Let's see, I started this on 10/12/20 and did a complete teardown of this truck (LOVED every bit of it btw as the X-Maxx is really nice to wrench on and spare parts are CHEAP ranging from $3-$15) and...

No I didn't as my bearings looked pretty good after breaking things down. I plan on using the stock ones for now but I also plan on buying Avid bearings for replacements which is inevitable...

Yes, welcome to the forum! And thx RCWilly for the links! I didn't know Traxxas had an instruction page for this. But here's my take on this mod (although I haven't done it yet with my UDR) and it...

Hmmm, I've been reading this thread and it is very interesting to me, or are we all just that bored? :D

I was thinking about some things though, trying to be neutral and trying to understand what...

I had written down some dates a long time ago but not sure if this is accurate. Can someone confirm these timelines?

X-Maxx History...
November 2015 (6S Version)
December 2016 (6S-8S Power...

Yes, I'll be using the TQi radio, thx! Looks like I'm gonna get an Ultimate then!

Good point then as I thought those upgrades were more for racing but if they strengthen everything then I think the Ultimate would be worth it for me. Hmmmm...decisions, decisions.

Thx for the...

Is the Ultimate worth the extra $130 over buying the regular 4X4? I won't be racing it, just bashing it. I know the Ultimate comes with a lot of upgraded parts but I also noticed it includes the...

No, the upgraded 2085X servo does add...
- More torque
- Stiffer servo saver spring
- Steel steering linkage

...so for the extra money you do get more but my stock servo with metal gears for...

A lot of good advice here and as you've read, mileage may vary depending on your circumstances. Big +1 on the RCGroups bunch, those guys know their electronics and are another good resource as well...

FedEx delivered my new Traxxas UDR this afternoon at 2:44pm PST! It only took them 3 days, take that USPS!

Pics & unboxing video updates to this post coming soon...

FedEx delivered both the Light Kit and new green body (Part #: TRA7711G) today!

Since I'm still waiting on some parts to finish up fixing her up and lookin' new again, I'll hold off installing the...

Yeah, I really wish they had more body options too.

I think what I'm gonna do is keep my new body a shelf-queen when I hang the UDR on the wall and buy an unbreakable/indestructible body for...

Thanks for confirming RCWilly! Yeah, I saw that 2075R was also listed in the UDR parts list but then I saw this quick video... by Traxxas and got confused as it shows them removing a servo (2075X)...

I also asked a guy who I trust (he helped with the iCharger and really knows his stuff). After sending him the link of the UDR ESC, specs, etc., and telling him what Traxxas said, he got back to me...

LOL! Thanks Fallen! I was thinking the same thing about Xmas around the corner and making a decision to get one sooner than later. You & others really helped too so thanks for that!

By the way,...

Today I bought the FOX edition, Orange/White (TRA85086-4-FOX) online from www.beachrc.com/!!! Beach RC had 1 left and since my LHS didn't have it in stock and Traxxas is out of stock with no ETA, I...

Wow, can't wait to see how that turns out!!! Interesting, cause just yesterday I came across this video of a guy who made his UDR look really scale...

Glad I found this thread as I had the same question. I'm thinking about getting the UDR and if I do I want to use a single 6S battery from SMC True Spec here... (22.2V, 7700mAh, 120C) which is what...

Definitely +1...

Good to know and I'll be sure to confirm what part #'s are needed. I really do like having the peace of mind of now knowing how to keep the axle! If I do get the UDR, this will eventually be an...

That is very awesome and very nice to know you solved that issue with the aluminum upgrade!!!

This got me thinking, I'm assuming the "open diff" mod can still be done using any aluminum axle...

I do appreciate the honest feedback! I want to hear good and bad as every RC has something negative. I'm trying to see if the negatives of the UDR outweigh the positives.

So far, it seems to me...

***Update To This Post***

So my LHS can't get the LED Light Kit for the X-Maxx and Traxxas shows it's still backordered with no ETA in sight. Last time this happened I ended up waiting 2 1/2...

Am I the only one here that feels this is some kind of template posted in the wrong place? There is nothing specific that the OP posted. They study and read books about this topic huh!? Hmmmm? It...
