He's right, I've owned the truck for a year, it rolled a lot! I feel Traxxas could have done better with the handling instead of making it look so scale...
And the funny thing about this is as people are saying I was trying to make the UDR handle bad. Somebody even tried to reference a video I did several months ago. What they don't realize the video I shot several months ago was on 4S lipo it was not on 6s. There's a huge difference in handling between the 4S in the 6s with the UDR. If I had ran it on 4S in this comparisons people would have complained about that so when it boils down to it no matter what I did people would have found a way to complain about it.
Yep you're right the UDR is design more for scale and the Mojave is not. I believe several people have even mentioned itand even the president of arrma had mentioned it. But for straight out running and bashing like we run our RC cars full independent suspension and open difts make a night and day difference.
I own the UDR and I think you were very fair on how you judged it. I have sunk a bunch of money in this truck to get the weight low and it is still a wild ride. I also just bought the new orange Xmaxx 8s and it is the truck i wish the UDR was . Thanks and good job on the video
Arrma seems to have it's sights locked in on Traxxas and is bringing it to them. Maybe Arrma is becoming to Traxxas as Kawhi Leonard is to LeBron James. "I'm not comin' to play wit ya...man, I'm comin' to get ya!" Boooooom! Now I've never owned anything Arrma but if I had to choose between this and the UDR, the Mojave looks to be the winner so far. Btw...I'm a Traxxas fan, especially for their GREAT customer service. For what it's worth...I have an X-Maxx and LOVE IT!!!
Important to note that the Mojave os a LOT easier to work on (4 body clips to take the body off vs a ton of screws on the UDR,waaaay easier access to diffs,transmission,etc)
I wanted a realistic handling and looking trophy truck, so I went with the UDR. I don't go out and drive R/C's everyday, I don't have a bunch of them in my garage (only the UDR). I wanted something to work on at home with a beer, painting all the smaller bits and pieces while upgrading some of the suspension components- as well as something to go out and bash on. However, I also wanted a truck that when I take the body off and put some 1/10th jack stands under it and people look at it, they're seeing a near perfect representation of what a real trophy truck looks like. Rotors, calipers, tubular frame, radiator, limiting strap, etc. That's part of the fun for me, so that's why I chose the UDR. You can say that Mojave is a faster truck or a better handling truck, true- but you can't say it's a trophy truck (maybe "it has a trophy truck body"), or you can't say it's more realistic truck since it's running a unibody w/ independent suspension. Apples to oranges for real- but objectively, one isn't 100% better than the other. Ask a real trophy truck to do 150 mph in a terrain like grass, but scale it up 30%, then have them do a hard left/right turn and see what happens. Yes- it's an RC truck, but it's also striving to be something more- and it shouldn't be penalized for that.
I just bought a Mojave EXB the other day. Put it together this morning and watching this video waiting for batteries to charge. Both look like very nice trucks!
Good detailed video J. I would think this is the biggest competition for the Mojave. Good job comparing these on a like surface and demonstrating the difference in the handling.
UDR looks more realistic but it’s so fragile and clumsy compared to the Mojave. I would have gotten the UDR but now the Mojave is out. I’d rather get that instead 😁
@@LorenzoTheFisherman mojave can take alot more. Check out rc dude 81 he jumps those arrmas 60 feet in the air at 60mph and lands on cement all day even landing on its nose and somehow doesn't break. Im impressed but usually when steel breaks its more expensive to fix over the cheaper plastic stuff
The mojave is junk compared to traxxas my son has broke his way more than I've broke my slash doing the same jumps. And you can buy traxxas parts and upgrades anywhere. Try finding arrma parts there all backordered been waiting 2 months for rear diff housing still backordered. From my experience buy traxxas and upgrade then play. Buy arrma let it sit in pieces and watch everyone else play. The mojave is twice as heavy thats why doesn't roll as easy.
Interesting. Agreed the udr rolls a lot on short grass. ( I had one and was amazed by how bad it roll’d) it is a relatively narrow/ scale car though. In dirt or slicker surfaces it handles much more predictably. Looking at the arrma. It’s no doubt much less twitchy than the udr with it’s independent suspension and cd/ open diffs. ( as you would expect) I do personally think the 2 cars although in ways similar are very different. Someone after a scale , fast desert truck won’t b fooled by just a body and will want the udr. Pure bashers that like the sct look will want the arrma.
RC-OLOGIST Yet he said he would rather have a Mojave. Don’t get triggered when someone would rather have something else. Plenty of videos btw showing how unstable and fragile the Udr is
JayTee while watching this video I learned that we seem to think alike when it comes to the hobby. The UDR is the most pleasing to the eye. The Mojave is the most pleasing to drive. I have owned both the UDR and Super Baja Rey for quite a while. Both have issues with handling but still I like both. I even have a 5ive T I converted to electric. The Mojave will definitely be in my collection! Thank you for the great videos and honest review. 🤘👍
Another great vid mate. Comparing 2 similar cars. Really looks like arrma are gunning for traxxas in every area and vice versa. ( hopefully this will mean an arrma Xmaxx competitor soon!) 👍
If anyone is so worried about the rolling, take off the damn spare tires. Lol. I've honestly never rolled mine as much as this one video. It rolls, but grass is the UDRs nemesis. In dirt and gravel I've actually only rolled it once or twice. Solid axle, regardless of make, requires a lot more skill to drive. The Mojave is independent suspension all the way around. Never seen a desert truck built that way. I've got a Losi Super Rock Rey built the same way and it rolls as well. Solid axle, but not locked. The SRR is a lot faster obviously on 8s and also requires some effort to drive. The Mojave suspension is more comparable to a Slash, or any independent suspension platform. The absolute only thing the Mojave and the UDR have in common is the ability to run on 6s.
