I've never tried out the SBR and i own a UDR. The SBR is deff the better choice for performance, durability and power. So before choosing the UDR the next best thing I had was a 4X4 Slash. Stepping into the unknown territory of 6s, I know i was going to be in one hell of a surprise coming from 3s. So the UDR does have the power to it, and the other reason why I went with the UDR it just of it awesome scale looking finish along with the amazing travel in the suspension department! I love watching slo-mo videos on the UDR when it soaks up bumps and smaller jumps. The UDR is not durable enough to be a basher and a high jumper. I run my UDR like its an actual trophy truck trying to win the Baja race! =D Drift it around every dirt corner and don't turn sharp on the tarmac because you WILL! flip it over. I don't regret my decision between these 2 trucks at all.
my sbr went out to my local field, and the stability was like so capable and at hight speeds. two UDR s showed up 30 mins later, and i kept watching them roll over after roll. love my losi
I absolutely love my UDR. Havent had any issues with it, and i have been running it almost every weekend since i got it about 6 months ago. Not a single thing broke so far. *Knocks on wood furiously.
@@AMain_Hobbies Tell me about it. The slash on the other hand, that is another story. I just look at the thing and I blew drive shafts and shock caps until i finally upgraded them.
this was a difficult decision for me owning nothing but traxxas cars as of this time but I decided on the Losi, and took it home yesterday...first drive was blast!!
So the Losi is larger, more powerful, stronger, has better electronics . . . but the Traxxas looks more scale. You can have your looks while you're replacing parts all the time. Traxxas dropped the thing $120 to offset the dough you'd need to stack in it just to get it to run w/o it seeing the bench afterwards.
Not true my udr out runs my buddy's sbr all day. Yes I broke the trailing arms,replaced with metal and I always change the steering servo in any rtr. The sbr is a bad ass truck but its kind of a heavy clumsy turd lol. There both fun as hell.
Pretty typical. We thought things would turn around with XMaxx being such a tank, but traxxas habit of giving us the bare minimum chinese plastic tub-mobiles at premium prices strikes yet again. At least they have a healthy aftermarket I suppose, we can look forward to ground-up a really nice version of the rig from ordered parts like you could with the slash, riding plump with HR /GPM upgrades and RPM plastic replacements
The SBR electronics alone are worth the price difference. Its a beast of a truck. I had to lawn dart mine from 10 feet high just to finally break a front arm. haha. Great video.
Thanks for the good video! I have owned both losi and Traxxas. As a general rule I have found the losis have beefier components and more metal items vs. plastic. But yes as to the general comments when I break a part on traxxas, go on their website, order with standard shipping and if I break it sat or Sunday at the track, I’m usually back out there next weekend because my part arrived and I fixed it Losi parts? I’ve been sort of lucky with in stock, but not always. Sometimes it is 3 or 4 weeks or no part then it’s junk parts search or another company’s parts, it’s a total fiasco... 🙄
Right out of the steering servo burnt out on my UDR in 20mins, upgraded to the 330. Then the rear diff stripped out on the 2nd run. So I'm not a bug fan of the UDR right now.
I got a Traxxas UDR but then a mate got one of these Losi, the same one in the review and its a better truck. Yeah my UDR does accelerate a bit quick quicker but the Baha is better everywhere else. Just seems more drive-able and stable in corners than the UDR and definitely is more resistant to rolling. Kinda stuck with my UDR for now but I do really like it. And I do prefer the look of the UDR..
They are completely different cars, one is meant for realism the other is more for racing, you should have looked better for info since that fact is widely known in the rc community
I love how everyone is trying to proove a point to themselves that one brand is better than traxxas. They say things like "it looks better" that is an opinion and most people would say that the udr looks cooler. "its tougher" of course it is, the udr is scale and says not to bash it in the manual. "Its cheaper", of course it is, traxxas is an independent company and losi is owned by horizon, which owns hundreds of other companys including arrma and axial. I still like both companys and buy products from both of them, but horizon fanboys are very bad with this stuff and need to learn that just because you don't like something doesn't mean that it sucks.
I agree with you but fanboys seldom listen to logic. Unfortunately, everything has their share of them. I get shouted at by fanboys of my own football team because I’m honest enough to point out their flaws. They’re too busy being cheerleaders that they can’t be objective.
