- Thinking about buying a Traxxas UDR? Watch this first!
In this video I explain everything that I hate about my UDR and what I'm doing to fix it. We even do a quick comparison to the Arrma Mojave.
Let's give the UDR a quick refresh with a Proline Body, new servo and Traxxas Light Kit install and explore all the reasons I hate working on this thing.

So repairs take hours instead of minutes? All part of the enhanced realism!
Exactly
😂🤣💀
Horrible give me 4 clips
@@10thScaleGarage you guys are dumb the steering servo is on the bottom of the truck all you have to do is take 8 screws off on the bottom to get to the servo and the whole motor and transmission
@@brysonpavey8398 yeah they just wanted to come up with reasons to complain about it. I’m assuming these guys are armma fanboys
I have owned mine for a couple years and love it. Most of your repairs don't even require taking off the top anyways. It is mostly designed to be repaired from underneath. It is not a basher for sure! I had to round off the edges of my wheels so it wouldn't be so easily tipped over when I turn hard. It isn't the most balanced car for sure. This car was mostly designed as a trophy truck and a lot of detail was done for it. I have my Traxxas Maxx as my basher if I want to get crazy!
I do need to play with my RC's more. I have spent a bit of time the past 2 years more into getting into drones than anything else. Flying in Manual mode is so much fun!
I went UDR because it's actually scale, not just a body like a big traxxas slash. Basically a kraton with a SC body. I like trailing arms, solid diff, belly pan etc.
Get a drill and you'll forget all about the screws lol.
Must say, as much of a pain this truck is to work on it’s so fabulous to drive, looks and feels fantastic, i suppose each to your own but I sold my mojave after buying my UDR lol. Great informative video either way 👍
Can confirm that almost everything on the UDR is fragile and a pain to repair...
Except the motor and transmission.
They are tough and the gears still look great after some serious torture.
Every other stinking part though, ugh. Replaced everything else at least once.
It seems to crash hard,too. I blame lack of control while in the air for the massive cartwheels and nose dives they will inevitably suffer. You sure got it looking great.
Yeah, I try not to jump it hard on the track like I do my Baja Rey.
That's kind of what makes it so cool. It's like a model that has great attention to detail that just so happens to drive and have great suspension. It caters to a different group of other than your casual basher owners
I like the challenge of driving it and how it looks and feels. I've had some hard rolls etc and so far I've been lucky with nothing broken and actually impressed by the durability - though coming from R/C heli's and planes thats always gonna be the case! Love the paintjob - definitely want to try it out for myself now.
If traxxas just sold kits with out their elecctronic for a slightly cheap price they would be the GOAT company.
A superb paint job, in fact, it is out of this world. Fantastic channel, thank you both.
Mystichrome. They used it on the '04 Terminators
Like most other RC's ya gotta keep up what you beat up 🤷 lol Some do fall apart - break a lot easier than others though I must say.
The UDR is awesome when everything is functioning properly. 😁
if* everything
As weird as it sounds, I think maintenance on the udr makes maintenance on the Arrma 1/10 scale line look like a breeze. You always had to disassemble the whole front end to get at the servo.
Love those servos 🤘 running one in my slash now, works great
Enjoy the week really nice set up
Oh man, that looks amazing what you did to it!! I would maybe buy it just for the scale experience and slide around in the wet at night with the lights on. Would never bash it.
Totally agree with the driving, it's tough. It is rewarding though. My only real gripe is how front heavy it is. It nose dives like nothing else I own.
I've been with my UDR since the begining late 2017! I'm loving it a lot. Certainly NOT a basher but then again I don't bash. Great scale and always gets some compliments @ the park or wherever I take it too. Great RC no doubt and very durable as the only items I replaced was the steering servo and the front skid plate. I also replaced the drive shaft but not that it broke I just wanted a new one after 2 years!
Right on
Hope you're doing ok, been missing seeing your videos more frequent. It's 24th scale season! Hope to see if you get a trx-4m and what you might do with it.
