Fly In My Soup Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 After some teasers surrounding the release of this, losi finally revealed what it was... Those squeamish of price look away now.....priced at a $800......seems quite a lot for what resembles a diy nitro conversion to brushless.....props to losi for changing it up again with product development though.... 4MM ANODIZED ALUMINUM CHASSIS PLATE LONG-TRAVEL 4-LINK LIVE REAR AXLE RUGGED SHAFT-DRIVEN 4WD SEALED METAL-GEAR DIFFERENTIALS ALUMINUM COIL-OVER OIL-FILLED SHOCKS WITH PRE-LOAD ADJUSTMENT SEALED SINGLE-SPEED METAL-GEAR TRANSMISSION LONG-TRAVEL INDEPENDENT FRONT SUSPENSION POWERFUL DYNAMITE® FUZE™ 1/6 1200KV BRUSHLESS MOTOR DYNAMITE 6S-CAPABLE 160A WATERPROOF ESC EASY-ACCESS REAR BATTERY DOOR SPEKTRUM WATERPROOF METAL-GEAR STEERING SERVO SPEKTRUM™ WATERPROOF RECEIVER WITH AVC® TECHNOLOGY DESERT CLAW TIRES ON DESERT TRUCK 6" WHEELS AVAILABLE IN TWO COLOR OPTIONS FEATURES LONG TRAVEL 4-LINK LIVE REAR AXLE Soak up massive whoops with the same realistic handling and movement of a full-scale desert truck. LONG TRAVEL INDEPENDENT A-ARM FRONT SUSPENSION Rip across the terrain with confidence that your steering input stays true. COIL-OVER OIL FILLED SHOCKS WITH PRE-LOAD ADJUSTMENT Adjustable oil filled coil-over shocks on all four corners enhance the truck's scale looks while soaking up the gnarliest terrain. The oversized shocks are fully-adjustable and allow you to customize the handling of the vehicle to maximize performance and dominate the desert, track or anywhere you take the Super Baja Rey. 50+ MPH DYNAMITE® FUZE 1/6TH 1200KV BRUSHLESS MOTOR AND 160A ESC Hit ballistic 50+ MPH speeds with 6S LiPo battery power. FULL BODIED ROLL CAGE Just like the 1:1 desert trucks, the Super Baja Rey truck comes with a super-rigid roll cage that enhances the truck's scale looks and durability. TRUE-TO-SCALE BODY PANELS Four piece bolt-on body panels give the truck an authentic factory look. ALUMINUM CHASSIS Rigid 4mm plate with a 4mm upper deck for added durability and performance. 4X4 DRIVELINE WITH ADJUSTABLE DIFFERENTIALS Full-time four-wheel drive provides amazing traction. The front, center and rear differentials control wheel spin and can be tuned for various conditions. LED LIGHT BARS Front and rear LED light bars cast more than enough light for running at night. LARGE SCALE SERVO The robust Spektrum™ S904 waterproof digital servo is designed to handle whatever you can throw at it. Monstrous torque combines with lightning fast speeds to deliver the most intense Super Baja Rey experience possible. REAR-LOADING BATTERY The innovative rear-loading battery feature makes it possible to change the battery quickly, easily and without the inconvenience of removing the body. FULL-SIZE SPARE TIRE Not only does the spare tire add to the authentic look, it also serves as a true spare. THE FULL-THROTTLE FREEDOM OF AVC® TECHNOLOGY The receiver's built-in AVC® (Active Vehicle Control) system works behind the scenes, making hundreds of 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. The patent-pending AVC systems adds a level of performance that simply cannot be found with any vehicle from any manufacturer other than Horizon Hobby. Like traction control in your full-scale vehicle, you can activate or deactivate the system on the fly and adjust the level of stability based on driving conditions. Any R/C vehicle can go fast and with AVC you can go faster while maintaining optimum stability in all driving conditions. SPEKTRUM™ DX2E ACTIVE™ RADIO SYSTEM The Spektrum™ DX2e Active™ radio system offers advanced features like AVC control, a 3-position throttle limiting switch and travel adjust. It also has an expansion port that lets you add the Spektrum Speedometer or a Bluetooth module and phone mount to utilize the Spektrum Dashboard app. PERFORMANCE ADD-ONS OPTIONAL SPEKTRUM FPV MOUNT Adding the optional Spektrum FPV mount lets you easily install an all-in-one FPV (First Person View) system. When combined with the Spektrum heavy-duty FPV camera (SPMVA2510) and a headset, you're ready to experience a driving sensation more intense than any other vantage point can offer. SPEEDOMETER ADD-ON Adding the optional Spektrum™ Speedometer allows you to instantly see your vehicle's speed in real time (other items may be required). It also records top speed and features an easy-toread LED screen. SPEKTRUM DASHBOARD MOBILE APP The Spektrum Dashboard Mobile application allows you to view everything from speed, motor or engine temperature, battery voltage and more (optional accessories required).

Oh How Original Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 That looks quite good to my eye. But allowing for our typical conversion chart, if it's nigh on £700 when it hits the UK, I can't see it being a huge seller myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R46 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Woolly under powered 6s 160a come on! xmaxx still top contender in my camp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I bet this will be discontinued in a years time. It's 1:6, so can't be used for any 1:5 racing, it won't use 1:5 parts like wheels. It's just a scaled up, part for part Baja Rey with all it's maintenance issues. Horizon really missed a trick with this, they should have taken a 5ive or DBXL front and centre and made a new rear live axle for it. It's like they are determined to make the Losi brand crap. This will go the same way as the 1:6 touring car they discontinued after 6 months. 9 minutes ago, R46 said: Woolly under powered 6s 160a come on! xmaxx still top contender in my camp They aren't comparable, literally. One is a truggy with big wheels and this is a live axle TT. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-boy Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Similar to my thoughts.... perhaps they needed a home for all the electrics that we're destined for the losi's... 23 minutes ago, mond said: I bet this will be discontinued in a years time.

autobutcher Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I suspect mond has hit all the points, discon after a year, odd size, etc. I love all these type of trucks with flappy axles hanging out the back, if I had any faith that it would still be on sale this time next year I would have one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seemingly true.!! This is why I like msuk! Real opinions from real people, actual buyers and users of rc hobby gear......not a review from a sponsored seller..... Maybe this is why I have to relentlessly search various Rc 'news' sites for new release articles to bring to you to see......the companies are undoubtedly afraid of honest opinions ?????? I reached out to some recently to be given a heads up come release time but never got much of a response.....bizarre as this is the largest rc forum in Europe is it not?????? I suppose, as always, the proof of an rc is in the real world capabilities.....I myself will form a fuller opinion when an msuk member buys it ....then bashes the life out of it Edited December 29, 2017 by Fly In My Soup 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autobutcher Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) If this is at the $800 mark and it shows real world promise I will be having one, can't have the yeti getting lonely out on Dartmoor!

bertberr Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 800 usd it is, about 600 odd quid at amain, plus postage etc, so about 800 quid imported I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Guys there on the Horizon uk website at £745.45 so I dare say they will be a touch cheaper at Wheelspin ? https://www.horizonhobby.co.uk/Produkt-Landingpages/Losi-Super-Baja-Rey.htm?SessionId=&a=catalog&p=55780 Decided I’m going to get one when they become available 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
