Radical Losi Baja Rey Build Part 2! Installing Front Suspension & Gearcase Option Parts | RC Driver

[@Uneek637]

Great seeing the Reys getting some love on KZbin.

[@jnmwtkns]

One of favorite go to rigs for neighborhood races and some competitive track times while running in this class. I dont do the basher jumps with this one though. But straight out of the box on 2s its been super solid. Only ever HAD to dismantle it but was for basic maintenance. Diff oils and gear checks. Love it as much as my trx udr.

[@jamesmorrell2901]

I know this video is a year old, but it was of great help to me yesterday when I installed the SSD aluminum front bulkhead on my Baja Rey V2. I went back to your video today, and realized I had made a very minor mistake in getting the lower hinge pins in. I was able to correct the mistake with the body on in a matter of minutes with only partial disassembly of the RPM bumper and lower hinge pin retainer. If it hadn't been for your video I wouldn't have been able to find and correct my error. Thank you for great Baja Rey upgrade videos.

[@rcjunkie260]

And I have my 2nd losi baja rey on back order with amain hobby. My two boys can't wait! 8 year old and 14 year old. BUY THE BAJA REY YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. 1 KING SHOCKS AND BLACK RINO!

[@MrJoseph5120]

What’s the part number for the front shocks. Also what did you use for pivot balls to fit the front shock tower. You only listed the rear. Thank you very much

[@F-U-CKYTCensorship]

I think he skipped a step unintentionally.. the front shocks installed in this video are listed as “rear” shocks from Pro-Line #6063-01 for the Slash 4x4.. a bushing or ball insert is certainly missing for the top mount and it isn’t shown being swapped out here but he does say he swaps out the lower ball.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@justindover8142]

Omg the baja Rey is one of my dream rcs

[@markcole6475]

I have found that it’s way easier working on these trucks to just remove the entire body and roll cage together as one…I believe like 12 screws. A couple of screws by the B pillar are tricky to get too with the body on but still much faster taking everything off together! I’ve done just about everything you’ve done to yours and what a difference it makes with durability and handling!

[@GetOutsideProductions]

Do you have any advice for upgrading the front sway bar Baja Rey Mint 400?

[@BlueDually4x4]

The Baja Ray is one of the fast rigs I would like to get someday.

[@paulpadilla5288]

Nice upgrades....that thing is gonna be a Beast!👍

[@timexchen]

I found 3 out 4 screws on the front spindle are impossible to remove by using 2mm hex driver. Only one can be removed but it feels really sketchy. May I know how you managed to get them off? Thanks!

[@sebassmessi9634]

Hey how did you get to fix the ball joint on the front arm because I’m really struggling to get it on

[@rcjunkie260]

I've had my baja rey for 2 months now. Absolutely love this truck. My up grades so far, ssd aluminum 3rd rear member,ssd aluminum front diff case, savox 1858 servo,arrma motor heatsink and two motor fans (1 hot racing, 1 stock arrma. More upgrades to come. If you are on the fence with this truck just because of all the body and roll cage hardware. It is no big deal once you drive and jump this truck (realistic jumps)!!! Jump that DAM f*#^@% FENCE and have a blast😜

[@hugeybeater_]

what shocks does it use?

[@latte9285]

hey man ..... what do you prefer trx4 defender or trx4 sport

[@brysonkuhn3290]

The bronco all day long. The TRX-4 sport is also cool!

[@26860222]

Great project just got one baja rey looking forward to do something of it as well

[@juang5622]

I haven’t found that rear shock tower for my Baja Rey . Got racing Sold out .

[@rakeshdasary1395]

Nice video there on the upgrades, by any chance, can we add hand brakes to Baja Rey’s like the Felony’s??

[@SRBEnvisioning]

Hey, good video I also have a older Losi Baja Rey truck I got from a facebook deal that I plan on doing a build on the youtubes here on my channel eventually. One of the question I do have is, when I was taking apart my truck all the screws and such were all rusty and I wanted to change them all out with stainless steel ones, is there a kit I could buy that has all the screws required to be able to put the truck back together completely with stainless steel screws, anyways let me know please of if someone else in the comments knows maybe they can help, thank your for your time, have a great day!

[@barharborbasher249]

Unfortunately camox4 doesn’t have much aftermarket support.... hello Losi looks like your our new race circuit platform

[@jonathanromero9026]

Where did you get those power tools?

[@v.e.7236]

After owning my Baja Rey for a while and seeing the different variations of that platform, I wish I had researched my purchase and gotten a Hammer Rey, w/ a more robust suspension. Just finished w/ the aluminum upgrade parts for all of the pivot points, like upper/lower rear control arm attachments, shock towers, steering knuckles, front CV driveshafts, etc. I'm now looking at shock upgrades to improve my suspension compliance over rough terrain. A real blast to zip around the yard or field w/ abandon, but have to say that 3S mode is a bit too much power (I've got the transmitter set at the 25% throttle setting) and will look into getting some 2S batteries for a more sane experience vs ludicrous mode on 3S.

