Ok, an airsoft field, moto track and rc track all in one? It's literally heaven for my trio of hobbies. lmfao
Who says money doesn't happiness. This rc would put a smile on my face every time I would drive it 😊
It put a smile on my face and my heart was pumpin fast while ripping the buggy around at full throttle!
@@rcdriver Might it be worthwhile to pull this out alongside the Fireteam, and do a video comparison?!? (Before 2022 is over) I would like to know how differently each is, or if they are both similar!
A back to back drive test at your track/jump area where both are potentially out of their elements yet..
(In real world use of what most people will try to do with them)...
I am legitimately *Hard Stuck* on a purchase decision here, and I badly need some help!!!
I do not want to make the wrong decision, only to regret this, and be forever retired from this hobby!
I am dead set on a Fireteam while they are on major sale for 399, OR the Special Edition XRT that my local hobby shop has!
$1900 | 2K for XRT/batteries/charger/tools/tires/aftermarket wingmount/Max6 ESC..
$1K | 1,200 for Fireteam/batteries/charger/tools/tires/Futaba 4PM Trans. & Receiver..
Literally cannot make up my mind which one I want to take a shot at!!!!!
I am a former 1:8 Nitro Buggy & Truggy racer from 2004-2013!!! (I think I am still going to be a very skilled driver)
I have zero experience with these newer Lipo Powered Electric Vehicles!
I have no local hobby shop that is willing to let me "Test Drive" anything!
I have a larger backyard, so space is not an issue!
I have now been out of the hobby for 9 years, and I miss it like hell!
I finally have the time to be able to get back into this! I was used to (long time now) Team XRay, and Mugen for the Buggies/Truggies! (quality kits)
I am only looking to do *Backyard Light Bashing* along with some *Ramp Jumping* .. but nothing too craaazy like we see on here from some of the more wild content creators!
Any thoughts, or ideas to PLEASE HELP ME make up my mind would be super appreciative!
Thanks SoOo So-Much!

Fun video!
We have really enjoyed our Super Rock Rey.
Be warned though, we have already had to put a servo and front spindles on this truck - they are weak from the factory.
Really disappointed. Got mine a couple days ago running two 4s LiPo's. Within 10 minutes, the servo broke. Thanks to you I was able to get a new servo ordered instead of buying another junk one. Earned a new sub. Thanks and happy bashing.
Where can I get two 4s lipo batteries that are compatible on Amazon? And maybe a charger. I’m looking into one
Ugh this is my favorite RC car of all time!!! Mine was indestructible lol had for 2 years before something broke! I just gave it a overhaul with hot racing parts all over! I’ll keep this one forever.. the only issue that I would change is the battery location because the tray always gets stuck or would increase the size where the batteries go because it won’t fit the 6800 mah batteries.. also the body panels are a pain to get off
Looks fun I should have got one ☝️ thanks for the video
Omg I want this car so bad!! Lol my axial yeti score is my all time favorite rc truck and this thing is a yeti on steroids. Go ahead and send it to me lol
Man that looks like a fun, and HUGE truck!
Great video dude , that’s it’s huge, and beautiful, hi from Costa Rica 🇨🇷🇺🇸🤜🏻🤛🏻
Great review and run👍👍
Nice new one from Losi and an awesome and clear presentation
Nice to see they thought this one through. Great video as always!
It needs the aluminum spindle upgrade. The plastic breaks super easy. The steering rack is also a weak point.I love my SRR but I hate working on it.
That looks so cool!
Nice video Greg! 👍
Thanks!!
Very cool 👍
Nice love my 1/10 Baja Rey
Nice!
Those wheels and tires wood look great! On the white arma fireteam
Beautiful video I wish I had more time to play with mine. I got big rock stuck in my steering . An mess up that big servo. To everyone out get extra servo. An do the up grades fans An everything . This thing rocks . She likes to to rollover. Also me job losing. 8$ all day.
