The fact that the UDR went up $100 makes it easier for me to pick the Mojave.

Great Video! I don't think people realize how much work it takes to cut a video like that. So thank you! I bought the UDR & ran it for months without bothering with the traxxas app. Once I hooked the app up, it made it 10x more fun to run. Shows speed, can turn lights on/off etc etc. Yes its minor, but still very cool. We have over 80 RCs but the UDR is my son's go to every weekend. I feel its more of a flat terrain/ track rc & really not for bashing cause yes it is a pain in the ass to work on lol! I haven't bought a Mojave because I feel we have plenty of the same chassis's with having almost every Arrma RC (kratons, outcasts, notorious, typhon, talion). Yes they are all a lil different but stil the same. If your an RC enthusiasts/collector, you gotta own a UDR or atleast run one experiencing the app. Thx again for your videos.

Best comparison I’ve seen on YT between these two. Thank You!

You really went the extra mile on this video my friend…. The comparisons you made on both of these models was spot on ….and it definitely gave potential buyers a solid representation of both vehicles plus/minus features…. Gr8 job!! The only thing I would have liked is the specs on bot models… and the price of both models as tested. ☮️++++++out! 👍🏻😎

It is nice to see you and your wife truly enjoying those two trucks together💙😁. I have beat my Mojave to death for 6months and then upgrades went in with Integy gear cases, a full set of GPM braces, CRCU hindgepin blocks w/ 0° rear tow in and T-bone bumpers. So now its seriously solid and just awesome!!

This video was the one that sold me on getting the Mojave. Watching the UDR barrel roll on some pretty tame U-turns at the storage facility was just stupid. LOL

What a awesome description of the two! 🔥🔥🔥

I missed this video very excellent comparison. I just got the Mojave didn’t realize how big it is. WOW. Great video thanks 🙏

your charisma is insane like ive been watching video after video on comparing the two and you really convinced me to want the armma one also your just a good reviewer

Awesome video. Best video I’ve seen of these trucks

Exceptional content and the attention to detail in unbiased comparison is remarkable. Thanks a million. I was going to get myself and daughters the UDR but believe as a starter truck and mainly camping fun device the Mojave is hands down the leader for quick maintenance.

Great comparison and I do think if you did either of two things it might just flip the result: 1) stiffen the front (damper oil, springs, or swaybar) on the UDR so it doesn’t roll so easily. The rear limiting straps could also accommodate specific limits if one was motivated enough. 2) take both trucks to a beach with deep dry sand loaded with human footprint woops and see which one’s rear suspension soaks it up vs bottoming out and bouncing around The salient point is the UDR can be adjusted to be far more competent on the test surfaces used here. The other truck’s rear suspension is limited by design and can’t achieve the UDR’s rear travel with any amount or extent of adjustments, for other surfaces requiring it, which are admittedly on the rare end of occasional. Thanks for the vid 👏👏

great job! best comparison on youtube

Cool comparison video. Big like and new subscriber here

Watching your video reaffirms how much i really want to get a mojave eventually, itd look nice sitting next to my reeper, it just drifts so well

Dude... What a video, great job. You make take my decision so clearly.

Great video, i have the Mojave exb with the 1650kv max 6 combo in it. Running a 22t pinion and is an animal...I love it!!!

Looking at all that smoke and haze in the air, I'd have to guess that you are in the lovely inland northwest lol. Great video as always boss!

What a brilliant video you made. It's a joy to watch. Clearly the Mojave is a better handling car due to its independent suspension. Please keep doing these videos.

Another great vid. Thank you. Love my UDR and enjoyed working on it with some upgrades - will take it out soon. May sell my Senton to fund a Mojave.....hmmm.

Great vid, u got a sub… look forward to more…been trying to choose between the 2 for a minute now… Ik what I’m gettin for Xmas this year😂😂😂

You make a really good video, I was having a lot questions about which one should I buy I’m definitely buying the Mojave

Good vid. Subbed! I think the UDR flipping problem is more a driver, and a terrain problem. Not saying you are a bad driver, I just think it needs to be driven to scale... everything you do with the UDR needs to be to scale. If you watch a lot of these in real life, you see the body roll and what the drivers do to manage it. It's amazing to watch!

