When working on my Losi Hammer Rey, I suddenly felt inspired. The wheelbase looked like the Arrma FireTeam body and cage would be a perfect fit, and since I'm a huge fan of side by side off-road vehicles, the plans for a new build were born: a Losi PolaRey. Using the chassis components of the Losi Hammer Rey with minimal modifications, adding a few CNC machined parts to adapt the cage, I set out to work. And this video is the second of three in which I will walk you through a process of how I built a vehicle that on its launch had a lot of people thinking this was an actual new release by Losi. Despite it being a little joke, a prank, a gaffe, or whatever you want to call it, I hope my release inspires you to get creative with existing components to create some fresh looking new RC's.
In this second assembly episode I walk you through my interior panel modifications, the ESC relocating and the braces I made to stiffen up the rear shocktowers. There are also a lot of parts that I found can easily be adapted to work very well on the Arrma FireTeam cage and body panels, like the helmets, the radiator, the entire light kit and even the Magnaflow exhaust system. A little creative thinking can go a really long way!
The description from the"Unboxing", which of course was entirely written and made up by me:
Right before the end of the year, a brand new vehicle hits the HemiStorm studio, the Losi PolaRey! Modeled after the popular side by side off-road vehicle, this 1/7th scale Polaris RZR replica is ready for your scale trail, dune and mudding adventures. Description as found online:
"The Losi PolaRey combines Losi durability along with scale looks into this iconic UTV replica. Seen often in the dunes of Glamis, the trails at MOAB and the grueling off-roading segments at King Of Hammers, the Polaris RZR Pro R is a popular base to customize. We have already set the tone with a custom roll cage, MagnaFlow exhaust system, Fox Racing shock absorbers and a full Baja Designs light kit. The PolaRey is ideal for adventure-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 PolaRey, Losi continues to push the limits when it comes to scale details, performance and officially licensed products."
Powered with the known Spektrum 130A waterproof ESC which is paired to a 3150kV brushless Spektrum motor, the Losi PolaRey is the latest in the line of 1/10th scale Losi Rey vehicles. Advised is to power the vehicle with a 3S LiPo max, and swapping batteries is easy with their unique back loading battery system. The PolaRey stands on licensed Interco SuperSwamper tires which are 5.4 inches tall, mounted on a tough design 1.9 sized wheel. An overload on scale details like a radiator, brake discs and calipers on each corner, a detailed interior panel with a driver and co-pilot, exhaust system and shock reservoirs complete the look of this all-new vehicle, setting the tone for 2023. Horizon manages to inspire with their product range once again, triggering innovation and creativity.
I hope everyone had some fun with this, that it got you talking and that you hopefully feel inspired to go build and create something fun!

Definitely something to be proud of! The thought and engineering to get all those components to work together is amazing! Thanks for sharing this with us! Awesome job Chris! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🔥
Thanks so much for the compliment! Glad you like how it turned out!
This build is really incredible and definitely something to be proud of. You really demonstrated how you can build something no one has with parts you might already have collecting dust somewhere. And it shows they could very easily change a few things on the Fireteam to give that platform appeal to a wider audience.
I can not emphasize enough how amazing the Fireteam parts are. Glad you like it so far!
I didn't email Losi because I didn't exactly have the money for it but you had me fooled lol, a have a question, did you ever find a 17mm adapter that would fit this truck, I've tried several and no luck.
Will have a look and report back!
Looks good minus the tires. They are more a crawler or jeep tire. While SxS's like to get muddy swampers like the tires you have arn't typically used.
Couldn’t agree more, but it was the only super talk 1.9 I had laying around. I would probably not use a cutting board to mill chassis components either the second time around, hahaha!
This is a good use of that car. It’s impressive. I need to get one of the hammer Rey
You won’t regret it, great ride!
I have weird question but are you able to recreate Can Am Maverick Energylandia Team livery for Traxxas Slash 4x4 with JConcepts "Truth" body?
(I would pay for body, painting and transport to Poland)
Unfortunately I don’t do any commission work, but there are a lot of amazing artists out there.
I love what you created here hahaha.
