We made a drinking game. A shot every time he says “udder butter” we all blacked out before the half way point. Great video.
Make it Happen! 😊✌️
7:20 everyone has their own techniques. plz dont over fill your Rcs with grease, the little dirt that will get in their will turn into a grinding paste, by bye gears, best option is use black silicone on the joint cracks from the outside , as it is peelable/removable.
Yes.
I totally agree whit you sr,, and like you said everyone has they own way to do the maintenance and I respected but I think 🤔 that was a little to much grease, just my opinion hope no one gets they souls hurt good day Rc world
Came to say that’s a lot of grease.
Lot of grease, but excellent video otherwise.
You are so carefull with your RC it's a great thing to see as a lot of yt guys just destroy them. Great job man!
Thanks. I’m careful and I appreciate their designs but I do like to bash them. This vehicle however is meant To be driven scale. Glad you enjoyed the video!
That is really nice to see. It feels like the others are trying to ge attention through breaking the cars and testing their limits. Keep on the good work 👍
Thank you! 😊✌️
💯% it hurts watching people destroy rc’s lol
I got my brand new udr today! I work with rc cars since 1.5 years, and now i starting up my old hobby again
I love the care you take on your equipment. Hats off, total respect. Man, it must be nice to have Max Amps sponsor. I am totally sold on their batteries, but I will never be able to justify the price.
Awesome video Chris! Good info for everyone who owns the truck! Thanks for getting it out there for everyone. Looks like you are really enjoying the truck so far! Wait till you drive it!
Thanks Keith! Thanks for being a Traxxas Test driver!😂 If it Wasn’t for Your investigation of the truck I would’ve never known about the issues! I can’t wait to get out there and put the wheels to the ground! 😊👍
Greasing the axle..."OH YEAH" 🤣 I really enjoy these vids! You share the same eye for foresight, detail and handling as myself. I'll be purchasing a UDR in the near future and have been doing quite the fair share of research to know what maintenance, mods and spare parts to prepare for and have on hand when I do. I really appreciate the work you do here! Keep it up!! 👍👍
This is a long time ago, but I just got my first UDR and videoes like this is so great. So first thing I did was to go through the gears with traxxas green grease. Great stuff. Allso greasing up the rear axles to prevent sand coming in to the dif. Thank you👍
That’s awesome to hear my friend! Glad you found this video helpful! Comments like this always make me smile! 😊✌️ Now get out there and MAKE IT HAPPEN!
It’s just red and tacky that you paid too much for.
You don’t need to grease anything like that. It all gets thrown off anyway. Plus over greasing causes drag.
The correct amount of grease is as much as it will take without overheating. Without documentation trial and error is only way to figure out. It does look like Red and Tacky, which is an odd choice for the differential, but an awesome choice for the axle shaft housings.
Looks like he don't drive it enough to know these things. I have a udr myself and will never put that much grease on anything in there. Plus that body still won't last with the tape
I was looking for this comment... I was always of the impression that too much grease is not good and he drowns the thing.
Personally I would go for the dust covers and some metal skid plates and thats it.
i just added o rings to the out side and by the bearing no dirt or WATER gets in .goodLUCK BUDS
Good correct way to do it. Not filling with grease LMAO
Just one per side?
After 18 months of running and bashing this UDR of mine, tough cookie no doubt! 💖
That’s awesome to hear! It’s an awesome rig for sure!
Fantastic video!!! I can hardly wait it to get my own! Glad you figured out how all the dirt gets into the real axle and diff! Let us know how your grease works out and if it did indeed keep out the dirt and sand etc.
Glad you enjoyed the video bro. Videos can’t put into words what this truck will look like when you first get it. I will definitely Let everyone know how the grease works out thanks for watching
Awesome reference video brother Chris, I 100% agree with you that traxxas nailed this one and I will be taking the same steps to protect my UDR.. The realism of that rear suspension is crazy.. Yeah bro traxxas nailed this one..
Thanks Roc! Glad to hear you loving this truck! I like that your into bashing now!
Awesome video very nice and useful information for the UDR.. great job thumbs up 👍👍
Thanks man I’m glad you found the video and information helpful!
Nice thorough preparations.
Thanks man I’m glad you enjoyed the video
Yes, research!! I always do a heap of youtube research before i pull the trigger on any rc, we the rc community are very lucky we have guys like yourself and many others, keith, vasco, hemi, aaron, gio, rich and jang to name a few lol! 😊 Im getting a udr!! Super pumped!! 😁
Thanks bro I appreciate it I’m glad you find the videos helpful and you enjoy watching! Nothing like a little preventative maintenance
Out of the box my lower side body mount was cracked as well. The lexan in that area is surprisingly thin. Kudos for the idea of using gorilla tape.
Yup same with mine, traxxas sent a new one though.