I just ordered the UDR and i was worrying about seeing all these videos saying its fragile but i also keep seeing after insane crashing it its breaking... Im glad you brought out that this is not a basher... if ppl want that they should get an xmaxx
@@xeroblastx I know the feeling. I bought mine used because it had only been ran once and was extremely cheap. Which also saved me the worry of thinking i bought the wrong thing. I see videos where they compare it to this and the mojave, but then they keep showing how the udr they are using is packed with aluminum parts which is just going to weigh the thing down. Btw from my experience, all the udr needs is rpm trailing arms and metal wheels hexes, i cartwheeled the thing twice extremely hard (which put holes in the ground) And the only damage was a slightly bent sway bar, which i haven't even fixed because it doesn't affect the vehicle.
The $100+ price difference isn't some arbitrary thing foisted by Horizon The SBR is much bigger, has stronger electronic components, and way more metal parts than the UDR The UDR might even have a better profit margin than the SBR in the end just in cost of build/material
Agreed it’s just annoying that when people say the udr is weak and they send it of off 10ft jumps both trucks are great my friend has a losi and I have the udr great trucks
Ezra begin the udr isn’t a race truck it’s a basher I’m not looking to baby a rc car that’s why I got it if I wanted to drive in the dirt I’d just drive a utv what’s the point unless your racing or jumping it 10 ft?
SBR 1.0 isnt bad at all, I would take the losi all day, The SBR 2.0 is absolutely amazing, I've run my pretty hard but take care of toys lol, I have no complaints, fully stock(for now)
I'd lick the udr because I love Traxxas and the udr just looks so muck better. Evendoe the losi is better for the price you pay I'd still choose the Traxxas udr
Thanks drog. The SBR is a great rig and you're right, those bigger tires are really nice. If you do pick up a SBR, let us know how you enjoy it! Thanks. -Brett
I'm good with my UDR. The SBR is just a bit bigger than I prefer. My UDR is for speed only, no bashing. I've replaced the problematic bits with aluminum the day I got it. If I want a basher, I'd use my Revo or buy the X-Maxx. 10 months after this comment, I now have the Super Baja Rey AND the UDR. C(=
I love traxxas but this losi just is more appealing to me overall. Only downside is to try getting parts and will these be available in a couple of years?
Enjoy traxxas vehicles and actually in process of building a lcg slash to try hitting or exceeding the 100mph mark with it but the Losi SBR is badass.not only that but its bigger then the UDR not to mention faster out of the box so I'll go SBR.itll end up all hopped up anyhow so why not go bigger?lmao
Losi really needs to put out new licensed bodies like the 1/10 scale King and Black Rhyno ones for the Super Baja Rey in BND (preferably with the vertical spare wheels in the back), I would be all over that, just sayin'.
Traxxas usually includes a separate gearing for 'high speed usage' to keep the motor running cooler during normal usage. You should have put that in for this instead of the gearing it came with out of the box.
Own the use and run 4s. Truck has been utterly reliable. Definitely not a basher. For the ultimate in realism it is the best choice. Bashers need not apply.
After the video I guess between the two it would be the Losi however if I were just choosing an RC I would spend another two hundred and get an XMAXX no question.
Oh yeah.. I mean.. Losi has that all metal chassie, just yuck... And the xmaxx, that wonderful all plastic chassie perfectly made in china. Who wouldn´t want that.
@@flattabang if you can afford one try it out you will understand what I mean. If you are racing then do your thing, I understand Traxxas is not top at the track but crashing and bashing they have been the best for me and I have bought many. I have seven grandchildren and started out with Redcat, total junk, I spent more time fixing than driving however right now I have 9 Traxxas vehicles. The youngest is 5 years old and I keep them in training mode while learning, another great feature but for me keeping them all one brand is simplest and allows for parts to be used across multiple vehicles. So based on my experience, there is no question, its Traxxas all day long but that does not mean there is anything wrong with Losi, it is just my choice. My last comment in relation to metal vs polymers, do you realize some of the best innovation in firearms has been through the use of polymer? You might just be surprised how durable with the added benefit of being able to flex polymer can be, used in the correct applications its replacing steel.
@DeviousRC 66 People say the same about those who can afford a corvette then ask if they can look at it, my guess you have never driven one. Maybe one day but for now it is probably best you focus on your real car, you would not want to own a toy worth more than the vehicle you drive to school.
DeviousRC 66 you show how little you know already and your fixation on compensation should concern everyone. You should see someone about that, talk it out.