Those servos are superb.. have them in all my crawlers and also UDR for over 2 years now.. no problems at all, and cost "just" 25 euros..🎉🎉
Really great channel always cool stuff
My BETU 35kg servo is great on my EB48.4 👍 as is the Surpass esc motor combo annnnnnd all the other budget spec stuff I've bought thanks to you!! 😁😁
I think I just lost the surpass ESC in my HPI :(
That paint looks so sick 😱
Cool and informative video, I was considering a UDR at one point but gave up on it due to it's proprietary design i recently reconsidered it again or a E-Revo 2.0 VXL cause of the Traxxas fall sale where they were 100 USD off but i decided to get a Sledge over one of these. I'm glad i didn't buy a UDR i would rather have an Arrma Mojave EXB i like having reliable and durable cars but that's just me and i understand the appeal of the UDR.
Love the look! It's the same colour I done my crawler in 😎 I backed it with Bright Gunmetal to give it a metallic effect
Nice! I bet that looks wicked.
I'm really proud of it, I've got a few videos on my channel that shows it
Really nice paint job
I was looking at the UDR , Losi Super Baja Rey and Mohave but the deciding factor was Horizon hobby had $200 off Super Baja Rey.
Truck is tough as nails …happy with my choice!
Hey guys great job, looking good😉👍🏽💯. Iam sure you know this already, however thought i mention it anyways , you can 3d print a new panel to replace the Traxxas battery connector panel, if i found the file, i will definitely send it your way, well have to say, your content is always top notch 😉👍🏽💯
I own two UDRs and bash both of them on the daily, after about three years they’re still holding up and nothing ever seriously broke except the bodies and tires being bald
Same here, I drive it the same as my Xmaxx. All fun!!!!!
Looks killer!!! How did you get the body mount screws to pop like that, paint them?
Body is nice for the moment and that montage track kicked in just right. Great vid!🏎️💨🏁
Thank you so much
Beena sub for 3 yrs and love the shenanigans yall do for the fun of the hobby. Unlike 1:1's you get to have fun torturing these products and still live to tell about it everyday!!
I used to have a Losi Rock Rey. I got an electric screw driver. Many, many screws. I sold it and regretted it almost immediately. Bigger RC's weigh more and put a lot more stress on the parts so that is certainly a consideration. AGFRC servos are great and actually provide their rated torque, they make servos for literally everyone. I got a chuckle out of you working on this thing, I think I cussed the hell out of that Rock Rey everytime I worked on it. lol.
After 4 years I have broke the front lower control arms once and the steering servo died. Otherwise it has been great. I don't try to kill itm so it has been a reliable go to blast to drive !!.. fast smooth and great looking.
WOW, that paint job!!
I feel your pain with Traxxas servo’s. Brand new Xmaxx stock one went after 5-6 light runs on turf field. No jumps.
Hoss and Maxx servos went after a month, again light runs, no jumps whatsoever.
My favorite part about all my UDR despite all of your complaints being true.... is that it just looks so special when driving
It’s the most realistic looking truck to film.
I just chuck up an Allen in my baby drill and go nascar on it. It’s kinda fun.
I have actually rarely broke my UDR. I upgraded all the parts i saw the "test" channels broke. I purchased mine 2 or 3 months after release.
The spacer for the the battery plug in part with the 2 screws. Do yourself a huge favor and just toss it out! You will have more space to plug in and not have such a hard time always trying to put the battery compartment back on! Happy Trails and Happy Holidays!
Paint is awesome! What is the paint you guys used?
Good content!
Thanks!
with the adopters, 2 screws hold in the traxxas ones, take them off and use a Dremel to widen the hole enough to put XT90s in or something, thats what i did
Question... if the servo is accessed from the bottom, why did you have to take the upper off? (body etc) thanks bro!
They just wanted more stuff to pretend to complain about. UDR is hands down the top trophy truck on the market 🤙🏼
It looks awesome just like my Losi Lasernut. And keeps and has been down longer then I’ve used it. It’s sitting now waiting for differential parts. The term money pit comes to mind. I love it but once I get it going again if it breaks again it’ll just sit.
If they suck to work on, they end up on the shelf.
I think you guys should go buy an X-Maxx it’s a basher for sure, that said I love my UDR for driving and handling fantastic, and looks so realistic on display. I guess one would say the right tool for the right job. R
I’ve driven probably a half a dozen X-Maxxes. The first one had ESC issues and was on LiPo cutoff mode (using fully charged Traxxas batteries) the second one blew an ESC under partial throttle moments after I was handed the transmitter. (Sorry Hank) and most recently we jumped one off of a 18” kicker and the rear wheel bearings exploded and instantly chewed about the drive cup on the diff. The others that didn’t blow up were overall kinda mediocre to drive. They look fantastic and I’ve seen some take sone abuse. That just hasn’t been my experience.
