Dobbsie Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I'm a bit gutted that they discontinued the Rock Rey kit, it would be perfect as I have bought a ESC/motor combo for the lads FTX Outlaw (which I want to replace) Is thee anything like that around now? Or does anyone know of any shops which have or might have one of the Losi RR kits? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No brains Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) I think you have to be lucky they are discontuned for some time, I was lucky one has poped up lost month for 250 euro, I bought it with out thinking, I ordered a castle 1415 2400kv for it and a hobbywing max 10 sct esc and a power hd servo, I waiting for the parts to arrive then I can start building it. Good luck finding one. Edited January 26, 2020 by No brains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) The Yeti kit is similar, in terms of what it's designed to do. The problem with Losi and most Horizon products is they discontinue stuff a lot, parts support then dries up too. I realise Axial are now owned by Horizon, but Axial was such a long established brand before Horizon bought them, parts support should go on forever. @No brains - is shipping free from that site? I am looking at some stuff now, a little over 300 euros, and the price isn't changing when selecting shipping, theirs no prices or references to it anywhere?

mond Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) I'm considering selling my Rock Rey if used is of some interest? As a car its very good fun but as a kit it's horrible. I did a build thread about two years ago. Edited January 27, 2020 by mond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for that, so I'd save about £60 buying a TRX4 from them, that's a hell of a nice saving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very, very strong but because of that very hard to work on. To get to two of the diffs requires almost complete disassembly of the car. I've never had any problems with mine but I don't look forward to the day I have to change all the bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be interested, are you able to post some pictures of it's current condition and let me know what kind of price you'd be looking for please?

May not be until the weekend. It's exactly the same build as in the thread but now has black aluminium panels and the original shocks. Will clean and photograph.

I have been offered another RC car in the meantime so could you give me an indication of your price please? I don't necessarily need a motor/ESC, but pretty flexible really.

Will give it some thought and look at the going rate for the parts etc. I've got a bunch of stuff to sell so will take stock on Saturday.
