that's the fun and excitement of buying and playing RC is to run it and if it break your mind will be busy working instead of just seating and doing nothing, so let's all have fun RC ing and be happy.
I’ve come to love my UDR… I bought it used and it was a complete mess but after 6 months of upgrades and learning the truck it is now one of my favorite trucks to drive and work on! It’s a lot to get used to but if you can buy a used one I recommend that considering I’ve put more money in to it then the retail price is
I love my UDR. I dont treat it like a basher XRT or XMaxx though. I run it at the beach. I also have upgraded my UDR to Vitavon. All I do is normal maintenance.
Ive never had to wrench on a UDR, but after watching this, it appears to be alot like working on my SBR 2.0 😂. Its my favorite truck, but man i hate working on it. Fortunatly ive added some strategic Vitavon upgrades and it rarely ever breaks anymore. The last repair was replacing the stock Spektrum electronics with a Hobbywing system and a 5th scale servo. Im assuming once you've done the proper upgrades to your UDR, you wont have to work on yours very often either. The SBR has more screws to take the body off btw...😂
If you like the UDR style vehicles you should look at the Kraken Vekta.5, you can get it brushless also with the Max4 ESC and 70125 motor. Pretty tough box stock, check out thunder rc vids of it, and a few select mods make it almost indestructible like alloy front diff housing and steering parts. It's super easy to work on also and after you mod the UDR to survive you are over halfway to a brushless Vekta.5.
Love my UDR, hate working on it. That front shaft is a known issue since the truck came out, and Traxxas absolutely sucks for still shipping them like this years later. Mine stripped on the 3rd pack.
I leave the drivers out on mine for better air flow to the electronics and easier to work on in the future. I’d snag some steel hex sooner than later as well 👍🏻
Bummer it broke, brother. But it happens no matter what type of RC car you own or drive. I have some RC cars I hate wrenching on as well. Makes me super gun shy when I drive those, so I don’t get stuck wrenching on them 😂 Great video man. Keep up the awesome content. 👊🏼
Reminds me of my SBR 2.0, a joy to drive and show people but damn so many nuts and bolts and everything was so expensive 😂 large scale problems Anyways can anyone clue me into common issues with these trucks and in your experience would it make more sense to buy one already upgraded or just run it stock?
Sorry Mark, to see you struggling with this, but, i'll stay with my Arrma Mojave 6S. I just installed the Mojave red EXB diff cases, front and back and it took about an hour, my mission is completed. 😎
Mate, i love the look of the UDR but damn they are just stupid to work on, I have the 1/10 losi BajaRey V1 and I dread having to work on it, again I love how it looks and performs but damn it's just a pure headache to work on. That's why I think I'm just a massive Mojave fan. Great vid too mate👍👍👍
Unfortunately BOTH of my rc box club drivers have broke. The 2mm ball driver literally just snapped off so that ones done and then the 1.5mm driver just rounded off so bad it's unusable for anything anymore sad days. Just sucks bc they are like $12 a piece. Not super expensive but still for 2 drivers more than I paid for a entire set on amazon which have done me well so far
@MarkSantaMaria i didnt get new ones yet. The mip bits i tbh just can't afford atm. And I just can't see myself paying that much for bits. Just unfortunate timing I guess and it sucks
I love my UDR even tho it is a pain in the ass to work on it 😂😂😂😂 but isn’t that the reason why the people who own one love it? The realism of it 😩😩😩😩😩
Hello Everyone. Mark put out a video saying Traxxas put out a cell checker for the trx4m battiers. does anyone know the part number for that? Please and Thankyou

That's a damn good point !!!! I just had an epiphany by what you just said and see it differently now. Thank you !!!! 🙂
And THAT'S why I will NEVER have a UDR. Everything else from Traxxas is easy to work on. Thanks for taking that bullet Mark! 🤣

so looks like it's more complex to work on than a Erevo 2.0? I Love driving that thing
@ Yes it is and ironically I traded my Erevo 2.0 for the UDR

When I got back into RC a few years back, I was tossing up between the Xmaxx and the UDR. Glad I went with the Xmaxx😂!?!
Love my UDR yes it’s a lot more work than most rc but it’s an experience and driving it is awesome everyone loves it when I take it out
Pump as much grease as you can in the rear axle housing. It’ll keep the sand out and the rear axle cool

The UDR is long over due for an update.
Oh man, I could feel the frustration !
It's worth all the work the UDR not a better example of a real Trophy Truck ! 😀 Keep the faith Mark! Love You love your show!
I also did the traxxas metal front drive shaft, but as soon as i got out the box, and it was a pain
i love these wrenching videos you should do more, it also shows the true fun of rc lol
Now I see why all of my local hobby shops always have those in stock and they all say they are a pain to work on
UDR is Awesome 💯
Love my UDR, hate working on it. That front shaft is a known issue since the truck came out, and Traxxas absolutely sucks for still shipping them like this years later. Mine stripped on the 3rd pack.
No thanks. I always look for products that are at least a little more easy to work on!
Great job Mark!
Merry Christmas
This video makes a good case for getting a slash and not a UDR.
Maxx slash
I feel your pain having little time to even play with my collection let alone fix them myself
Yes i agree with you . I love driving mine but hate working on it lol.
Glad I got the Mojave instead!
Next time it breaks, just do a giveaway
😂😂😂😂😂
I feel the same about working on my Capras!
I leave the drivers out on mine for better air flow to the electronics and easier to work on in the future. I’d snag some steel hex sooner than later as well 👍🏻
Mark with the headlamp on gets an automatic click
You can reach the front set screw also through the arms without taking apart the entire front end
Put the head lamp in RC Box Hahaha!
Approaching nitro levels of wrenching frustration...
😊

Yeah, any of those skilled r c trucks, including my super baja takes more wrenching, patience definitely will win lol
Bro this is silly. Just chuck the parts at it and yell “BOOM!!” I see Talbot do it all the time. Works great.
Your missin out on the us open fuel champs dudeeee

Did you get the new ones? MIP?

I suddenly no longer want a UDR lol
Everything on the UDR is a commonly fragile and easily broken part. It's a great truck unless you want to drive it.
Nope. No. Never. At this point I would've stripped it down for parts and never mentioned it again
I feel like the Losi Baja rey 2.0 is a much better truck
Why wouldn't you just upgrade it while tearing it apart to repair? Since that driveshaft is so weak.
Very reason I won't own one
I know why I don´t own a UDR!!!
This is how i do it. ruclips.net/video/9HzmM-EzCq8/видео.htmlfeature=shared
