[@suthius85]

I watch a lot of videos from various RC channels. I have to say that Brett is THE best presenter/reviewer. Very knowledgeable. Very articulate. Gets his thoughts out very smoothly with no hesitations.

[@Good1vibes]

What’s the run time on this RC buggy?

[@5scbasher17]

11:00 this is what I like to see. Honesty in reviews. they will break, it is the nature of the hobby. This looks Basher approved.

[@SebastianLong]

I've had this RC for almost a year now, and after a couple upgrades, it is one of my more durable RCs, even considering it's size and weight. I installed a front aluminum diff case, aluminum bell crank, and a 70KG servo. Yes, that isn't a typo, 70 KG. Other upgrades, body protection rather, is T-Bone racing front and rear bumpers, front shock shields, and a belly skidplate. Since these updates/upgrades, I've have very few mechanical problems. Last breakage was I broke a rod end on the upper rear links. Before that I smacked into a rock the size of the truck and broke an a-arm. This thing does mutilate tires and should keep extras on hand. I've got 2 sets, plus a few from when I replaced 2 because 1 blew out. I replace two at a time because it will spin the tire that's bald and make it even harder to drive on full power on 8s.

[@JonJonsOutdoors]

So glad you guys did a review. I was looking at it and thought, “I hope A-Main has a review”!! Love what you guys do!!

[@practicinglifematters7598]

I love this thing and also want to mention. Steering bellcrank and servo saver breaks fast. Those you mentioned and the servo savor all have broke on my truck. The shock tower 3 times. I hope someone makes a metal one soon. Overall still a great truck with power and sweet features. It’s fun to drive and at the end of the day that’s what matters!

[@ToGrimmToWin]

Knife Matter I broke the servo saver, spindle, c hubs, upper suspension arm

That’s not an RC..... that’s a damn monster!!!👍👍

[@spyem1]

Losi really needs to address the steering issues this thing has. I bought this truck about 3 weeks ago and it's been on my bench almost the whole time. It's the first Losi I've ever bought and it's left a really bad taste in my mouth. With that said, when you get this truck dialed in, it's a beast and really fun to drive. The suspension system is incredible and the way it handles sliding through corners is so much fun! Great review!

Hey Scott! What parts do you need? We might have them. I don't like hearing about your SRR just sitting there. It's too awesome not to be used. -Brett

Hi Brett, thanks for the great videos! Don't know if you have reviewed it already but the Arrma Mojave came out recently and wanted to hear your thoughts on it compared to the Losi Super Baja Rey, Traxxas UDR and other Trophy and Short Course trucks, and if its worth the (pretty high) price tag.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Dang, you're not the first one to say this. Not sure if the SRR had some weak links to begin with but we didn't have any issues with steering parts. The steering throw isn't the best in the SRR, but we didn't break anything. Maybe Losi addressed those issues with the early models. Sorry to hear that though. If you need help finding parts let me know, i'd be happy to help you BBRC. -Brett

I put those rock rey type tires on my xmaxx. Now the xmaxx does rock rey better than rock rey. Plus Xmaxx is wayyyyyy more durable. With the skinnier tires, the xmaxx chews up grass, gravel a lot more as it accelerates up to speed. The xmaxx also jumps balanced, it doesn't nose dive like this thing.

Hey Grzegorz. What do you mean by show the used models? At around 11:00 we talk about the parts we broke and modifications worth doing; there aren't many. The E-Revo 2.0 does around 60MPH with the stock gearing and 70MPH with the optional pinion. The SRR does around 50MPH. Hope this helps. -Brett

[@AlphaMachina]

Should come with a metal cross brace from the factory for the price. It's not a bad price for what you get, but still, that's just ridiculous. I'd just assume pay $400 less and get a DHK Zombie or Optimus XL 1/8th scale. They have more metal and can bash a lot harder without breaking components.

[@mattgibbons4021]

What lipos do you guys generally use, not specifically this car, just whenever you drive what would you prefer?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

We use a lot of different cars, and many times they have different plug or connector requirements. One of the packs that solve this are the Venom packs with the UNI 2.0 connector adapters. Makes life a lot easier! They're usually a lower C rating so the power isn't the best, but they are so convenient that they're great for a grab and go situation, or general bashing. We also use some Gens Ace packs sometime because they have larger 6S packs for great prices and power is decent. And lastly are ProTek 100C or 120C for maximum power/speed. These are more expensive but the "punch" out of them is awesome. Some of them only have bullet connectors, so you need to solder up your own leads sometimes; it's a bit more of a hassle, but if you want that extra power, well worth it. Here's one of the Venom packs with the UNI 2.0 connector adapters; fits 5 different connector types: www.amainhobbies.com/venom-power-2s-30c-hard-case-lipo-battery-w-uni-2.0-connector-7.4v-5000mah-vnr15149/p449627 And then here is a ProTek with bullets (you supply the connector if you don't use bullets): www.amainhobbies.com/protek-rc-2s-120c-low-ir-sigraphene-hv-lcg-lipo-battery-7.6v-6300mah-ptk-5115-20/p1060483 -Brett