Good to know about dirt entering the rear axle 👍👍👍
Glad you found it helpful! 😊
nice video. I received my UDR a four weeks ago and ran it straight into a curb...now the 4WD doesn't work. Good vieo. Time to take it apart.
Matt Jones I did the same with my arrma senton 6s and now there is a big chip in the front a arm. No damage luckily
Yeah bro, Keith sent me those pictures so i tore mine down. I found the same issues. So I dis the same. Great video. I love it as well.
Hey Scott I am very happy that Keith found that issue because I’m glad I addressed it sooner than later. Let me know how yours works out thanks for watching bro
Gotta tear mine down,Did not know there was a problem with the axles good job Chris .. going to get some udder butter first.Wow glad I seen this video major issue traxxas needs to address. Thx addicted to RC.
Yeah man! Crucial areas to check out for sure! Glad you found the info helpful. ! If your going to pick up the udder butter than make sure you use my discount code! 😊
I really didn’t wanna tear mine down being brand new never ran yet,but after this video I think I will do it to fix it before it breaks instead of vise versa,bullet proof what I can now👍👍👊👊📹📹
Yes sometimes it’s good to address these issues before you drive the truck. After seeing Keith’s pictures I figured it was going to be necessary better sooner than later plus you become acquainted with your vehicle. Thanks for watching bro
EVERYDAY RC Thanks for doing it,have u stopped saying “wow” now that u have had ur truck for a day,lol loved the live unboxing,I was the same way when I unboxed mine too,check it out Gio also is subbed n checked it out,he’s a good dude we talk all the time
No still saying wow! LOL
I love watch people taking care their RC's
Thanks for watching bro! Glad you enjoyed! 😊✌️
@@EVERYDAYRC
I get mine URD today.
Awesome! Just subscribed because of your attention to detail and the way you respect the engineering of the cars. I try to be the same way with mine. Please keep making vids.
Thanks slot man especially for the inspiration. Glad to hear you enjoyed my work! I still put up videos from Time to time. Subscribe so can see my newer videos! 😊✌️
16 years into the hobby, just going to leave this hear, lucas oil grease "super tacky" red, works well, the heavy duty green one... well its superb, not a lot os "sling".
I'm hoping proline will make other trophy truck bodies for these udr's ..Great video..i'll save this video for future maintenance on my udr that I don't have yet but will be getting soon.👍👍
Thanks for watching bro! You will love the truck when you get it!
So, how do you drain the water out once it gets in past all that grease...?
good video, teaching techniques, easy and well explained, new follower
Thanks! Great to have you! 😊✌️
Great video, very Informative.
Looks like a cool scale truck! Nice music choice by the way!
Thanks bro! It’s the truest scale trophy truck out!
I just had n idea,,drill n tap to install a small grease fitting ,then u can pump the grease in better if done after upgrading to metal axle housing....
Cool idea
I pumped grease from one side till it came out the other then had to press the bearings/ axels back it
Used my dewalt grease gun and grease i use on my equipment so far so good
Omg. Wow. Just wow. Ok bud
Wow, i AM going to do that with my UDR, thanks Man
Awesome bro! Thanks for watching! Glad to help!
Awesome video my brother 👍👍👍👍
Thanks bro.
9:28 Mom I need an adult :)
Great tips 👍👍
Super awesome video ya Traxxas did a phenomenal job on this RC car which I don't own it but I'm going to wait till the price comes down on it and get it
Yes Traxxas did an incredible job Developing this truck!
Thanks a lot for making such a nice video. Its verry helpfull. 👍🤘👌

Nice job please keep me and us all about all the PM and also upgrades Thanks Big time for the info .BILL
I’m going to get one soon but I don’t know how to work on a rc so idk if I should be worried about it
Just medium usage in the backyard how long would the 6700 4S pack from traxxas last?
A while. Maybe around 30-40 mins
@@EVERYDAYRC awesome thanks for the reply……SUBBED😎
NP. Glad to help! Thanks for watching! Make It Happen! 😊👍
Keep up the good job...from RC Daily
Thanks a lot man! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Grease attracts dirt make a seal for the inner and outter axle tube
I'm going to get one 😍
You gotta get one.
Where did you get the decals for your traxxas udr, they look great ? much nicer then the stock stuff
Maxamps, Cow RC, dusty motors, and an old set of Traxxas decals that I have
This udr is other level alot people think is a rc and not is a scale truck front the real one is other level
Hey Man! Been a long long time. How are you? This is RC Antics, I changed my username because i dont do RC that much anymore, but this truck made me rear my head again. I might be picking one up this week.
Really sad to see Associated killed the Rival while I was on Hyades. I also bought an MGT 8.0 before i left, basically its a nitro rival, so with parts support being an issue i dont know what to do with my 2 monsters.
But I am really looking forward to getting back into it, getting my hands on one of these and starting a new build.
