I appreciate the feedback guys. Please keep the quoting of images to a minimum. If not it clutters threads!

| Re: Jato Tries to Define Rock Rey The kit came with a defective body. Holes in the body weren't even close to lining up with the standoffs on the cage. It looks liked FedEx delivered the new body today. Oh and BTW in PA we have this thing called winter that you Texans don't know about. I can paint in my garage, but I have to fire up a heater first or the paint doesn't dry. The winter weather gives me another reason to procrastinate and push the painting off. |

| Re: Jato Tries to Define Rock Rey
One of the reasons I was waiting on buying a bell crank and steering setup for my Baja Rey is because I read a couple of places where people had bent the Losi part and switched to the Hot Racing part. Not sure if it's from poor design or a bad production run. The Hot Racing part has a solid arm rather than an arm with a channel machined out of it. If I remember correctly, one dude wrote in an Amazon review that he had bent two Losi arms before switching to the Hot Racing version. I take Amazon (and most other reviews) with a grain of salt so I was waiting for more reliable information before puling the trigger on the part. In any case my Baja Rey is now competing with the Axial Bomber kit I just started building for my limited hobby funds so it may be a while before the Baja Rey receives any more upgrades. |

So I'm not crazy. My body doesn't line up either just built it last week. I just sent Horizon an email earlier today. Side note: What are you doing with those Hutchinsons? Last edited by fr8cture; 03-16-2019 at 08:12 PM. | |

They are sitting on my table all sad and lonely. I may sell them. Don't you have enough rare stuff? I'm not in a rush to sell them, but if you're serious shoot me an offer. Remember that they come with LURC scale hardware. | |

Nice thread to read through! Using a fair bit of the info in my own Rock Rey RTR build up. Oddly enough I busted a steering hub before the factory plastic horn, I was shocked lol.

Did you ever really get to drive this? I like the idea of an overgrown twin hammers, but it kinda seems like a money pit full of design flaws that is a pain to work on. Or does it drive well enough to make up for the other shortcomings? I think the misplaced body mount holes are becoming a standard feature on Horizon rigs. The ones in my last twin hammer kit were further off than yours. They were also poorly trimmed to top it off |
