Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer Unboxing First Look & Drive

New to the channel, the Traxxas UDR, Unlimited Desert Racer. I'm one of the first here in the U.K. to get hold of one of the new 1:7th scale desert/short course trucks. I have to say it's rather impressive straight out of the box! This truck is much larger than a Slash 4x4 and weights a heck of a lot more too! Enjoy this unboxing and first drive, there is more to come, just waiting for the better weather.
