I cant film myself either. Found a great park close by and a awesome jump for my Xmaxx. One of these days I will figure out how to film. The images I have in my head are my de stress zone! Thanks for the videos!
Love the videos as they are. Trying to record all the action and drive is difficult. I've tried a few times. What an amazing machine and now I want one.
2nd shock piston without spring behind the original on both sides makes the rear handling a lot smoother... less traction rolls and no donkey kickups on jumps or bumps... awesome truck!
I appreciate the fact that you're still willing to come out when it's bitterly cold out! Beyond the fact that parts break easier, it's super uncomfortable out there, so I appreciate it! I don't mind the tripod shots at all, God knows I can't drive one handed. Your selection of background music on these shots is great!
Day after X-mas, and I finally got to run mine, first tried on 6s 75c, and then on 8s 120c (was an absolute blast). But after some of the mixed surface running that I did, it feels like it would benefit from lower frequency springs for the front (I like how I got my Yeti XL to run, and it looks like it uses the same springs so I can test this out by borrowing those to see if it makes a difference, also I'm looking to make a skid plate to put under the spare tires. So far, all I've done was add in a receiver switch for the lights so I can power them on and off through the radio, reinforced the body, wire loomed all of the wires for the lights and cleaned up how they are routed around, added window netting, and made adapters to run the batteries that I already have. On dirt this might be my new favorite truck.
Great video Mike! Can't wait to see ya set the world record for the X-Maxx!!! Just a thought for those that might also want to lock their diffs... It probably depends on what surface you're running on. For example, dirt and sand (loose conditions) is probably best for a "locked diff" (aka spool) like Mike Vaters wants to do. This gives it equal traction to the wheels and is what the competition trucks use for desert racing. But I see many running on grass (medium traction surface) and asphalt (high traction surface) so wouldn't you want to keep your SBR 2.0 the way it is (open diff)? Then again, the Traxxas UDR comes with a locked/spool diff and some replace the spool for an open diff to prevent rollovers. So again, this all might depend on what you're running it on. I would like to hear other people's thoughts on this...
Awesome video, had one of my X-Maxxs out today, -5c here in Sault Ste Marie Ontario Canada 🇨🇦. About 6" of snow , was a blast. Trying to get a good 1/4 mile time in the snow for X-Maxx speed freaks standings.
Question on the DX5C controller, does it tell you the battery level of the Lipo's in the truck if they are spektrum smart batteries? Also, is that really your favorite RC car? Just curious. It's definitely sweet, no doubt.
By the way filming is spot on👍 I can't do it either I run in to every thing even with my crawlers 🤦♂️ I'm kind of jalus that you have snow in Denmark we have nothing but rain it's been 10 years since we had reel snow like can't go out doors snow 🦌🚜
You had a video a good while back where you had the 🎥 in the trees. The tri pod stuff works was a good video. Just thinking like different height angles gives a good look on how big it is to.
Nice nice . Can’t wait to open mine up Christmas Day .. been a 5th scale 2 stroke nut for too long .. let’s see what this battery 🔋 power is all about !! . Nice vid mate . Simply simply lovely ☺️!!
Love your stuff Mikey. I have just bought the yellow Brenthell Sueper Rock Rey, love it! I also have its little brother, mainly due to your channel. If my wife finds out, I'll be homeless. Can I move into your basement? All good, I'm pretty sneaky. I'm up to 47 RC's now, so I have plenty to keep me busy in my retirement. Love your content, will have to shoe goo the bodies, they are already cracking up, cheers brother!
Good videos. I live in ottawa and yes its damn cold!! I took my xmaxx out last weekend and broke it in 5 minutes when I took a jump and landed wrong. Another rear bumper mount.
This rc looks amazing!! Oh and if you need any idea, ever eard of formula offroad? You should try an rc build specific for that kind of " sport ". I never really seen anybody doing that but it should look awesome!
@@V2Vids that would be LIT! yeah where to start, those things are pretty unique. they look like the frame are based on crawlers but with the shoks set up of a short cours ,the body of a buggy and the power system of a monster truck!! if you ever start a build, ill be following up close for sure! :D
Lol mines totally messed up, scratched and scuffed the he'll outta the body, some places are cracked, totally broke the front bumper and said plate off my front light isn't working, and the esc casing completely cracked so the esc is loose now. Drive it harder mate!
Feel ya on the artic gear. It was 39* F here in PHX. 😁😜 Anyways, that SBR 2.0 is the business. Not that I really need another RC, but I do want a larger scale one.
First time watching one of your videos. I have the Brenthel one. I cracked it up pretty bad. Waiting for months for my bumper to get off back order. Should come off 1/21 the site posted. Anywho good video I hit the subscribe button to check out future videos. Thanks again.
Great footage! I was hoping to get your opinion on this truck as well as a few others that you may have experience with. I currently have 2 RCs, an E-Revo 2.0 and a UDR, both stock running on 6S. I don't have a lot of money to spend on RC but am pretty happy with the two I have, although have always had my eye on an X-Maxx. Now that this SBR 2.0 is out, I really like the look of this as well. My thought is...do I sell both of my trucks to get a new X-Maxx or SBR 2.0, or do I just keep what I have? I do kind of want just one ultimate do-it-all vehicle but it's nice having at least 2 as well (I wish I had your collection!). Is this truck (or an X-Maxx) worth selling my current 2 for? What's your thoughts on X-Maxx vs SBR 2.0 as well, what do you have more fun with and why? Thanks in advance!!
Tripod shots dont bother me but you could aways stick a gopro on your head then that way you don't need to concentrate on moving the camera with your hands instead your head will naturally face your subject. Great video anyway 👍🏽 and love that losi sbr
IM trying to decide between the RC Vehicles. Super Baja Rey 2.0, DBXL-E 2.0 or a X-Maxx. What would you recommend. I see Kevin Talbot says the X-Maxx is his fav.
I wonder if u can run this thing just on RWD.. I know less traction, but I remember old tamiya days, the 4wd chassis if u get rid of the drives haft the things drove much faster. And I was thinking about more scalish driving.. My Hpi Baja is also just RWD and it drives ok, just a littel bit oversteer.. And was thinking maybe it just don't roll that much then?
I’ve only seen this car on youtube, but it seems to have a bit more mechanical noise from the drivetrain than the traxxas UDR. Is this correct, like it has more of a grinding sound compared to the traxxas?
Where do you get light bars like that? I'm trying to come up with a build plan for a 1/6 FPV Baja truck. and I wanna be able to run it at night so I need lights!
Let me know if you need a set of roof sliders/body protectors for your SBR 2.0. Keep your body looking like brand new, I think we have a few mutual friends Trey and Blake Myers.
Nice truck im a noob at all this though ive got a question about c ratings if thats ok so ive got a 60a esc is it ok to pair it with a 5400mah 50c 2s lipo without melting or blowing anything up the motor is a 3600kv
Well, how bout some car cam shots? Go pro? Or something better?😂 but yeah, some jumps with one on back of the rc so we can just see the top of the cab and hood or something. Maybe a few back view shots? Just a thought. Oh, those shots where you almost smoke the camera, 👌, so more of those. Lol. METAL ON MIKE!!🤘🏻👊🏻🤘🏻✌🏻
I honestly feel u should have so many more followers u make great content and was a romantic Atwood's house a couple years ago yes I ve been watching you since then and honestly dont know how u dident rlly gain fam from him which is good tho because your doing everything yourself keep it up🙏💯
I really prefer this to the V1, I think it was a half hearted attempt at scale look's. I bought one made in conjunction with King Motor and 30degree's North Super Desert Truck pretty much like the V2, but the V2 takes it one step further so now I am selling my TRAXXAS UDR to help fund the purchase of one of these. Great video content love your choice of vehicles, I am still not sure I want to get the Super Rock Rey as I am more a truck guy. Have you thought of getting any 5th scale gas vehicles I have ten eight running three buggies the rest are truck's my LOSI 5ive-T has a 40cc engine my two Krakens KV5TT and VEKTA-5 have 50cc my HPI 5SC has a 38cc engine. Man i ish I had the area you have I would have built a big track big enough to have 5th scale races with friends and family. Really looking forward to the lake speed runs, keep them coming.
@@V2Vids Have a look at the Kraken-RC KV5TT Trophy Truck I have the U4 buggy also with RC MAX 50cc engines. I think you would really like the KV5TT because it is a 5th scale gas version of the Super Baja Rey comes with a 29cc,kit, or a Roller choose the roller put your engine of choice and electrics, I love my LOSI 5ive-T but the Kraken is so much more realistic to drive I have the clone SBR and both the KV5TT and the SDT drive the same realistic and a completely different way of driving more like a 1-1 than anything else out there
Would you recommend using a stiffer shock? I noticed that pretty much everytime it landed from a jump it bottomed out. I realize when you filmed it was pretty damn cold but just curious. Good video man
Don't sing in every video from now on!😉😂 Nice video. Can't wait to see the frozen lake runs! Great job. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Love how realistic it looks. At times it seems like I am watching footage of a real full size truck.
haha love the trolling the digger! SBR is a beast glad you like it
haha, Thanks Kev! This truck is amazing!
I have th UDR and it rolls over easily, is SBR better in handling?
@@icrc1346 yeh man much more stable but still rolls sometimes.
Hey kev didn't you break the front light bar on your truck
V2 vids : Oh noo i scratched the body!
Kev : Well we bent this one but we still have the xmaxx!

