Default Thloftus’ Rock Rey Basher

I was one of the lucky few to get a Rock Rey kit after they were randomly discontinued. I’ve been wanting an IFS / solid rear axle kit for a while and the options are dwindling, maybe to zero now that the Yeti is only offered as a RTR also? I thought about converting my Bomber to IFS, but I’m happy with the current setup, getting a second Bomber seemed spendy, and it’s fun to try something new. I’ve read a lot of good things about durability / performance for the Rock Rey; my only regret is that I didn’t hit go a few days earlier when the kits were cheaper! Should have known it was too good a deal to last.

I’m planning to set it up for bashing and hoping to get the kids to build it with me. We had fun building the SCX10 II kit together, just had to be patient with how much progress we made at any given time. I don’t have electronics yet, so we’re not in a huge hurry. I’m looking for speeds beyond their skill level, though, so it will likely be my rig for a while; trying to avoid ankle-bashed trips to the ER or full up RC carnage, Lol!

Like most kits, it came in a box. Less fancy than Axial boxes, which hopefully means a better ratio for box cost versus kit cost. But then (here comes the guilty confession), I do mount Axial boxes like trophies in my workshop, Lol! Axial is definitely at the top for box fanciness, more so than even the RC4WD box I’ve also mounted like a trophy.




The inside walls of the box are also less fancy. Plain cardboard, sooo deflating!
