Today I'm taking a look at a very cool new release from Horizon Hobby under their Losi brand, the Losi Hammer Rey. Launched as a 1/10th scale vehicle the first thing that immediately catches the eye is the size: IT IS HUGE! Mimicking the Casey Currie King of the Hammers race truck, a Trophy Jeep, it takes a lot of full-size styling cues and branding. Some of the licensing partners are KMC wheels, Nitto tires and Baja Designs. Overall the setup is understandable, and I'd say pretty novelty in it being a larger size truck with an incredible amount of detail. Losi durability and parts availability make this a winner in my book. Now, to run it and after that customize it. I think there are some possibilities!
From the Losi website:
The Losi Hammer Rey U4 1/10 RTR 4WD Brushless Rock Racer Truck has been designed for pure off-road excellence. This truck features an officially licensed Currie U4 Racer body powered by the Spektrum 3150kV motor and Smart 130A ESC. The Hammer Rey sits on scale KMC wheels, Nitto tires and shocks depicting scale reservoirs shocks. Additional scale details include fire extinguishers, functional light bars, interior, driver figures, faux sway bar, brake calipers/rotors, side mirrors, and more. The Hammer Rey is ideal for victory-minded off-road enthusiasts looking for the top-of-the-line RC experience with the inclusion of AVC and the three-position limiting switch. With the Hammer Rey, Losi continues to push the limits when it comes to scale details, performance and officially licensed products.
The receiver's built-in AVC (Active Vehicle Control) traction control system works behind the scenes, making hundreds of throttle and steering adjustments per second, so more of the motor's power is translated into ballistic speed and acceleration instead of just flying dirt. The patent pending AVC system adds a level of performance that simply cannot be found with any vehicle from any manufacturer other than Horizon Hobby. Like traction control in your full-scale vehicle, you can activate or deactivate the system on the fly and adjust the level of stability based on driving conditions. Any RC vehicle can go fast and with AVC you can go faster while maintaining optimum stability in all driving conditions.

Absolutely can't wait for your running video my friend. And what you'll do to fix that paint! 😉
Thanks for another great informative video. Thanks for the laughs! Looking forward to the running video. Keep up the awesome work.
Paint was going to be my first question! Very nice, ready to see you go rip it! Thank for sharing! 😁😎💥
Looking forward to seeing your painting genius at work on this rig
Thanks sir! Got some plans!
Excellent video. I've been running my Green one and it's cool. I'm just using a 2s 5200mah pack. Plenty fast.
Looking forward now to your running video, liking the looks of the Losi truck a lot, the running video will help me make the purchase decision! 🤔
Might just run it in the garden seeing that I have a pretty good variety in terrain here too!
I think big 1/10 scales are just right. Love your videos. Watching all the way from California USA
Thanks for watching! I like the slightly larger trucks too, just gives you more to handle and look at.
I think that thing is cool! The last couple years I've just been crazy about the Gatekeeper (taking mine for a run today), but this one is possibly even more awesome, slightly different of course!
Looking forward to see how you paint it, as always. Would have been cool to have something like this come with clear panels, or as a kit altogether, maybe in the future, who knows...
Can't wait to see your genius mind at work on this one Hemi.
Excellent bro.
Thank you!
On a whim I picked up a Hammer Rey cage to inspire a KOH scratch build with Vitavon parts and my own choice of electronics. shooting for completion by KOH 2024. Learned from my RYFT experience to work backwards from zero rather than start with an RTR and have a drawer full of discarded parts from Upgrading. Thanks for the video !
I remember when I could afford these type of RC's before the economy went crazy 🤪🤪🤪
I would like to try these tyres on the LMT 😀
Always an inspiration and a pleasure to watch 👍
awesome rc and great overview
Cheers, thanks for watching!
@@hemistormrc 👍😊
I think people forget that tenth scale is relative to the original vehicle's size. So tenth scale for a pickup is going to be a very different size than tenth scale for a car or other utility vehicle out there.
I ordered a green one from Horizon great unboxing and review look forward to getting mine dirty will be a nice addition to the Jeeps in my crawler collection I have 3 the axial JT, JLU & Proline XJ on a base camp chassi, look forward to your maiden run & paint videos take care Chris 😉👍
Sounds like a great collection Tim!
@@hemistormrc those are only the Jeeps I mentioned lol 😉👍
Looks cool.
Cheers Steve!
An insane ken block trophy truck paint job would be sick!
When these rigs first came out I thought they were over priced for what they were ….but recently Horizon and Amain have had them on sale .
Picked one up for $317 tax and shipping from horizon.
Then Amain had a coupon also on these Hammer Reys…got another one for $281 tax and shipped…couldn’t pass up the deal.