@DeviousRC 66 I agree they are your worthless opinions, you might want to learn to keep them to yourself. If you do not have anything good to say do not say anything at all. As for my worth, my generation takes care of our parents and our kids, something you will never be able to accomplish. As an example, I bet you are still on your mom and dad's cell phone plan and insurance. Grow up and take care of your own bills before buying toys.
I owned both and I sold the baja rey. No doubt the baja rey was a bit tougher but it ate batteries because it's so heavy. Also, if you want to buy a new body it's extremely expensive. The UDR looks sooo good while it's driving. Keep it on 4s and enjoy watching the suspension work. I love my UDR. Way longer run times with my batteries. However the baja rey could survive a nuclear blast and the stock UDR servo is complete garbage.
Bought UDR a month ago. Front driveshaft screw came loose. Other than that so far tons of fun and looks soo real. I gwt around 30mins on a pair of 3s 5000mah Traxxas batteries. Buying a SBR 2.0 this weekend.
I could not decide which one too buy,,, so I bought both except I got the Fox body orange one and I love them both ,but to be honest the Losi is better built.
I now own both. SBR is on a whole different level. You can break a UDR fairly easy. SRB is fucking tank, its faster, a shit ton more easy to drive and throw around. Its also a lot more stable than a udr can ever dream of being. The motor and esc's are not even close to the same level, SBR can actually handle 8s out of the box to make it a even more unfair match... Anyone who thinks the UDR is a better truck or better to drive in anyway is a dumb shill for traxxas. I got into this hobby 3 months ago with no loyalty to any brand. Losi stuff ive learned is far better out of the box quality. Traxxas stuff i like to due to the aftermarket and making it your own. But seriously these 2 trucks are not a fair match at all.
@@AMain_Hobbies Just upgraded to aluminum hex's n aluminum lower trailing arms n so far its held up good with just those upgrades, I ordered upper rear trailing links too but they never showed up
Love my UDR. Haven't broken a thing on it yet. Considering some of the jumps and crashes it's had, I'm pretty impressed. No doubt the Losi is tougher, but for me I'd take the scale looks and driving realism of the UDR. The servo is junk though. Replace immediately.
Traxxas is good depending on what the use the 2wd ones are good for getting in the hobby but not the best bashers. They also have tons of parts and they have been making some trucks for almost 30 years
how long has the Losi ten scte been going ?? how long has the Losi 8t been going ?? how long has the Losi 5t been going ?? i think its longer than 2 years you know
My Traxxas is always needing my wrench time. My Losi is very reliable. My Axial and Team Associated like bearings. That's just my opinion though. As for the video both trucks look good. I would have to pick up the SBR.
Hey Brett I heard about the fires destroying some of the amain employees houses, hope yours survived and all is well for you guys. That's horrible. Great job on the video.
Any chance of a link to the servo that was fitted into the UDR ? Great video dude kev Talbot is a great RUclipsr his buddy pat is sound too great to see Kev's idea for UDR battery connector switch helped
the sbr can do 8s instead of just 6s of the udr. also udr has a shitty servo around 200oz tq the sbr has a servo more around 300. and tbh want something prob closer to the 400-450oz range.
Losi 24/7 I have have had 3 Traxxas products and thy have had problems with material, thy will brake EZ. On the other hand i have the Super Baja Rey and the only thing i truly hate is taking off the body.
AMain Hobbies Brett, May I have an old Brushed Trx4 or ProMT? Or even just a plain slash or a Short course Thank you, Brian ;) Must be fun to get to review all these stuff on camera, you are the MAN!
AMain Hobbies Alright thank you;) I was only partially joking, but thank you again for noting it! You are awesome, and I will keep YOU in mind. 🚘 just hit me up when you guys are about to dump an outdated item ehehe
U forgot to mention a planetary gearset carrier feeds directly into the rear spool, I don't know why traxxas did this? I believe it changes speed of input from rear driveshaft to the output of planetary into the spool. If they were trying. To have the rear spool spin at a different ratio from the front diff, why not just run a different pinion to ring gear ratio from front?
Man... I think for myself and how badly I can drive a bash vehicle... I'd have to go with the Losi. It has more Beef to it and better electronics stock. It looks awesome and Alloy chassis/motor mount and all tunable diffs. I bet it holds up over time better than the Traxxas.
