Hit the Trail with Losi's RZR Rey Brushless 1/10 UTV

By: Tim Gluth

Losi's "2/16" social media tease has been revealed, and it looks like a fun machine. Blending scale detail with full-throttle performance, the RZR Rey Brushless 1/10 RTR appears ready to tear up the backyard, the dunes, and the trail.

Officially licensed by Polaris, the RZR Rey looks like a true side-by-side UTV, albeit in 1/10-scale. Front to back this new model screams scale detail. Most of what you'd expect to find in the design of a 1:1 Polaris RZR you can find on this radio-controlled model. There are even front and rear LED lights to keep the fun rolling long after the sun sets. Two body color/graphics options are available (Blue/RZR and Orange/FOX Shocks).

The scale detail of the RZR Rey doesn't stop at the exterior. A detailed interior, featuring a blend of polycarbonate and injection molded plastic helps drive home the realistic look of this R/C UTV. In addition to those details, you'll also find scale brake discs and calipers mounted on the wheel hexes for even more scale sweetness.

There also appear to be plenty of durability-and-performance-focused elements built into the RZR Rey. An aluminum chassis plate should help keep this vehicle rolling strong, even when the trail turns treacherous. The rear independent suspension uses a trailing arm setup that's not only great for 1/10-scale fun but also looks very similar to its 1:1 counterpart.

With a 3800kv Spektrum Firma brushless motor, this machine shouldn't lack power or speed. You'll also find a 6-channel Spektrum Smart AVC inside, allowing for easier control for inexperienced drivers. Other notable electronics highlights include a Spektrum DX3 3-channel DSMR transmitter, a Spektrum S614S Steel Gear Servo, and a Spektrum Firma 130A Brushless Smart ESC.
