They both look hideous.

I'm new to this type of racing so I'm excited for them to get started, but I also want to get into different classes and do the original. I think it's great to have options but I agree this new Mud boss is for us starting and should be it's own class

Should try the Hoosier tires on the old school car

We might give that a shot. We did swap S1 kumho’s onto the new car. That really freed it up. It picked up 4/10ths of a second

I've never broken a stock axle, but I have twisted them in big block. In four years of racing mud boss I actually just broke my first part last week, a rear hub carrier.

You guys need to get them on the BIG track. Thats where they'll shine. That bull ring aint cutting it for those large cars. Or get them over to ultimate this weekend.

I’m taking it over tomorrow to try out. So we will see. I agree. The car is made for big tracks. Not the bullring.

Great review. I didn't expect it to be faster than the OG Mudboss... But when you're first getting into racing, sometimes it's better to have something that's not stupid fast so you can learn how to control the car.

@@WorksOfOz exactly! It’s better to have something that is easy to control and doesn’t take a lot to setup

Y'all might want to do some more explaining why the 4x4 bellcrank is such a problem. I heard you say it limits throw, but if the car pushes, even more slip angle isn't likely to reduce understeer. The new one doesn't have the tuning time, so I'd like to see how it does after more track time, and how it runs with the Salvas body. I predict that all of the Traxxas Mudboss changes eventually become the standard for all Mudboss racing in a few years, but folks have the option of bodies and tires, at the very least.

@@guest6423 from everything I’ve heard and read, the HD bell crank reduces steering by 20%. On a tight oval (like the one we ran at), there are times you are 100% dual rate. This car did feel like it needed to have the wheels cranked to the left, just a little more. Personally. I tried the black bell crank, and was told the car just won’t work as good with that and the HCG. When I changed back to the stock white, the car felt a ton better. One thing I’d like to try, is pinning this bell crank. I know people would pin the stock white servo saver, but I went with savox servos, and an aluminum horn. So never fooled with pinning. I think your prediction is spot on. This new car will take over. I only hope we get a North American rule set and we are all on the same page.

I know all these guys. Great group of guys. To answer your question I am both OG and Midwest. My personal belief is they both have a purpose for us guys that really don’t want to spend the money for the more expensive brands.

It is a good car. Not the same as what we are currently running. But, with that, it loses all the baggage the current car has and is a great jumping in point for new people. Yes, it might not be fast out of the box, but it drives well for a new driver

@@seans.9340 why is that? You know by naming it Mudboss, it was going to be compared to the OG car. If it was MWM or Oval racer, it wouldn’t have had as much scrutiny. Personally I feel the car is a good deal, considering how much all the components cost. They are selling like crazy around here though. So it’s good for shops and hopefully good to bring in more drivers.

I like them both. Has anyone tried putting the white slash bell cranks in the new car to increase the steering?

How about running them with the same tires as the established classes? Salvas seems like it has more down force, but tires could be key.

@BloodlineRC

5 күн бұрын

I do agree. I’ve heard some drivers say these tires work better than our current S1 or shave stock kumhos. We found putting s1 kumhos made these cars close to our Salvas car

Yes axles broke all the time even the have duty axle is going to break after some hard runs

All this negativity makes me really worried about a hobby that was meant to be fun and make you smile. I have 2 of cars plus a full custom SC mod and there all great but none of them were as smooth and easy to turn laps with as the rtr mudboss it truly is a treat to run

Great video you took a truck you race regularly that you have setup to your preferences and are just overall used to vs a relatively box stock truck i believe the new mudboss will in time outrun all of the old ones hands down weight only slows u down taking off coming from a racing background where i was 40 to 60 pounds over weight where u only had to be 300 and only ever losing 2 races in 5 years weight doesnt mean anything give them time and a chance and i believe they are going to be an amazing class anyways great video because in the end they are different vehicles and there is no fair comparison

You are right. They are 2 different cars. As it’s shaping up, many are being sold. Local shops are running out and there is a lot of interest in running this car. The best part, almost everyone wants to run it box stock. Hopefully it brings in new drivers and gives the entire field a car that could win any race. It’s cool that almost all of our NY, NJ, PA tracks are adopting one rule set. So we should have a dozen tracks that this car can run at.

Good question. We haven’t touched that yet. But, we are thinking, we may need to go slightly higher than what we are currently using. On the Salvas I’m RF 37.5, LF 25, RR 45, LR 30.

Apples and oranges, tune the midwest modified and dial it in, it will turn better with rx and servo upgrades/shock setup. It doesnt look bad out of the box to me.

I'll take 1 of each

I also run JBody. Great looking bodies for sure.
