Can somebody tell me what's the innovation here Traxxas has patent pending?? I don't see anything really different here with the rear axle somebody hasn't done before. Patent trolling? |

2. How can you bash a pending patent if you don't even know what it's about? Maybe it's the way they are using the planetary diff to control torque twist? Maybe it's something else. But to right away assume patent trolling shows that you don't understand how patents work. | |

You are a little bit on thin ice coming up with the conclusion that I don't understand what patent trolling means, but (since there are a lot of posts on several forums with people actually accusing Traxxas of patent trolling due to Arrma vs. Traxxas cantilever suspension case) I'm very happy my little own wake up troll got so deep under your obviously Traxxas fan coloured skin. I see a lot of new innovation in this truck and I think it might be the best RTR RC I've ever seen....definitely going to get one. Just don't see what's the thing here with the rear axle and patent pending. Also please, I'm interested if somebody can put out a little bit more detailed info about those "planetary gear diffs" and by what mechanism they reduce torque twist. | |

The Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer Will Blow Your Mind - RC Car Action You can see it in this article. Basically they have a planetary gear set between the drive shaft and in the pinion to add extra gear reduction at the axle. This is to reduce torque twist from the rear axle. It is actually a legitimate innovation...unlike their other patents. I may have to buy finally buy a Traxxas product cause of this truck. But first I will wait and see how they hold up in the hands of others. I see a few things already that give me pause. Plastic 17mm wheel hexes? Really?? Here's to hoping they make a roller/kit without electronics.... Last edited by pman9003; 02-01-2018 at 10:03 AM. | |

And copy that, that is something I can think of justifying a patent pending search. Traxxas webpage and the pic of real axle under innovation section of the UDR page doesn't really talk about that invention... And yes....plastic hex is a bad idea. Another thing that I'm thinking of is the cooling for the motor while it's surrounded by plastics so well. But if it is hexes that you need to replace to make it ok....that's nothing. I don't have a single axial rig that would have worked properly without 500+ in upgrades. Have to say though, I have a 1/16 revo as well, and it is broken all the time. Relative to the size it requires even more upgrades than Axial rigs. | |

The action shots are just incredible. The average person would be easily fooled into thinking it's a real truck. Traxxas.com has awesome, high-res shots. I used the RCCA links because they are forum sized. |

I’m surprised no one has complained about the built in Traxxas connectors in the chassis. I bet with some rcc engineering it could be worked around to use whatever plugs you wanted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

everything you need to know here: https://traxxas.com/products/landing...-desert-racer/ And Traxxas answered my question as according to them the driveshaft on the back is a fully functional spare |

RPP isn't large and I think that's why they aren't always in the first batch of preorders. Now that HobbiCo is out of the Traxxas game I'm guessing Horizon Hobby is your next best bet. Last edited by JatoTheRipper; 02-01-2018 at 12:39 PM. | |

but ill be ordering the Red/Black. im a red/black guy when it comes to cars, SO sinister looking, you may have noticed on iRacing all my cars are red and black. Red (and black) was my second color choice when i was looking for the Z06, but i couldnt stand to be without the metallic. so Silver it was. | |

like everyone else, i would LOVE to have one... (Stang killa SS avatar) like jato said, i wish it was the same scale as the BR and yeti TT. i'm a 1/10 guy and the scale at 1/7 also means its ridiculously out of my price range. if traxxas did the opposite of what everyone else is doing (making BIG versions after normal versions) then i would... do... "things" to afford one. |
