The Losi Baja Rey 2.0 Ford Raptor Method 1/10 4WD Brushless Ready to Run replicates the Ford Raptor in a RC desert truck built for off-road adventures. Equipped with a Spektrum Smart 130A ESC, 3150kV brushless motor, and licensed Method Race Wheels with BFGoodrich KR3 tires, it delivers speeds over 50 mph with 3S LiPo power. Designed for brushless RC truck enthusiasts, it offers scale realism and robust performance on sand, dirt, or gravel.
Performance
The Baja Rey 2.0 reaches speeds exceeding 50 mph, powered by a Spektrum Firma 3150kV brushless motor and Smart 130A ESC. Its 4WD system with three sealed silicone-filled differentials ensures reliable traction across varied terrains. The long-travel suspension and 12mm aluminum oil-filled shocks absorb impacts effectively, providing smooth handling during jumps. The Spektrum AVC system enhances stability for precise control, though high-speed steering may require slight tuning for optimal response. Licensed BFGoodrich KR3 tires offer strong grip, but traction may be reduced on wet surfaces without tire upgrades.
Design and Features
The officially licensed Ford Raptor body features a detailed blue finish with scale decals and Method Race Wheels, delivering authentic styling. The 4mm 6061-T6 aluminum chassis and heavy-duty axles provide durability for rugged use, while adjustable turnbuckles and sway bars allow suspension customization. The polycarbonate body may scratch during intense bashing, and the lack of included LED lights limits nighttime visibility, though aftermarket kits are compatible. Waterproof electronics support operation in light wet conditions, per the manual’s standards.
Ease of Use and Maintenance
The Spektrum DX2E Active 2.4GHz transmitter with AVC offers responsive controls, suitable for beginners and advanced drivers. The truck requires a 2S or 3S LiPo battery and charger, with runtimes of 15–30 minutes and charging times of 60–90 minutes. The bottom-loading battery tray simplifies swaps, and the modular design eases maintenance, though small screws may strip with frequent handling. Some users note minor servo lag under heavy loads, but upgrades can improve precision.
Special Notes: This is a Ready to Run model, fully assembled with a Ford Raptor body, Spektrum electronics, and four AA transmitter batteries included. Requires a 2S or 3S LiPo battery and charger (not included). Suitable for beginners with AVC, while advanced users can adjust suspension or disable AVC for racing.