Even more so... I love the craziness that happened after the first video hahaha.
Great work man.
It was overwhelming to say the least, hahaha!
That's amazing thing you did there...losi should make that thing forsure...its sweet.... Cant wait to see you rip it around .... God bless
Looking forward to that too, thanks for watching!
That is the most outstanding RC vehicle I have ever seen Chris. I really hope someone will team up with you and release your ideas and make a vehicle like it for people to enjoy. I would sell my entire 40 year RC collection just to get one of those. This project is off the charts Chris. I know I say that about everything you do which is true, but I absolutely LOVE this vehicle. You are a modern day Einstein! I personally would really like to see more of this type of vehicle from you Chris, as there is nothing quite like it. Outstanding job my friend. 👏👏👏
That’s a super kind comment, and it made my day. Thank you so very much for your kind words! 😊🙌🏼
i thought it was funny as he1/ ppl fighting like cats and dogs on fb about how losi stole arrmas idea .....those errma fanboys be hardcore 😆
Hahahaha! I got the popcorn out. 😂👍🏼
Smoothest voice and accent on UA-cam, and a top tier scale builder. Hahah GG, bro.
😂🙌🏼
Just so inspiring Chris! Fooled me!
Looks great Chris !! I love how you can creat a vision of what you want to do and execute it to a near flawless state ….. hopefully horizon can take into consideration of your work since you now have an established channel with the amount of followers you now have …..
Fingers crossed, glad you like it!
Bro, you always do such stunning work, I always look forward to your next drop. Not sure what planet you're from, but I do not possess such artistic talents, so I live vicariously through your little alien fingers (if that is what you call those). Cheers man, thank you, as always for inspiring the rest of us to strive higher!
You should be proud, this Rzr is so incredible, you have created the coolest RC SxS around! Hell, I'm proud just to say I follow your channel, your shop must just ooze pride. 😁
I appreciate that! Thank you for the amazing words!
It convinced me. I thought the tires where an odd choice for Losi to make. I also thought, ‘if he says it’s coming out, why wouldn’t it.’ It is a really impressive build, but most of your stuff is top shelf.
I am in the middle of changing up my Baja-Rey. I’ve been procrastinating on the style direction I am going to take.
Have fun with the rebuild!
What u did with the trucks, ultra amazingly awesome!
Thanks a bunch!
Wild build. Losi makes some quality rc trucks. What you did is something else!!! Horizon isn't going to sleep on this. The fireteam was a failure, this could be a chance to save face🤦♂️
The Fireteam is amazing, perhaps minus the squad. 😃👍🏼
Empty seats with the option to fill them!!!
Awesome job definitely rocks had a lot of people fooled and definitely looks excellent keep up the great work and wicked paint and builds
That Arrma body with the 3 gun toting passengers is the RC of choice for Meal Team 6.
Really enjoying this this build and your always inspiring 🏁🏁🏁👍.
Awesome build. Truly one of a kind.
How much for the stock Hammer Rey body?
Outstanding work I do not need to say more
😃🙌🏼
Bro, your brain works on a whole different level ! This complete build is making my brain itch !! 🤣
Hahaha! Thanks!
@@hemistormrc your builds are top shelf ! Keep up the great work!
I would be immensely proud of creating something like this. If Losi does do something like this, and they should, I mean you've already mapped it out for them, they should be paying you royalties 😁 Love this build, can't wait to see the next/final video for it!
Thank you for the support, final video coming soon!
Best RC build of 2022
That is very kind of you, thanks!
Absolutely awesome! Love it!!
So when do you start working full time for Losi? Er, Horizon hobbies as their lead engineer/designer? Lol
Wouldn’t that be mind blowing!
@@hemistormrc Hell yah!!!!
I like yours better lol
I am loving this.
Let’s see it drive
Nice...
I love how much attention you've been getting with this build. Great job. Cheers!!
Thanks Carl, it got a tiny bit out of hand, hahaha! 😅
I always look forward to another he hemi storm video your imagination with rc,s is amazing
More to come!
great project Chris, keep it up I love it
Thank you, Daryl! I appreciate it!
