That's the reason this thread was started so everyone can chime in with aftermarket parts. "thumbsup" |
Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread Yep, that list looks pretty well up to date at the moment! Don't forget about Losi's upgrades as well. Losi Trailing Arms #LOS334006 Losi Rear Shock Tower Set #LOS334004 Losi Rear Upper Aluminum Links #331004 Losi Rear Link Mount #LOS334002 Losi Rear Upper and Lower Link Mounts #LOS334003 I think that was all of their upgrades not already listed. |
Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread |
Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread Is anyone making a billet front bulkhead/diff housing? I think this may end up being a important upgrade especially as it's a huge pain to get at! |
Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread Nobody yet. Trust me, I've been asking, but don't let me stop you from hounding manufacturers to make one! That really seems to be the last piece of the puzzle for making the BR/RR bombproof. |
Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread 100%. A billet bulkhead and the MC or VP rear should make this thing a tank and probably really happy at crazy 3S speeds; probably near bulletproof on 2S with the RR. The centre gearbox could be a candidate after that (as it's very flimsy) though maybe not as no one is so far reporting issues there. I will definitely buy the front one simply for peace of mind even if I don't get any immediate issues as the time to pull it down and the cost of chewed out gears will quickly pay for it. |
Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread I just hope whoever makes an aluminum front bulkhead, uses bigger bearings (dual 5x13). |
Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread Metal Concepts has a rather beefy looking diff housing which I'm interested in long term though its apparently 1/2" shorter width wise than the Losi diff (this probably makes little to no real world difference) and uses Axial HD gears. It's not cheap but it comes with custom HD axles, bearings and HD gears all included. I wonder how different (strength wise) the HD Axial gears are to the Losi ones? I also wonder if the diff output fits the Losi driveshaft. |
Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread But why? Just to use axial HD gears? After you install bigger bearings and set the mesh, the gears are fine. Im sure someone will release HD gears if needed. Just pick up a VP housing and be done. |
Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread I honestly have no idea as I didn't make it but I figure it's made for a Yeti but tweaked for the Losi's. From what I saw, all the BR/RR gears are already hardened HD bits and none need replacement. I'm not sure if the Losi's gears are stronger or the Axial are. The MC axle seems like a reasonable deal with all that stuff and looks seriously beefy and overbuilt. I'm not personally keen on $140USD VP axle housing at present as there have been repeated reports of bad tolerances and machining issues with their housings and axles and they aren't exactly cheap like Boom or HR which you kind of could forgive for 1/3 the money. Maybe some owners can chime in and let us know about the MC and VP housings. If VP are back on track then that's great. I guess one big bonus for the MC housing is that you can get replacement gears and even axles easily. As to whether they hold up, no idea TBBH. |
Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread 23T Servo Arms, what options are there. Shock Springs,what options are there. Wheels, what options |
Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread Servo horn, I would go with the losi specific one that's aluminum. Its short and guaranteed to fit. And keeps the 4-40 threads too. Not 100% sure but I think the springs from the losi ten is what fits. And wheels, basically any 2.2 will work (might need bigger hubs though). Im running vp methods 105s. |

Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread Again, I'm not sure if they fit or not but I remember seeing someone mentioning it. More parts from HR added to there site. hot-racing.com |
Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread DRVNPRO make an aluminum brace for the stock plastic rear axle, looks kinda neat. Losi Baja Rey and Rock Rey Axle Housing Aluminum brace | DRVNPRO |
Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread Boom racing do alu servo horn 7€ and a front upper link mount 11€ and all the links in titanium 50€ |
Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread Not an aftermarket part but its an upgrade for the stock plastic shafts. This idea comes from a wraith a long time ago. Ive seen some people twisting the stock plastic shafts (usually from running a locker), the fix is a grub screw down the middle so the plastic cant collapse then twist. What you need, M6 x 1.0 tap and M6 12mm long grub screws (4 total). Just tap the male splined shaft and put two 12mm long grub screws in the shaft. The 2nd grub screw, tighten it down against the 1st to lock them in place. Thats it. I did this to my front shafts. You can do this to the rear driveshaft but you will need another grub screw since its longer. |

Hot Racing has some new parts, rear shock tower set and 3rd member. They are also listing a "shock tower brace" on their website but there's no picture and no availability on eBay that i can see. Would be pretty cool if it was for the front! |

Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread Man seems like the aftermarket nor the rock rey took off. Add Horizon Hobby event the other day I was discussing the rock Rey kit and the rep told me that it just wasn't doing the numbers that corporate needed to see. The feeling I got from him was that there could be a discontinuation at some point. The fact that the rock Rey is built much more robust than the yeti or at least it seems to me, it doesn't seem like the aftermarket really took off fortunately... On that note I did come across hot racing site has a new listing for the rock Rey and quite a bit of parts! https://hot-racing.com/?c=1082_Losi_...4WD_Rock_Racer |

Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread I’ve been looking around for upgrades and backup replacement parts and... I’m not liking what I’m seeing. HH is dropping prices, many other online sources are out of stock and the typical aftermarket manufacturers are not filling back orders. Typical supply/demand calls for increases in prices with low stocks not discounts. This is a great vehicle but sadly l, I think the rockrey is on its way to being discontinued. Sucks we’ve had them for only 4 months. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread Hard to imagine they would be willing to make a negative decision after such a short lifespan. It hasn't even been summer in North America yet. I'm not giving up hope :) |
Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread Lets hope they keep making parts. I just got the RTR in yesterday and I am loving it. I already got an itch to start wrenching on some of them upgrades. Anyone having any issues with the HR products? Also what is the most common parts that fail from bashing besides the servo horn? (Already got a new one otw) |
Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread My son (12yo) and I have been bashing a stock rock rey for 2 weeks now. I did replace the steering servo and arm before I even drove it, but other than that, it's been great. Took the body off today for a light inspection and found the front shock tower broken in three places, and the front cage near the shock tower broken on one side. I removed the parts, drilled 1/16" holes in both sides of the breaks, and glued pieces of heavy paper clips to effectively pin the parts together until I can order more. Worked perfectly. With how much we have cart-wheeled and flipped this truck, I'm stunned that is all that we broke. I am very impressed with it so far. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk |

Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread Any new upgrade parts available yet? Been over a year since the last post on this thread. Was wondering about rear axle shafts for the currie F9. Dont see anything on VP's website anymore about their bomb proof shafts they used to have. Is the transmission sealed now on the RTR's and anymore upgrades for the transmission and front diffs? |
Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread The continued lack of aftermarket support for this truck makes me wonder how popular it actually is. By all accounts, it's a better truck than the Yeti, but I wonder how it stacks up in sales compared to the Yeti. Horizon's discontinuation of the Yeti kit made me think that they were choosing to put their support behind the Rock Rey instead of the Yeti, but the lack of aftermarket support makes me wonder if that decision may end up in the death of both of them instead of just one. |

Re: Rock Rey Aftermarket Thread I realize it's been a little over 16 months since anything was posted in here, but I'm wondering if anyone is aware of a similar thread, but for the Baja Rey. I know many parts can be used on either, but each does have many vehicle-specific parts, and I haven't (yet) found a similar thread aimed at the Baja Rey. Assistance would be appreciated. Thanks, in advance. ~ More peace, love, laughter & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place [emoji1690] |