Lane Waite And the only thing the Kraton 8s and Xmaxx have in common is the 8s capacity and yet they are constantly being compared. 9 out of 10 people will see the bodies on both these trucks and decide that way. Btw, the Maxx has terrible stability issues as well as the Udr.
Thank you , great video , you’ve made my mind up it’s the Mojave for me main for it stability in the cornering, I’m disabled so running across a field to flip a car back on its wheels I a big problem for me so thank you , you have helped me massively, stay safe mate ...
Have had three UDR but I can easily say the Mojave is the superior. The UDR is more scale especially in the chassis design but its live axle rear suspension doesn't handle as well as the Mojave with its fully independent suspension. The UDR does flip over and cartwheel way too much and its chassis and other components are too fragile and don't get me started on the ridiculously weak tail shaft.. Across the three UDR I had in the 12 months I must have gone through 30 tail shafts which aren't cheap either. The Arrma Mojave in many ways is a simpler layout design but its definitely far more durable. Now owning the Mojave I kinda have a lot of regrets spending so much money on the UDR especially when my brand new 2nd one broke its tailshaft in less than 5 minutes of its first run and that was running on 4S.. 6S is too much for the drive line to cope with.
GaFFLe - Because he tried to turn a scale vehicle into a complete basher. Use the vehicles for the purposes for which they were intended and you won’t have those issues.
I just purchased a Mojave. It was between that and the UDR. Guys at the hobby shop said if I were to get the UDR, I'd end up dumping over $300 into upgrades getting it to perform like the Mojave. I love my Mojave! It's a wicked machine! Tough as nails! Very good and fair side by side review.
Awesome run on these two good to see them side by side Mojave is a beast for sure can't wait to get rippin on one very nice happy bashing my brotha👍👍🤙😎🤪😜😝🙈🙉🙊👊✌
I got the Mojave EXB and put the Mojave RTR Spektrum system in it. Its fast as hell and you're right, It takes a lot to make it roll. I didn't think I would like this truck as much as my Kraton and Typhon. It's a really fun to drive and is way more stable that I ever anticipated it would be. Good video.
I had both but i sold the udr because i just liked the Mojave more , it seems to me more stable and i just enjoy driving it more , both were stock , enjoying your videos mate .
UDR does look cool, my buddy does Traxxas, so I go with Arrma and other manufactures and have no complaints. I'll spend real money for that elusive "bullet proof" RC
I therefore conclude that UDR is just a roller.. it literally rolls each turn! The UDR is a scale runner. It has a scale look and scale suspension. But the speed is not scale lol. The ideal scale speed of 1/7 is 20km/h.
Exactly. Imagine going 600mph (1/10 scale 60mph) in a trophy truck. Nothing about that is scale. The way I see it, one of these is a good time, and the other one is a disappointing amount of labor to roll around a field very "scale" like.
I have the Losi Bay Rey 1/10 scale. I thought to lock the rear diff. Decided not to. Have you tried taking the lock diff out? Love the content! Keep it up Jay Tee!!!
I have the udr and also the Losi Baja Rey. The udr handles ok but yeah it flips, pretty tough and lots of parts. Losi is more stable and its avc seems better, tho doesn’t like to jump big as well as the udr. Of course the Losi has that darn garbage servo, and diff leaks a bit - typical Losi. Both are a pain to work on. This arrma is on my order list now, good vid, thanks!
I still can’t decide if I like that green or red body better haha. Definitely picking up a Mojave come spring time. I’m looking at about 5 to 6 months of winter weather after October so that gives me $849 Canadian \ 6 = about $140 a month to set aside to buy the truck haha. Will be fairly easy and allow me to set it aside just for that. Thought I’d share that math haha.
yo have you look in to a dust cover yet the Mojave is one big dirt collector I know dusty motors has a Universal Adjustable Protection Cover I was thinking about trying it
Old video , but figured I'd throw this out there , as the owner of 2 Mojaves , just picked up the SBR 2.0 , you want to talk about a flipping over machine !!! I was on the edge of getting the UDR , kinda wish I did now , but to late . I will be getting a UDR next , love the scale look , and the drive with the rear action !!! Watching vids of the UDR on dirt , it looks like it performs great !!!
That solid rear axle that’s locked makes it roll easy my udr acts the same way roll happy takes skill not to roll all the time they all have there own style of fun I’d buy another udr love the scale look 👀 the arrma I’m not sure I need one yet I’ll have to see the baby xmax or max 4s got to get that one for sure this one I’m up in the air about it
Earl Moorhead I just can’t get over how good the UDR looks. Funny thing is I’m usually more about functionality than looks, but I’d prob buy the UDR knowing it will break easier and handle worse just because of the realism it offers. On the other hand I just bought an Arrma Talion today. Can’t wait to drive it.
tracym427 if you like the udr you have to run the Mojave! I love the look of the udr as well but driving the Mojave wow great truck I was surprised on how simple it looks
DAMN i am truly impressed with the Mojave. I own the UDR and unfortunately I've had quite a few issues with it. Body Roll, Flipping over, Parts breaking and stripping, Gears getting ripped to shreds, TSM screwing up... The Mojave is hands down just such a better truck....wow.......Doesn't roll and extremely fast.....AMAZING!