Im never buying team associated ever again. I just got rid of a really nice SC8e because the front axle was showing some wear and there are no replacements available because Associated disconinued the truck years ago and stopped making parts. Ive wanted a UDR since it came so this was a good time to switch plus Traxxas will always have parts.
Very good
Thanks
I see how grease prevents water from entering but doesn't it make sand and dirt stick better onto it? And once sand and dirt is stuck onto the grease it'll just stay there and create like a grinding sanding effect. Which in turns will wear out the parts quicker. I believe in using grease internally and sealed off but not exposed so that other elements could stick to it.
I agree but with such a deep layer of grease like his added to the axle housing shafts, it would take a lot of effort for the sand/dirt to reach the gears.
hey EVERYDAY RC
were can i get thos shock covers u use could so use them on my udr
RcHobbyAndRacing Dusty motors
As to why there back wheels spin a bit slower ( planitery complex):) lol u think like me mine comes to morrow !! Did the same with MY yeti xl:)
That’s awesome bro! You will love the truck. That’s awesome I did the same to my YetiXL also!
HI does anyone know how to stop the squat when you take off as your front wheels come off the ground ? and you cant control your ride . Thank you BILL
Thanks for the info please keep them coming .Thank you BILL
Nice video chris, qick question, im thinking of getting, admittedly the price is a bit steep here in aus ($1270) but is there a option to remove the two men inside the truck? I like realism, but just not my thing. :) cheers for all your great work very thorough.
Wow that’s pretty steep for Australia! Yes the drivers can be removed. Did you get your prizes yet?
Yeah its rough here in aus to be an rc addict! 😉
EVERYDAY RC not yet chris, everything in aus seems to get to a crawl from leaving overseas, im patient though, im keeping an eye out, ill send some pics once it does though. :)
If You Really want to beef up the body, Use hex sticky drywall tape and shoe goo I've used it on all my rc trucks works great and will stop hard impact cracking and breakage . Tha RC Addict here.✌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yes if have use that method before. This time didn’t think it was too Necessary. If it gets any worse I might consider it👍
EVERYDAY RC Hey Chris have you tried spraying it with flexseal? 3 or 4 coats works great!
I ended up using the drywall tape and shoo goo. I wanted to make sure it didn’t spread! Thanks for the feedback
EVERYDAY RC just cut off the glue glob ,you gotta work fast with shoe goo ,put it on fast and let it set over night ..mh
EVERYDAY RC Try the flexseal sometime. It's really easy to spray and does a great job.
Hello i have a new UDR, excelent video, and one question, what shock absorber in the rear axle? A little UP ⬆️ very good!
From a Tradesmans (Millwright) to much grease causes Churning which in tern causes HEAT. Take note of your heat readings. Way to much UDDER butter. Cheers 🤔🇨🇦
I’m a tradesman as well. In this case it’s not to much grease and I showed my reasoning for doing so. No heat issues whatsoever. Cheers
Just wondering why did you get the 2282sg and not the 1283sg servo ? Thank you when you reply!:)
This is there stock traxxas 2075x servo. I haven't changed it out yet.
I'm thinking of making a gasket using rtv.
That would definitely seal the deal but it might be a little overkill just a little bit of grease on that lip should work fine. If it doesn’t then I would say use some rtv
Hey what motor comes with the udr? Is it a hobbywing?
that or castle
Let me know how the extra udder butter works in the rear axle. My buddy is picking one of these up soon and I would love to help him out. I hope that the grease stays in there and keeps the dirt out. Thanks
I will definitely let everyone know how it works out. It seems to be a little bit of an issue and I wanted to address it sooner than later. I’m hoping it keeps everything out. Glad you found the video helpful thanks for watching
Just buy the red n tacky lube . I bet they Are the snake product and they just labeled it.
nice good
Got mine 2 weeks ago and it caught on fire a couple days ago after 5 minutes of driving around on my driveway... Traxxas still hasn't responded to my emails.
Ethan Knight, glad I’m not the only one. Same issue. Spent 800 bucks and it caught on 🔥
Since its been awhile, do you still feel this is the best method to keep dirt out of the rear diff? Or would you do things different today? Thx!
I definitely feel that it is a good fix for the issue but more of a Band-Aid. A friend of mine has done the same thing and still had to perform constant maintenance just to clean up the inside of the axles. Unfortunately it’s just a design for with the truck. If you run in dirt and dusty conditions you will have a lot of maintenance. As far as my truck I have not taken the axles apart since this video and everything has held up great
@@EVERYDAYRC Thx for the great video & reply! Someone said using the metal axle housing, like Vitavon eliminates dirt from getting in but those are expensive. Either way, I'm looking forward to running my UDR! Take care.
So you made this video a few years ago, would you care to give us a review of how it lasted?
who in carnation screws this apart before racing it?
