Kev, I’ve been watching you for years but a go through phases of using RC cars. After watching your videos daily again, you’ve inspired me to get back into the hobby and I bought myself the new FTX Rokatan which I love. Thank you for all of your amazing videos and inspiring me to get back into the hobby

[@hotheadedfilmshhf6734]

I knew ken wouldnt like it but if you stiffen the ass end just a little and then put some spacers on top of the tie rod ends to fix the steering geometry it handles pretty good. Locking the rear differential also helps keep it straight and slid around a little more. Vitavon makes a sway bar that turns the fake sway bar into a real on that work but the stock one is pretty bad it is infont of the rear shocks putting a lot of leverage on it. Ik kev probably wont see this but if anyone still wants one then thats how you can make them 10x better

Hey Kev, Avid Subscriber here, bumped into your vids in the recommendations on another vid a fair few years ago, and with me being 40plus in years I must admit that during the first few videos I was desperately trying to find faults and enough of them to turn me off watching and enjoying your content. But being as your content is always very watchable and really put together well, the more I watched the more I liked. 3 years ago after 30odd years I bought my first RC after the Wild Willy and Mud Blaster in the 80s, soon as you first featured the petrol Baja's I was in. Now a 5b Rovan, a 5b Taylor/RCmax, Losi 5t, and now just gonna start a 80cc Raminator and on completion I'll be easily around £15000 in, but loved every minute of the hobby, Driving/Repairing/Upgrading/Testing/Experimenting, love it all, only bit I don't like is the Mrs face when another parcel lands at my door, but at least while that happens I'm somewhere working so it a auto cool off period. Love you channel and look forward to notifications telling me you've dropped another banger. I always look out for you when I'm filling up at petrol station and when I call in Redfin when I'm down that way! Keep it all up Kev and thanks for hours upon hours of unrivalled entertainment!!!

[@venumus1]

Despite looking similar in design at first glance they are actually scale versions of entirely different types of off road racing the hammer Rey is supposed to be a king of the hammers scaler(mix between Baja racing rock bouncing and rock crawling) and the udr is just a driving model of the traxxas trophy truck

[@venumus1]

@Blackmage I think it's on the super rock Rey chassis witch is just a modified sbr chassis but Def not trying to be a trophy truck

Love the hammer rey but you have to do a lot of tuning to get it to feel right. I recommend adjusting the rear links so that the upper links have less link separation from the bottom links. Also recommend replacing the rear sway bar with the vitavon sway bar. Unfortunately out of the box, not rhe greatest but with some modding this thing is a beast.

[@donttakedevenstacos6219]

Not throwing shade but I think it’s more meant for scale desert racing. I could tell the way it squatted when he first took off in the shop. Plus it explains the reason for the handling be crap. The anti roll bars are probably on the looser end. Plus in reality it’s in the air much more than on all 4 wheels. So their isn’t too much of a reason for the sway bars. Which may be “fake”

It's pronounced like "LOW-see" not "LOSS-e". This is modeled after an Ultra Four that competes in The King of the Hammers. Not suppose to be anything like a trophy truck. The Hammers is more of a rock crawling/bouncing and trail riding event than an all out desert race. They're not really meant to be all that fast. The LOW-see competitor to the UDR would be the Super Baja Rey.

[@Maximum_777]

I have the OG Rock Rey, and it's still my favorite RC car, but I've had a completely different experience with mine. They seem to have fixed every "issue" it had, and lengthened the wheelbase, but by doing so, they've seem to have made it too heavy and now it's seemingly too underpowered, or at least too geared down to be fun. The Rock Rey I have by comparison, still being 3S, feels light and powerful, mine is geared up from stock, and currently hits at least 50mph, but it was still much faster than what this seems to be capable of stock. I for instance have the ability to backflip it very easily, and mine has a locked rear diff, which gives it incredible hill climb capabilities and extremely enjoyable handling characteristics off road. You also broke that weird rear mounted sway bar, and to my knowledge it's fake, which is dumb, I can't believe they actually just didn't make it functional, there is however a 2nd or rather real sway bar, deeper in the chassis, and my Rock Rey only has that one, it's well protected and I've yet to brake it. All in all I'm disappointed they've changed it so much, I've driven the 6s UDR, and right now, my geared up Rock Rey Bind and Drive, feels like a lifted lighter UDR, that's just on larger wheels and while it's less stable at speed, it's far more lively off road and better at jumps and flips etc. Ultimately I suggest you gear yours up, and maybe lock that rear diff, it should be a fun car if you can get it to perform better, hopefully yours is just hiding it's potential. Edit: I also remembered something, mine had some form of steering stabilization thing, I think it was called AVC in the receiver, and that limited the throttle as well messed with the steering, I turned that off, made sure the ESC was at full punch and braking settings, and that fixed all the weird power cutting that I experienced when mine was new. IDK if this new one has any of it, but worth a shot.

Good review on this RC, it's not a basher type RC. I looked it up before your video and saw that its basically an extended chassis Rock Rey. Also I may have missed it, but do you have a skate deck and made it into an RC body? Just a thought for the skate park. I did see the pink skate wheels conversion and about to watch the yellow skate wheels.
