The SBR seems to have gone down ok so far, all I’ve really seen is a few electric issues, the chassis is solid tho

Yea the main componants seems fine, the size and price are brilliant too in comparison, it just doesnt look as good or scale when parked next to the Traxxas. That personally doesnt bother me, but the scaleness is a huge part of this genre. Suppose you can add some accessories

There's vid of a trailing arm being ripped off the rear axle. Snow on the ground, so could've been cold-induced, fully alloy option would be nice.

Wrong thread, I'm referring to the SBR.

Yea but the UDR doesn’t have working light bars lol, I’m sure I could bodge on a couple scale fire extinguishers on the cage somewhere, but things like that don’t really bother me either

For me the Losi is my choice out of these two. However all this faffing with companies, parts availability and prices etc has put me off. I was 100% getting either one of these trucks when I first saw them. Now I think I'll just get a new paddleboard instead and see nearer Xmas. Just have to make do with the Yeti for now!

If you wait that long Traxxas would've upped the UDRs price and Horizon Hobby would've discontinued the SBR :lol:

Just been to wheelspin

Its dissapointly small in my opinion! Revo 2.0 looked good though

The size isn't comparable to the Losi, but still big enough.

I watched a teardown vid yesterday and I'm not keen on the reduction diffs, eight tiny bearings in each one, that's a lot of components that can fail. Still an impressive rig though.

RCSparks has just done a vid, his was free from Traxxas, too snowy to do much, but he did show the paperwork that tells you it's NOT for big air. Someone needs to tell Mr Talbot! :lol:

I could live with the size if it was £600ish Its not its £839. Honestly in person its sooo disappointing. I think once the issues are ironed out with the E-Revo 2.0 it'll be great, its looks sooo nice