[@shoreline8686]

would just replacing the pinion with a 10 tooth keep it from destroying itself?

[@v.e.7236]

@@shoreline8686 Had not considered the pinion gear, so, thanks for the suggestion.

[@bucketlist4wd423]

It says you have to for 3s ​@@v.e.7236

[@alfredocanto9901]

Nice video, you should make a video in slow motion in how to remove the losi cage. I been looking for videos but haven't found one yet.

[@jonathanromero9026]

You should try out duo shocks

[@GrimJerr]

I've got my eye on a Baja Rey, been wanting a Racer to contrast the Axe Crawler.

[@v.e.7236]

Look at the Hammer Rey, w/ a much more robust chassis and suspension and dual rear shocks and HD driveshafts up front vs fairly thin metal versions on the Baja Rey (although you can buy upgraded CV versions). Better wheels/tires, too.

[@Video_Lounge]

What drill are you using? I gotta have it, it takes forever to unscrew the body panels.

[@rcdriver]

It’s a Makita DF010D with MIP bits.

[@Video_Lounge]

​@@rcdriver ahhh thank you so much!!! as you know its annoying to do it by hand with any rc, especially the black rino. I kept pausing the video to get a glimpse of it but that didn't work out lol. Thank you again i really do appreciate it and your videos. I appreciate your style, honest, direct, easy to understand & always show what parts & where to get them. Thank you for responding!! cant wait to see it when its finished. Now i gotta upgrade mine 😁

[@lukenukem1164]

Nice! Do you think the rc4x4 king shocks would work on this?

[@izzyr5716]

Does anyone know if I can swap the Baja rey front axles on to the rock rey

[@Mrjazzzery]

Will this work with the losi clone also?

[@jerzinho92]

I love when you start to remove the front and realize you should actually disassemble everything for that. Working on this car is a nightmare. It reminds me the Hpi baja 5...

I just got a db pro, I think this one is next.

[@sebassmessi9634]

Hey rc driver I was wondering if the front shocks you got are worth it because I’m wondering if this hold up the weight and have decent height and would be super low

[@landonjones5279]

Hey bro don’t know if you still need it but I run the same shocks and they float I can do 1 foot whoops and the car doesn’t even look likes it’s moving def worth it ride heights adjustable

Nice truck. I really want to see someone get to the bottom of why Losi parts are so expensive though. The whole RCs aren't too bad. Some parts prices just make zero sense.

[@alexcalhoun2672]

Great video and great project! This is a bit off topic but I have been seeing this lately along with some of my buying decisions that Arrma has started using a new radio system recently with their 1/10 scale cars. The new transmitter, the Spectrum STX2 has faced some controversy over the previous, Tactic TTX 300. I am looking to buy the Arrma Big Rock 4x4 BLX and saw this issue. I work very hard for my money and want to invest it well so if you could please do a review on these two radio systems and give your opinions that would be greatly appreciated!

[@jaguarsrcfamily101]

Alex Calhoun 26 tactic is way better!!!!!!!

[@rcjunkie260]

That remote is junk! The radio that comes with the losi baja rey is junk to. RTR trucks come with a bad accident waiting to happen to your new rc. Hate to but it like that. Sad isn't it 🤨

[@keithsmodelsandrcs6593]

New sub righ1for the support my friend i like rc, s but im a scale builder at monent still learning thogh thank you Keith 👍👊

[@stevejackson3564]

A lot of hop up parts will make this beast stout

[@madnessrc8328]

whats your favourite rc car?

[@rcdriver]

All of them of course! 🤣

[@robbryan3044]

Not sure why you're working on it with the boat panels removed, and cage still attached...IT'S MUCH, MUCH easier to work on with the cage REMOVED. Not only that, but, removing just the body panels requires removing 20 screws. On to of that, to get to the center section, you'll have almost a dozen more screws to remove (Lexan interior, "radiator fans, etc), and, even then, you won't have full access to the entire center section. On the other hand, removing just the cage is as simple as removing only 12 screws. Not only that, but, by removing just the 12 screws attaching the cage to the chassis, you would then have access to EVERYTHING. Put another way, you're not just don't things the "hard way"...you doing things the "extra hard way".

NEW VIDEO

[@addictedfabricationgarage3541]

In my experience you don’t fill in those difs with oil, you are going to create a lot of drag and kill your battery run time. These difs are not like the 1/8 race cars you are used to. I recommend grease for what it’s worth.

[@rcdriver]

The gears inside of a diff will eventually cut a path through grease and lose the resistance, causing the truck to “diff out” more and heat up. This not only leads to poor handling but possible parts failure sooner. Oil is the preferred choice for diff tuning.

[@bransonbasher6534]

So, you do know how to fill a diff with silicone oil. I was really wondering if you had forgotten how to do that. I thought maybe running RTRs for quick reviews had made you lazy or maybe dementia was getting the better of you.
