The TEN 4WD platform is recognized all over the world as the personification of strength and durability. The Losi® Lasernut U4 1/10-scale 4WD Rock Racer (RR) RTR with Spektrum™ Smart builds on the TEN design and adds items rock racers demand such as aluminum shocks, sway bars and adjustable turnbuckles.

The Lasernut is currently the only complete Unlimited U4 FIS (Full Independent Suspension) racer on the market featuring all the technological advances drivers demand including the Spektrum Firma Smart 130A Brushless ESC and Spektrum Firma 4-Pole 1900kv 550 motor providing greater efficiency improving run times with increased power. Of course, the ESC is waterproof, completely programmable and comes pre-wired with a high-current IC5™ connector. Drivers stay in control with a DX3™ transmitter, a Spektrum AVC® receiver with steering priority, and an officially-licensed Lasernut race-inspired scale U4RC body/roll cage with two different graphics and color variations. Working together with BFGoodrich Tires, the Lasernut U4 has scaled down KM3 tires that have an aggressive tread pattern capable of handling any terrain. The Losi Lasernut Rock Racer is the ultimate U4 racer with scale looks, insane speeds and performance, and Spektrum Smart Technology.

    Thanks for the video! Your review is right on point. Please make an update video in 20 packs. I would be surprised if there weren't diff issues. Maybe the early production models had the wrong clearances or inferior plastic cases. I blew the rear diff and and had excessive wear on the center rear and right rear outdrives. My solution was to replace the complete front and rear diff assemblies with the TEN SCTE 3.0 diff. After 20 plus packs of hard driving its doing well. Shout out to Losi support, they took care of everything very quickly. Lucky for me, when I snapped my axle, exactly like yours, they were in stock. I keep a spare handy 😃 . Thanks again!!!

    I've gone through 4 front axles already 🙄 going to swap to the tekno shafts next, other than that nothing too major with issues. This is one of those cars that you should not just trust losi that everything is tip top, found out some stuff was loose and I just lost a screw to the coupler to the front diff/center drive. The tires are so amazing but the rims warp so easily it's stupid. They really should have put an aluminum insert there like you said as well as a protectant over the led bar. Overall I'm still stoked on it, still working to make it better and better, but also I've spent probably $300 on spare/upgrade parts so keep that in mind. Great review btw! 👏

    @@JrsGasolineAlley sorry, somehow just saw this but they're the m6 axles but honestly I wouldn't bother with them. The outdrives are "lightened" and snap super easily, my first set lasted like 3 runs. I would go vitavon and drop the bread if you actually want the problem fixed, otherwise you're gonna have to either buy stock axles or break the diff down everytime you snap the outdrive on the teknos.

    After 25 days of basically nothing but gravel burnouts sliding around on hard surfaces extreme fast running on grass. My second Losi Now has loud grinding noise coming from unit with severe loss of power. I'm sure differential is gone. Not sure which one, I am now buying my third Laser Nut. First one still runs but after fixing broken shock mount it has leaking front differential, with bent driveshaft. also developed a high pitch wine from front end believe it is dry differential. I'm not gonna buy any more three is enough. 😏.

    More power (4s), more versitle, handles better. Baja Rey is more scale looking, solid axle trucks are fun, only 3s. Personally I also have a Super Baja Rey 2.0 and it is a treat at times, but desert trucks have limited useage IMO.

    Pity. I absolutely love the scale looks and details of the Losi vehicles. But it's a real shame that they let such small under engineering issues ruin an otherwise great truck. I'm not a basher and my style is more in line with what this truck was intended and designed to do. And yet, inevitably shit happens and we hit things. And axles snapping, diffs stripping, etc... Just unacceptable to me. So, as much as I hate to say it, I gotta admit that even though they really don't suit my likes, perhaps an Arrma might prove more reliable for the average user that's looking for just an all around good, and durable play vehicle... Come on Losi! Fix these little $2 items and give us a great looking AND reliable truck...
