Losi Super Rock Rey first run on 8S

[@adolfoecs]

I really like you tests on the vehicules... you tested what the truck is made for. Love it. I think that this will be my truck.

[@ReadySetRC]

Been waiting for this video for awhile. Great run Vas and perfect location. On 8S this thing is a demon. I've since geared mine up to 18T and run it on 6S. Seems to be the sweet spot for me. Love those wheels you are running.

[@bicketybamRC]

That looks like a fun place to run the SRR. Sandy dunes are even better. Don't give up on the AVC just yet. As others have mentioned, just dial it back until the front end stops wobbling. Also, make sure the truck is completely flat on the ground and level when you turn the truck on. The AVC sets its reference points when you first turn it on.

[@gmax876]

What wheels and tires are those?

[@wolfheart4454]

What kind of wheels and tires it is ?

[@yenny527]

Wheel nuts also came off of my 6s kraton even though they were tightened. Since then I’ve used blue loctite

[@RedRoxRc]

Thing is pretty gnarly. Took that uneven terrain very well. Sorry about the wheel. Thanks as always for showing us these cars as they come out. Love your reviews. Well done! Cheers

[@eagledronestan952]

What size tires are you running ??

[@walterclarke6996]

Turn the AVC to about 30 percent then adjust slightly up or down to your liking.

[@lesprobett7348]

@@RCmaxxUK Maybe like a dream was the wrong wording but compared with the udr the rock rey handles far much better now I've lowered the suspension.

Cool,nice video,good to see this car we're it's meant to run.ya I haven't got my two AVC receivers to work like they should. Fun to see a new place,thank you again for all the great video s.

[@FallingFlying.]

lol at the wheels falling off... My mates Axial Yeti XL Monster Buggy that was bought from Box Hill Metro Hobbies did that until some Loctite was applied to it.. There is a pretty cool BMX track without any fences to crash into in Malahang Reserve Heidelberg West, Victoria. That you could try..

[@semperatis]

Get some 17mm wheelnuts with the nylon inserts in them,that should sort the problem Vas.

[@gerardscheffer8848]

What a beautiful truck. If I had the money... Why does a fast truck like this have a solid rear axle? I would have thought that full independant suspension drives better?

[@ThePurge1313]

Hello my friend, what exactly are these wheels, please! I'm urgently looking for suitable with 24mm hex

[@TheTankRC]

Thanks for stopping by my live (RC Talk "Happy fathers day") Stream last night, I appreciate your support. The Losi Super Rock Rey is a blast thanks for posting. 👍

[@AussieRCPlayground]

No problem at all. Thanks for stopping by and for the comment. 😊👍

[@alfonxoduff]

It really has plastic shafts? front drive shafts

[@robertmoore8328]

What tires and wheels are you using? I like the style of them.

[@rsoul7282]

The back wheel would be coming off due to the play between the hub and wheel, once it gets a bit loose, the rotation will merrily spin the nut off regardless of how tight it was, due to the direction of rotation. As some others have stated, a bit of medium hold loctite is the go 👍

[@stuart3712]

Can you use a 5000mah 6s and a 2s 5000mah for 8s? or do the cells have to match? Seems like a good combo if it does work and the same as two 4s.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Yes, you can do that. You need the same brand, same mAh, same C rating and preferably the same age as well. Cells do not matter when pairing in series. Essentially, you are making a 8S battery and the ESC will read it as such. The ESC does not know if you have 2 x 4S, 6S + 2S. 5S + 3S or 7S + 1S batteries connected, it only reads voltage. So as long as the cells match, it doesn't matter how you make up 8S. ;)

[@RCWatson]

When's the infraction video coming???

[@AussieRCPlayground]

It's on the way, once I get it, you'll see it. Hopefully some time next week...

[@andreaboschi2315]

[@Mxoderberg]

Hate when that happens! I always loctite my wheel nuts since I stripped the hexes in a few wheels. Never lost a nut after that.

