Pre-ordered one at 3am from the first batch. Still waiting, and Amain says to expect it in May 🤣 Axles are weak AF, the kit does nothing to address it, and comes with a suggested 2-speed
Can you please tell me what is the stock remote that comes with the Losi Rock Rey? I just got one bone stock brand new but it did not come with the remote and id like for all of its features to work simply because it is a gift for my wife and she loves it but she is bummed that she has not been able to run it. I have asked on other youtube channels but no one has answered.
Great video! I've got a rock Rey. I have put axial beadlocks on it (a bit wider now), SD third member with larger bearing, SD front diff housing, Losi steering rack and servo mount, and fast metal gear servo. Runs great but I only use 2s in mine. 3s just seems "wrong" LOL. It steers tighter than any RC I've ever had! Loves rough surfaces and looks cool going over it!
Dude. You have no idea how bad I want to put the Hobbywing Axe sensored brushless system in the Wendigo. They sell it as a kit, and you could totally put one in it. That would be sweeeeet
me too i just realized the lmt doesn't have the monster truck cage that stays on chassis. It's also kind of a fatso. I know someone who has both and he broke the lmt on the first outing. Then again, it is brushless.
was goin to pick up a rock rey today but got busy so hittinn the lhs up tommarow hopin it a good all around fast trail rig that i can take along with me when campin n fishing crazy u got one great minds think alike lol
@@10thScaleGarage hell yeah i be researchin and deciding for awhile what to get next and just keep comin back to the rock rey was at my lhs they had one and the owner said he make a deal so it was meant to be the rock rey for me lol great vid homie
Picked up a used rock Rey kit/roller with a castle 1415 in it. Just got my mamba monster 8s esc in it and this thing is freaking WILD. I’m hitting over 40mph on 2s. I haven’t had the courage to try 3s yet. And the motor can handle up to 4s 😳
I love my rock Rey like crazy. And I love my red at gen 8. I have been wondering how the wendigo stacks up against the rock Rey. And now I’m wondering if I can turn my second gen 8 pack into a wendigo
My Wendigo is living a much better life as a crawler with a brushed crawler setup (Holmes crawlmaster sport 13t with a Holmes BR-XL ESC and 9tooth pinion)
I have both. Comparing them is like comparing a 4400 class Losi to the 4600 class Redcat. Reliability in the Losi...... just a tough truck. Customer service with the redcat.........
I wanted an indigo but now maybe not. Between the two i’d pick Losi because the material used should be more durable. But price factors weren’t spoken of in this video and Losi isn’t known for affordability especially with what this one was built with.
Well, now the Rock Rey is not an option. What the hell. Wendigo seems to be the only game in town. I think it'll be my first kit. I'm gonna def put the AXE system in it, after seeing the versatility West Desert Wheeler got out of that combo!
Already got a Wendigo is great looking but as for durability it's got issues...a bit of a identity crisis if you ask me is supposed to be a rock racer but isn't, it's not a crawer either it is for just tooling around your yard ...when I first got it was advertised 2s and 3s capable but look now it's only rated as 2s ...strang to me ...but I keep sinking money in it in Hope's it will survive. Cant wait until the Ryft axles are in stock I then can fix it for good....
I’ve only ever run mine on 3S and I got it the day it came out. I lost a steering servo and a tire came off the wheel. That’s it so far. Maybe I’m lucky.
@@10thScaleGarage I beat the living crap out of my Wendigo with a hopped up Castle Creations motor and ESC, and aside from chewing through the plastic gears that have since been replaced with the metal ones and breaking the front bumper running into a post, the thing has been rock solid and fun as hell.
After the video, the Losi cage broke in two places, the Wendigo had a tire come off the rim in one place. After I let it chill for a bit, the Wendigo started right up.
Ya this is the kind of "Average Bashing" I imagined these kinds of trucks would be good at. Need the Arrma Big Rock or similar standard basher to really go any bigger on the jumps. Its so weird how so many people get rock racers and expect them to run like Rich Buperbash lol
Almost every time I get out my rock rey it breaks. Spin the bearings in the front and the diff cups break. Its a shelf queen now. Wish i never bought the rock rey.
@@10thScaleGarage it takes about 2 hours to get the front diff gears. A big pain in the butt! I've rebuilt the front 4 times. I've ran it once in the last 2 years.
dude i have the wendigo and i am loving it. such a beast
The new axial ryft has caught my eye too. More of a rock bouncer.. Looks wise that wendigo is awesome though.
Yeah. Axial is killing it here lately.
Ryft should have been a 2-3s locked diffs not 3-4s 3 diff bouncer

It uses a Spektrum dx3
@@10thScaleGarage thank you so much brother i appreciate that
Was that mud or cow poop.
mud, I hope......
Both are really cool. Great bash session. These comparison videos are my favorite.👍
Just posted another one.