Well explained. Great job.👍

Hey AJ, Wow, I didn't expect the video so soon. NIIIIICE !!! :) and thx ! It is still a tuff choice man. I just LOVE the looks of the UDR but the handling of the Mojave is apparently WAY better. I don't mind the extra work of the UDR, it's part of the fun of the RC world. Here in Belgium, the UDR comes at 869 Euros. (Yes, you read that right, 869 big ones) How much is the Mojave complete with all the electronics, servo, motor, controler ...? Thx Again for the video Greetings from Belgium, the land of chocolate, waffles and Fries :)

These are tough because the TT/DT/Score style chassis never really managed to reach a mainstream standard like what we get with the RC SCTs which are all currently buggy based. It ends up being very apple and orange. Even within that class, comparing say a UDR and Losi Baja rey would be hard because they differ so much in power and size class. The regular Baja Rey would be too small and the Super would be too big. However that comparison does work better mechanically, since they're all going for the scale design. We also lost the Yeti Score many years ago which might have had promise as a competitor, but alas. It's just a weird space. Good job with the testing. Very informative. Results end up being pretty predictable just from looking at their chassis design. The UDR is vastly more top heavy, has so much travel, and the 2075 RTR servo that can't keep up with its own TSM. The LCG buggy pan design is near universal for a reason here, it just works well, even if it doesn't capture the magic of seeing a mini version of the real trucks. Great technical handling especially on a surface that is at least mostly flat. Most RC tracks are designed around that. Finding a good place for the UDR to shine takes work, like the real thing it wants long straights and sections of woops/jumps with banked corners to cut down on chassis roll. With my Baja Rey I have to go to big dirt lots and there's a mountain bike park that does well with it. On the local RC track it's very hard to drive.

Awesome video I will say yes the udr stock out of the box handles terrible but if you thicken up the shock fluid it will smoke the Mohave in the corners

You put out a great head to head video !!! Subbed !!! I am fortunate to own both of these awesome trucks , I am a short course guy at heart , also have the Senton 6s and the SBR 2.0 . That said , yes , the Mo wins it in the handling department / toughness / ease of working on , however want to ad just a couple small negatives about the Mo , if you are gonna bash this truck hard , stock up on body mounts as they break easy . Second , it does load up with grass / dirt / debri a lot with it being open under body which can easily get small grass into your esc and stop the fan !!! The UDR design keeps most everything out . I did a chassis net cover for my Mo , but ad a motor fan cause now things will heat up under it . Thanks again for the great vid !!!

Also great explanation on what more to "Scale" means. I'm new to RCs but I thought they always meant scaling as in 1/7, 1/8, 1/10... so I always asked my self why do they say "more scaled" if they are both 1/7 haha. Thanks for clearing that up!

Great comparison! Clearly independent rear suspension is superior for handling!!

Great review 🏁 upsetting being a Traxxas guy, but a locked diff in any car isn't great in turns. I think with an open diff it would likely perform better. Subscribed!!!

Great video!

Great video! Any chance you have content on the Losi Super Baja Rey2.0 or its smaller sibling?

The cool factor on the UDR is through the roof! The design is absolutely awesome!

I was debating on whether to get the UDR or the Mojave. It looks like I'll be investing into the Mojave. One thing I did notice though is it seems the UDR has a wider customization horizon than the Mojave, like suspension upgrades, lights and bodies. but if you're looking to bash I suppose that wouldn't be a problem. love the video. you just gained a subscriber for clarifying my decision!

Looks like it’s much easier to drive the mojave hard without it flipping and rolling. Better stability. Either way both trucks look mental!! Great video very comprehensive thanks.

One of the best comparison videos I’ve seen. Thought the traxxas was going to take it when I first started watching. Very nice surprise

I was interested in the UDR big time. But watching this video makes me think otherwise. Seems very heavy and clunky. The Mojave performed amazing though. I’ll have to check out more of your videos. Gave you a follow. Cheers

We need a local open outdoor track like this in my area lol. Thats really nice

The Mojave just looks like it's such a better RC car tbh. I'm picking one up on Friday!

