Raptor and X-Ray Update.....and Craftsman disappoints!!!

A new bumper for the Raptor R in hopes that it helps with bottoming out on approach to jumps. Also I throw a trusty Protek fan into the X-Ray X4. Finally, stepping up my tool box game, but disappointed by Craftsman false advertising. www.one10hobbies.com Valley Ventures RC on Facebook

How much do those belt tires for t t 02 cost?
About 50 bucks.....varies slightly depending on where you shop
Anyone know how they attached foam borders to the matts? Thanks😊
Two sided tape
I own both too and I’ll pick the udr any day
How do you adjust the ball diff? I can't find much info on it... I've got a MR-04 EVO, comes with it. Thanks!
@@MFalcon215 I don't know if it's the same on the mr04, but mine came with directions. If you Google kyosho ball diff you can find them online
DANG that’s nice! Big thank you!
Best remote made to date
What track is used here?
Not a particular brand. Just workout mats
You can get a radiolink 6 or 7 channel receiver with gyro and bind it to the MT12. I did it for all my cars.
I race all of my cars - so gyros are not permitted
@@simonj126 I was referring to your UDR and TSM solution
@@brc537 ahh gotcha....however, 3rd party receivers don't seem to get along with the UDR high voltage light kit. So I'll stick with the TQ receiver for now
Does the STRC part for the DR10 fit the RB10.
Useful video thank you - I've done pretty much all the same stuff to mine - one question though - what weight oil did you end up using for damping? I went with 40WT - seems pretty good.
I used the standard 30wt
Nice great stuff.Just bought one can't wait.Thanks for the video.
thanks buddy
I've had both several times, I still have UDR atm. Best RC hands down!
I have watch plenty of footage of setting the steering weight. How far car will actually turn I’m looking for the steering trim tutorial My car goes to the left or right. I want to learn how to set the switches for adjustable steering trim Have you completed this task? Can you please advise Thank you
Here is a talk through on how to set up your switches. czcams.com/video/DcJnIJSHdgg/video.htmlsi=5NB2QhrmJZEx5ZXG
@@simonj126 18:53. This is the video I watched setting up my m12 Since I have watched it 15 times and if you have a minute of your time. 18:53 At this time he totally skips over the 2 switch( steering offset/ center and goes straight into 2 th. This is the throttle and the brake. He never explained how to do the second steering trim. The second switch.
UDR is my dream RC car.
Same!
I been using my drone transmitter for my car.. i need the mt12 i think
Definitely a game changer for me!
@simonj126 at first I thought I needed the extra power since I drive blocks away. But with a lil testing I don't think I need more than 250mw cause video goes out
Hey like your video's great info I race mini-z's too love it best bang for your buck racing you can do my opinion of course...
For the noble with the evos you need to get into the sub trim settings and adjust the levels. I was having that issue until a fellow racer helped me set up my remote. I no longer have that issue. So far I have been loving my Noble Nb4 love that I can have 1 remote for multiple mini z models.
Nice rig! I got a defender and have installed brass Boulder bars (6, injora light bar, injora lift kit 62 grams! Also stainless diamond plate accents all around and next wheels and tires. Injora seems to have the best selection for wheel/ tire combo. Keep on posting
There are a lot of options for aftermarket tires if you can use them for that car.
Depends on the rules of your club or series. We have a spec tire rule at ours....which is a good thing
i❤❤❤❤❤⁸😂😂😊
Hmm I never had that problem but nice car I put a 13.5 motor in mine and got some good jumps
what wheels are those
Just put some washers under the screws
Anything to look out for when swapping the receivers? Should have a new traxxas rx in a couple of days.
There are two channel 1 ports so pay attention when plugging in your ESC into channel 2
Forgot to ask what is the model number for the receiver you used?
