    At a Glance

     

    The 1/10th 2.2 Rock Rey™ Rock Racer is incredibly versatile. Not only can it take on rocks with ease, this monster can bash over pretty much anything, anywhere. Through mud and water—at staggering speeds over 40 MPH. It features AVC® technology, too.

    Realistic 4WD Chassis with Long-Travel Suspension

    The Rock Rey chassis is a brilliant blend of scale realism with functional 4WD capabilities. The foundation consists of a 3.5mm, hard-anodized aluminum 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.

    LED Light Bar

    Twelve brilliant LEDs on the light bar cast more than enough light for running at night without placing a huge current demand on the battery.

    Dynamite® 2800Kv Brushless Power System

    The vehicle comes equipped with a Dynamite Fuze™ 2800Kv brushless motor and a waterproof 130A ESC. This potent combination can handle 2S or 3S LiPo batteries (sold separately) and will allow you to hurtle across the landscape at speeds of up to 40+ mph.

    Sealed, Heavy Duty Metal-Gear Transmission and Diffs

    The transmission, as well as the front and center 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 off-road beast.

    Coil-Over Oil-Filled Shocks

    The long-travel shocks do a fantastic job of soaking up the energy from big bumps and jumps. They also feature threaded shock bodies with adjustment collars so you can fine tune the pre-load settings of the coil-over springs. External bump stops on the rear provide plush landings on the hardest surfaces.

    Waterproof Electronics

    The receiver, servo and ESC are all waterproof so you can run anytime, rain or shine.

    Easy-Access Motor

    The motor can quickly be accessed for gear changes and servicing simply by removing three screws in the bottom of the chassis.

    Easy-Access Battery Compartment

    A convenient battery door in the back of the chassis makes it easy to swap batteries without having to remove the body or wrestle with battery straps.

    Bolt-On Body Panels and Detailed Interior

    The bolt-on body panels are incredibly durable and eliminate the need for body posts that might spoil the scale looks. You also get a molded interior that includes a driver and rider figure, both of which sport racing helmet and harness details.

    The Full-Throttle Freedom of AVC® Technology

    When you’re ready to let the brushless motor off the chain, don’t hold back. The receiver’s built-in AVC (Active Vehicle Control®) system will work behind the scenes, making hundreds of tiny throttle and steering adjustments per second, so more of the motor’s power is translated into ballistic speed and acceleration instead of just flying dirt. An AVC adjustment knob on the included DX2E transmitter lets you adjust how much traction control the system provides. You can even turn it off.

    Perhaps, although the Rey doesn't seem to be a big seller. Quite fancied one, until reading about the bearing issues.....

    I like this. Would be a tad aprehenseive buying at that price knowing what issues I had with my mini 8ight though. 

     

    I've used my 5th scale once, couple that with the fact I have loads of places to use a rock racer to its full potential, my rapidly growing love for brushless over IC I would be majorly tempted if I was to swap 5th scale for this.

    Dlux Fab have sucessfully modded the housing to fit a bigger bearing, so shouldn't cause as many issues, only problem is they are based in the USA, but I'm sure someone here in the UK could do it with a bench drill/CNC machine, quote from somewhere else:

     

    "I sent this off to Erik a few weeks ago to see if he could find a way to install a larger inboard pinion bearing in it, and he did! It has a 5x13 bearing now instead of the stock 5x10 bearing. That should hold up much, much better.

    Unfortunately he couldn't figure out how to enlarge the inboard pinion bearing slot in the front diff case, but it's the rear axle that really needs help, so I'm happy."

    Most definitely won't be getting rid of the Yeti to buy that :lol:

     

    I have read about the Losi having lower COG (this is the baja rey vs yeti score), meaning better handling, and it doesn't kick up the rear as much as the yeti. But this is all hearsay and I do not own both, saying that I would probably get the Losi over the Axial if I had the money, aluminium chassis too, only thing is the annoying battery tray but not a difficult fix.

    My comment wasn't directed at you :)

    I just don't like the look of it and I like my Yeti, so it would be totally backwards to get rid of an RC I enjoy, to purchase one that 'maybe' just as good lol.

    Can't see it being as good fun as a Yeti myself, but I'll await some proper reviews.

    I doubt that, but tbh, it depends what you like in an RC.

    For me, the Yeti couldn't be any better, but if someone doesn't really like the Yeti and buys this, then they may think it's a lot better.

    There's also the group of people who jazz things up because it was free or 'borrowed'

    And the other group of people who don't like to admit they made a mistake and claim something is great lol.

    It's hard to really get a good idea of what something is like without using it yourself.

    If it cures the issue, ones cap is doffed.

     

    Also read that the Rey handles better than the Score, seemed good in videos, though the Score looks better to me, lol...

    Do they sell ready done items? 

     

    Modded AR60 housing (for Wraith/Bomber)

    http://www.dluxfab.com/#!/Modified-Wraith-Bomber-Housings/p/32422412/category=12405705

     

    They also do one for the front diff housing of the Yeti:

    And one for the SCX10:

    http://www.dluxfab.com/#!/Modified-AX10-SCX10-Housings/p/36153197/category=12405706

     

    They ship worldwide, bought stuff from Erik and he's great to deal with, and if you ask nicely he will sometimes mark as low value for customs, he doesn't charge over the top for shipping either.