Right? The thing turns on a dime!
Can you still get spare parts for the losi rock rey
Yes.
What's that techno song called I want it
Dang. I can’t remember. I’m sure Siri or Google will tell you.
Love the live show guys do it again soon
We will indeed.
With a sensored combo you think it would crawl well?
Dude. You have no idea how bad I want to put the Hobbywing Axe sensored brushless system in the Wendigo. They sell it as a kit, and you could totally put one in it. That would be sweeeeet
My next rig is the smt10 or Losi LMT, having trouble deciding...
me too i just realized the lmt doesn't have the monster truck cage that stays on chassis. It's also kind of a fatso. I know someone who has both and he broke the lmt on the first outing. Then again, it is brushless.
I vote Axial. Huge aftermarket, and I think it looks cooler. You can always go brushless later.
Damn Wendigo is such a sinister name for a little RC car lol
Right? Same with “shredder” haha.
Badass video guys 👌
Thanks Tim! You’re a VIP!
I think I'd go for the Losi. I've never had a Losi vehicle, and it does look super fun!
They’re quickly becoming my favorite brand.
Awesome video my rc friend 😀😀😃
Thank you!

The one that is available as a kit is the choice
The Wendigo.
Just bought the Redcat wendigo kit. The rtr motor makes it a basher only.
She’s a ripper.
Liking your videos. Good energy & info 🙂👍🏻
Hey thanks! I’m glad you found it!
Nice trucks
Glad you like them!
Great video!
Thank you!
Losi. Although it was really close choice.
It’s a tough decision!!

Assuming you can fit a 4S in it. I can barely fit a big 3S in mine.
Pretty cool
Losi of course, but props to redcat looks Hella fun, I'm bias, I have the super rock Rey love giving it and open bumpy yard and nailing the throttle
I love my rock Rey like crazy. And I love my red at gen 8. I have been wondering how the wendigo stacks up against the rock Rey. And now I’m wondering if I can turn my second gen 8 pack into a wendigo
The wendy doesn’t have portal axels, and the wheels/ tires are huge!!! It’s possible, but probably expensive to get all the suspension bits.
Rock Rey or arrma granite?
Rock Rey.
@@10thScaleGarage perfect, thanks!
OMG YIU NOW YOU HAVE 9k
Crazy, right?
I think I started watching on my Nintendo switch when you had 3k and then I made a UA-cam channel on my phone and then subed to you
It's up in the air , I think it depends on price .

Well said. I totally agree.
That Losi can take some abuse!👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾
For real.
The losi rock Rey’s rear axle is locked
The Wendigo all the way!
Heck yeah.
I really enjoyed that both are nut balls just better control with the Losi
Yeah, that independent front suspension is sweeeeet
Losi for the Win. Redcat has always been a good backup plan though.
Agreed.
The rear axle is locked
You’re right! Good looking out.
Dude that was a fun video.. You got some mud out there. Here everything frozen solid.
It was frozen when we started filming.......... that poor Losi is a mess.
losi rock rey for me bro. awesome bash session my brotha 💯💯👊👊
Hey thanks! I’m glad you dig it.
I loooooove my rock Rey! Oh but how I hate opening it to work on it. Some guy I saw had modded his to make it easy to work on
maybe the power switch is bad had lon the windego ot of them go out especially if ya got it wet and man you got me excited to get my rock rey
I considered that also. I jiggled the crap out of the wire. We’ll see tomorrow
@@10thScaleGarage What happened with the Wendigo? Bad switch, or maybe a bad ESC?
Late to the game but love the wendigo 4real!!
Me too! I recently broke the rear input shaft…. Still waiting on parts.
That hat is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you.

Wendigo $379. I paid ~ $325 for the rock rey on sale.

Losi Rock Rey
losi got a lcg design🤷♂️ wen tires r way too firm it bounces back hard.
Send me the one you like the least...lol,just picking,both are awesome
Bro. I got the Losi for $320. Freakin score.
@@10thScaleGarage wow,that's awesome
Put sensored combos in them and retest.
I want to put the axe system in the Wendigo
@@10thScaleGarage can't wait to see it
Losi
I feel like that isnt the best comparison. Solid axel vs ifs.
Maybe I’ll do another one of the Rock Rey vs Axial Yeti.
That wendigo does look good but redcat reliability scares me.
After the video, the Losi cage broke in two places, the Wendigo had a tire come off the rim in one place. After I let it chill for a bit, the Wendigo started right up.
Well they both sure look fun. With the abuse that rock rey took I definitely think it could survive me just cruising on some rocks haha.

I have the big rock. It’s a beast. Never thought either one of these would be as good as the were at bashing.
LOSI!!!!
Whoop!
Losi because it survived.
It took a beating
It took a beating!
Losi, fo sho!
She’s a ripper.
Red cat
Almost every time I get out my rock rey it breaks. Spin the bearings in the front and the diff cups break. Its a shelf queen now. Wish i never bought the rock rey.
Oh dang! I broke the cage on mine. It was super cold that day though.

I abuse my rock Rey. Fortunately the only things that I've had to replace is front shocks. And a ESC fan
The wendigo stock pinion is a 17t I run a 11t pinion when in crawling with my wendigo
Right on.
The video is so cool. friend
Become a thriving channel.
Let's get along.
친하게 지내요. 😉👍😉👍😉
Thanks!
Wendigo
Good choice.
The Losi is an absolute beast!!
redcat wendigo
It’s a winner for sure.
Windigo
It’s a beast.
I love both vehicles!
Me too!!
Rock Rey discontinued
No!!!!!!! Why god? Why????
Had the Losi didn't like it
Easy Losi rock rey
The thing is an animal!
First
Thanks for having the bell on!
Why would you put that truck on your bmw,
I always make poor decisions. That’s how I roll.