This is really good news. Thanks. I loves me some RB10, but I also have a couple of Slashes and I run them all. I just ordered the Traxxas Link. Once I get that going. I'm also going to try your method on my RB10. Just using one tx and being able to tweak my vehicles will be nice. Please keep posting more good info on the RB10
Theyve been screwin up a bit latetly. B7 has a horrid flaw in rear end not to mention folks bending chassis in front. All clear b6.4 nonsense and not rere’g goldy. Not sure where their head is lately. -U10
I got the slash 4x4 and the raptor r I’m looking at this udr very interesting
Can you swap the raptor long chasis to Basic Slash ? I own Slash but i would buy longer chasis And raptor body And fit it to my old slash.Thank you
How do you feel about the UDR versus the Traxxas Slash ultimate
cool
Nice! I just custom painted a P1 McLaren GTR white body.
Let’s see some racing?!!!
Dead of Canadian winter here. Our outdoor track won't be open for a couple of month
Hey there. My dad and I just bought RB10’s and have the same problem. It’s actually the wrong screws. We also bought 2 new Pro2 SC10’s which use the same exact brace and screws (#31509). The screws on the SC10 however have a larger head that actually covers the hole and holds the pin in. I went ahead and bought the STRC hinge brace anyways and those are perfect. Keeps more dust out too. Thanks for the video ! If you look at the hinge pin screws on the back side of the front arms those should have the right size head. Same number 31509.
ive been thinking of getting the Raptor R or the Fiesta ST Rally VXL ..... what you guys think?
I would say the Raptor is more true off road capable. But if you're not into crazy bashing or using strictly pavement or gravel, the Vxl rally is an awesome choice. Our local club runs a Rally class....they look like a lot of fun.
Your UDR sits pretty high... how have you managed that?
Not sure? Stock suspension....minimal preload
Stock hex is a 4mm, unless the defender is different from the Bronco.
You're right....I misSpoke. I have the +1mm (which would be 5mm)
Did you use rear gtr shocks in the front .?
I’ve been watching your vids since I bought the MR-03 ReadySet w/McLaren F1 GTR LM body just like yours. I’ve ordered the MM 2 Type Motor Case Set Part#: KYOMZ217 with the disk damper as my fist mod other that tires.
I've just ordered a new body. There are 2 Lark McLaren's at our club so I want to mix things up. Should be here in a day or 2....stay tuned!
I just got one, same body. I was looking forward to racing. There’s a huge indoor rc place that has a couple mini z tracks, but I found out they don’t have organized racing any more. I plan on still running the track for fun and practice. They do have a lot of other organized racing, so I just ran out and spent about $700 to put together a 1/10 scale Associated RB6.4 carpet buggy. Do you plan on ever building something like an Atomic or GL Racing Mimi z kit?
I will be getting into 1/10 road racing this spring. Likely getting a Tamiya TT02 kit in the next few weeks....stay tuned!
@@simonj126 Nice! They do 1/12 pan cars here too. Those are crazy fast, looks tough.
I had the same problem skipping laps. My channel 4 was turned all the way up. The light was glowing. Once I wired it direct to the batteries the light was brighter and no more skipped laps. The port on the board doesn't provide enough current or something.
Thanks for your comment. Our club just had a weekend race and I didnt miss a lap. No real drain on the batteries eother
Thanks for the info! I’ll definitely be checking thay when my RB10 comes in tomorrow
Stay tuned for more RB10 content. Big plans ahead!
Thanks for the info..I’ve had this installed on mine for a couple of months
I race now just for a quite long time with easy lap without problems in recognizing my laps ! Could it be that you have turned your channel4 knob on the wrong side. We all race with the knob position complete on the left side - please try again!
I will definitely try that, thanks for the tip!
Tried it on my MR03 and worked like a charm. Light is not constant instead of blinking
More Mini-Z content please! 47th sub here!
Will do!
Very good to know.
Thanks!!
Thank you
Thanks for sharing, nice selection of kit there to add to your rig!- agree Injora stuff is great