[@stevenmillar8810]

can't wait till you get your hands on the 2 new armma cars ones a roller as you prob know

[@ivanarenas6001]

What charger do you use to charge the batteries.

[@Spoogitywoogums]

Second time doggos have crashed a video lol. This makes me miss my Yeti and wish I got the Yeti XL. With these solid rear axle machines (my favorite class) the rear suspension setup causes them to mule kick consistently and if you look up 1:1 rock bouncer videos you'll see why. And the best way to counteract it when making decent sized jumps is to REALLY pin the throttle, and they fly level. You can take turns at speed or with throttle but you can only really do it on gravel or low traction surfaces like the BMX track. With the flex they have, it plays against the cornering and will completely shift the body weight in the opposite direction of the turn. Sway bars help a bit, but unless you're running slicks you can't take turns on grass/mud at speed. Those tires that come with it would be your best bet on the BMX track because they are meant to grip rocks and steep terrain like a crawler. They will fold on themselves if you take off the throttle while turning but as long as you spin them they perform magically.

[@avisaiduarte3512]

What wheels and tires are you running Aussie?

[@smiley37greg]

I believe that when you turn the AVC completely off, then back on the radio needs to be recalibrated. Maybe this is the issue?

[@cwatson42785]

Hey Vas what adapters did you get to go from 20mm hex to 24mm? I recently got one of these and looking to put the same tires. Thanks 🍻

[@GAPreviewsAtoZ]

Bro what’s the name of the tires and what’s the hex size

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Tyres are from Louise/Duratrax and hex is 17mm.

[@Bacon676]

Hey Vas, you're running in the same issue I had with my Savage once I went to a 3500W rated motor on 6s. It's the torque from the motor ripping on 8s here backing the wheel nuts off. You need to basically get the axles dripping with thread locker, as well as put down a Herculean amount of force on the wheel nuts. Either that, or make the jump up either 23mm or 24mm wheels and adapters.

[@949Designs]

Good stuff! Mine was just delivered today. I think I’ll throw some Loctite on it before I take it out for a rip. 🤙🏼

[@GreatLakesRC]

Nice change of pace Vas! Bummer on the wheel falling off and the dog poo on the car 😥 I also noticed full AVC makes a weird wobble. The DX5C will give you full AVC control and should make it better 😃 I really like my SBR doing exactly what you are doing. Open field run! The size and speed are just different than a 1/8 scale

[@olds97lss]

It would probably drift when you turn vs flipping if you were on dirt. Does the gyro need to be calibrated? Wondering if the goofy AVC you showed isn't working because of that or if the servo is too weak/slow.

[@davidlewis620]

Hey Vas, enjoyed the video !! Try turning the AVC to 1/2 setting . That might help to reduce the traction rolling and stop the wobbling that results at full AVC on solid axle trucks .

[@tlfbshti364]

+1 kind of quick to shut down avc Vas, should've at least given it a go at 1/2 setting, ya know, for science!

Shame about the wheels coming off. How come you took the standard wheels off? They might have less bite and allow it to side in the corner rather than flip like that

I might run the truck again with the stock wheels, but I just never saw them having much grip at all, so I changed them out.

[@RoadsideRC]

Welcome to the SRR club! We have really enjoyed ours! Sucks about the wheel coming off. Sounds like there might be something wrong with your 17mm adaptor. We ran the Hot Racing ones from the Yeti XL and it worked without a problem.

[@bicketybamRC]

The nuts when running the stock wheels w/o adapters can be really hard to remove. I've hurt myself trying to get them off with a standard RC T-tool. My socket set only goes up to 16mm. I really need to get a 17mm socket so I can use it to remove the wheel nuts.

[@RoadsideRC]

@@bicketybamRC Agreed. Have had zero loosening issues with stock. Also, zero when running 17mm Hot Racing.