@@aaronsoto4622 they are also famous for outrageous prices, broken expensive parts, difficulty to maintain, and dropping a lawsuit on their competition. Oh... and tumbling over EVERY TURN. Ingenuity and Ready to run platform??? LOL that sounds absolutely ridiculous.. It's an RC car, all of the big names are famous for ingenuity, and frankly after watching this truck in motion I'm much less confident in this "ingenuity". Throwing in a junk nimh battery and a scrap charger is that what gives them the edge? Most people prefer to go lipo anyways, and balance the batteries on their own charger. 1 month ago you said (in your own words) "the Mojave is hands down just such a better truck....wow." Im thinking it's safe to say Arrma is ONE reason so many traxxas owners are crossing over... I know Traxxas is feeling it, they had to drop a lawsuit on the competition. 🤷🏽♂️ To each his own with these things.. but the proof is in the pudding. Shelf queen vs. Desert King. 😎 Dont hate appreciate. 😁
@@MotorMenaceFPV I agree with a few things. Breaking yes. As far as "looks" go UDR is such a better looking vehicle. I answered your question specifically. Facts are Traxxas still is the biggest RC retailer in the world. So obviously they would have more used for sale.
@@aaronsoto4622 exceptional response! I can appreciate that answer. More traxxas vehicles circulating in general. 👍 its awesome when people can have conversations like this without getting heated. I brought it up because I sold my traxxas online to get an Arrma, but the prices were super low on a few and it made it hard to get what I felt mine was worth. 😕 Either way, I've never touched an RC I didn't enjoy!! 👍
Im not an Arrma fanboy and I own a UDR. The UDR only looks better standing still. It's fragile and takes a gentle touch to keep on its tires. I want that Mojave.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
Im so happy you did this comparison... I can't make my mind up on What one i want. I dont bash my rigs that hard and really want a udr because of the scale and solid rear. But im a arrma fan not that big of a traxxas fan but man does that udr look good...
I’m not a Traxxas fan, never have been but I love my UDR. It did roll quite a bit out of the box. I’ve only run it on 6S, and with a few minor tweaks to the shock preload, it handles much better than stock. I can do nearly full throttle drifts around corners, on pavement, with the TSM turned down to about the 8 o’clock position on the dial. I did change the centre diff fluid to 50k which helped quite a bit with handling on high traction surfaces. As for durability, I can’t complain about it. I think part of the problem is that people mash the throttle from a dead stop on high-bite surfaces rather than rolling forward slightly before hammering the throttle. One time I hit a rock the size of a small bowling ball/softball at full speed. It dislodged the rock and sent it flying about two feet off the dirt trail. I thought that the UDR was going to have parts dangling from it when I ran up to it, but to my surprise, nothing broke. Try turning the TSM down or off on high bite surface, and letting off the throttle when approaching a turn, then turn and hammer the throttle to drift out of the turn and you’ll roll less often. The Arma is built on a pan chassis with 4 wheel independent suspension so it should handle better, but it doesn’t mimic a true desert truck like the UDR. I guess it all depends what you want from your RC when deciding between the two. I just really like how Traxxas designed the UDR to look and drive like a real desert racer hence why I bought one( after saying I’d never own a Traxxas for years😂..made me eat my own words ). Good comparison video indeed!
Fantastic comparison, you are on point all around. Traxxas looks more scale, Arrma drives better. One thing, though, Arrma is starting to creep up in price, which is making Traxxas not seem so crazy anymore. Arrma has to be careful - yes it handles better because it's based on a car, basically, but the body isn't as detailed and the radio is terrible compared to what Traxxas provides. Be honest - is the Mojave 6S the equal in terms of features and innovation of the Nero, which used to cost $600? That seems like a bargain today!
A great fair review of both trucks , I own a UDR myself and to be honest I’m disappointed in it , it has all the upgrades and still rolls often , I’ve learned also that the UDR is better on 4s than on 6s , that new arrma is a much more stable bit of kit
I tried to tell ppl that on 4s the udr is good and that is usually how I run it but if I ran it on 4s here ppl would have complained about that. Thanks for commenting!!!
Jay Tee I wonder if you swapped for the open diffs for the Udr? I did it on mine, and handleing was night and day after that. It's an easy and cheap upgrade. Nice vid, keep up, Cheers mate !
UDR is a trophy truck. Looks good sitting on your shelf, all shiny & clean. Definitely looks better (especially the red/black body) But if you wanna get out, run & go thru the paces the MOJAVE is the better basher for the buck. Not to mention more stable & durable.... Now I wonder if I can get a red/black UDR type body to fit on the ARRMA? 🤫😉
UDR for easy driving chill on throttle super real look. Mojave large shortcourse truck. For speed run n hard course Simply design asking for similar price -50.
Great comparison my friend! And yes the struggle is real I own the UDR also I still don’t understand why they locked the deaf in the rear end of it I upgraded front and rear sway bars to something stiffer to try to cut down on the rolling but to no avail. 👊🏻🤘🏻Bash on!!!