[@jcdebbs]

I broke the right side lower suspension arm exactly like you did. I ran into a rock as well and I hear a loud bang as I hit it. First major repair after a month of heavy use. Still waiting for the aluminum suspension arms to arrive so I can get it back in action. Also tossing in a Spektrum S9020 1/5 scale servo while I’m at it. Last, about how long was the battery life out of that 8s set up you were using? Great vid.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Right! It's almost like the tire had no where to go but wedge into that rock and tear the arm back. We don't blame the car for that. Happy to hear the arm was your major repair after a month of bashing. When we went out bashing the batteries lasted somewhere around 30 minutes, but that is half driving and half filming. So in an all-out run, 10-15 minutes would probably be our times, but unfortunately i don't have specific times. Have you already swapped out your servo? I'm interested to hear how that works out. -Brett

[@JerseyStyle7]

Ok a yr later, what do you think about this RC car compared to the DBXLE 2.0 ?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

It's a great buggy. It's much more oriented for rough terrain and captures that particular look and detail. The DBXLE 2.0 is much more stretched and flat, great for smoother terrain or whoops, but I wouldn't drive it aggressively through rocks like you can on the SRR. The hinged body and chassis layout of the DBXLE 2.0 is a lot more convenient. But the looks and scale details aren't quite as nice as the SRR. It's a give and take. They're both great vehicles, designed for different applications and terrain. -Brett

[@JerseyStyle7]

AMain Hobbies ok One more question would you get the X Maxx over both of those buggys ?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

No. The X-Maxx sits high off the ground and is designed to do wheelies and hit big jumps; it's designed for a different application than these two buggies. The real question here is; how do you want to use the buggy? And what terrain type do you have to drive in? You'll be much better off if you get the vehicle that will match how you drive. Do you want to hit big jumps, or do you want speed and high performance? Will you be driving on mostly smooth fast terrain, or do you have rough and slower, uneven terrain? You're asking some great questions. I'm glad you're doing your research before making a purchase! -Brett

It's unclear because Losi does not provide the battery compartment dimensions, but the 4S battery Losi recommends is 139x48x48mm, and you'd need two. The X-Maxx battery comparment is 197x51.5x44mm which is really close, so I think the batteries should fit. You'll have to measure your battery and see if it's bigger than the Losi recommended battery. -Brett

Can you put a engine sound box in these?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Probably. I think this vehicle has been discontinued though, sadly. -Brett

[@user-cg4hx1kp5r]

I keep hearing people saying the servo and steering just stops and stuff is this reliable could I jump it at a skatepark

[@AMain_Hobbies]

You could take it to the skatepark, but don't drive it too hard there; skateparks are fun but r/c cars aren't built to take that type of punishment. As for the steering issue, we haven't heard of that, and our SRR hasn't had that issue. -Brett

[@user-cg4hx1kp5r]

@@AMain_Hobbies thanks but I think I'm going to go with the arrma notorious 6s from aamain fo you think that's s better basher

[@AMain_Hobbies]

@@user-cg4hx1kp5r Yeah, the Notorious is a great basher and you can probably push the Notorious a little harder than the SRR. The Kraton 6S is also great. The Big Rock 3S is another great option, and a lot less expensive. This is it: www.amainhobbies.com/arrma-big-rock-4x4-v3-3s-blx-1-10-rtr-brushless-monster-truck-black-ara4312v3/p1250113 -Brett

[@BIGGBULLxxx]

Also does it have a lot of torque twist from high speed take offs on black top or concrete roads. Thanks

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Yes, there is some torque twisting. It's not too bad though and kind of cool to watch. -Brett

[@BIGGBULLxxx]

@@AMain_Hobbies ...thanks

[@vulcandawg7623]

So technically its an almost ready to run as it doesn't come with lipos or a charger.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Most RTR's do not include LiPo's because of shipping restrictions. There are some RTR's that still include NiMH batteries, but it's rare. -Brett

Who doesn't LOVE zip ties

[@sberry00]

My wife

[@lifestylebyav5683]

