Just wanted to thank all my subscribers that followed along on rebuilding my old Baja Rey, it was a long difficult process but the end result speaks for its self. Thanks for watching and hit that Like and Subscribe for more RC scale builds.

Sup man the best content literally i cant believe how you make those clips awesome content. Really nice build been here since the beginning and it is a big journey. One question do you have any old body that you can donate or sell cheap cuerrently building a baja rey but budget is my issue. Cheers mate

@@davidvelazoco4186 Sup broskie, thanks for following along. I do have some giveaways planned and maybe we can work something out, stay tuned and thanks for the cool words.

[@Itsarealone]

Awesome builds always! Love the mini boss you did, trying to currently get my raptor to that. Just needing to lower shock weight

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

@@Itsarealone 27.5 worked really well for scale videos and made a lot of body roll but it did not jump very well on lighter weight oil, just like Cyconxc says you set it soft for scale videos and a little firmer if you know you are going to jump big, thanks for watching buddy, I might have to rename this truck now the Mini Boss has officially been rebuilt lol, Thanks for watching @Cody Dillenbeck.

Love the way those bucket lights look on the bumper 🤘🏼 such a great build 🔥

After this came out so good I picked two more Axial light bar kits, still thinking about throwing one on the roof? 🤘🏼

I just got a Baja Rey and u have taught me a lot of things about these just trying to source parts

Appreciate you watching and commenting. Glad you found some info and welcome to the Baja Rey family 👍

Amazing job on this build. Show & Shine winners along with the Robby Gordon baja truck. Going to watch this channel when I get home...bad ass builds

[@surfside75]

This is what perfection looks like💙 -i have my own idea of perfection and I'm building it based on the 1/10 king shocks baja rey. SSD, ProLine, GPM, ExoTek, HotRacing, CrazyRacer, RPM, WinterEvening Team Losi etc.. gonna be oh so sweet💙🤣

Appreciate it man, sounds like a stout build you got going, would love to see more and thanks for the kind words and following along. Peace.

Such a rad ride! I can't wait to build a Baja Rey!

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

I have seen a few of your videos with your Baja and it looks awesome with those bigger wheels and sick paint job, respect from Oregons adventure coast.

[@shredcraftrc]

@@DoubleClutchProductions Thanks man! I appreciate it! your vids showed me a lot about the baja rey and im stoked to have one now!

[@madmaxximus1234]

That's badass bro! I gave up on the stock shocks. Went proline,. Its like a new truck. Keep up the good work 👍🤙

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

I went proline about 3 years ago and threw them in the garbage, the springs are not the rite strength to hold the weight of my Baja Rey, its over 1LB heavier than stock close to 1/8th buggy weights and those springs are designed for 1/10 slash type short course trucks, properly built Losi shocks have been the best performing for me and my terrain. Thanks for watching buddy.

[@madmaxximus1234]

@@DoubleClutchProductions I realized that through the stroke that they were binding. I found in my case that the bodies weren't true. (Stiction) Funny you said that! Its actually my 1/8 kyosho springs that I am currently running. ( pretty much in stock form and 2s, proline hyrex .its also a rig that takes some discipline to control. I am going to do the same and make some panels like you. Keep it up, it's a cool rig.( I have to tell ya that I still prefer my UDR. The weight just adds another dimension. 🙂

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

@@madmaxximus1234 1/8 kyosho springs.... What color or spec, would love to get a set, I do like the UDR but I would get a 5ive T before I got a UDR, oops did I just give a spoiler alert? Stay tuned buddy and thanks for watching.

[@madmaxximus1234]

@@DoubleClutchProductions Springs are light blue, and I belive that they are rated as medium. Springs were for the MP7.5. Kyosho part.

@@DoubleClutchProductions Cool! Thanks for your reply. Very much appreciated. Just got a new V1 "Rhino" (second hand) and wondering what to do with it.

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Right on, I believe this ESS sound init is approx 8 years old now. Good units!

