- Dual Functional Spare Tyres — The SBR 2.0 comes equipped with genuine working dual spare tyres mounted on the body. This isn't just for show – blow a tyre during a serious desert run and you can actually fit a spare and get right back to the action without hauling the truck off the course.
- Updated Spektrum S905 HV Capable Steering Servo — This large-scale waterproof servo delivers massive torque to keep the truck pointed exactly where you want it, even under extreme steering loads during aggressive cornering at speed.
- New Front Bumper with Brenthel Branding — The redesigned front end features a realistic lower valance and authentic Brenthel logo, contributing to the authentic scale appearance whilst providing genuine protection for sensitive components.
- Stiffer Front Anti-Roll Bar — The new front sway bar provides increased resistance to body roll during cornering, translating to more predictable handling and better weight distribution for serious competitive driving.
Technical Performance
The Super Baja Rey 2.0 is engineered from the ground up for performance, reliability, and genuine off-road capability. The chassis foundation consists of a 4mm anodised 6061-T6 aluminium plate coupled with a matching 4mm upper deck, providing a lightweight yet incredibly rigid platform that can handle whatever terrain you throw at it. Whether you're hitting massive whoops, getting air off natural jumps, or running wide open across hardpack desert, this aluminium foundation simply keeps asking for more punishment. The integrated roll cage made from super-tough composite material adds another layer of durability while enhancing the visual appeal of the truck. The brushless Spektrum Firma motor spinning at 750KV delivers genuine 50+ mph performance on 8S LiPo batteries (sold separately), with the accompanying Spektrum Firma Smart 160 Amp ESC capable of handling both 6S and 8S configurations. For battery compatibility, the truck is rated for 6S (22.2V) or 8S (29.6V) LiPo configurations with 5000mAh capacity and minimum 50C discharge rating. The IC5 connector system ensures secure power delivery and easy battery swapping. The final drive ratio sits at 8.22:1 with an internal gear ratio of 4.88:1 and 1.5M gear pitch specifications, providing a well-balanced combination of acceleration and top speed. The four-wheel drive system utilises sealed bevel gear differentials front and rear with a centre differential for tunable power distribution. Front track measures 16.3 inches (414mm) while rear track is 16.1 inches (408.9mm), with an overall wheelbase of 20.2 inches (513mm), creating a genuinely proportional stance. Ground clearance reaches 3.5 inches (89mm), allowing the truck to clear significant obstacles and technical terrain. The entire vehicle tips the scales at just 9.8kg (21.6 lbs) without battery, making it lightweight enough to handle with ease but substantial enough to feel genuinely robust in hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Losi Super Baja Rey 2.0 suitable for RC beginners or is it better for experienced drivers? — The SBR 2.0 is rated as Skill Level 4, indicating this is a vehicle designed for experienced RC enthusiasts rather than complete beginners. The combination of 8S power delivery, advanced features like AVC traction control, and the sheer performance means it demands respect and experience. However, the DX3 radio system's three-position throttle limiting switch allows experienced drivers to restrict power, making it possible for intermediate drivers to learn on the vehicle safely. If you're new to RC, starting with a smaller, simpler model and progressing to the SBR 2.0 is recommended.
- What battery does the Losi Super Baja Rey 2.0 need and how long does it take to fully charge? — The SBR 2.0 requires an 8S LiPo battery (29.6 volts nominal) with minimum 5000mAh capacity and 50C continuous discharge rating, using the IC5 connector type. Charge time depends on your charger – a compatible LiPo balance charger is essential for safe operation. The truck is also compatible with 6S batteries (22.2V nominal) if you want a more manageable power level for learning purposes, though the full 8S capability is where the SBR 2.0 truly excels.
- Can I run the Losi Super Baja Rey 2.0 in the rain or near water? — The Spektrum Firma Smart ESC is rated as waterproof, and the S905 steering servo is listed as water-resistant, meaning the truck can handle wet conditions and light water crossings. However, the truck is not fully waterproofed – care should be taken to avoid submerging the vehicle or allowing water into the radio receiver compartment. After running in wet conditions, allow time for internal components to dry properly before charging or storing the truck.
- How does the AVC Active Vehicle Control System actually work and why do I need it? — The AVC system built into the Spektrum 6100AT receiver makes hundreds of minute throttle and steering adjustments per second, functioning like traction control in a full-scale vehicle. Rather than just sliding sideways and spinning wheels, the AVC redirects throttle power and steering angle to maintain the optimal trajectory. This means more of your motor's power translates into actual acceleration and speed rather than wheel spin, particularly important on loose desert terrain. You can toggle AVC on and off with a three-position switch on the DX3 transmitter and adjust the aggressiveness level based on conditions.
- What makes the Losi Super Baja Rey 2.0 different from other large-scale RC trucks available in the UK? — The SBR 2.0 represents a fusion of two proven Losi chassis designs – taking the legendary stability of the Super Rock Rey and combining it with the proven high-speed performance of the Super Baja Rey, creating something genuinely unique. The officially licensed Brenthel body and Method/BFGoodrich components set it apart from generic competitors. Additionally, the bottom-loading battery system, longer wheelbase with extended trailing arm, redesigned front suspension arms with slider-style front axles, and the integration of King coil-over shocks all work together to create a truck that genuinely excels in multiple driving conditions rather than being optimised for just speed or just crawling.
- Does the Super Baja Rey 2.0 come fully assembled and ready to run? — Yes, this is a Ready-To-Run (RTR) model that arrives fully assembled with less than one hour of assembly time required. The Spektrum Firma Smart ESC and motor are pre-installed, the Spektrum DX3 radio system is fully programmed and ready to bind, and all mechanical components are assembled. You simply need to add batteries and fuel to get driving immediately.
- What is the top speed of the Losi Super Baja Rey 2.0 on 8S LiPo power? — On 8S LiPo battery configuration, the SBR 2.0 delivers 50+ miles per hour performance consistently. Actual top speed varies based on terrain, tyre wear, battery voltage, and driving technique, but speeds well exceeding 50mph are achievable under ideal conditions, making this one of the fastest ready-to-run 1/6-scale trucks available in the UK market.
- How long does a fully charged battery last during driving? — Runtime depends entirely on driving style, battery capacity, terrain type, and conditions. With a standard 5000mAh 8S battery running at sustained throttle on open terrain, you can expect approximately 10-15 minutes of continuous operation, though typical sessions with mixed driving and breaks last considerably longer before requiring a battery swap.
- Can I use 6S batteries instead of 8S to reduce power and improve control? — Yes, the truck is explicitly rated as compatible with both 6S (22.2V) and 8S (29.6V) LiPo batteries. Running on 6S still delivers excellent performance whilst providing more manageable power delivery, making it suitable for learning different driving techniques or running in confined spaces. Many UK customers use 6S for initial familiarisation and 8S for open desert running.
- What spare parts and upgrades are available for the Losi Super Baja Rey 2.0? — Losi provides an extensive range of genuine replacement parts covering every component from chassis plates and suspension arms to shocks, differentials, and body parts. The vehicle's popularity means aftermarket upgrades are also available from specialist manufacturers. Check the Losi website or RC Model Shop for the current range of available components.
