So you must be new to this the heavy duty parts come in all colors not just blue those are absolutely heavy duty parts I'm not even a fan of TRAXXAS and I can clearly see that the box is showing you blue to highlight them to show them better normally they come to match the body so the blue rally would have blue

I bought the clipless parts for the stampede 2wd and somehow they shipped me a rustler front lower clip. Took 20 minutes to explain.

The towers might not be, but the casters are. It’s physically impossible to install the maxx shafts without the HD outer suspension

I like how you can see the past tire marks

I would try a smoother road ! Good luck

From a fellow red dirt mud slinger to another, you got my sub sir. I like the genuine attitude and how you handled yourself through this. Well done.

I can verify that the rear clipless body mount on top of the shock tower. The mounting holes are incompatible with the “older” style shock towers holes. I converted my old rally to newer clipless mounting. The heavy duty parts are the only ones that are compatible with the new clipless system. Most likely you got the Raptor R heavy duty parts. (They’re that black/charcoal gray parts)

Those are 100 percent heavy duty components

...Land Cruiser. I wish they would do a 4Runner.

Looking at it, this is supposed to be a GT3 Mercedes, so the only thing missing is the rear wing

That Mustang is pretty sweet!

Excellent video with lots of good info. The fact that you do the research for all of us and document it in videos like this is the reason I will always watch your videos. Good on you for the helping hand!

I got the Cen Subaru and upgraded it to make it faster, having fun with it. There was a good chance I would have considered that Traxxas car but am getting burned out on what I call the “Traxxas confetti paint scheme” and don’t always want to have to buy and paint a body to get something that looks different. Minor annoyance but it’s what swayed me.

24:45 . And this is why I will likely never own an Rc boat 😮

Lmfao! That would be on par for Traxxas..

Don't enable mediocrity. You've been duped. If you want blue parts and you pay premium for blue parts. Get your blue parts. This is America bait and switch is illegal. The shop will get reimbursed for defective products, Traxxas will replace their product. Stick it to the shop.

Looks HD to me.

if your box says blue`! you should get blue my brother if here in sweden happen this ! will be retorne...

Great video and some great jumps. That looks like a great place to bash. You called it at the beginning when you said ". . .something is getting broken". Kudos to your wife for supporting your hobby, while sitting on the sideline.

Lot's of good information; glad you figured it out. I know it is a little disappointing, but the color of the parts on the box not matching the inside of the RC is not that big of a deal IMO. As long as the parts are what they are suppose to be - heavy duty. Not a big deal unless, there are different model numbers for the different colors. I am a regular customer of that HobbyTown on Turkey Creek. I am somewhat new to the hobby and usually have a lot of questions. I can say every person has always been very nice and very helpful. They are great!

Most of the Traxxas reps are really nice, but they do have a couple that make you feel like you are bothering them....your hobby shop will take care of you, they sound just like my local hobby shop, beey cool!!

That little trail looked just like a rally stage 🔥

That’s a big rc car

Been a traxxas fanboy since 95...turning into overpriced repetitive platforms...for 8 years now,been having same,if not more fun with other brands..come up with something worth the money traxxas,or ur not keeping repeat enthusiasts!

After all the petty bs lawsuits they did in the past to screw other manufacturers over!??!they should feel the same with false advertisement 😅

Feeling like you got ripped off by traxxass?? How shocking! 😂😂.

Hobby Town has excellent customer service!

This is a great example of why i went from buying only Traxxas to only having 2 Traxxas left in my collection. That first phone call should have cleared everything up in 2 minutes rather than 3 1/2 plus hours driving.

I have an early release vxl rally and it came with all the blue plastics. I think it’s just the they switched plastic colors and didn’t say anything about it

It should have the blue parts like that's on the box

Do then batteries fit the udr? Nice truck my mate just got this💯💪 its a beast, I do have the udr just that bit better 😁🤙🇬🇧

On the parts list they are heavy duty but in grey 😅 mine got it to

This is some of the reasons I don't like Traxxas they shipped me a drag truck with on esc and told me he couldn't do anything but I bought it from Traxxas

I just checked mine and mine are blue. I picked it up earlier this year.

I would have lost sleep over this until it was verified.

I would never purchase anything again. Especially cause he didnt wanna see the proof . They need to be cancelled . Overpriced

1:24 those are heavy-duty. just not blue. Obviously, you never saw old "not-heavy duty" parts on 1/10 Traxxas series. And also some new heavy-duty parts come in black. It may be a box art mistake but it's not a tragedy. p.s. you can always upgrade to aluminum parts and those come in any color you like.

6x6 putting in that work 💪

The first ones came out with the blue ones but now they have differnt colors and grey is now the stock ones that come with it

Yes. Blue parts

Some new HD parts are black.

Thanks for the information. I have an Orange VXL that does have all of the blue parts. I bought my car when the new VXL's were released a few months back.

The blue used to indicate that they were 'cold weather resistant'. They compounded the plastic in a way that they didnt get brittle in freezing temperatures. Now this is just speculation but since Traxxas incorporated these parts on the whole line of cars im betting that they just thought that the black would look more professional instead of a clowny blue . Personally i dont mind the blue as i have a couple sets of the old blue arms and theyre fantastic . Hope this helps, cheers! All that said, ironically enough, i have a similar story.. ish .. i had been wanting the ST rally, ya the one that got replaced by this one. Brushed, expensive for what it was, they go 14mph out the box . The day comes and i take it home and immediately finger it all up .. but the diffs feel grindy . Call Traxxas and tell the guy i know it sounds impossible but both diffs are bad like they didn't put them together right. He says no way, so i go to my hobbytown (funny parallels eh?) holler at Dick, he gets on the horn and i hear him say stuff like ya absolutely no evidence of it touching the ground or being driven . Hangs up and says ya youll have two new diffs next week . The agents you call hear all kinds of stories day after day so its asking a bit for them to give a crap if you are telling the truth or not, but they do their job well and thats something we are losing in the rc world . I hear horizon has some kind of ticket system and they wont call you until you drop serious monies. Oh well . Go rip the green bean some more!

Rally BL-2s comes in red or blue car color. heavy duty parts come blue Rally VXL3s comes in orange and green car color. Heavy duty Parts come gray I have an orange vxl and it’s gray

Yeah if it s supposed to come with the blue parts and you wanted blue parts and the box shows blue parts you would probably be a little disappointed but in all honesty . The grey and black might be better plastic I’d it’s upgraded . Might be a blessing in a disguise 👍

Tney just colored it to highlight the part and of course make it look better than it is

That new rlaarlo one about to release that looks like this looks like a really good one for collecting and using of course

That’s wild

I called them about that. They told me they changed the color because some people complained they didn’t like the blue
