Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

Saw this posted on the book face place. Looks like the axial score truck has some direct competition now.

What do you guys think?

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

Niice... I like the aluminium chassis plate and little scale details like the disk brakes... nice touch. Looks like Motor and esc just drop out?? Esc placement is interesting... It's Losi, so I'm pretty sure it drives good. It'll be interesting to see what upgrades appear. Clearly they are trying to edge into Yeti Score sales...competition is good. :) I'll be looking for some hands on reviews.

I like it.

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

Looks like Losi is stepping up! I might have to give it a try.

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

I love the design of the front suspensions and rear axle, the same thing in aluminium would look killer. Maybe it has the potential for an U4 rig with all diff locked and beefier drive shafts.

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

That...looks awesome.

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

Yup, looks pretty sweet from where I'm at.

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

cant wait for it to come out. these are actually way faster than the yeti score.

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

It looks like Losi might be trying to force you to use their ec5 connectors...

Otherwise it looks like a great truck

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

I've never used these before. Are they bad?

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

Nothing wrong with EC5 connectors. Those may be EC3 though so a little smaller. I have switched all of my race stuff from Deans to EC5 and I'll never go back. They stay cooler and dont come apart on a hard landing.

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

I wonder if those two screws mean that connector plate is removable? Looks like they may give the option to run what you want.

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

I was thinking the same thing. They have to make it removable, they don't last forever. The question is, do they have different plates for different connectors? I like the plate idea but I would probably just remove it.

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

Ec3 is my preferred connector, the xt60 is also good, both worked way better than deans for me. Easier to solder, much stronger physical connection, higher current rating, and it's easier to grip when disconnecting.

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

it'd be neat to have an actual shootout between the score and this truck.

from the video on horizons site it looks like it drives pretty damn good.

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

that is the best looking losi product ive seen..
too bad i will probably never own one. losis history of discontinuing stuff scares me away

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

Saw this the other day in email from RPP, looks very nice and better design than Axial's Yeti Desert truck...love front suspension, brake rotors, aluminum chassis plate, drop out motor, rear axle...wow!

Hi everyone. I wanted to share a video of my Baja Rey.

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

based on this picture it looks like the connector assembly is removable with a screw:

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

@Rafael, Can i come by and check out this bad boy! I dont live far! Im planning on getting one. awesome!

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

From what i can see this thing jumps way better than the yeti TT does. I will own it as well!

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

Thats cool! Looks like it can take a beating.
Are they in stores now? How did you get you hands on one?

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

Sorry, only just saw that you are a HH employee in product development in the description under you youtube vid.

Can you share anymore details on the Baja Rey? How is it holding up to the testing? Have you broken anything on it yet?

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

but my question is: is the rear diff locked?

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

From watching the vids on losi Facebook and looking at the exploded view in the manual that can be downloaded from their website, I can see that the rear diff is locked, the diff centre is one of those x shaped things, the front diff is open and there is a centre diff in the transmission between front and rear drive shafts.

One of the Losi guys in the video says the centre diff is packed with grease, but you could put different weight silicone in it if you want to change its characteristics.

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

fill it with jb weld if it is not locked and your done

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

wow i didnt expect a center diff...

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

Not long now, can't wait for the reviews, youtubes and yeti score comparisons!

So much want!

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

yeah. I definitely want one. im sure there is a different rear diff you could swap in if you so happen have the need to put it on a track. clay specifically.

im sure it will handle well. but not as good as a 22 2.0 sct or a 22-4

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

Anybody seen any new info on this? Supposed to be available any day now I think.

Harley has a good discussion video about it.

My son is driving a Slash 4x4 now and I can't keep up with him in my Bomber. I think this Baja Rey is just what I need!

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

I was pretty sure they had already been officially released? I'm almost positive there was a red one on the shelf at HobbyTown in San Marcos, CA when I went in there last week...

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

ULtimate hobbies here in ca is supposed to be getting them today. and i have one on special order! hehehe

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

very little on youtube yet, I guess its just early days. There is a facebook page dedicated to it " losi baja rey"
Not much on there yet either.

Come on guys! Get your youtube reviews and running clips out there!!! We are all eagerly awaiting.

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

Just picked it up. Waiting on my ec3 to deans connectors. It's nice and light though compared to my yeti score truck. I have side by side pics of both that I'll post tomorrow. It looks promising. There are some places for improvement but so far it looks good. Shocks are BUTTER smooth but stock oil seems a bit light.

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

Awesome! Looking forward to some pics and opinion."thumbsup"

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

The Baja is about 3/4 in longer. Steering setup feels a bit sloppy. Im gonna try swapping to an aluminum servo arm to see if that fixes the feel. Someone def has to come out with a set of upper and/or lower arms. The uppers are super bendy! Shocks feel awesome and i cant wait for aluminum bodies to be made. Just the initial feel of the suspension gives it a nod over the yeti but well see how it does on dirt. IM waiting on my ec3 to deans adapter i ordered from amazon. Im trying to figure a way to incorporate the deans plug permanently into the chassis and im sure someone out there will take care of that. Im the meantime ill deal with it. Body off pics coming later on today. Overall, im really pleased with how it looks and feels. I can already see myself putting some money into it to improve some areas. But then again every car out there is a potential money pit!

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

Id highly recommend finding a 1.5mm hex driver key for a drill if they make one! What i did was break my 1.5mm L wrench allen key and still it into my drill driver. Def makes taking the body off WAY easier.

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

Thanks for sharing the sisde by side comparison! You are the first to do this I believe. Here is a sweet fix for the EC3 connector. they sell them on Ebay. Should keep things tidy.

I should have mine on Wednesday of next week! I have a Savox 1258 servo, aluminum servo arm, and a clear body coming as well!

Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck
 

I just saw them on ebay. I actually picked up the one from amazon. I think a 5 pack but the ebay ones look a bit shorter. maybe ill cancel my order and get those.