Tks man...some ppl trying to say I was making this thing roll on purpose...they just dont understand....lol...on 4s it handles better but 6s it rolls big time
I have a UDR and have spent almost as much replacing broken parts as it cost to buy new. I like it, but am always conscious of the way I use it every time it comes out, therefore not fully enjoying it. I am currently trying to sell the UDR and replace it with the Arrma Mojave. I have regretted buying the UDR for a while now. Great comparison video, thanks.
I had a kraton, a typhon and now I have a udr , and so far i realy love the udr, don't get me wrong Kraton and typhon are great cars and i believe they are tougher than Udr, but i, m not a basher... So for that i realy like more the realism from Udr. One question apart, what is better, blx185 combo or vxl6s? Thx for the video and sorry my bad English.
Carlos oliveira I’ve had 0 issues with any of my 3 Blx systems. I have had to replace the esc 2 times now on an Xmaxx that I finally got rid of because the truck wasn’t even 4 months old. Blew the rear diff gears in the Xmaxx as well.
Go for the blx 185. The ESC is 150amps and the motor is 2250kv RPM per volt. Traxxas will not even tell you the ESC amps, they leave you to do the math yourself. They hide it so you dont know what product is better and cheaper. The traxxas vxl6 combo comes with only 2200kv motor. Same size cans. In short BLX is less expensive, and provides a tiny bit more power. I've run both, never killed a blx yet. Killed a vxl ESC though..
I love arrma and my favorite vehicle is the senton. But am i crazy because i still really want the udr? They way it looks and i love watching the suspension work. I will eventually get the mojave but that udr looks so damn good. Does anyone think ill be disappointed with the udr? Opinions welcome.
It depends on what you are looking for. If your pockets are deep and you love the idea of a capable scaler get the UDR. If you don’t care about scale and want a reliable pure basher go with the Arrma. I have a custom 8S UDR and it is everything I wanted and more, but I also have at least a dozen other options to chose from, so there is no need to tear my UDR up for no reason.
I feel like the UDR is for race tracks or dessert racing where it's some what flat where the Mojave is more your basher. Each there own both cool trucks (I feel like solid rear axles tend to flip more than independent)
I would but I'm pretty much done with comparing these two. This is just a quick video that I said I was going to do side-by-side and I just happen to be outside and decided to go ahead and do a quick run of it. UDR is more of a shelf Queen and then to take out and do a quick demo and that's it. For as far as I'm concerned with it. I know other guys put a lot of money and stuff into doing it and bashing it but not me :-)
I believe the udr flips easier do to the lock rear axle. Open diffs helps from flipping they both look awesome. I am actually doing research right now on what short course truck to get. I love the rear suspension setup on the udr thats why it keeps pulling me in that direction
I thought the same thing, when I tried it things got worse unfortunately. My thinking is it needed the weight for traction, but the weight has such a high center of gravity she just rolls constantly. Its extremely disappointing really. 😕 After seeing this video I'm certain I should have gotten the Mojave instead. I had been warned too that's what's worse.
I wouldn't regret the decision too much. It's impossible to make everyone happy and I'm sure there are things to nit-pick on the Mojave. The best can always get better. The UDR is still a really, really good truck in its own right.
Yeah and for the same price for a 4s Traxxas pile of plastic garbage you can go get an arrma 6s that'll be way stronger out the box and for $150 less you can get a 4s arrma that's probably still stronger out the box. 😂
Jay Tee! Hey can you do a video with the Super Baja Rey 2.0 vs these two. Maybe some drag racing, and a stand up track race like you do in that mall parkinglot. I feel that would be good content. Enjoy your videos Bro.
I'm liking the arma one better especially for that price you mentioned, it didnt roll and was faster. I'm a traxxas fan but I think traxxas could have done a bit better, the udr is like a big slash.
Great review I've heard the Mojave has quite a rubbish transmitter, you had any problems with it? I personally prefer the UDR, that cage detail under the bodywork is amazing too!
I have had my UDR since spring and run it many times if you are rolling it often, I’m thinking your disappointments are related to your driving skillz the truck is definitely a great handling truck in skilled hands 😜 I LOVE the way it handles and have had it on everything from sand dunes to a race track and also have not broken anything AT ALL running on 6s( I have also let other people drive it). I DO drive it hard enough lol but it’s not unstable to me at all. Just saying
He's right, I've owned the truck for a year, it rolled a lot! I feel Traxxas could have done better with the handling instead of making it look so scale...

Kev getting the Mojave but keeping it quiet 😁👍
All about the amount of fun you've from driving any RC...
Does this comment still apply if you factor in cost of parts to repair. 😂

Same sunk crazy money I shouldn't have had to into my udr defo wish I knew the mojave was coming out before I done it

Arrmas are always easier to work on. That’s one of the reasons I like them so much!
AJ Green nah my kraton is not that easy to work on if you compare it to my xmaxx
Viktorgta5bilar well the kraton isn’t 1/6 scale and that’s how traxxas design it.
Viktorgta5bilar Yet the comparison was Udr and Mojave. Don’t get your TraxxASS panties in a bunch.
It’s pretty obvious which of these two is the better platform. Much appreciated JayTee!
