@Drive_On]

Now i Have a set of paddle tires on the back for when the snow comes here in Ohio :)

[@demochannel4727]

This thing is 100 times better on 6s. Please go for it!

[@usertab2005]

Cmon guys....jump that shit!!

[@caelfentress2681]

TSM is completely in the reciever

[@SgtKong]

A 6S FULL SEND right over the shop would be amazing!!! Please make that video

[@theperceptionengine]

6S and also some scale whoops and jumps

[@robertsilva9343]

You guys are awesome nice video

[@isaaclyonsf1]

Awesome!

[@edgargarcia9530]

TROPHY TRUCK But that’s ok nice video good stuff

[@GreenLantern814]

You guys have got to get that thing on 6s and send it!! It's much tougher than you think.

[@brohoop]

Y’all don’t seem to reply to comments, but I’ll ask anyway. When the UDR came out, initially it garnered favorable reviews, but since, it’s been panned as too breakable and expensive to fix and also flips too much. What is your take now that you’ve had it for a good while? Thanks!

[@staccatoglock]

Legend has it they are contemplating on replying to some of their viewers🤣

[@JarcodeRover]

Paused @00:01 sec.. First coffee.. Get comfy... Breathe in... And "de"pause :D Yeehaaaww!! I love this truck very, very much! Edit: For me, 4s will do allthough i'm a speed freak. This truck screams scale so i would love to see some scaled down drivers view, or in other words : FPV please :D

[@bradleyheath2875]

I'm going to be getting this next week

[@YouFrAGit]

This is more expensive then my 1st car! Legit no fucking lie lol

[@paige2732]

I love my arrma nero. when it dies i'll buy something new. it just wont stop going. you know whats a lot like this the arrma senton.

[@johanmaree7985]

Make it Fly!!!

[@cantifpv669]

I would love to see a pan and till FPV system in the driver's position. If it is as scale as you say, this would help push me to get one and put in the FPV system so I could drive it like I was driving the real truck. If anyone could do it, it would be you guys! P.S. Don't forget to put a gyro on the till for maximum FPVing!

[@bigbuckoramma]

"Today is a great day because..." Autofocus?

bigbuckoramma please check out the channel American Made Rc

[@Tyler-es]

@@blackman3551 why the self promotion?

[@ousqa]

Did not realise that it was that big

[@calidude4211]

Not a short course truck. T truck or Baja style. I will be buying one.

[@bootsinshoes3198]

Heh... I have a 35lb, 3ft long, 50mph 2stroke monster of a truck. Best part of 2stroke is that you get to race all day. Electric is faster, but I'll be out playing while you're inside waiting for your batteries to charge :P

[@Andre_Thomasson]

thats why i love my nitros

[@tankerboysabot]

Thats not a short course truck, thats a Trophy Truck. Short course trucks dont have spare tires and typically have more roll bars for the short course bashing that you see on 1:1 racing.

[@lfAju]

Take it to the track...

[@air-headedaviator1805]

I wasn’t sure if this build was $600 worth until you pulled open the hood and said it can use 6S. Still, compare 600 bones to what you can get for an rc airplane as far as performance, and I still have questions.

[@GreenLantern814]

Worth looking at videos RC Sparks did with his if you're curious. It's a scale truck, sure, but what it can do is mind boggling.

[@blackman3551]

Black Man why in every comment your telling people to go to American made rc??

[@ACP336]

Black Man 😂😂😂

[@smoke48]

I have one it’s worth it.

[@normandykush3134]

I've seen people bash them hard then complane on the cheap broken parts !(0h ther is a spare drive shaft at the back too!). Every thing is identical to the real Justin lofton full size truck (for the bashers watch lofton KZbin channel ? Do you see him doing big over size virtual jumps? Lol. ... Don't do a speed test do a bumps an rutts test .(find out what the planetary gear reduction dose? I meaning by what %reduction? ?? Dose it mean the back wheels start off a little bit slower to stop talktwist ( like the yeti xl )the gradually catches up?? !!!! No one has got to the bottom of that ! Nice review :) UK:)

[@ethanrichardson5168]

I want one!

[@ulaB]

Suspension seems to be great.

[@johngreat265]

Nice! Scale is awesome though I could do without the fire extinguisher and radiator fans even the drivers unless they are FPV

[@treytenedwards2215]

same

[@policeswat64]

Would like to see it on a dirt track. See how it handles around turns

[@jessicalatex2539]

Traxxas.. the school bully in the rc world

[@aarem01]

6:45. Bolts already rusted? Again a premium product

[@mojaverc1585]

Rob premium

[@anthonys5170]

Things fn awesome looks like it rolls over a bit. The wheel base must be to narrow?

[@s14duma]

Remove rc driver and replace it with mini pan tilt fpv cam with head tracking. Then find an awesome 1 mile long track point to point dirt and go wot with only goggles! Something ive been dreaming mini baja rc fpv race. Mini dust to glory

[@prolfinator]

you guys NEED a shortcourse track at your new rc paradise.

[@rcpatapouf]

Awesome dude love ur vid

[@darrenruzicka7538]

this isn't a short course ya cook its a trophy truck

[@TrapOrDiE187]

You guys missed that they give you a spare drive shaft right in front of the wheels

[@bob6168able]

I need to decide only one. The Xmas or UDR .. which one you recommend? I see UDR should be in the $500 more or less. Not $750!!

[@jordancornwell4548]

My god! I think you guys said scale about 1,000 times! We get it!

[@rpm-zr4fh]

Have you guys ever heard of the Redcat shredder V2? I just got mine for $325.00, it is considered a 1/6 scale. I love it and think you guys would have a good time with it. It is a perfect opportunity to experience a large vehicle for a low price point. It comes ready to drive except for the batteries.

[@Drive_On]

We asked about it but it was out of stock at the time. Looks solid!

[@RonnieBCP]

Redcat gets no love from these Traxxas fanboys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rpm-zr4fh]

It's really fun. If you get the chance to drive it I don't think you will regret it. Awesome video guys, I think it is pretty cool that you are branching to cars. I started with drones then got a plane and then got a car. Its all fun. I cannot wait until the next episode and I also cannot wait to see you guys destroy that tank with the airsoft gun. You guys do a great job, keep it up.

[@rpm-zr4fh]

Haha it is all good. I am neither for or against Traxxas, just could not find anything I liked from them that in my budget.

[@RonnieBCP]

@@Drive_On Did you ask about the new Dukono or the R5?

[@CurtisRas1]

How do u power it off? I tried pushing and also holding down the power on button. Finally had to pop batteries out??

[@Bstiffbb1986]

If u drove it to the low voltage limit and the light is blinking..u must unplug the battery to turn it off.its normal and how its supposed to be..its set like that from factory

Fpv is lots lots smooth!!! trust me bad ass but not good for bashing!