The sbr hands down is the better truck. Other then having a doa steering servo right out of the box I haven't had any issues with the truck itself. The only issue I've had is killing batteries I've killed 2 50-100c 5800mah 3s packs. I've switched to a single 6s haven't had any issues "knock on wood"
@@AMain_Hobbies Puffing up and catastrophic failure. Not even being run hard just around my yard two times now. Both times relatively new sets of batteries. Both times only one battery died.
10 to 12 minutes run time on the UDR? I use traxxas 5000 MAH packs and I get at least 20-25 minutes. I also had to replace the wheel hex due to the pin turning in the plastic hex. Aluminum is the way to go.
you tested the vehicles unfairly, you need to test the max battery capacity the car can handle out of the box without changing any connectors. That's a fair test.
Nah it wouldn't be. Now it's not even fair really because of the scale and the kv the motors have. Traxxas at i think 2200kv and sbr at 1200 is a big difference. And if you'd give the sbr a 8s ( think it's capable of that) it would theoretically go 73mph
If you get the Losi good luck finding parts for the s.o.b.. Knowing Losi they probably discontinued parts for the Baja Rey before they released the damn thing! 😂
I have never had any issues finding parts for any of my losi's. I have a sbr and 5ive t. The longest I have never had to wait more than a week for any part that I have needed. It takes about the same time to get traxxas parts since I don't have a local hobby shop anymore.
Once you own a RC you will find out its weaknesses. Right now i am regretting my udr. and these are my own opinions. tires are to small. sure it looks nice but it tends to flip too easy and nose dives alot due to the rear bumper scrapping off every jump that has to much of a kick/angle. Me being a basher. this truck is not meant for that.
Brett - you do excellent videos, keep up the good work buddy! Question for you (or anyone): how do you think the Arrma Mojave compares to these two? I am considering getting into something larger scale like this and really like all 3 but seem to be gravitating towards the Arrma. Please let me know your thoughts! Would love to see a Mojave video! Thank you!
Not sure to be honest; we haven't used the Mojave. I think Losi has discontinued the SBR so I'd stay away from that. From what I know, the UDR has all the looks and styling, where the Mojave appears to be more a basher. The UDR isn't really meant to be a hardcore basher, but the Mojave may fill those shoes better. We're working on doing a review on the Mojave soon and a comparison between the two. It may take a few months to complete though. Hope this helps some. -Brett
@@ezrabegin8234 Thats actually not even close to true. The slash could take way more abuse than the UDR and not get as much damage as the UDR. The vxl 4×4 slash (which i have) is more faster and powerful than the UDR and can take a hell of a beating. So yeah not even close to being right man. Im not arguing i am just saying 👍
So if the durability is keeping you back from buying either of these trucks, do like me and buy the Arrma Mojave V2 rtr. You'll get all the driving experience, speed and size but you won't get the scale looking suspension etc. The Mojave will be more durable by a lot. Also it's $700 after tax.
Losi all day long. Traxxas are having major quality control snags at the moment. I phoned the Traxxas helpline when my pinion grub screw was stripped from factory, and the guy told me "Traxxas make thousands of models, so there's gonna be a few with errors, you can buy a new pinion from any model shop that sells Traxxas" HAHA Terrible
I'm glad my little helped you out :) Nice video dude

I gotta say... This guy presents these RCs and his company extremely well.. Love listening to him explain stuff!
agree. reminds me of the way Jang from URC use to kinda brake things down.
For the life of me, I can't understand why a major brand like Traxxas supplies trucks with that shitty steering servo. Come on Traxxas!

So with that drivinf (like a trophy truck) please yell me nothing has broken? Because i just bought one to drive it on dry beach sand
What stands out the most to me about both of these trucks is….how much more expensive they now are in 2021 compared to when this video was made.

if you could only keep 1 which would you pick?
But from what I see the suspension on the udr on the back goes was high and lower than baja ??
I really wish the Losi came in kit form. That would lower the cost significantly Too bad the 2.0 doesn't either.

@@surfside75 yeah, you should've just gotten a slash vxl for 200$ less (after batteries) that can do everything the Mojave can.
Nah bro.. I'm super happy with my Arrma Mojave, so much that I'm buying the EXB Mojave and sending it to the moon on spektrum 8S!👍😂🏁🍻
@@surfside75 Whatever floats your boat. Just seems like a souped up Slash
Losi really needs to put out new licensed bodies like the 1/10 scale King and Black Rhyno ones for the Super Baja Rey in BND (preferably with the vertical spare wheels in the back), I would be all over that, just sayin'.