[@BlackSeaRC]

Great build! I'm interested to see the original Baja Rey body compared with the latest Raptor versions. This older one seems to have more wheel clearance or am I wrong? I know the latest body has problems with the tyres rubbing on the underside of the body.

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Your 100% correct. The raptor is by far the worst, the f100 second and the v1 is the best for wheel clearance.

[@BlackSeaRC]

@@DoubleClutchProductions I hope that perhaps Losi will release some new body variants for the Baja Rey 2.0 in 2024. The price of the Baja Rey clear lexan body sets if you want to do a custom paint job is crazy!

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

@BlackSeaRC absolutely agree! Especially when the raptor body and f100 body legit only last one good running session before shredding themselves. Agreed!

[@jeremyhart5086]

Would it be possible to show the build off the suspension? I’ve been really struggling getting rebound and compression like that for my Baja Rey. I have proline shocks and desert lizard bypass shocks. Thanks in advance, build looks phenomenal and I’m jealous of the suspension.

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Thanks for watching bud, Yes, just got all the parts needed to do a shock build/rebuild video, filming it later today actually and hope to have a video posted very soon.

[@bryantgenson5339]

[@jacksloan3516]

Which Traxxas UDR Dampener did you use, the front one at 134mm or the back one at 160mm? If I am not mistaken the stock Losi is 140mm.

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Udr Fronts 134mm. The stock baja rey rear shocks are 128ish? These UDR fronts are just a smidgen bigger as to not limit uptravel 👍

where did you get those carbon fiber plates BTW truck looks really good

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

I made them out of .60 Kydex/Holstex, I have a more detailed video on my channel Custom Carbon body panels check it out and tell me what you think. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIe6lGSLq5uUhLc

[@rjeezy.5746]

We need those rear chassis braces!!!...looks sick though. So you have 20wt in the udr.. What do you have or planning on putting in the stock Shocks? Are the rear lower arms upside down... Thought the flat side was the bottom...

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Lower 4 link arms, you know I searched high and low to figure out what side was the top or bottom, you could be right they may be upside down? I can't remember the picture I used for reference but it was from Horizon I think? If you know let me know so I can flip em lol, yah 20wt in the UDR fronts, figured as light as possible so the Losi spring can get ride height easier, I know it will jump excellent but I think it limits downward travel, testing will tell.

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

I think if you run the Lower links with the flat side down I think you limit travel cuz the sway bar sits lower in droop, I used the stock plastic lower trailing arms as a reference for height of the holes in reference to the ball end and shock hole, if that makes sense but I could be wrong?

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

I hear you on the braces, if I hand made you a full set, doors, roof everything how much would it be worth to you? Its about $25 for materials. I am not looking to make profit on the hand made stuff but you keep asking and I think it would be cool to make you a set.

[@rjeezy.5746]

@@DoubleClutchProductions I see what you mean. The hole in relation to the front mount is ever so slightly lower. So if it is your way, the hole is higher and in turn would give more droop. I think the stock Shocks are the limiters. the sway bar on mine is the limiter with the proline and flat side down... flic.kr/p/2kQoTFj flic.kr/p/2kJhF53 Pretty much as far as it goes.

[@rjeezy.5746]

@@DoubleClutchProductions Ok...So after watching a few installs and some other pictures..it seems flat side up is the way to go. Just as far as function and aesthetics...flat side down makes more sense. I will have to switch em and maybe measure droop and see if it gets better. EDIT: Horizon answered me with basically "it should not even fit with flatside facing down" lol. So I guess im working on the baja rey tonight.

[@SebastianLong]

The V1 Rey models are and have always been better quality than the V2 models. Whether it be 1/10 Rock/Baja Rey or the 1/6 Rock/Baja Rey. Now mind you the V2 1/10 Rock Rey is now the Hammer Rey, but still the old one was better.

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

100% agree my dude, returned my hammer rey, first RC I ever returned actually. You know what's up my dude 👍👊