Way t o go losi. I love my beast
This thing is worth all the $1000. I paid. This thing can handle the ground. I rum mine on 8 $ an 6$. I took mine in construction site an let her rip. Something happened to my front right shock. It was bent. So I straight mine out. Bit order more. This thing heavy
I got about 10 runs an striped the servo brass gears jus ordered a 5th scale alum servo mount an servo do really like the rig jus haven't got much run time on it due to lack of parts available
Thank you for NOT taking it to a Gd skate park or launching it 30ft high from a formed plywood ramp. I am so sick to death of that juvenescent sadistic abuse of these 'toys' from 90% of RC car content creators I could become violently emetic.
I agree with you there bro.
👍
Looking for a new rc myself. And the other videos of these soft dirt mud rock graval liking beast s . Have no place 50"ft hi....... 👍 Thort and truggys crapps around are for that.....
They are Just Toys and they are Cheap compared to the Real thing so why not have Fun if you have the Funds but if you can’t afford spares go Easy
I watched an AMain hobbies video and the first thing the guy did was take the truck and run it into a fence post on purpose and it absolutely pissed me off. I hate it when people disrespect these machines for no reason at all.
I loved the video and i want one
Thanks!! It's a cool rig.
Your the best Chanel for rc
*Just a note to any future owners while this has a 17mm hex nut the wheels are 20mm hex.....
Nailed it man looks cool
Thank you!
First of all great video man 👍👍 second I hate that transmitter! I've had that in two different trucks you pay 600 to 800 bucks for a nice top of the line truck and get a ten dollar all thin plastic cheepo radio. Sorry guys I had to say it it works fine but feels and looks cheep . One of the cheapest radios out there is the flysky gt3b and that is 10 times better radio than the spectrum I don't know why horizon has to go this route. Anyway I love this truck and also wondering why 8s with plastic drive shafts? Maybe to soak up a little torque? I don't think I've seen anyone has been breaking them but wondering why
At least it's not the STX2 lol. The DX2E... well works. It does have some adjustablity to it to set end-points and you can expand it now with telemetry options (unlike early versions.) But I see what you're saying. I already have the Rey programmed into my DX5 Rugged. Not totally sure on the driveshafts either, but I haven't seen anyone complaining about breaking them either. Nice that the universal itself is metal.
@@rcdriver I like the rugged! I can't wait until they change to something new!
Great video, Love all your stuff. One of my go to sites when I am looking for a review. Wondering what batteries did you use? Looking to get the dimensions so I can see if what I plan on getting will fit.
It looks good man thanks for sharing. I love Losi and I have a 1/10 scale truggy and it has metal drive shafts. I’m sure they know what they are doing though.
Ok so now I’m torn. Xmaxx or Super Rock Rey?
Hello! RcDriver, whats on the table for the summer of 2022? 😁
I thought they were 24mm hex wheels 🤔 The SBR is 24mm on the tire but the nut that holds it on is 17mm. Also the SBR is a 5mm chassis..... Really suprised at all these differences between the two models
Great looking rig but plastic drive shafts. 😝
They're a composite slider with metal universals on the ends. The composite looks like it has a lot of fiber in it for strength. Judging by the coloring of the plastic, it looks like a much better quality than other parts on the buggy. Haven't seen any reports of them failing in groups, but I have seen a number of reports of shattered metal shafts on other high powered RC's.
We have broken one so far in the 4 months of ownership - but it was a really bad wreck that suddenly stopped the wheel. Otherwise, they have been very strong running full power on 8S.
People these days are too quick to judge lol
$600 on sale for March.
I almost bought this rig, I have an XMaxx big boy so I bought the Notorious instead
Nice collection. Choosing which one to run first must be tough. lol
Cool
just picked one up what 8s batteries would you suggest looking for the the largest that will fit
Spectrum 👍🏻
Looks awesome dude!
Thanks!
I love Losi but that car is a little bit to expensive for me😅😂
This one is a bit on the pricey side. But it is a big rig with high current electronics.
I agree they look SSSSSOOOOO bad ass .....but Pricy
@@stifflers69mom1 just save for a bit and you can make it happen
Looks like a great machine really big 8s it just flys....
Most of the action in this video was on 6S. But yeah, 8S just rips!
I want to buy this truck but the cage needs to be easily removable. I have a 1/10 Rock Rey and it is a bitch to get into. The mud guards need to be held on by 4 screws rather than snap-ins. The servo arm is only accessible if you remove the servo itself. A small hole below the servo arm would be cool.