I wanted a realistic handling and looking trophy truck, so I went with the UDR. I don't go out and drive R/C's everyday, I don't have a bunch of them in my garage (only the UDR). I wanted something to work on at home with a beer, painting all the smaller bits and pieces while upgrading some of the suspension components- as well as something to go out and bash on. However, I also wanted a truck that when I take the body off and put some 1/10th jack stands under it and people look at it, they're seeing a near perfect representation of what a real trophy truck looks like. Rotors, calipers, tubular frame, radiator, limiting strap, etc. That's part of the fun for me, so that's why I chose the UDR. You can say that Mojave is a faster truck or a better handling truck, true- but you can't say it's a trophy truck (maybe "it has a trophy truck body"), or you can't say it's more realistic truck since it's running a unibody w/ independent suspension.

If anyone is so worried about the rolling, take off the damn spare tires. Lol. I've honestly never rolled mine as much as this one video. It rolls, but grass is the UDRs nemesis. In dirt and gravel I've actually only rolled it once or twice. Solid axle, regardless of make, requires a lot more skill to drive. The Mojave is independent suspension all the way around. Never seen a desert truck built that way. I've got a Losi Super Rock Rey built the same way and it rolls as well. Solid axle, but not locked. The SRR is a lot faster obviously on 8s and also requires some effort to drive. The Mojave suspension is more comparable to a Slash, or any independent suspension platform. The absolute only thing the Mojave and the UDR have in common is the ability to run on 6s.
Lane Waite And the only thing the Kraton 8s and Xmaxx have in common is the 8s capacity and yet they are constantly being compared. 9 out of 10 people will see the bodies on both these trucks and decide that way. Btw, the Maxx has terrible stability issues as well as the Udr.
Thank you , great video , you’ve made my mind up it’s the Mojave for me main for it stability in the cornering, I’m disabled so running across a field to flip a car back on its wheels I a big problem for me so thank you , you have helped me massively, stay safe mate ...
This truck is what I wanted my UDR TO BE. Listen to me JayTee I HAVE TO HAVE THIS CAR!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂...it really is a fun truck!
Thanks JT... If I were wanting one I now know which one I'd pick.
I do like the mojave a lot but id rather have the solid rear axle and the overall scale touch that the udr had, great video jaytee!
That Mojave is sick I’ll be getting that for my next RC truck purchase.
great comparison. Clearly the Arrma performed better
Traxxas designed to be realistic, arrma designed for performance. Depends on what you want.
@@nate0765 Yeah, i do think the arrma looks realistic too
@@henriksrensen5958 Think so? Is it tubular framed with a locked diff as well?
That was a cool comparison and there's definitely a clear winner. Thanks for sharing. 👍😊💪🤜🤛
Yea man...its a beast...probably one of the best bashes yet...
Have had three UDR but I can easily say the Mojave is the superior. The UDR is more scale especially in the chassis design but its live axle rear suspension doesn't handle as well as the Mojave with its fully independent suspension. The UDR does flip over and cartwheel way too much and its chassis and other components are too fragile and don't get me started on the ridiculously weak tail shaft.. Across the three UDR I had in the 12 months I must have gone through 30 tail shafts which aren't cheap either. The Arrma Mojave in many ways is a simpler layout design but its definitely far more durable. Now owning the Mojave I kinda have a lot of regrets spending so much money on the UDR especially when my brand new 2nd one broke its tailshaft in less than 5 minutes of its first run and that was running on 4S.. 6S is too much for the drive line to cope with.
The UDRs look cool and very real but considering all it’s faults, why did you go through that pain 3x?
GaFFLe - Because he tried to turn a scale vehicle into a complete basher. Use the vehicles for the purposes for which they were intended and you won’t have those issues.
Nice video Jay i have the UDR and now i want the Mojave look like my senton 6s but more big
Both are great and have driven both and I perfer the Mojave over the UDR. It's so durable and easy to control, easy to work on ECT.
Great comparison👍👍 Thanks for sharing!
Tks for watching
What would be your pick for modest bashing....? Mojave or SBR? Help much appreciated as I am unsure to decide. Thanks, great vid, subscribed....
Mojave.
JayTee RC ...thx... regards from the Nordics!
I like the way you do things I've learned alot about rc. Thank you
Thanks for posting up. I’ve been considering the UDR, but now I’m leaning more towards the Mojave
Cheers
Doc
I just purchased a Mojave. It was between that and the UDR. Guys at the hobby shop said if I were to get the UDR, I'd end up dumping over $300 into upgrades getting it to perform like the Mojave. I love my Mojave! It's a wicked machine! Tough as nails! Very good and fair side by side review.
Awesome run on these two good to see them side by side Mojave is a beast for sure can't wait to get rippin on one very nice happy bashing my brotha👍👍🤙😎🤪😜😝🙈🙉🙊👊✌
Awesome comparison mate. Love it.
Tks
Mojave 😍
I got the Mojave EXB and put the Mojave RTR Spektrum system in it. Its fast as hell and you're right, It takes a lot to make it roll. I didn't think I would like this truck as much as my Kraton and Typhon. It's a really fun to drive and is way more stable that I ever anticipated it would be. Good video.
I had both but i sold the udr because i just liked the Mojave more , it seems to me more stable and i just enjoy driving it more , both were stock , enjoying your videos mate .
I've been a huge traxxis fan but these arrmas are very impressive!!!!!
UDR does look cool, my buddy does Traxxas, so I go with Arrma and other manufactures and have no complaints.
I'll spend real money for that elusive "bullet proof" RC
Thanks the mohave is a beast
Udr has a very distinctive sound, both sick trucks.