Super baja rey is amazing!
Way more than the UDR.
@@NobodyNoWhereElse the price for amazing
Traxxas usually includes a separate gearing for 'high speed usage' to keep the motor running cooler during normal usage. You should have put that in for this instead of the gearing it came with out of the box.
I Love my SBR!!! So happy that I bought one
Great video Brett! Very informative! The extinguisher comments are funny lol!
Very nice super detailed review.
Own the use and run 4s. Truck has been utterly reliable. Definitely not a basher. For the ultimate in realism it is the best choice. Bashers need not apply.
After the video I guess between the two it would be the Losi however if I were just choosing an RC I would spend another two hundred and get an XMAXX no question.
Oh yeah.. I mean.. Losi has that all metal chassie, just yuck... And the xmaxx, that wonderful all plastic chassie perfectly made in china.
Who wouldn´t want that.
@@flattabang if you can afford one try it out you will understand what I mean. If you are racing then do your thing, I understand Traxxas is not top at the track but crashing and bashing they have been the best for me and I have bought many. I have seven grandchildren and started out with Redcat, total junk, I spent more time fixing than driving however right now I have 9 Traxxas vehicles. The youngest is 5 years old and I keep them in training mode while learning, another great feature but for me keeping them all one brand is simplest and allows for parts to be used across multiple vehicles. So based on my experience, there is no question, its Traxxas all day long but that does not mean there is anything wrong with Losi, it is just my choice. My last comment in relation to metal vs polymers, do you realize some of the best innovation in firearms has been through the use of polymer? You might just be surprised how durable with the added benefit of being able to flex polymer can be, used in the correct applications its replacing steel.
@DeviousRC 66 People say the same about those who can afford a corvette then ask if they can look at it, my guess you have never driven one. Maybe one day but for now it is probably best you focus on your real car, you would not want to own a toy worth more than the vehicle you drive to school.
DeviousRC 66 you show how little you know already and your fixation on compensation should concern everyone. You should see someone about that, talk it out.
@DeviousRC 66 I agree they are your worthless opinions, you might want to learn to keep them to yourself. If you do not have anything good to say do not say anything at all. As for my worth, my generation takes care of our parents and our kids, something you will never be able to accomplish. As an example, I bet you are still on your mom and dad's cell phone plan and insurance. Grow up and take care of your own bills before buying toys.
I owned both and I sold the baja rey. No doubt the baja rey was a bit tougher but it ate batteries because it's so heavy. Also, if you want to buy a new body it's extremely expensive. The UDR looks sooo good while it's driving. Keep it on 4s and enjoy watching the suspension work. I love my UDR. Way longer run times with my batteries. However the baja rey could survive a nuclear blast and the stock UDR servo is complete garbage.
Bought UDR a month ago. Front driveshaft screw came loose. Other than that so far tons of fun and looks soo real. I gwt around 30mins on a pair of 3s 5000mah Traxxas batteries. Buying a SBR 2.0 this weekend.
Did you ever get it
Looking snazzy, Brett!
I could not decide which one too buy,,, so I bought both except I got the Fox body orange one and I love them both ,but to be honest the Losi is better built.
I now own both. SBR is on a whole different level. You can break a UDR fairly easy. SRB is fucking tank, its faster, a shit ton more easy to drive and throw around. Its also a lot more stable than a udr can ever dream of being. The motor and esc's are not even close to the same level, SBR can actually handle 8s out of the box to make it a even more unfair match... Anyone who thinks the UDR is a better truck or better to drive in anyway is a dumb shill for traxxas. I got into this hobby 3 months ago with no loyalty to any brand. Losi stuff ive learned is far better out of the box quality. Traxxas stuff i like to due to the aftermarket and making it your own. But seriously these 2 trucks are not a fair match at all.
I get everything I need from Amain hobbies
I like when u do comparisons Brett, good job, I own the UDR n its awesome!
If I had a choice I got to say I love my Rc converted 1/1 dessert racer 😂
@@AMain_Hobbies Just upgraded to aluminum hex's n aluminum lower trailing arms n so far its held up good with just those upgrades, I ordered upper rear trailing links too but they never showed up
Love my UDR. Haven't broken a thing on it yet. Considering some of the jumps and crashes it's had, I'm pretty impressed. No doubt the Losi is tougher, but for me I'd take the scale looks and driving realism of the UDR. The servo is junk though. Replace immediately.
