| New Rock Rey Build, New Forum Member!
Greetings and salutations! I've recently been roped back into RC, first finishing an original AE SC10 build I started 7 yrs ago, which got derailed by a couple of babies since then ;) Now, those babies are 5 and 4, and having a blast with it since I finished it off to run with my brother in law.. newfound common childhood loves ftw . I loved my original Kyosho Outlaw Ultima, which is why I went with the SC10 when I first came back to RC, but a 4x4 has always been on my wishlist... enter the $250 Losi Rock Rey kit! The price alone to me was crazy, but i loved the challenge in the build and very different capabilities and style. Of course, servicing is a pain, but i have that down to about 14 screws, so not too bad ;) Without further ado, here's my humble Rock Rey, attempting to be budget-conscious where I can (apologies for some of the blurry screen grabs): EDIT: Apologies - I can't seem to get the pics to link using normal [ IMG ] tags. Mods/gear so far.. - Castle Mamba Monster X ESC + 1406-2850KV Brushless/Sensored Crawler combo - $10 Castle link card (just arrived) - RPM Castle Mamba X ESC Cage - extra Tower Hobbies 2-ch receiver (had to mount atop the battery tray, unfortunately) - $17,99 Amazon 20KG all-metal WP servo - Vaterra Twin Hammers front diff locker (center diff) - Incision SS Rear Upper Link Kit - Hot Racing Aluminum Front Camber Link Mount - Hot Racing front aluminum arms (not yet installed) - TBR Body Fins (protect the lid!) - old-school tire tape job - AE Trophy Rat wheel/tire spare (just zip-tied for pics ) near-term mods.. - Beadlock wheels + Pro-Line Hyrax tires (or other lower profile tires more suitable for racing/bashing?) - TBR front bumper - A couple of decent 5000mah 3s lipo packs - Hot racing front sway bar kit long-term mods.. - spare wheel/tire mount - aluminum front bulkhead - aluminum rear 3rd member - SS lower rear links feedback/suggestions? Thank you for looking! |