Hard work pays off she looks sick
I got mine christmas last year and its been solid but then my esc let go but lucky enough i got it replaced via warranty and then 3-4 months later the new one is out also😂
I like the UDR that I have it's been a good rc I think anyway!!! great video guys!!!
Have you had to replace much on it?
@@10thScaleGarage not one thing yet
The way i found how to enjoy my udr is to upgrade the weak points when new. Upgraded diff cases and do the open diff mod in rear. / rpm trailing arms/ steering servo and front drive shaft that connects the trans to the front diff. I did all those at once and enjoyed my udr for over a year without breaking anything . Only things it went through were tires from doing non stop power slides at the park. Great truck for me!
Nice detail
You aren’t kidding. Working on the steering is a nightmare. Body turned out nice
Hey thanks! I’m just glad I didnt lose and screws.
Mine has all this installed? Where did you get yours?
Wow that's one of the coolest paints I've seen.
Wow, thanks!
I gotta say the UDR does hold a special spot for me. Its expensive- but definitely not a basher
To be honest I hate when I see people bashing their udr so hard just to then break it and then complain I mean like bro thats your responsibility no one should take responsibility for YOUR mistakes
Any ideas on how to stop pinion backing out ? I’ve tried locktight ive made sure it’s on shaft correct,I checked it’s fully tightened but it comes loose on 6s after a few runs and strips everything, I’m on pinion no 4
The motor shaft has flat part on it.. chances are the first time the grub screw came loose it rounded a part of the flat end on the motor shaft.. thats why most of the pinions keep coming loose.. so take ur motor and take a file. Re flatten the part the grub screw sits on and bobs ur uncle it will stay tight..
Some of those cons are actually pro's for me, I want to put camera's inside mine so being protected is a plus, the scale realism is also a plus...The rolling over thing, eh not so much, you can solve a little of that by replacing the spool rear with an actual differential, and I intend to use a hard body on mine, I'm not going to go out and bash it.
I hate to maintance this Car but I love it still because when the UDR Works it makes so Fun to Drive it , you can Drift like in Tokyo Drift the suspension Work so nice... but I'll be honest the most time its broken :D
Its part of the RC hobby. Expensive and upkeep is required. I love mine and everything has been great on it. Im not a basher though, i cant see spending all that money and then try to jump it 50 ft. Into the air.
Me either, but we’ve taken it to the 5th scale race track and jumped it pretty far.
I hate having to work on my udr.. i love the truck but it sits for months at a time when something goes
I was just thinking about it recently, since you have been having issues with this truck, you know what you should try? Since you love your little 1/10 Losi Race trucks, get the 1/6th Super Baja Rey 2.0. I picked up mine a few weeks ago and everyone was right - it is a freaking TANK. People bash it NEARLY like its an X-Maxx and it just takes it, its incredibly well made and probably the most realistic and most scale driving experience there is on the market. The extra weight and size over a standard Baja Rey just makes it handle with so much more realism, its stunning to look at, and it produces the most epic RC Slow-Mo footage of all time. Seriously, just check out how this thing flies and watch the suspension in action, its absolutely gorgeous and you will love the truck for the rest of your life, I guarantee it. Yes, this truck is even more scale/realistic than the Traxxas UDR. In fact, I think this is the most scale RC available that isn't a crawler. Think about it, Losi literally went to the full size Brenthel Racing Trophy Truck team and literally copied the design down to every last little detail possible and then featured the full-sized truck running along-side the SBR 2.0 in their official promo video. I mean, there really isn't any way to get any more scale than that lol. Check out some epic slow-mo footage I found from a smaller YT channel: th-cam.com/video/FaA_qfb7ktI/w-d-xo.html
Yeah. It’s on my list.
Don’t forget the 2 most important things.
It’s a pain in ass to change the batteries and a total nightmare to work on.
That pretty paint job don’t mean crap.
@@donpaynter1980 Ya for some reason all the Trophy Trucks are moving towards this dumb idea of bolting the cage down and then bolting the body to it. The Traxxas UDR is just as much of a pain using basically the same battery loading procedure and the same bolted on body and cage.
I mean on one hand I get it: they want to re-enforce the expensive, large, extensively detailed Trophy Truck Body. When the body is out over the wheels instead of tucked in like a traditional Truggy, its super fragile and easy to break.