I have one and I love it
Super Baja Rey by default. Not anything against the UDR, it's just that I can't support Traxxas as a company.
Traxxas FTW because It wont be discontinued in 2 years.
This is what kills me about losi
Traxxas is good depending on what the use the 2wd ones are good for getting in the hobby but not the best bashers. They also have tons of parts and they have been making some trucks for almost 30 years
Nope
Traxxas and Losi FTW
how long has the Losi ten scte been going ??
how long has the Losi 8t been going ??
how long has the Losi 5t been going ??
i think its longer than 2 years you know
gatti493 this guy has a point. I think the Baja Rey been around for 8 or 9 years already and still not discontinue.
Metal chassis always better than plastic. Learned that with the X-maxx
My Traxxas is always needing my wrench time. My Losi is very reliable. My Axial and Team Associated like bearings. That's just my opinion though. As for the video both trucks look good. I would have to pick up the SBR.
Hey Brett I heard about the fires destroying some of the amain employees houses, hope yours survived and all is well for you guys. That's horrible. Great job on the video.
Thanks for all the info u help with.
Any chance of a link to the servo that was fitted into the UDR ? Great video dude kev Talbot is a great RUclipsr his buddy pat is sound too great to see Kev's idea for UDR battery connector switch helped

Now...the last time we reviewed losi and Traxxas (xo1/losi6)...Traxxas made it look like they care just a lil bit more 🤔
Traxxas is overpriced, under engineered crap
Im going with Losi, hands down.
Brett great comparison👍👍🤘🤘. I could not decide which one to get when these trucks first came out, so I bought both😁😁
@@AMain_Hobbies All depends on the location I'm going for the day😁
Great vid. Team Losi all the way.
One is heavier and of a larger scale, should have let the losi run on 8s. Running it on 6s is underpowering it imo.
the sbr can do 8s instead of just 6s of the udr. also udr has a shitty servo around 200oz tq the sbr has a servo more around 300. and tbh want something prob closer to the 400-450oz range.
Cool video!!
Amain I love your videos subscribed and liked I like your cap
Losi 24/7 I have have had 3 Traxxas products and thy have had problems with material, thy will brake EZ. On the other hand i have the Super Baja Rey and the only thing i truly hate is taking off the body.
Awh, it's ONLY like 24 screws...

I will take any of your leftover old RCs from Amain, Brett!
Preferably the electric models, thank you!
What do you need!?

Brett,
May I have an old Brushed Trx4 or ProMT? Or even just a plain slash or a Short course
Thank you,

Ok. Most of what we have in the studio we use but I'll keep that in mind.

Alright thank you;) I was only partially joking, but thank you again for noting it! You are awesome, and I will keep YOU in mind. 🚘 just hit me up when you guys are about to dump an outdated item ehehe
Losi always love my 5t 2.0 and 8 e buggy
U forgot to mention a planetary gearset carrier feeds directly into the rear spool, I don't know why traxxas did this? I believe it changes speed of input from rear driveshaft to the output of planetary into the spool. If they were trying. To have the rear spool spin at a different ratio from the front diff, why not just run a different pinion to ring gear ratio from front?
7:17 lol what was that??
I didn’t see anything?
Why did you use ec5 connectors? They are a pain to take apart
Man... I think for myself and how badly I can drive a bash vehicle... I'd have to go with the Losi. It has more Beef to it and better electronics stock. It looks awesome and Alloy chassis/motor mount and all tunable diffs. I bet it holds up over time better than the Traxxas.
The sbr hands down is the better truck. Other then having a doa steering servo right out of the box I haven't had any issues with the truck itself. The only issue I've had is killing batteries I've killed 2 50-100c 5800mah 3s packs. I've switched to a single 6s haven't had any issues "knock on wood"
@@AMain_Hobbies Puffing up and catastrophic failure. Not even being run hard just around my yard two times now. Both times relatively new sets of batteries. Both times only one battery died.
Dam that super Rey looks sweet !! Great comparison Brett 😁👍🏻👍🏻 Has Traxxas taken Losi to court yet ?
Court ? For what?
@@jeffkinsey3801 Because TRX like to sue other rc compagnies for irrelevant patents.
@@NobodyNoWhereElse give me a break. Nobody's copying any pos traxxas rc.
@@jeffkinsey3801 But the sues of TRX are real.
Isn't the locked diff in the rear hard on trucks on jumps & what not? Would the unlocked diff be more bashable?
