My Losi Baja Raptor Rey V2 1/10. My first rc that got me into the hobby.

[Arrmaximus]

Hi all,
Here is my pride and joy, the ultimate Baja Raptor Rey V2 1/10 3S;
I worked on this RC for more than 20 hours and more or less $400 of parts were installed!
I didn't remove the body and cage for the picture since it's a chore to do it. I'll update the pictures next time I wrench on it.

Update 2024-03-12:
I have installed new CNC parts, I had to tap the Losi servo arm from 0.6 to 0.5 pitch. Check the new photos below and the part list.

Thing looks sick!

 

[Dan B.]

What a cool freaking truck. That thing looks great!

 

[Eno]

Yeah, it drives and looks so scale. Unfortunately the body is fragile as hell and not up to the task. Replacements are overpriced like a lot of Losi stuff.

If someone would make unbreakable body panels for this I'd get a set one week before they turn their machines on...

In all honesty, this truck drive like sh*t, it's a rollover party and a side to side swerving madness. The gyro is messing the experience, I have to drive it with zero AVC to go straight. But I love the look and how scale looking it is. I will eventually get a new raptor body, paint it black, put Lexan tinted window and install front rear light buckets. and let it sit on a shelf as a display piece like a queen. I will never recoup half of the money I've put in it. This thing is a 1500$CAD+ build that will never drive like it should sadly.
Funny enough, the favorite RC that I have is a Vorteks BLX 3S with a widened stance of a Typhon BLX. never broke, wheelies for days, a basher, never rolls over...It's a beast.
