Initial impression is that it looks worse than a 1/10th Rock Rey to me.

We need scalers that size, not more bashers.
Something where a mid / large 2.2 tire look like a factory sized tire.


Now get out of that box Losi, my retired LCC need a active brethren.

I'm not sure why anybody is surprised by this. The success of the UDR meant that others would follow. Expect to see a Super Baja Rey real soon.

Meh, doesn't look that great in my opinion. The front fender arches seem too high up and setback from the front tires being the main complaint looks wise. They don't flow with the rest of the body lines at all. Somebody really needs to do a U4 rig with a high/low trans in it also. I'm sure it's fun for bashing around at high speed. But with tall gearing and a sensorless setup, any crawling is gonna be a cogfest. Give us something like this, with a dual range trans in kit form that we can pick our own electronics.

A guy always hopes these hyped releases will turn up something that he's stoked on. While this certainly isn't that for me, I am sure it would be pretty fun to try.

when i was researching and building my rock rey, this was the first thing i was gonna do, cut off those Can Am SXS front fender arches. but sadly when i got it in my hands those arches come within 1/4" of both the a pillar corner and the shock tower hole, leaving almost no material/strength. so i was forced to leave them

nice tires, look more appropriatly sized on the big one.
everyone complained that the 5.8" tires on the 1/10 were too big. and i agree.

Well it's nice to see Losi at least followed through and made a RR / TT out of the same platform when Axial didn't with the Yeti XL. I was curious as to what differences the SRR and SBR might have so I made a general comparison chart between the "bigger than 1/8 smaller than 1/5" trucks with their given manufacturer specs.

Nice Excel work. Your chart just made me realize the Super Rock Rey has a 750kv motor!

6S is more than enough for this weight.

I like it

Any alternative to the Yeti XL that doesn't come with a really bad transmission design is a much appreciated addition to the hobby - take note Axial and at least give us a kit that fixes your boo-boo

Wow, she's a big girl. That puts things in perspective. The regular Rey isn't the greatest crawler but with big brushless power it's an unstoppable basher, so I can only imagine what the big one is like. I kinda want one now.
