Thank you for the comment, you are correct using the term captured on our end was incorrect as they are not captured by a nut. The Proline or STRC upgrade is for sure captured. What we were trying to say is that the pin connected on both outside points of the arm to take away flex compared to the old style design that sat in the middle of the arm

We think you are bang on! The brushed models have a bit more of a vibrant and high impact scheme! The pink is by far the colour we are most interested in seeing in person! Thanks for the comment and tuning in

Thank you so much for the kind words and we hope that you have a ton of fun with your new Rally VXL!!

The BL-2S does leave a little to be desired, but at least it isn't a 12T Titan and XL-5. It will be interesting to see how some clubs will work these models into the race rotation and allow big power to them

Thanks for the sub!

That is one of our personal favourite colour schemes of all of the new re releases this year but both on the rally VXL look really good

Chris is always having fun and testing trucks to the absolute limit!

Thank you! Chris always tests trucks to the absolute limit especially when we are testing new products

They retail here in Canada for $699.99 + taxes

@@ultrarchobbies Do u do a giveaway?

This is a very similar scaling issue we find with the 1/10 short course trucks as well. They look very large in comparison to most 1/10 models and with the Rally using a Slash 4x4 LCG chassis it is quite a large platform

You can for sure upgrade some drive line components like driveshafts from many different companies like MIP and Traxxas. The electronics can be upgraded to a different motor and esc combo with the possibility of upgrading to something sensored to run in a specific class, servos can be upgrade as well as radio system. Our best advice we can give is look for a local racing class and see what they offer for classes and update accordingly for what class you want to run

​@ultrarchobbies unfortunately where I live we don't have anything local going on. I have multiple friends interested in circle dirt track racing. Pretty sure no one up north where I live knows what an imca modified is haha!

​@@ultrarchobbiesI was talking to some friends. Told them I wanted to build 4 or 5 tracks in town in different locations all real tracks to scale and have a season. Keep them stock other than tire grooving and shock weights. They think they will be to slow to enjoy. Any suggestions?

This is always a the hard part about getting over the stigma of stock racing with it being slow. That being said it is always easier to get new people in when the car and battery are the main investment to go have fun and come and try it. When you start forcing people to buy the car and battery and then tell them they need to spend anywhere from $200 - $500 in upgrades that replaces most of the factory components it makes it much harder to grow to new enthusiasts. Many places we have looked into have put a true spec class together for this car and seem to be having good success getting new people to come out and play. Some offer pinion ranges depending on the size of the track, some are keeping it very stock other then radio and receiver changes (which can be a very costly upgrade depending on what you go with) and then allowing tuning with shock oil. There are many ways to police it but the biggest thing to get people hyped will be getting a car and track setup that people can come and have fun and see what the car will do, the rest tends to take care of itself

@@ultrarchobbies thank you for the insight. I will definitely be getting one of these In the very near future.

We agree 100% this truck should have been what was released 4 years ago as a updated Stampede and possible with the name Stampede 2.0 to save some confusion within the lineup. The new gun metal colours are super nice outside in the sun and really have another level of detail for a rtr body

We have been following a couple Facebook pages that run the original "mud boss" factory class and talk general setup for rc dirt oval cars which seems to be pretty solid information. Until we get the Mud Boss out to more people June 21st would be hard to say the exact things to do for this car

Thank you so much! We are pretty jazzed up about the new Mudboss as well!! What colour did you go with?

We feel the same about all of the colours!! With the addition of the GTR shocks colour matching the body is just a small thing that takes it over the top in our opinion! Enjoy your new car!

Thanks for the question - 1c would be charging at 5amp as you would be converting the mah (5000) into an amp hour number. I’m our recommendation we always suggest to balance charge at 1c for maximum life out of any battery

@ultrarchobbies thanks for the reply, would it be safe to charge it at 5amps? Im new to rc stuff haha

We have had very mixed reviews on the clipless body mounting system, this system doesn't seem to fall off on hard landings like previous models of the clipless from Traxxas. But the one large complaint if you are running in lots of mud is that you have to reach in fairly far under the body to get to the clipless latches and they pack up with mud which can make them a bit tricky to get off. It seems like the bodies sit at a very similar height of the clipless bodies so you probably won't gain to much for the body not to rub

@@ultrarchobbies thanks for that reply! i bought the new updated version i love it!