[@bicketybamRC]

@@RoadsideRC Do you run the adapters so you can run different tires? If so, which tires are you running and do you like them?

[@RoadsideRC]

@@bicketybamRC Yep. Ran them to try the RC4WD Rock Crushers and the Mud Slingers. Had them sitting around already from other vehicles. Nope - didn't like either of them. Too soft for such a heavy truck. The stock tires have still been the best for me.

There is something up with ur avc. My sbr and 5ive-t do great on avc on the very rare occasion that I use it. I had a similar issue on my losi scbe and I rebound the controller. Worked perfect after that.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

I'll be binding my DX5C to this receiver and will see how it goes then. I'll also be able to do finer adjustments to AVC and I should be able to fix it.

[@STEVOD313]

[@camillebrenes]

Enjoyed this immensely despite the wheel falling off twice and going through dog crap. :) Hose it down... lol

[@justinjones5281]

The wheel nuts probably come off because the hub carrier has no support so when your turning hard the wheels put stress on the rim which cause the nuts to loosen. Locktight will definitely work. Good vid, gotta go rougher terrain to really make this thing shine for the money

[@javierduran2328]

In aliexpress i found a motor of 1520KV 10S!!! To losi. 125 km/h. Regards

Sounds like the pinon,s to tight. As far as the avc go's some systems have settings were you can set the the priorities, I have them set to 0 % throttle priority and 10 to 15 % steering, I found if I had it any higher it would get the wobbles plus once you're got your trim set you have to calibrate the gyro in the receiver, all this is only relevant if avc is steering gyros are the same thing

[@skippthemag2858]

well shit, no i miss my buddy who moved back to Melbourne. "hello pigeons" lol Great looking rig!

[@Nickwillfixit]

Why did you swap out the stock wheels, it is not a fair test, it performs well on the stock tyres has more ground clearance. The AVC is not supposed to be wound right up, it says so in the instructions it tells you turn it back if it glitch's You just turn it to around 50 to 60%, please read about the AVC you are giving it a bad rep saying it does not work. I use it in all my 5th gas vehicles, at around 30 to 50% get rid of the extenders it drifts better on stock wheel base and tyres. I have been using it since it first came out, it is particularly good with my two HPI Baja's being two wheel drive, also good in my Krakens and Dragon Hammer but I rarely use it in my LOSI 5ive-T and DBXL. I use the TSM in my UDR but it is not as good as the Spektrum AVC system, I have used AVC in my UDR but swapped back as I use the RTR transmitter for the Blue tooth and the telemetry as with the Spektrum you can not run both telemetry and AVC unless you have the Spektrum DX6Pro, but can with the TRAXXAS set up. So please read up on the AVC it is adjustable for a reason otherwise it would just be used on a two position switch on or off, it is variable depending on preference and terrain conditions, go play dialing it up and down.

[@bicketybamRC]

Excellent point. I have mine disabled (not turned down) because I jump mine at BMX track. But when I run it I dial it in by adjusting the sensitivity like you suggest. It makes the truck handle like a dream on loose dirt. I'm going to re-enable it on mine. I also run the stock tires.

Avc like the traxxas stability thing I totally don’t get at all. Hate all driver aids make no sense and take control ( to correct a crash for example away from me which I HATE!!) 😀.. thumbs up, enjoyed the vid... I have had a cpl solid axle rigs now and cornering is not a strong suit... just something about a solid rear I think. They roll plenty... udr and dragon hammer. This looks just as bad. So you are running wheel extenders??? And different from stock wheels straight away??? Why? Surely best to show a stock rig? Guessing it handles even worse stock? I always like to see a rig run standard 1st to see the reality of how a car runs before mods to make it better. Nice turn of speed as it should on 8s. Maybe try a rougher spot terrain wise to really show it off. With the odd jump ?... and could be lots of fun in the sand. 👍👌🏼. Good luck with the dog 💩 hate it when that happens!!!!🤢