Sbr all day. That truck looks like a beast.
You wanna pay 1,000 dollars for it😂
@@curtisslack7458 No I don't. Why would I pay 1000$ for a rc that's 700$? That be pretty stupid no?
Chris Watson I ain’t being mean
@@curtisslack7458 I know. Im saying the truck isn't 1k. Its 700$
Chris Watson ooooh sorry bud
Fire hydrant? Lol🤦♂️🤣😂
Losi for the win
10 to 12 minutes run time on the UDR? I use traxxas 5000 MAH packs and I get at least 20-25 minutes. I also had to replace the wheel hex due to the pin turning in the plastic hex. Aluminum is the way to go.
you tested the vehicles unfairly, you need to test the max battery capacity the car can handle out of the box without changing any connectors. That's a fair test.
Nah it wouldn't be. Now it's not even fair really because of the scale and the kv the motors have. Traxxas at i think 2200kv and sbr at 1200 is a big difference. And if you'd give the sbr a 8s ( think it's capable of that) it would theoretically go 73mph
If you get the Losi good luck finding parts for the s.o.b..
Knowing Losi they probably discontinued parts for the Baja Rey before they released the damn thing! 😂
Wow, didn't think it was that bad.
I have never had any issues finding parts for any of my losi's. I have a sbr and 5ive t. The longest I have never had to wait more than a week for any part that I have needed. It takes about the same time to get traxxas parts since I don't have a local hobby shop anymore.
Is there any chance you could post close ups or a video on your ec5 connectors in the udr?
i like udr🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
Once you own a RC you will find out its weaknesses. Right now i am regretting my udr. and these are my own opinions. tires are to small. sure it looks nice but it tends to flip too easy and nose dives alot due to the rear bumper scrapping off every jump that has to much of a kick/angle. Me being a basher. this truck is not meant for that.
You need a longer jump. You shouldn't be bottoming out on launch
I like the ARRMA Mojave and the udd
Traxxas and my local hobby store has parts in bulk in hand for it for upgrades
I would take both lol! I have the UDR already. The Losi looks so nice 👍👍👍👍👍
Brett - you do excellent videos, keep up the good work buddy!
Question for you (or anyone): how do you think the Arrma Mojave compares to these two? I am considering getting into something larger scale like this and really like all 3 but seem to be gravitating towards the Arrma. Please let me know your thoughts! Would love to see a Mojave video!
Thank you!
Not sure to be honest; we haven't used the Mojave. I think Losi has discontinued the SBR so I'd stay away from that. From what I know, the UDR has all the looks and styling, where the Mojave appears to be more a basher. The UDR isn't really meant to be a hardcore basher, but the Mojave may fill those shoes better. We're working on doing a review on the Mojave soon and a comparison between the two. It may take a few months to complete though. Hope this helps some.
-Brett
Traxxas puts fire hydrants on their short course trucks
@@AMain_Hobbies I would agree. Nice job sir
Thats what we do out here
Losi is the best for the money.
udr ftw mine is bullet proof after I changed all the diff weights and silicone sealed the components.
Wow thx cool video. I like both companies but in terms of who would take more abuse i would say the Losi Baja Rey. The UDR breaks to fast
Omg how many times do I have to say this it’s called desert racer for a reason not a basher
And considering that you have a slash in your profile picture and the slash is weaker than the udr
@@ezrabegin8234 Thats actually not even close to true. The slash could take way more abuse than the UDR and not get as much damage as the UDR. The vxl 4×4 slash (which i have) is more faster and powerful than the UDR and can take a hell of a beating. So yeah not even close to being right man. Im not arguing i am just saying 👍
@@ezrabegin8234 ikr i hate it when people say that the udr is meant for realsim driving not bashing get it right people.
Mlg Dank rc fair point but my experience with the slash has been horrible anyway both trucks are good
So if the durability is keeping you back from buying either of these trucks, do like me and buy the Arrma Mojave V2 rtr. You'll get all the driving experience, speed and size but you won't get the scale looking suspension etc. The Mojave will be more durable by a lot. Also it's $700 after tax.
Losi all day long. Traxxas are having major quality control snags at the moment. I phoned the Traxxas helpline when my pinion grub screw was stripped from factory, and the guy told me "Traxxas make thousands of models, so there's gonna be a few with errors, you can buy a new pinion from any model shop that sells Traxxas" HAHA Terrible