Both look awesome! It would be great to have either! I'm Arrma, but I'm also anything R/C and fun! The Traxxas looks fun too!
Which of the two is faster
I like the body of the udr thats about it
I therefore conclude that UDR is just a roller.. it literally rolls each turn! The UDR is a scale runner. It has a scale look and scale suspension. But the speed is not scale lol. The ideal scale speed of 1/7 is 20km/h.
Is your profile pic like that because thats the angle your boyfriends see?
Exactly. Imagine going 600mph (1/10 scale 60mph) in a trophy truck. Nothing about that is scale.
The way I see it, one of these is a good time, and the other one is a disappointing amount of labor to roll around a field very "scale" like.
No patience..Learn how to drive. Go drive like KB - I bet you screw up and roll or smash something 30% car 70% driver.
I have the Losi Bay Rey 1/10 scale. I thought to lock the rear diff. Decided not to. Have you tried taking the lock diff out? Love the content! Keep it up Jay Tee!!!
I have the udr and also the Losi Baja Rey. The udr handles ok but yeah it flips, pretty tough and lots of parts. Losi is more stable and its avc seems better, tho doesn’t like to jump big as well as the udr. Of course the Losi has that darn garbage servo, and diff leaks a bit - typical Losi. Both are a pain to work on. This arrma is on my order list now, good vid, thanks!
THE UDR is a scale trophy truck, The Mojave is a big short course truck, Big difference, it’s like apples and oranges
I still can’t decide if I like that green or red body better haha. Definitely picking up a Mojave come spring time. I’m looking at about 5 to 6 months of winter weather after October so that gives me $849 Canadian \ 6 = about $140 a month to set aside to buy the truck haha. Will be fairly easy and allow me to set it aside just for that. Thought I’d share that math haha.
yo have you look in to a dust cover yet the Mojave is one big dirt collector I know dusty motors has a Universal Adjustable Protection Cover I was thinking about trying it
Old video , but figured I'd throw this out there , as the owner of 2 Mojaves , just picked up the SBR 2.0 , you want to talk about a flipping over machine !!! I was on the edge of getting the UDR , kinda wish I did now , but to late . I will be getting a UDR next , love the scale look , and the drive with the rear action !!! Watching vids of the UDR on dirt , it looks like it performs great !!!
That solid rear axle that’s locked makes it roll easy my udr acts the same way roll happy takes skill not to roll all the time they all have there own style of fun I’d buy another udr love the scale look 👀 the arrma I’m not sure I need one yet I’ll have to see the baby xmax or max 4s got to get that one for sure this one I’m up in the air about it
Earl Moorhead I just can’t get over how good the UDR looks. Funny thing is I’m usually more about functionality than looks, but I’d prob buy the UDR knowing it will break easier and handle worse just because of the realism it offers. On the other hand I just bought an Arrma Talion today. Can’t wait to drive it.
tracym427 if you like the udr you have to run the Mojave! I love the look of the udr as well but driving the Mojave wow great truck I was surprised on how simple it looks
Earl Moorhead yea, it does look like a lot better driving experience.
UDR for show Mojave for use
UDR as a shelf queen 👍
DAMN i am truly impressed with the Mojave. I own the UDR and unfortunately I've had quite a few issues with it. Body Roll, Flipping over, Parts breaking and stripping, Gears getting ripped to shreds, TSM screwing up... The Mojave is hands down just such a better truck....wow.......Doesn't roll and extremely fast.....AMAZING!
Do you think Arrma is the reason there are so many Traxxas vehicles for sale on offer up? I do.
@@MotorMenaceFPV no Traxxas I think is still the biggest rc manufacturer out there. There famous for ingenuity and rtr vehicle platform
@@aaronsoto4622 they are also famous for outrageous prices, broken expensive parts, difficulty to maintain, and dropping a lawsuit on their competition. Oh... and tumbling over EVERY TURN. Ingenuity and Ready to run platform??? LOL that sounds absolutely ridiculous.. It's an RC car, all of the big names are famous for ingenuity, and frankly after watching this truck in motion I'm much less confident in this "ingenuity".
Throwing in a junk nimh battery and a scrap charger is that what gives them the edge? Most people prefer to go lipo anyways, and balance the batteries on their own charger.
1 month ago you said (in your own words) "the Mojave is hands down just such a better truck....wow." Im thinking it's safe to say Arrma is ONE reason so many traxxas owners are crossing over... I know Traxxas is feeling it, they had to drop a lawsuit on the competition. 🤷🏽♂️
To each his own with these things.. but the proof is in the pudding. Shelf queen vs. Desert King. 😎
Dont hate appreciate. 😁
@@MotorMenaceFPV I agree with a few things. Breaking yes. As far as "looks" go UDR is such a better looking vehicle. I answered your question specifically. Facts are Traxxas still is the biggest RC retailer in the world. So obviously they would have more used for sale.
@@aaronsoto4622 exceptional response! I can appreciate that answer. More traxxas vehicles circulating in general. 👍 its awesome when people can have conversations like this without getting heated. I brought it up because I sold my traxxas online to get an Arrma, but the prices were super low on a few and it made it hard to get what I felt mine was worth. 😕
Either way, I've never touched an RC I didn't enjoy!! 👍
nice m8 love the look of that track and the jumps over the fence EPIC very nice m8 :D
Im not an Arrma fanboy and I own a UDR. The UDR only looks better standing still. It's fragile and takes a gentle touch to keep on its tires. I want that Mojave.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
Im so happy you did this comparison... I can't make my mind up on What one i want. I dont bash my rigs that hard and really want a udr because of the scale and solid rear. But im a arrma fan not that big of a traxxas fan but man does that udr look good...