I actually think they’re much faster than expected and handle ok for the most part…ya can’t take high speed turns by any means but still a very fun rig….i am getting a real sway bar for the rear which should help a lot.
The traction rolls make for a sweet challenge!
Looks good....
To me, the truck is a scale model of a real vehicle so if it is labelled as 1:10, it should be generally close to the proportions of the real one in terms of length, width, height and wheelbase. The driveline is not based on the real vehicle so that can be sized to suit. I love the way the truck looks and I'm sure it will be popular. As soon as I saw it I was tempted to buy one but I have a Losi product from a few years back that did not live up to my expectations so I haven't made a final decision yet.
Enjoyed your video, thank you for sharing, friends🎶👍🤝🍻
I'm waiting on your Hpi Savage X V2 stuff!
Hammer Rey!!!~~~ Thank you for sharing a good video with a nice car!~~~^_^
@7:20 I just got this (my 1st RC car) and I noticed there's a lot of steering play. Is this normal for an RC car? I dissasembled it (somebody forgot to fit in two screws on a metal part that just fell of, good thing I noticed) and I was testing the steering system by holding each part and moving the wheel. I started with the servo horn, then the connecting rod and so on. What I noticed is that each part in succesion, adds a bit more play until I get to the wheels and the play is significant. Like, the cage holding the servo flexes a bit, the servo hub also flexes a bit since the servo's lid is plastic. Then the connecting rod has a bit of play and so on and so on. Since I broke it (front right C hub and slider) I ordered some GPM alu parts to rebuild the steering, hopefully the result will be less steering play.
Need a function sway bar to replace the fake one. Also functioning bump stops would be sick.
Oh it has one! Sits all the way in front on the trailing arm and it works well. 😃👍🏼
Is there any chance I can buy that four slot grille?!?!?!
I'd like to see how you would go about doing a logo the same style as the Bigfoot logo with a chrome reflected look to it
That’s a good idea! If not on this occasion then on a future one. 👍🏼
Love the look and size of this but not really a fan of 10th scale drivetrain in a 7th scale chassis. Hope it turns out to be good and reliable.
1/10 scale drivetrain AND electronics. Skipping this one because of it. I’d rather have a 5mm shaft low kv motor on 4s i stead of high kv on only 3s as well.
The light bar probably won’t last one battery lol least that’s would be my luck …pretty massive for a 10th scale tires look like they are 3,0
Trying to keep it rubber side down to save that light bar. 😁🙌🏼
I am glad to see manufacturer's making tenth scale cars and trucks larger. I have often thought that tenth scale cars and trucks are a little small in the real world. Just Saying. I have bashed my 4tec 2.0 cars for years. I always wished that they were a little bigger. Luckily Traxxas must have been thinking the same thing making them bigger with the 4tec 3.0.
Indeed! I’ve always wanted a bigger on road car and I think this summer I’m building one.
Rad!!!
U can rub 4s lipos change pinion.
Losi have a habit of producing a pretty dialled rig straight out of the box and this looks no different
Indeed they do! Everything feels spot on. 👌🏼👍🏼
It's like the love child of the Mojave and the SBR
Losi are going for scale trucks i like it
Supergaaf Chris!
Dankjewel, ben er erg blij mee! 😃
I don’t think people understand how scale works, if the 1/1 scale is huge then the scale down vehicle is going to be huge too, same with the losi promoto, a 1/1 bike is not huge so they had to make it a 1/4 so it is a decent size but if you compare it to other 1/4 is tiny 🙃
Scale is always just math.
How do you like the hammer rey
Liking it a lot! The size is perfect in my book. Not too small and not oversized either.
It is a 10 scale do you have to look at the size of the truck it's model after
Yes, it is math basically. This one comes out at about 1/7 if you take the wheelbase and track width. Thanks for watching!
There seems to be an awful lot of talk about “scale” but nobody seems to know what the actual scale is which I find bizarre. Whilst I don’t doubt this truck is brilliant, it clearly is far bigger than one tenth the size of the real thing. There are 10th scale land rover D90s with 13 inch wheelbase (it should be 9 inches).
Maybe 1/8 scale like the original wraith
That thing was shocking when it came out. 😁👍🏼
Next….Losi Super Hammer Rey
The(unsessored?) brushless motor works for sh*t crawling in the rocks, and driving it over 15-mph(150 'scale"mph) is sure to break many of its scale features off in easily foreseeable driver errors. It's a Lasernut with a solid rear axle.
Too big, said no one ever!
So true!
First
Bet you are glad to be first, childish.....
Technically my wife was the first, but who is counting. 😄