These are no1 on my gotta have rc car list. Look so cool in motion, especially in slow mo. 😍
Dude the purple lighting theme is so sick!!
I think your video's are awsome! You inspire me to get back into rc's.
Great run! More than happy with the tripod shots.
You’re shop is awesome!!!!! Great video
I agree with you about the locked rear diff
Awesome video, had one of my X-Maxxs out today, -5c here in Sault Ste Marie Ontario Canada 🇨🇦. About 6" of snow , was a blast. Trying to get a good 1/4 mile time in the snow for X-Maxx speed freaks standings.
I love that it is so realistic and it absolutely rips I've gotta start saving up it's hard with 2 teenage girls though let me tell ya lol 🔥👍✌️
boy does it even look cold! love the truck
Cool bro love what losi did to captured a whole Baja look
Been debating whether to grab the SBR 2.0 or the UDR. This video definitely is making me lean towards the SBR 2.0 lol. Awesome video man 🤘🏼
Really digging the lights on it 👍
Question on the DX5C controller, does it tell you the battery level of the Lipo's in the truck if they are spektrum smart batteries? Also, is that really your favorite RC car? Just curious. It's definitely sweet, no doubt.
Literally looks just like a truck that Robby Gordon runs for his SST series, and yet they get Traxxas sponsorship. This is one wicked piece.
Awesome video man and truck 😊 love the slow motion shots 👍
Great video as always! Hit the dingy for Dave!
Great video
I saw you look away just before the second roll
Have you tried making studded tires using self tapping screws through the tires? That would be sweet out on the ice.
Stay tuned!
In my opinion that is the best trophy body out there right now. Looks killer bud
True, the cold even trashed my slash right in this moment -10 celsius😅
Damn can feel with you when crashing such a nice toy for the first time!! Go one, again a nice vid!!!