Looks good just doesn't handle the best on 6s...4s it runs good..really good
I’m not a Traxxas fan, never have been but I love my UDR. It did roll quite a bit out of the box. I’ve only run it on 6S, and with a few minor tweaks to the shock preload, it handles much better than stock. I can do nearly full throttle drifts around corners, on pavement, with the TSM turned down to about the 8 o’clock position on the dial. I did change the centre diff fluid to 50k which helped quite a bit with handling on high traction surfaces.
As for durability, I can’t complain about it. I think part of the problem is that people mash the throttle from a dead stop on high-bite surfaces rather than rolling forward slightly before hammering the throttle. One time I hit a rock the size of a small bowling ball/softball at full speed. It dislodged the rock and sent it flying about two feet off the dirt trail. I thought that the UDR was going to have parts dangling from it when I ran up to it, but to my surprise, nothing broke.
Try turning the TSM down or off on high bite surface, and letting off the throttle when approaching a turn, then turn and hammer the throttle to drift out of the turn and you’ll roll less often.
The Arma is built on a pan chassis with 4 wheel independent suspension so it should handle better, but it doesn’t mimic a true desert truck like the UDR. I guess it all depends what you want from your RC when deciding between the two. I just really like how Traxxas designed the UDR to look and drive like a real desert racer hence why I bought one( after saying I’d never own a Traxxas for years😂..made me eat my own words ).
Good comparison video indeed!
@@nitrofreakmanho good valid points and it boils down to what u want in the end. Thanks for the comment!
Great Comparison Jay!!! Didn't know the Mojave was out yet? Udr is a Mean Truck in it's Own Way, But........Arrma All Day for Hard Bashing Fun!!!!
Fantastic comparison, you are on point all around. Traxxas looks more scale, Arrma drives better. One thing, though, Arrma is starting to creep up in price, which is making Traxxas not seem so crazy anymore. Arrma has to be careful - yes it handles better because it's based on a car, basically, but the body isn't as detailed and the radio is terrible compared to what Traxxas provides. Be honest - is the Mojave 6S the equal in terms of features and innovation of the Nero, which used to cost $600? That seems like a bargain today!
Nice video jt 👍 to each it's own 😎 nice comparison
A great fair review of both trucks , I own a UDR myself and to be honest I’m disappointed in it , it has all the upgrades and still rolls often , I’ve learned also that the UDR is better on 4s than on 6s , that new arrma is a much more stable bit of kit
I tried to tell ppl that on 4s the udr is good and that is usually how I run it but if I ran it on 4s here ppl would have complained about that. Thanks for commenting!!!
Jay Tee I wonder if you swapped for the open diffs for the Udr? I did it on mine, and handleing was night and day after that. It's an easy and cheap upgrade. Nice vid, keep up, Cheers mate !
Gentle comparison vid but good nearly bought the udr but definitely getting the mojave just coming to uk
For me I see Arrma mojave and traxxas udr is nice
UDR is a trophy truck. Looks good sitting on your shelf, all shiny & clean. Definitely looks better (especially the red/black body) But if you wanna get out, run & go thru the paces the MOJAVE is the better basher for the buck. Not to mention more stable & durable.... Now I wonder if I can get a red/black UDR type body to fit on the ARRMA? 🤫😉
I get mines today can’t wait great video Mojave for me thanks. I knew I made a great choice now I can sleep 😂🤣👌🏾💯🌎
😂😂😂
Honk it onto any corners??? Lmao I'm weak fam.. My dude! 😆. This vid sold me on the Mojave. Thx brada hoorah😉
UDR for easy driving chill on throttle super real look.
Mojave large shortcourse truck.
For speed run n hard course
Simply design asking for similar price -50.
Arrma for sure I have the Mojave my self
Great comparison my friend! And yes the struggle is real I own the UDR also I still don’t understand why they locked the deaf in the rear end of it I upgraded front and rear sway bars to something stiffer to try to cut down on the rolling but to no avail. 👊🏻🤘🏻Bash on!!!
Tks man...some ppl trying to say I was making this thing roll on purpose...they just dont understand....lol...on 4s it handles better but 6s it rolls big time
JayTee RC They wouldn’t say that if they have had a chance to run one that’s for sure!
If I were to buy one, it would be the Arrma
Thank you JT 😎
I LUV MY UDR BUT TRUTH B TOLD THE MOJAVE IS PUTTING IN WORK !!!!!
😀🤙🇺🇸💯💜♻️
Bought the udr but I really got frustrated with the rolling over. Sold it. Nice looking truck just wasn't for me
Right??? Fuckin batteries and charger. I was so glad when i sold mine.
Just needed a better driver
@@sameuljones5496 I'm a 1/8th buggy pro driver. Lmao
I have a UDR and have spent almost as much replacing broken parts as it cost to buy new. I like it, but am always conscious of the way I use it every time it comes out, therefore not fully enjoying it. I am currently trying to sell the UDR and replace it with the Arrma Mojave. I have regretted buying the UDR for a while now. Great comparison video, thanks.