Great video👍!!! Straight axle compared to independent suspension🤔. Independent is going to outperform a straight axle every time especially in cornering!!! Jumping straight axle if it’s straight on 👌. A little off it’s going to roll back n forth making the handling difficult. Looks of the straight axle is awesome but looks don’t buy dinner, winning the race does!!! BTW love both trucks but would definitely pick the Mojave!!! RC away!!!✌️

I'd like to see a maintenance video. You tear it up when bashing but when reviewed afterwards they are spotless. Just curious what you do to them.

I think when you get down to it the UDR handling just like a IRL trophy truck is what does it in. Those things aren't easy to drive. At speed you can park it upside down in a Mexican cactus so easy even the pros who run the Baja 500 and 1000 annually wreck out consistently

New subscriber .. like your channel bro keep it up 👍

Every video on KZfaq I’ve watched of the udr, it’s spends half its time rolled over in the turns. The handling and performance is all in the Mojave favor. The udr has the looks. But that’s irrelevant because there covered in as soon as you run them.

did you leave the shocks at stock ride height or did you adjust the shocks on the UDR?

Can't get anymore fair of a test than this. Excellent video. I own a 6s BLX Mojave, However I still like the UDR very much. The Mojave is definitely (for me) a tighter Daily driver/Basher.

The Traxxas UDR is a Open Desert Racer, not really a short course racer, that’s more the slash. By the way have you ever looked up the actual truck that the UDR is modeled after. It’s the only truck that 4 wheel drive in the sport. They have actual videos of the Model and the real truck side by side.

That udr body is wafer thin... nice truck gave mine to my brother. I'm building a mojave exp. Just as a guide what diff oils are you running I was thinking 20f 200c 60r but being a crawler guy have no idea. Great videos AJ keep it up mate from down under🙃

Hey awesome video, I’m actually thinking about buying the Mojave,, that truck looks bad a**!,,, I currently have a senton 3s and want to replace shocks, is there any you can recommend,,, thanks 🙏

I love my UDR. It is the most realistic basher out there, it doesn't compare with any other RC's functionatlity wise. You can compare all the other baja trophy trucks RC's but nothing comes close to the real trophy truck other than the UDR. If you are complaining about how to access curtain parts an maintenance because it's under the cage this UDR is not for you. I would rather have it under the cage than have it exposed. The Mojave is just like any other RC's out there, like any other toy RC's not the UDR scale and full functionality of a real trophy truck.

UDR is by far my favorite RC. Looks the business and performs well enough for my style of driving. Yes, it can't corner too well and does flip over quite a few times BUT I still think it's awesome and glad to own 2 of them❤💖

On another note, have you tried pulling the spare tires off of the udr and driving it, its putting about a full extra pound to pound and a half directly over the rear axle which will make it also a little more top heavy

Great vid,Thanks! In this video, in Mojave 1650kv 22T pinion?

Lol The UDR isn't a short course truck! The Mojave is. Still a great video!!

10:41 wife looking so confused with the tech jargon LMAO!

Its hard to show on camera what makes the UDR special. Yes its a scale truck. BUT it’s also high performance dosing what it’s intended to do etc. Both are fantastic though!

If I already have a fireteam, would it make sense getting the mojave or should I just get the UDR.

Tuck that t-shirt in more 😂

It was pretty easy to see you were favoring the Mojave in your driving.

Mojave is awesome. Fast. My rear drive shaft came out. Other than that that Mojave is crazy. Fast. U do have to take the Mojave side right fender off to change motor pinion. I run mine on steep hills. Flat ground rocks

The more scale realism you design in cars like these the more attention to scale you have to operate them. I've observed that very few comparison videos key in on these key facts. The udr is not a basher and if you're looking for scale realism the mojave falls short. Apple's and oranges. I might.add that I own a udr and a losi baja raptor rey. Both scale cars. I try and remember to slow down and enjoy the view when I run them. If I need something to pick up the pace, be capable and durable, I pull out my slash which is just a smaller version of the mojave but similar in function and fun.

Hi ,which truck would you recommend for sand dunes .

just comes down to if you want scale or not.

I know it's old video but they both are awesome I. Their own right, my Mojave is stable at high speeds and can bash it hard (owned mine 2 years and only replaced bulkheads) ..UDR is very unstable at high speeds and doesn't really like altitude..but you get totally caught up in how the truck moves and slides everywhere..also very durable..I find it's most durable of the Traxxas fleet I have ever ran.