But still, both trucks could have been set up like the Losi LaserNut instead. I love how the cage is bolted onto a hinge in the back and then you can just remove the two front body clips and the whole buggy just opens right up, with the body attached to the cage and that cage only bolted to the hinge in the rear.
In fact I think this hinge system is the future of body mounting. Its solidly mounted and won't pop off like a Traxxas Clipless Body but its also incredibly simple and quick to use, just like the Traxxas Clipless Body System.
Investment electric screwdriver it takes me less than 2 minutes to pull the body off my UTI and if yours has a lot of issues and it's breaking a lot sounds like you got a lemon I've had my UDR for a little over two years I run a battery pack through it at least once every two weeks at least faithfully so far I've had to change one front drive shaft I replace the rear drive shaft just because it was starting to get a little bit sloppy I have got a couple cracks in my body and a whole lot of scratches on the roof and I broke one front sway bar so that I made my own sway bars out of coat hanger wire front and rear and it made the truck handle a little bit better I've been through three and a half sets of tires and that is it and I am by no means easy on that thing at all I have jumped it countless times probably 10 ft in the air I have lawn darted it many times I hear a lot of people saying they break a lot of parts but mine has been tough as hell and I've put it through its paces like I say I have not been easy on it by no means I have a track that I made behind my house I run the same track with my E-Revo 2.0 my E-Revo 2.0 has had many upgrades I take the UDR off the same jumps as I take my E-Revo off from even though the UDR is not meant for that it is meant more for scale driving but I can promise you that jump has broke my E-Revo 2.0 many more times but has not done much to my Udr
Hi do you know if the udr steering servo will go into the xmaxx please
I think the xmaxx uses a bigger servo.
Tbh I think for the price the udr would be less fragile ? It reminds me of the Kyosho outlaw rampage which I had.
They went for scale looks with this one.
It’s way beggar than the outlaw, but yeah, they have a similar look. Especially with the new body.
For the batteries I took out the interior and run gens ace batteries and they stay snug in there
✌🏻😎🏴People never believe me when I tell them “you need a whole pit crew just to change the battery in the UDR 😂
For realllll
How do you get that ford body style
The Traxxas trucks that everyone are exited about are the new 1/6th XRT (X-Maxx converted into a Truggy) and the new 1/18th TRX4-Mini which I think you will especially appreciate as Traxxas literally just looked at the Axial SCX24, made it ever so slightly bigger, and then simply built everything so much better. The Mini/Micro Crawling scene just got turned completely upside-down, nobody was expecting Traxxas to absolutely obliterate all the competition in the Mini/Micro crawling scene. And this is coming from someone who has boycotted Traxxas for 15 years, I might be finally buying a Traxxas despite how much I hate the company and its corporate practices.
How is it so cheap?
Don't do it, they will win! In a short while there will be more options lol.
Had the UDR for about 2 1/2 weeks ran it pretty hard just about everyday and suddenly my esc lights are flashing all red. Traxxas support are sending me a new esc saying it’s a critical condition code nothing they can do about it
That customer support though.
Trivial gripes. It's a bad ass truck. Subjective opinions really do not hold water. Give me any brand truck and I guarantee I can break it. Lol.
Udr or hammer rey?
Bald dude looks like a young Captain Spaulding 😂
This dude is funny af 😂
Thanks!
Good evening brother
Bridge the blown traxxas servo fuse with solder.
Yup i never put the body back on 🤣🤣🤣✌️
well. the first thing i see that use several brands of rc. including traxxas axial tamiya arrma etc. look in a comment, everything you hit or break you have to repair it, be it an arm, a pin, a servo or even a lugnut and from the part of the battery compartment and the adapters already exist, extend to use larger batteries and there are 3d parts batteries plugs to be able to use other types of plugs. Unless you don't know how to use a soldering machine, do it yourself. all broken if you really are a dirty rc you have to repair it and make upgrades. And the most important thing about this type of truck is to enjoy it, not to launch it because it is not a basher, speed run or drag racer. each type of rc is made for which it is designed. Or you'd throw an X-01 20 feet in the air and hope nothing breaks. Guys, come on, don't complain about something that you know is in any rc, whether it's a crawler, basher, speed run, drag racer, or drifter. something has to break. or at least that all their rcs have them as shelf queens. Well that's my humble point of view. 🤷🏻
Mystichrome . . . Nice!