When buy this Truck get s heavy duty sero extra. My spectrum didn't last long also keep an eye o.n front suspension. I crack something up front. This truck is superman on a Friday night dri king beers I wish I had more time driver it.
That thing is bad@$$!!
Looks great, but is it waterproof with the reciever like that? Or the esc ?
Good lookin rig. Hopefully I can buy it one day.
The power this rig puts to the wheels is a lot of fun!
Yeah 8 wnat one too
I meant I want one to
@@rcnation7418 "too" is the correct answer ffs
@@BASSstarlet no one actually cares ffs
Can I ask a question I get the super rock Rey 8s And I have to 3s them are gens ace 5000 11,1v 60c 55.5wh Can you run it on them?? Thanks mark
X Maxx or this rock rey ?
This thing is built almost exactly the same as the Traxxas Ultimate Desert Racer
How....
@@user-dz2jv4in5z Take off the body of both. They extremely similar
@@mdavid22 And no other car has ever been like the traxxas ultimate desert racer?
@@user-dz2jv4in5z I have no idea. I'm commenting on what I own
@@mdavid22 it’s like a brother too the super baja Rey, which is a udr competitor your completely right
This truck looks sick! I have a Kraton 8s and Outcast 8s. This thing looks even more solid then both of those. What's the run time (with normal driving style and aggressive driving style)? I run two 9000mah 100C 4s Lipo's on both my trucks.
I ran mine oass 40 minutes on 6$ every more time on 8$
Nice buggy Amazing accomplishment, it looks a bit heavy, and it dives pretty hard.....need to lose 800 grams from the front of the car.
Is this a good rc?
Just scored a deal $62.99
Debating whether to get this or the Losi Desert buggy XL-E , any advice?? ( price is not an issue)
Ulises H dbxle easier to drive and the rock Rey is prone to flipping
im really want the 1/10 scale rock ray looks really nice
Haven't tried the 1/10 myself, but it looks pretty rad.
I just finished building my 1/10th rock Rey kit!
Rugger 878 I love mine. Personally I don’t see how people break them. I’ve beaten mine and even hit trees In mid air off big jumps.
Should I put 20 million weight in my center diff like xmaxx ?
Are those Plastic Axles in the Front
Hi , did you try the V2 version ?
Thanks
Did you have any diff issues ?
i love losi ~❤ so Amazing car❤
I just purchased one I have run two charges through it and after running it in sand the battery door is next to impossible to unlatch because of the sand have you had this problem and if so any tips
Just sand down the edges of the battery door about a millimeter total. It won't interfere with it staying closed as that is the latches duty. Hope this helps.
Lane Waite it’s the latch that seems to get stuck almost impossible to unlatch
Is this the V1 or V2?
Hi rc driver are you OK if I use a little bit of your edit of the losi on my own channel just showing some clips of the car so it will only be one or two bits 😉
is the rockrey based on the bajarey ?
Yes it is. They use different front a-arms and front axles though.
yuck, seems to land a lot on the roof. That is the one thing i absolutely love about my xmaxx self right. I dont have to go for walks all the time.
Yeah, it did land on the roof more than I was expecting. But it made up for it when the rubber side was down.
Axle type rcs always have their nose first when landing from a jump. U need to throttle it while jumping.
Budrick3Gaming there will always be a time and a place for this car. I wouldn’t be without mine I love it 👍
I just ordered mine can i put tracks on this? lol
Soooo cool bro
Got
hi
Too much work to get to the electronics and to service the Rock Rey.
Trying to like it but it's too darn big.
Can never be to big
Then get a rock rey its 1/10th scale.
put on a timer and let see how long it takes to remove that cage .... sooner or later its going to need removed and it looks like a real pain in the butt
Hey guys I.m ordering a new servo for mine I'm looking at the reefs servo. It's around $409
#7th like
I have two there junk. Rear trailing arm and plastic hinges break. Losi really went down hill when horizon took over. Horizon is ruining everything they touch.
hi my sons name is nolan but his channel is called awesome hockey kid #88 but he is still trying to get subscribers if you could send him some trucks or comment his video or something that would be great
Send him some truck??? Lol!!!
You look a little young to have a son lol.