Do u think it better that m Greece cause it not as thick?
Yes I think adding a little more grease was a wise decision!
What shock covers are those from dusty motors?
They are Dusty’s standard shock cover. Usually get a free set when you order a cover
thats what she said bro 9:23 cool stuff just got my UDR this is must.
Noooo don't do this. Please.
Hello, what is that cordless drill? Makita ?
Yes MAKITA! 😊👍
None of that grease stays on ring gears. Slings off right away. O- rings are the PROPER way to seal off debris. Use the same stuff a real auto tech will use, Right Stuff gasket maker on all flanges.
Where can I get the udder butter?
The link is in the Description box. It’s from a company called Cow RC. Make sure you use my discount code to save 10%
Never use a power drill to tighten screws into plastic. But then again, sometimes you have to learn the hard way ya'll.
Exception - The drill has an adjustable clutch setting, but those can be hard to find for R/C or Hobby use. Thumbs up other than that.
put a o ring on the rear axle
Why not use a gasket maker to create your seals instead of Grease?
It’s a good idea but I think it’s a little overkill. The grease will create a nice watertight seal that’s not to permanent
@@EVERYDAYRC gasket sealant isn't permanent either and scrapes right off fairly easily
is this about advertising udder butter or servicing your truck??
Did you find the video helpful? I’m just trying to provide some helpful information to everybody. I’ve had this grease for a long time and have never shown it on the channel and thought that this would be a great application To use it on. Just showing everyone the products I use. You don’t have to use it if you don’t want to. Thanks for watching
Frozen don’t be a douche he showed lots of useful info
Chris is it a pain in the ass to change the Lower A Arm? I hit a bad hole lol
Hey Joe not a pain at all. Pull the front skid plate off and hinge pins disconnect the shocks and it should come right out
thanks Chris
No problem. Sorry about the Hole must have been a bard hit bro!
yeah i was running on the tarmac never again strictly dirt or grass LOL
No grease will stop sand from getting in past the axes!
Nice video m8, to bad that we in sweden cant order the cow rc lub and stuff.
Thanks bro! It’s all good you can use any high-quality grease. There is a grease that I like to use from the STIHL Corporation. It’s meant for Power equipment but it works great For RC cars
do you mean www.stihl.se/STIHL-produkter/Bensin-olja-och-sm%C3%B6rjmedel/Fett-och-reng%C3%B6ringsmedel/21474-1535/Multispray.aspx maby
No, that is spray. The grease that I am talking about is for hedge trimmer gearboxes but it is absolutely top quality. Here is the link. rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F142761154644
Do you have a link for the shock covers?
Yes. Scroll down to shock absorber covers. www.dustymotors.com/shop/shroud-covers-by-model/
@@EVERYDAYRC awesome thank you
I dont want to knock your video cause your on the right path but if you watch rc sparks when he greases an axle a little goes a long way and to much can actually damage your gears as far as dirt coming in the rear axle through tge tubes id try to adapt a bearing in the tube thats how axial combats it then you add a small amount of grease to the bearing and very little gets to the diff
I would pull the front diff and tranny on traxxas don’t fill the diff with enough oil
How do you spell the company name
Cow rc
Team fast EDDY GREASE for me.
how can you say what works when there isnt a single scratch on that truck?
If you watched the video I shared the info my friends had sent me on the truck and the problems they were having and they suggested to Address some of these issues before I drive the truck. Since this video I have driven the truck a lot and have not had any issues.
@@EVERYDAYRC im just giving you shit dude. i actually opened up my motor case this evening and greased it up with some Red high temp bearing grease, from which your video motivated me to do . to my surprise, they were both bone dry from the factory. actually made the driveline significantly quieter since it was greased.
😊✌️glad the video helped dude!
And corrosion
grease is already water proof .....
This truck has been nothing but problems for me. It keeps pulling to the right now no matter what. The steering servo went out right away, the transmission gear went out, and the brushless motor came loose and chewed up every gear...
I love that you’re taking care of your truck, but just looking at it’s condition kinda tells me that you really aren’t enjoying it to it’s full potential. This is a Baja truck and it looks brand new out of the box. Go out and hit some dunes, dirt tracks, short course indoor tracks, go get it alittle dirty and you will soon realize that your excessive amount of grease will cause more harm than good. To better seal the rear axle an o-ring can be used in combination with grease. I personally would use 1/2 the grease you used inside the axles as when they are closed up and spun, it will all get thrown away to the sides.

Whoop!! If your interested ?? Or wait for the hotracing to be made:):)metalfabbyreed.com/collections/udr
Wow they looks great but im in the process of having something made! Stay tuned!
Is this an UTTER BUTTER infomercial? 😴
You can use whatever BUTTER you want man😂. Just sharing WTF I’m doing. 👍
