    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

      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.

    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!!!

  • @SebastianLong
    @SebastianLong 3 роки тому

    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.

    My biggest complaint is the center transmission. It gets hot faster than the motor and will melt the plastic casing. Considering some of it is enclosed Traxxas should’ve used fluid in the planarity. I’ve had it upside down and had the bottom cover removed to see what gets hotter- motor or center transmission. In two minutes a person can feel the heat building up in the transmission before the motor.