I had a kraton, a typhon and now I have a udr
, and so far i realy love the udr, don't get me wrong
Kraton and typhon are great cars and i believe they are tougher than Udr, but i, m not a basher... So for that i realy like more the realism from Udr.
One question apart, what is better, blx185 combo or vxl6s?
Thx for the video and sorry my bad English.
Carlos oliveira I’ve had 0 issues with any of my 3 Blx systems. I have had to replace the esc 2 times now on an Xmaxx that I finally got rid of because the truck wasn’t even 4 months old. Blew the rear diff gears in the Xmaxx as well.
Go for the blx 185. The ESC is 150amps and the motor is 2250kv RPM per volt.
Traxxas will not even tell you the ESC amps, they leave you to do the math yourself. They hide it so you dont know what product is better and cheaper. The traxxas vxl6 combo comes with only 2200kv motor. Same size cans.
In short BLX is less expensive, and provides a tiny bit more power.
I've run both, never killed a blx yet. Killed a vxl ESC though..
I love arrma and my favorite vehicle is the senton. But am i crazy because i still really want the udr? They way it looks and i love watching the suspension work. I will eventually get the mojave but that udr looks so damn good. Does anyone think ill be disappointed with the udr? Opinions welcome.
It depends on what you are looking for. If your pockets are deep and you love the idea of a capable scaler get the UDR. If you don’t care about scale and want a reliable pure basher go with the Arrma. I have a custom 8S UDR and it is everything I wanted and more, but I also have at least a dozen other options to chose from, so there is no need to tear my UDR up for no reason.
great vid bro love both cars
Mojave looks much more powerful, stable and tough. The Udr looks more like a static detailed model for exposure purpose
GOOD STUFF, How about a BODY OFF CHASIS / SUSPENSION ROLL TUTORIAL. Would like to see how that looks and works .
I hear if you do the open diff mod it helps the udr tremendously with being more stable and not flipping as much.
Thanks so much for making this video! Also, which one do you think would win in a race and which one do you think would win in tug of war?
Looks - UDR
Speed - Mojave
Power - Mojave
Accessories - UDR
Price - Mojave
Part Support - UDR
@@JayTeeRC okey! thanks so much for the information! Keep up the good videos!👍
Awesome Jay Awesome! OMG👏👍
ARRMA ALL DAY LONG
I feel like the UDR is for race tracks or dessert racing where it's some what flat where the Mojave is more your basher. Each there own both cool trucks (I feel like solid rear axles tend to flip more than independent)
Wow!!!! Amazing~!!!😄😃👍👍
Please take them to compare also on loose gravel or sand. Cuz thats the UDR is designed for. There the UDR can play out his strenghs.
I would but I'm pretty much done with comparing these two. This is just a quick video that I said I was going to do side-by-side and I just happen to be outside and decided to go ahead and do a quick run of it. UDR is more of a shelf Queen and then to take out and do a quick demo and that's it. For as far as I'm concerned with it. I know other guys put a lot of money and stuff into doing it and bashing it but not me :-)
I believe the udr flips easier do to the lock rear axle. Open diffs helps from flipping they both look awesome. I am actually doing research right now on what short course truck to get. I love the rear suspension setup on the udr thats why it keeps pulling me in that direction
Hi
Maybe UDR is flipping due to the 2 tires in the trunk, this weight is high on the end of the car
Removing the spare wheels could improve the behavior of UDR a lot, I guess. Anybody tried this?
I thought the same thing, when I tried it things got worse unfortunately. My thinking is it needed the weight for traction, but the weight has such a high center of gravity she just rolls constantly. Its extremely disappointing really. 😕
After seeing this video I'm certain I should have gotten the Mojave instead. I had been warned too that's what's worse.
I wouldn't regret the decision too much. It's impossible to make everyone happy and I'm sure there are things to nit-pick on the Mojave. The best can always get better. The UDR is still a really, really good truck in its own right.
Have you seen the new Traxxas maxx 1/10 just announced? Looks epic 👍🏻👍🏻
Yep!
Yeah and for the same price for a 4s Traxxas pile of plastic garbage you can go get an arrma 6s that'll be way stronger out the box and for $150 less you can get a 4s arrma that's probably still stronger out the box. 😂
the shocks on the udr are a little to soft to go into corners like the arrma typhon
Jay Tee! Hey can you do a video with the Super Baja Rey 2.0 vs these two. Maybe some drag racing, and a stand up track race like you do in that mall parkinglot. I feel that would be good content. Enjoy your videos Bro.
If you ha the Mojave V2 would you add the UDR to the stable?
I'm liking the arma one better especially for that price you mentioned, it didnt roll and was faster. I'm a traxxas fan but I think traxxas could have done a bit better, the udr is like a big slash.
Great review
I've heard the Mojave has quite a rubbish transmitter, you had any problems with it?
I personally prefer the UDR, that cage detail under the bodywork is amazing too!
All the arrma transmitters look like $5 cheap crap, I just upgraded to the Noble for my typhon 6s
I have had my UDR since spring and run it many times if you are rolling it often, I’m thinking your disappointments are related to your driving skillz the truck is definitely a great handling truck in skilled hands 😜 I LOVE the way it handles and have had it on everything from sand dunes to a race track and also have not broken anything AT ALL running on 6s( I have also let other people drive it). I DO drive it hard enough lol but it’s not unstable to me at all. Just saying
Naw..aint my driving at all....
