Losi Baja Rey & Rock Rey RTR BND trucks

Losi have announced the soon release of their new Baja Rey and Rock Rey 4WD 1/10th scale BND kits. The proven Baja Rey desert truck is built on one of the most advanced chassis ever conceived for a ready-to-run vehicle. It comes equipped with a Dynamite 3800Kv brushless power system, as well as a long-travel suspension, so owners can tear across all types of terrain at speeds of 70km/h or more. The chassis design blends scale realism with functional 4WD capabilities. The foundation consists of a 3mm, anodised aluminium chassis plate that is integrated with a realistic roll cage made of super-tough composite material. To this it adds a long-travel, independent front suspension and 4-link live rear axle that look and function exactly like their full-scale counterparts. The single-speed transmission, as well as the front and centre diffs, are sealed against the elements and engineered to handle the abuse of a high-output brushless motor and punishing terrain. Mod 1 gears further increase the durability of this desert beast. The long-travel shocks soak up the energy from big bumps and jumps. They also feature threaded shock bodies with adjustment collars so owners can fine tune the pre-load settings of the coil-over springs. External bump stops provide plush landings on the hardest surfaces. The Rock Rey builds on the same chassis technology but comes with a rock racer body shell and larger 2.2” x 5.8″ wheels and tyres. Both vehicles come factory-assembled and including a Spectrum SRS6000 receiver with Active Vehicle Control, meaning owners can use an existing or choose a new Spektrum DSMR transmitter to get the trucks going in no time.
