So after running this new RC Trophy Truck for a bit, how does it hold up? What can be improved? And what did you guys and girls wonder about?
Losi has just released the Baja Rey 2.0, I have the 2023 Ford Raptor R Method version in the studio and out for a test run, but there is also a Ford F100 Isenhouer version available. The Method version looks fantastic, it features licensed BF Goodrich KR3 tires in a more durable compound, Method 101 rims with a dull chrome finish, lots of King shock details and a completely new suspension setup to increase the realistic look and feel of what is one of the most successful RC Trophy Trucks available. With a tried and tested electronics setup, consisting of a 130 A waterproof Spektrum Brushless ESC and a 3800 kV motor, get ready to send 3S lipo power through the reinforced drive train for some scale Desert Running fun!
From Losi:
For over 50 years Baja, California, has been the proving ground for products in development by auto and aftermarket manufacturers. It’s one of the toughest off-road environments on the planet and a grueling test of endurance. These same characteristics also make Baja the perfect place
to test the mettle of desert truck racing drivers.
Unlike typical “closed course” racing at speedways and similar tracks, at Baja the racing is checkpoint-style. From sun up to sun down, competitors race across hundreds of miles of both populated and deserted land. They encounter rocks, sand washes, dry lake beds, cattle crossings, mountain passes, and more - but few paved roads. When the going gets tough, the tough keep going!

I've killed a bunch of servos on my fleet of Baja Reys, but that was probably accelerated wear from the endpoints being set too wide. Other than that, only a few minor things have broken or gone missing.

that has to be the best RC spot ever, so hard to find a spot in Northern Michigan. People everywhere, do most of my rcing at the dunes spring and fall after tourists go home, which they never really do. I bought the hammer rey which I do like but I should of got the baja, due to handling issues with hammer rey.

You are absolutely right, it is the third version but the first full revision with substantial updates on various components, hence this being named the 2.0. 🙌🏼
@brendanshroyer7696 10 ай бұрын
It's the third revision, but the first big redesign. The first revision added the Raptor body on adapters, revised rear axle casing, rear differential, and rear light bar. The second revision switched the old Dynamite ESC for the newer Spectrum ESC. The 2.0 changes the whole cage and suspension.

@hemistormrc I have a losi rock rey that's a shelf queen, it breaks all the time, bad design by using vaterra twin hammers diff cups that can't handle the power going to it. Losi and horizon hobbies knew this and put the car out anyway. I know this cause I did a review on the rock rey and horizon hobbies edited my review and removed comments showing the design mistakes. That's why I'm waiting to see how the Baja Rey holds up. Very disappointing that horizon hobbies does censorship in their comment page.

The wheel rubbing is definitely a thing. I only got a single pack through it and it's almost through the plastic. That's just running up snd down the street and very minor jumps.
@brendanshroyer7696 10 ай бұрын
Can confirm. It's been an issue on all Baja Reys since the beginning. I saw similar wear on my Traxxas Slash back in the day though, so I wouldn't consider it unusually severe.

@@brendanshroyer7696 I wonder if there's a way to put bump stops somewhere to help? Although you would lose a bit of suspension travel.
@brendanshroyer7696 10 ай бұрын
@@HunterEvolution You can add spacers onto the shock shafts, but you'd need to reduce the travel by a lot because of how much the stock tires expand. If you're mostly planning to drive on asphalt, I'd recommend using a set of short course street tires and putting a large piece of packing tape over the wear spots. The smaller diameter tires will rub less and the tape will catch the impact from any extra hard bumps. As a bonus, your tires will last longer too. The stock tires are way too soft for street use and wear really fast on asphalt.

@brendanshroyer7696 10 ай бұрын
@@HunterEvolution I've had some success with my set of Duratrax Bandito SC tires on my gravel driveway, but they are still noticably less effective off road than on road. And on the flip side my off road tires wear down really fast on pavement and rub through the paint on the body much faster because of their softer compound and larger diameter. Something like the Proline Icon tires might make a good compromise between the two.