That's a beast 💪... However my experience with the smaller Rock Rey was pathetic, reverse & steering didn't work righht out of the box. Keeping it in box as it is, total waste of money 😭

[@LawrenceTimme]

So that cross brace is weaker than a cable tie 🤔

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Did we mention it was a Carbon filled Fiberglass, Titanium backed, Magnesium injected, Triple Carbide 7075-T6, Multi-Vitamin zip tie? -Brett

[@LawrenceTimme]

@@AMain_Hobbies no you didn't. I bet those are expensive 😂

[@Mikezak7]

how much does it cost i am thinking about buying it for my neice that is 13

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Hi Michael, it's about $799, but not recommended for youth, or new users. We carry more beginner friendly R/C's if you'd like some recommendations. -Brett

[@yurdsdanlog]

Do we need to change the gear to 18t when using 8s lipo batteries?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

It comes geared for 8S use. If you smaller batteries than 8S, then you'll need to change the gearing. -Brett

[@yurdsdanlog]

@@AMain_Hobbies Thanks! Appreciate your help!

[@BIGGBULLxxx]

What's the run time? And what's size mah of those battery packs. Thanks

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Run time was pretty good on 8S with 6500mAh packs, I think we achieved around 10-15 minutes, but pushing the buggy pretty hard. Runtime would increase if we didn't drive so hard. -Brett

[@rooseveltrainesjr1536]

I was looking at the new Mojave. Then i saw this. I dont like i cant put a 2200kv . motor in this. An front end break easy. Decision.

[@BobbyJr556]

I crashed mine and now I have horrible torque twist, how do I get rid of it?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Our SRR has a nasty Torque Twist too from day one, but it seems to be the nature of the beast. If you're having a more than normal twisting experience, I would recommend ensuring the aluminum upper and lower chassis plates are not bent or twisted. If they are, they will need to be replaced. Also look for any other bent parts like rods, shock shafts and hinge pin holders. I would also remove the shocks and tires and ensure the front suspension arms have no resistance in their motion - they should move freely. Repeat for the rear end. Everything look ok at this point? -Brett

[@michaelregan427]

Solid rear axle + locked rear diff (I think, it's locked on the RR). Add in a high output brushless system and torque steer will always be present. Not many cars on the market are as fast as this one with the SRA. Adjust the AVC to help with torque twist, launch easier, or even consider spacing the wheels out more

[@BIGGBULLxxx]

Which one is better the super rock rey or the UDR? thanks

[@AMain_Hobbies]

They're specialized to be best in different conditions. The SRR is a rock buggy and does well going through chunky terrain, where the UDR is suited for a bit smoother, looser dirt, similar to what a real Trophy Truck would race in. Flowy terrain, if that makes sense. I can tell you the UDR is a little lighter and smaller, so it's slightly easier to lug around from spot to spot. -Brett

[@BIGGBULLxxx]

@@AMain_Hobbies thanks

[@ramtrucks721]

You said SSR?.. you mean SRR?

[@theirishaxe9405]

What about the xmaxx 8s? Not as powerful?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

The X-Maxx is really powerful! But, we have never had it in our studio to make a video on. One day perhaps! -Brett

[@lancewilliams949]

That's weird you got only 54mph with 2 4s batteries.....I know a guy that did 61-62mph out the box-and did 80+ after changing pinion gear.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Maybe the batteries? -Brett

Cool truck wondering why no planes being reviewed i buy alot of plane gear from you guys thanks

[@travisbrink7322]

I ran into one yesterday on a "one day only" sale for $85. Mind whirling of scams, Chinese clones, and receiving a 1:16, 5.5 mph, 4 wheel drive turd, I moved on. Couldn't get it outta my head, so later checked out Losi web site. After seeing their listed price, contacted customer service to see WTH. Was informed that "factory rejects" do get allocated to select distributes for demos, trade shows, flea markets, etc. - Who knows what these distributors actually do with them. Nether Losi nor Horizon will admit, claim, endorse, or support these "rejects". Basically - "buy at your own risk, but if you do order one, and it turns out to be something different - Please inform us". I shopped around and found one for $63! I TOOK THAT CHANCE. (actually, paid with PayPal. So, they took that chance). After shipping and all, came to $68 - with 2, 3s batteries, and charger. UNBELIEVABLE! . . . . And I WONT believe it - till it shows up in 3 more days. . . .Fingers, toes, everything, crossed till then. Oh - no Raceline available, only baja designs.

[@johnnyyuma9326]

Are you sure, it's only 40 mph on 6s? Are you sure????????

[@AMain_Hobbies]

100% sure Johnny. The truck has lots of torque though. -Brett