Awesome video i am new to RC and although the mojave handles better and is easier to work on. i would like to own the UDR somewhere down the road it is beautiful and i feel it drives completely different then most RCs. Still though like most reviews it is for experienced level enthusiast. Someday but for now i want the maxv2, infraction, sledge and talion lol

I had that gold pan RC-10. Broke all time and cost an arm and leg to maintain! Especially when it was funded only by paper route money.

wow stark difference staying upright on pavement. tire traction or suspension?

Can you not make the udr suspension more stiff so it won’t roll?

I have both. My UDR does not flip near as often as yours. Strange

Those spare wheels up and back on the UDR is scale but must wreck havoc on the handling. I wonder how it would do without them.

Kinda wish arrma built something like the udr but I guess losi has that

crazy how the Mojave moves more realstic on pavemet.....it slides so nicly

Is the UDR much heavier?

Owned both,Mojave is superior in every way.

Traxxas udr 1/5 o Losi 1/5 dbx-e 2.0? Cuál es el mejor de los dos

Correct me if I’m wrong but the arma Mojave is intended to be a short course truck while the traxxas udr is modeled after a trophy truck. The handling characteristics of both those trucks are totally different even tho they are both amazing in their own way

Best comparison I’ve seen you didn’t cut any corners. You sure did roost them an the wife. Mojave I’m more into performance.

The regular Mojave vs the UDR would’ve been better for a comparison. The EXB Mojave isn’t even in the same class. The EXB was meant for bashing. The UDR specifically says not to bash.

oh man why do you drive the Mojave with throttle modulation while when you are on the UDR you have little to no throttle modulation?

Mojave is a better truck, but the UDR looks cooler and delivers a more fun scale drive, which is why I bought the UDR, and I will probably buy a Mojave as well, two different trucks for different jobs.

Mojave handles soo much better and so planted like a 1/7 buggy almost

I love traxxas but if i bought a 1/6 scale id go with the arma

Locked diff on UDR does NOT help with handling and cornering

9:40 Hello Tina👍

The toe alignment on your EXB is out of whack one-wheel looked straight and one-wheel look off to the left

The mojave also has sway bars which helps

all my friends sold there UDR's and got the Mojave. the Mojave is lightyears ahead of the udr. at the track the udr can not complete a lap without flipping over! and the solid axle make the truck bounce out of control. the mojave independent rear suspension make it unequal in the short course game!

you should have replace the rear diff of the UDR to a non locking diff so it won't flip over.

Aj you should consider getting some cones !

It’s a scale replica of a trophy truck Not short course They do appear similar However trophy trucks bigger Faster Longer suspension travel and higher center of gravity generally They are for running flat out in the desert not on a prepared dirt track I want to get one for scale appearances You want a basher buy the other Two completely different vehicles with in my opinion different intended usages Try the Mojave against super Baja ray I those 2 would be more fair race

mojave is king hands down i do own 1 stock out the box it flys even on 4s for bash is very good piss easy to work on ive jummped it to the moon no broken bits love it charge up and send it 😉

I really dislike the typical rattle sound that comes from the bodies of trucks like the mojave. Dirt inside the car will also be more of an issue when run without a shroud. I already own a 1/8 buggy and truck I would pick the udr over the mojave because it brings more of the stuff that i dont already have. If it was my only car it would be the mojave due to it's versatility and ease of use.

fact is.... anytime a truck turns over when youre turning it , its because its too soft.. the slash will do the same thing right out of the box.. i put stiff springs on it it never turns over anymore. the same thing will work for the UDR just get stiffer springs its that simple!!!

It's Shan like a diamond

Only issue i see with the vid is a common misconception as the udr is not a short course vehicle it is scale to a baja truck or trophy truck they are similar but are different👍😌

You should taken those two spare tyres off the UDI.. that would made a huge difference to handling .. maybe stiffer oil in the rear .. or reduce ride height a bit ??? . Seems like unfair test .. speed is determined by motor size kv and final drive rate. Since your Mojave u choose the motor it's not really comparing anything.

I was thinking of trading off my Mojave off but after watching this I’m just going to hang on to it …

The UDR flips because it has a rear locker

The UDR is more unique but the price outside the US for these cars is just prohibitive, the Xmaxx costed about 1500$ and the UDR 1200$ ...
