I won’t say no. But not right away. I’ve kinda lost interest in my off road stuff over past year. Just don’t have good places. And looking at both this and the Losi, I really don’t have a good place for this style. Baseball field works for the 1/10 Baja Rey. But really too small for these larger trucks.

The SBR will have better grip and will handle better on the top end. The UDR will have less tq twist and will behave like a much smaller rig (and look more scale doing it). I do amire the shock design of the UDR over the SBR, but the Losi's size gives it the advantage in the high speed handling department.
I'm glad Losi didn't just use the 5ive-T chassis and covert it to electric. I'm also glad Traxxas took the high road and went scale with the new rig. As much as people might bash the use of plastic in the UDR, I think it'll pay off in terms of weight. I can see the Losi "feeling" overweight comparing the two back to back.
Regardless...come on Springtime if your a solid axle guy!

OBA. On board audio.
Yeah it was a thing few years ago. Traxxas and Associated has it. There was another similar to the Associated unit. Seen few video where it worked. But in person it gets old quick. Never had one. But local store did. They had it on display and would demo it got customers. Kinda cool first few times. But not for long.

Heck, with the size of these things, maybe its a possiblity.

what traxxas listed before was in stores early march. traxxas still has march 9th as the ship date of the 1st batch(they are demo/display trucks) the 2nd batch should ship 2 weeks after the 1st batch. and traxxas said they won't sell the trucks untill 2 weeks after dealers get their trucks for retail (2nd batch). so nothing has really changed

one area I was thinking OBA would be a benefit coming from a more race oriented perspective is when talking to nitro guys and in general people who watch racing, the sound seems to draw them in. To me at least, that combined with the scale appearance of these vehicles could be pretty cool versus say the lone runner with his OBA.

The other issue with racing then is tracks being large enuff. I’ve only seen 1/8 racing in video. This looks a bit big for them.