Most the time you have to pull chassis apart on any traxxas to get to servo
All the super baja Rey’s are annoying to work on I know the feeling, still makes them one of the greatest Rc ever made.
Speaking lots of truth. It’s why I won’t buy it. Went for the Mojave. I’ll take body clips and easy access over this madness. I don’t have the patience. You guys must be saints to have worked on it and not destroyed your studio.
A surprisingly low number of tools were thrown…. But yeah, Mojave and UDR should hit the track and go head to head this week.
Any experience with the baja rey and if its as bad as the UDR to work on? I've been eye balling them.
They should really put sensored systems in these after all they are scale. If Red cat can there really no excuse. Yeah I bought the super Baja Rey when these first dropped snd my Nieghbor bought your exact UDR.
-I was a little put back that the traxxas looked far more detailed but his broke stupid shit. Bent links drive shaft rear servo for really no reason an axial WB8 hd shaft would have lived better and the SBR was better to work on for the similar prices. I think there too fast the UDR. So no I’m happy with the purchase. It’s still a nice looking rig and I would choose to drive the UDR slower and more scale.
-like your guys reviewing thank you very much and God bless.
I got a UDR a couple months ago and love it! I have no problem undoing a couple more screws than usual. No hate, just sharing my opinion.
Nothing like the UDR.💪💪
This video make me not even want to buy one anymore lol Thanks for the info
Glad I could help
@@10thScaleGarage I ended up picking up a Losi Promoto MX and it's so much fun 😆 cheers brother
One of my favorite RC’s!
BUT - I’m gentle with it. So not want to work on it. 😂
Ya guys drunk nothing like the UDR.💪💪
If you want something similar for like a quarter of the price check out the kyosho outlaw rampage pro
I’m pretty sure that’s 10th scale.
It's 1/10 but it's very scale for the price being about £250 for a brand new rolling chassis
I guess you guys didn't get the memo, everything is serviced from the bottom. Pull the bottom skid. The UDR is one of my favorite all time RCs
It's not for the beginner or those without power tools.
eBay has blue 35kg servos, $26.99 for 2
ill be adding lights but no way ill fork out 100+ thats the cost a real truck parts truck looks great guys
Traxxas tax
@@10thScaleGarage 148mm like 5.5 inch led 11 buck on ebay whos knows might be ok
Know what I really hate about it? The money I dont have for it :")
Same.
You need an electric screwdriver man! Lmao
well it drives better with the enhancement of your favorite beverage and i don't mean dr pepper., has to be over a certain percentage of smiles 5.4 n up so its much easier to say fk it. get home throw it in the corner and fix it months later. UDR unregulated driving required. was not my best purchase either , but i found a buyer on ebay. it was a win win relief
I.m working on a building a rc car for the winter
I bought a multicolour multifinction transmitter controlled 100mm led bar for my Muraco for £4 delivered. $150 for the set is just nonsense
Right? Traxxas tax.
I’ve seen the videos, it’s made it to my dream RC, should I consider selling my slash ultimate 4s for a udr?
Hmmm. You’ll probably miss the durability of the slash.
Hey I mean I’ll take it if you don’t want it I’ll come pick it up
You gonna up set the fanbois 😂
Too late.
lol Almost let the Vice Grip Garage slip out with 'hook your peepers on'
Haha. I wore my 10th Scale Garage shirt at Cleetus and Cars Indy, and Derek said, “nice shirt.” In my head that meant that he watches my channel, but in reality I bet he doesn’t. Haha.
@@10thScaleGarage It's one of those things that even if he does, I don't think he'd every say. lol I didn't get to make it to Indy but the Bristol show was pretty amazing.
Love the body, but the flag stickers are backwards and it's all I can see now lol
Ugh I know, we honestly didn't even notice until after we shot the video. It will get fixed
I had 2 of them and enjoyed them.
Buy a Losi and then complain.
Ok guys please stop with the complaints the car is not a basher and is meant for scale driving and detail don’t buy expecting to bash it and not break it is really ignorant and as far as service its built like a real trophy truck ao ofc its a little more difficult😤
Did I say anything about bashing it?
Sorry this was not torward the vid it was let the comments know cause i have seen people say they were just driving like any other car or wtv but it a completely different machine sorry for the misunderstanding hope this clears things up
@@YourAverageMTBerlol no worries
Well it aint for jumping, if you doesn't desteoy it and drive how it is supposed to be driven you good to go
