Ok, an airsoft field, moto track and rc track all in one? It's literally heaven for my trio of hobbies. lmfao

[@gerardoescobedolobatos7498]

Who says money doesn't happiness. This rc would put a smile on my face every time I would drive it 😊

[@rcdriver]

It put a smile on my face and my heart was pumpin fast while ripping the buggy around at full throttle!

[@SOMNIOHM]

​@@rcdriver Might it be worthwhile to pull this out alongside the Fireteam, and do a video comparison?!? (Before 2022 is over) I would like to know how differently each is, or if they are both similar! A back to back drive test at your track/jump area where both are potentially out of their elements yet.. (In real world use of what most people will try to do with them)... I am legitimately *Hard Stuck* on a purchase decision here, and I badly need some help!!! I do not want to make the wrong decision, only to regret this, and be forever retired from this hobby! I am dead set on a Fireteam while they are on major sale for 399, OR the Special Edition XRT that my local hobby shop has! $1900 | 2K for XRT/batteries/charger/tools/tires/aftermarket wingmount/Max6 ESC.. $1K | 1,200 for Fireteam/batteries/charger/tools/tires/Futaba 4PM Trans. & Receiver.. Literally cannot make up my mind which one I want to take a shot at!!!!! I am a former 1:8 Nitro Buggy & Truggy racer from 2004-2013!!! (I think I am still going to be a very skilled driver) I have zero experience with these newer Lipo Powered Electric Vehicles! I have no local hobby shop that is willing to let me "Test Drive" anything! I have a larger backyard, so space is not an issue! I have now been out of the hobby for 9 years, and I miss it like hell! I finally have the time to be able to get back into this! I was used to (long time now) Team XRay, and Mugen for the Buggies/Truggies! (quality kits) I am only looking to do *Backyard Light Bashing* along with some *Ramp Jumping* .. but nothing too craaazy like we see on here from some of the more wild content creators! Any thoughts, or ideas to PLEASE HELP ME make up my mind would be super appreciative!

Fun video! We have really enjoyed our Super Rock Rey. Be warned though, we have already had to put a servo and front spindles on this truck - they are weak from the factory.

[@impactrc6427]

Ugh this is my favorite RC car of all time!!! Mine was indestructible lol had for 2 years before something broke! I just gave it a overhaul with hot racing parts all over! I’ll keep this one forever.. the only issue that I would change is the battery location because the tray always gets stuck or would increase the size where the batteries go because it won’t fit the 6800 mah batteries.. also the body panels are a pain to get off

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Looks fun I should have got one ☝️ thanks for the video

[@kmonty1604]

Really disappointed. Got mine a couple days ago running two 4s LiPo's. Within 10 minutes, the servo broke. Thanks to you I was able to get a new servo ordered instead of buying another junk one. Earned a new sub. Thanks and happy bashing.

[@Andrew-ib1zq]

Where can I get two 4s lipo batteries that are compatible on Amazon? And maybe a charger. I’m looking into one

[@GaurdsFan84]

Omg I want this car so bad!! Lol my axial yeti score is my all time favorite rc truck and this thing is a yeti on steroids. Go ahead and send it to me lol

It needs the aluminum spindle upgrade. The plastic breaks super easy. The steering rack is also a weak point.I love my SRR but I hate working on it.

Thanks!

[@lifeisgood7377]

Ok so now I’m torn. Xmaxx or Super Rock Rey?

[@theirishaxe9405]

First of all great video man 👍👍 second I hate that transmitter! I've had that in two different trucks you pay 600 to 800 bucks for a nice top of the line truck and get a ten dollar all thin plastic cheepo radio. Sorry guys I had to say it it works fine but feels and looks cheep . One of the cheapest radios out there is the flysky gt3b and that is 10 times better radio than the spectrum I don't know why horizon has to go this route. Anyway I love this truck and also wondering why 8s with plastic drive shafts? Maybe to soak up a little torque? I don't think I've seen anyone has been breaking them but wondering why

[@rcdriver]

At least it's not the STX2 lol. The DX2E... well works. It does have some adjustablity to it to set end-points and you can expand it now with telemetry options (unlike early versions.) But I see what you're saying. I already have the Rey programmed into my DX5 Rugged. Not totally sure on the driveshafts either, but I haven't seen anyone complaining about breaking them either. Nice that the universal itself is metal.

[@theirishaxe9405]

[@BigG344]

This truck looks sick! I have a Kraton 8s and Outcast 8s. This thing looks even more solid then both of those. What's the run time (with normal driving style and aggressive driving style)? I run two 9000mah 100C 4s Lipo's on both my trucks.

[@rooseveltrainesjr7618]

I ran mine oass 40 minutes on 6$ every more time on 8$

[@JerseyStyle7]

X Maxx or this rock rey ?

[@michaelbrewer1657]

I just purchased one I have run two charges through it and after running it in sand the battery door is next to impossible to unlatch because of the sand have you had this problem and if so any tips

[@SebastianLong]

Just sand down the edges of the battery door about a millimeter total. It won't interfere with it staying closed as that is the latches duty. Hope this helps.

[@michaelbrewer1657]

Lane Waite it’s the latch that seems to get stuck almost impossible to unlatch

[@ulisesh2727]

Debating whether to get this or the Losi Desert buggy XL-E , any advice?? ( price is not an issue)

[@luisrod106]

Ulises H dbxle easier to drive and the rock Rey is prone to flipping

[@GreatLakesRC]

I thought they were 24mm hex wheels 🤔 The SBR is 24mm on the tire but the nut that holds it on is 17mm. Also the SBR is a 5mm chassis..... Really suprised at all these differences between the two models

[@tomandrews5392]

Looks like a great machine really big 8s it just flys....

[@rcdriver]

Most of the action in this video was on 6S. But yeah, 8S just rips!

[@douglaselliott8298]

Thank you for NOT taking it to a Gd skate park or launching it 30ft high from a formed plywood ramp. I am so sick to death of that juvenescent sadistic abuse of these 'toys' from 90% of RC car content creators I could become violently emetic.

Yes it is. They use different front a-arms and front axles though.

[@AverageRCBasher]

I almost bought this rig, I have an XMaxx big boy so I bought the Notorious instead

[@rcdriver]

Nice collection. Choosing which one to run first must be tough. lol

[@rcclan]

Hi rc driver are you OK if I use a little bit of your edit of the losi on my own channel just showing some clips of the car so it will only be one or two bits 😉

[@jimborghini2761]

I want to buy this truck but the cage needs to be easily removable. I have a 1/10 Rock Rey and it is a bitch to get into. The mud guards need to be held on by 4 screws rather than snap-ins. The servo arm is only accessible if you remove the servo itself. A small hole below the servo arm would be cool.

[@BLACKBOX1004]

i love losi ~❤ so Amazing car❤

[@MrSteveESQ]

Great looking rig but plastic drive shafts. 😝

[@rcdriver]

They're a composite slider with metal universals on the ends. The composite looks like it has a lot of fiber in it for strength. Judging by the coloring of the plastic, it looks like a much better quality than other parts on the buggy. Haven't seen any reports of them failing in groups, but I have seen a number of reports of shattered metal shafts on other high powered RC's.

[@RoadsideRC]

We have broken one so far in the 4 months of ownership - but it was a really bad wreck that suddenly stopped the wheel. Otherwise, they have been very strong running full power on 8S.