Thanks for leaving a comment! The new updates are nice to keep the platform current with the other models in the 4x4 VXL lineup, but you're correct nothing to major changed.

Thank you for the comment! Now with the K10 being available in black as well the colour choices are tricky

The lights add a very nice touch for the scale detail but the winch for sure takes it over the top!!

It is a great truck with the extra length over the stock Slash 4x4! Plus getting the EHD kit pre installed is a bonus!

Thank you for the comment! We have have had amazing success with the Xray not only in 1/8 scale but also with the 1/10 scale cars as well!

Thank you for tuning in and leaving a comment!!

Oh great choice! The red is super nice and it looks so awesome outside in the sun!

@@ultrarchobbies I switched some stuff out before I even ran it. Yup, it worked out really well : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rt1jl9Byup20kok.htmlsi=IGbHrkjeeFUaXtkm

Thanks for leaving a comment! That is an awesome choice!

Thank you, for us being a small channel we have to buy all of the product we review and want to be 100% honest with the product we are given as people are spending their hard earned money as well

Thanks for the comment, as far as we know our supplier in Canada has asked us to RMA all of our Sr-7 cars to send back to them until they get this issue rectified. We have taken out all of the stock electronics out of ours so we can still play but it seems to be a larger issue then initially realized.

All I heard about so far was the esc coupled with the deans plugs catching fire, the diffs needing to be serviced and that weak servo. So it’s not team associated that asked for yours back, seems everyone but them are trying to do the right thing 😮

That is correct it is our Canadian supplier that has asked for them back

Please let us know what electronics you end up using, I was thinking about Hobbywing max 8? I’m also using a Spektrum receiver and radio. Glad I found you guys!!

We ended up putting in a Max6 from Hobbywing with a Power HD S25 brushless servo and for a heads up we have found out that the stock servo horn is 24t and did not fit the Power HD servo. So we also had to upgrade the servo horn as well

Thank you again!

Thank you again!

We are very interested to see how the esc fiasco plays out and hope they get it figured out quickly. This car does have quite a bit of potential but there are for sure some underlining issues currently

Thank you! 👍

@@ultrarchobbies Any COW RC orders happening yet?

We are just waiting on a couple customers to get their large orders in and it will be placed!! Very excited to have their great products back in stock

We are very excited to get this beast outside and start to have some fun!!

From what we were told by Traxxas all the TRX4 and TRX6 models will be able to pull the boat trailer

Bls2

You are correct and thanks for pointing that out. When this was released we didn’t know that a full VXL version was coming and assumed that this was the only version that was going to be available like the previous brushed model. But we were totally wrong lol. Thanks for the comment

100% agreed!!

Thanks for the comment! Brushed motor will be clean waterproof but once you add mud and other debris it can really harm the longevity of the motor. If you clean the motor after lots of muddy conditions and add a light amount of oil on the bushings it will far increase the life of the motor

They are available from the Ultra R/C Hobbies website - ultrarchobbies.com/product/boat-trailer-spartan-m41-spartan-sr-tra10350/

The standard Mercedes would stick out a smidge but the hauler would have quite a bit of the bed protruding from the top of the backpack as it is much longer

Congratulations on your new truck! What colour did you go with?

Thank you! It really looks awesome

Thank for the comment and checking out our video!

Thank you, yes we are actually working on one as we speak! You are still in need of the Udder Butter?

Oh we are sorry to hear that you have been having issues with yours. We would recommend to call Traxxas as the seams of the two halves sounds like it missed quality control. As for the shaft leaking water, adding a little grease to the flex shaft which should be re greased every couple of runs will hopefully fix that up

What colour did you go with? We have found some hit or miss luck with the self righting as well.

Great choice!

It is a very cool boat, hopefully we can get some more running footage soon