Can you please come to Miami when the show is
Had to hit the like button just for shooting the towel out the back.
Appreciate you bearing the cold to make the video. I'm in Florida and its about 70° lol
Love the diggers in the background! \m/
Nice nice . Can’t wait to open mine up Christmas Day .. been a 5th scale 2 stroke nut for too long .. let’s see what this battery 🔋 power is all about !! . Nice vid mate . Simply simply lovely ☺️!!
Well I think you are doing a fine job keep up the good work
Yeah I was set on getting an xmaxx till I seen this come out. A huge short course, desert racer I guess haha, truck would be a lot of fun.
Less ground clearance for bashing though.
@@memorexkiller I certainly keep that in mind. Plus I live in an area where snow is inevitable. Haha.
Truck loves the jumps
Subscribed! Thanks for braving those crazy temps for us!
I like horizon hobby spektrum products ever since I started the hobby! Great company! 👍
Oh did you do the body project yet. The one that's to make it strong to protect from damages?
Cold there about 65 here n California great video man
awesome vid man....well at least you got the first couple of crashes out of the way and didnt break anything
Nope, ship shape.
@@V2Vids im sure with the new stuff takes it awhile for them to get parts out for them

It’s getting icy out here in the U.K. might have to lock that rear diff and see how it goes! Thanks for the tip! 👍
yeh man think im gonna lock mine
Keep up the great videos. I'd rather a still shot then a shakey shot.
Really like this truck can't go wrong with the price and upgraded parts just add powerful batteries with charger it's a win win situation 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
Now that it has been scratched and broken in, time to let Danger Dave take it for a spin.
Nice action with the Super Baja Rey
SBR has very short front suspention travel. Rear looking good. But front doesn`t look scale, it more short course style. UDR looking more shale.
That truck looks better with the stickers off trust me 🤜🏻🤛🏻
This rc looks amazing!! Oh and if you need any idea, ever eard of formula offroad? You should try an rc build specific for that kind of " sport ". I never really seen anybody doing that but it should look awesome!
I've always loved formula off road. Not even joking, I was debating building one soon. just not sure which platform to use.

5 Degrees Farenheit.That's like 2000 Degrees Celsius right?
U should build a jump in the ditch to jump over your driveway and land on the other side like a road gap
I thought the LOSI LMT was your favourite?? 😊
Man it's a tough call. They are two different vehicles.
How can you pic just 1 😂
The LMT is definitely my favorite and I haven't even got mine yet😂
You should do studded rc tires on ice
Take the diff out take the oil out then mix some oil with blue-tac works a treat did the centre diff on my 5t worked a treat lol cheap fix
More Losi Plz
Tripod shots dont bother me but you could aways stick a gopro on your head then that way you don't need to concentrate on moving the camera with your hands instead your head will naturally face your subject. Great video anyway 👍🏽 and love that losi sbr
Looks like you need to dial up the braking on the esc!
Awesome video man, I don't see anything wrong with them love your choice in music too.

Possibly on the lake. I drive through a lot of trees while filming.
Cool truck!
