Losi Hammer Rey test run and review

[@Miguel.herrera.71]

Whenever my boy comes through, whatever he worked on is gonna be fast and modified to the max! Great job brother 💯

[@RCReviewChannel]

We’re keeping it 100%

[@kennethrobinson9008]

Love this scaled down version! This truck is a desert racer not a basher. In the desert with loose terrain is where it excels, high bite traction needs throttle control. Yes, a few mods will stabilize the rig for sure.

[@vbspeed7571]

Hi from V&b Speed a new rc community channel stop in say hi thank u ✌️

[@RCReviewChannel]

We'll mod it and see what it can do. I'm not exactly sure it has high bite traction. I just seems narrow and high. Widen it and stabilizer bars should be good for it. A sad part is Losi put stabilizer bars but they're only decorational.

[@kennethrobinson9008]

@@RCReviewChannel Can't wait to see the transformation. Vitavon makes a rear anti-sway bar.

[@ryano8613]

It has rear sway bar it's hidden in front of the rear shocks. The fake one is fake. No front, which is a bummer

[@kennethrobinson9008]

@@ryano8613 Right. Vitavon makes a rear sway-bar to replace the fake one for added stabilization.

[@DozerBoyRc]

Liking the honesty!! Great video and keep them coming!

[@RCReviewChannel]

That's how we do it!!!

[@RazorRC]

That truck looks familiar! Nice overview and running footage.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Haha, glad you made it out

[@Paul-wz1tm]

Redesigned hammer rey.

[@Paul-wz1tm]

If you can find one in a hobby shop, theyre on sale $299. Regular $580. Great deal.

[@mik1037]

drone footage was awesome!

[@Sublimescatty]

Offset wheels, some weight down low and 4s on the stock system has made me content with my purchase. I have more plans for mine still but I feel out of the box and on 3s it is a let down.. course I purchased a Super Rock Rey at the same time and that thing is a monster and huge fun which over shadowed this car lol.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Good call. Sounds like the rear diff is locked too so just need to free that up.

[@roadrash76]

I have this rig and I’ve used it to rock crawl. Does decent

[@RCReviewChannel]

haha. Long wheelbase rock crawl. Can rock bounce I'm sure.

[@roadrash76]

@@RCReviewChannel it has open diffs so you have to use more throttle to make it over the obstacles. So yeah some rock bouncing does take place

[@Paul-wz1tm]

I just got one on sale for $299. For that price it's a must have

[@4WingView]

Beautiful truck. This one I'll look into further.

[@RCReviewChannel]

right on

[@douglaselliott8298]

A totally cool looking 'scale' replica of a very successful 4400 class UDR. But it is far more practical to 'tune' this scaler from Losi as a Rock Crawler because if you drive it FAST you'll start breaking "scale" parts as readily as the Axial RR10 Bomber or Ryft does when 'raced'.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Good news it passed the durability test on that hard day.

[@ryano8613]

It's a scale car people . Yes.

[@gxtxRCcrawling]

super cool rig all around :D

[@slushblaster7523]

did you run the chase led light bar off the traxxas voltage adapter and controller?

[@Killa_b_rc]

That’s what I want to know. I need to know how

[@vicdez]

Try going stiffer in the rear diff to get it to slide more through the turns. Might help with the rolling over,

[@vbspeed7571]

Hello from V&b speed a new rc community channel stop in say hi thank u ✌️

[@RCReviewChannel]

Will do for sure.

[@neilmandude]

The rear diff is locked💪

[@01SCKing]

Would love to know what window nets were used on this!

[@josepedraza8115]

Did he have to modify the wiring on UDR chase lights? Thanks

[@EpicSwedishFika]

Got my new Hammer Rey yesterday. That thing just cannot go straight... Anyone having the same issues????

[@sawyerheslep8493]

Yo can u do an update on this ?

[@rc_amigos]

So I’m running the same motor esc on my Baja Rey on the smallest pinion and have major overheating issues. Do those fans prevent that 100%?

[@nikpinet2745]

I tried the same exact set up in mine, and it was getting way too hot. 4100kv is too high for a heavy rig like this. You want something around the 3100kv range. More torque to push the heavy truck, less heat.

[@tjohanne]

"I believe it's still stock servo". Well, if you didn't change it, I'm sure it's stock. And if you did change it, you would probably remember.

[@cwatson42785]

2:54 lol 😂 Well you asked for it!

[@rayE8533]

Think it's made for loose dirt and sand, not grass or asphalt.

[@jorgeayala2326]

What kind of ramp that is?

[@RCReviewChannel]

Ninja Hopper Ramp. Adjustable and very expensive. :)

[@SH-ry2xi]

What happened to his arm? Looks like he fell off a motorcycle or bike

[@RCReviewChannel]

I fell off the mountain bike many times. That's my day job. Mountain bike crash test dummy

[@jrc-fabs1634]

Those aftermarket shocks were a waste but other than that it's a great build

[@amosburton164]

Looks cool as all get out, but it's a tumbleweed. Wish I never bought it. Should have stuck with arrma

[@RCReviewChannel]

tumbleweed.... lolol

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Not convinced on this one. Same issues as the UDR really, looks great but perfornance and handling just isn't there. Can't see myself putting down $580 USD for this truck but interested to see what can be done with this chassis. Thanks for the review 👍

[@RCReviewChannel]

Fair enough! Definitely more of a scaler out of the box and not a performer.

[@chelseazi183]

dont understand why some people like this car, slow and flips

[@BenSuzi1980]

true... just spend 100$ more get a Traxxas UDR and be happy till u die probably lol =))

[@RCReviewChannel]

Cause it's a looker for scale. Or they're hooked on the 1:1

[@chelseazi183]

@@RCReviewChannel ture and I expect your channel could review CROSS RC AT6 I believe you have not done it yet if i am right

[@BenSuzi1980]

yeah its not really good, for 300€ maybe^^

[@RCReviewChannel]

good point!!

[@gillian9178]

Kevin Talbot tested this truck recently, it was boringly slow & handled was even worse, he gave the truck away to somebody.

[@RCReviewChannel]

He knows what he's doing!

[@uhnogood]

Whats with the shaved eyebrows.

[@HeCody]

It's a terrible car, rolls over easily and climbs hard, the LMT has a lot of issues but can be improved, and the Hammer Rey is a trust in terms of size and performance.

[@RCReviewChannel]

'a trust'? What's that mean? We'll see what it can do with some mods.

[@Markbinim-w8j]

Of course if you try and drive it like a more conventional truck it will roll over. The Hammer Rey requires more driver skill and input to run than something like a slash or Kraton for instance. It's a scale rig not a basher and once you get the hang of it imo one of the most rewarding trucks available.
