Overview
The Losi Composite Rear Drive Shaft Slider is an essential replacement component designed specifically for the 1/6 scale Super Baja Rey 2.0, one of the most advanced ready-to-run desert trucks available for RC enthusiasts in the UK. This precision-engineered spare part is manufactured by Losi, a trusted name in high-performance RC vehicles, and addresses the drivetrain system that powers this impressive 4WD brushless machine across challenging terrain. Whether you're a seasoned RC car enthusiast or someone looking to maintain their brushless RC truck in peak condition, having quality replacement parts on hand ensures your model continues to perform at its best.
The Super Baja Rey 2.0 represents the pinnacle of 1/6 scale desert truck design, combining official licensing, innovative engineering and genuine performance capabilities. This particular component—the composite rear drive shaft slider—plays a vital role in the truck's shaft-driven 4WD drivetrain system. The slider mechanism allows the rear suspension to articulate through its full range of motion whilst maintaining constant drive to the wheels, a critical feature when tackling whoops, jumps and rough terrain at speeds exceeding 50 mph. If your SBR 2.0 has experienced impact damage or normal wear from aggressive off-road driving, this replacement slider restores full functionality to your rear drivetrain.
Composite construction offers an excellent balance of strength and weight savings, making it ideal for the demanding environment of desert truck racing and bashing. RC Model Shop stocks this genuine Losi replacement part to help you keep your trophy truck fully operational and ready for the next trail adventure.
Key Features
- Genuine Losi Component — This is an authentic replacement part manufactured by Losi, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your Super Baja Rey 2.0 desert truck without any modifications or workarounds needed.
- Composite Material Construction — The slider is engineered from durable composite material that provides excellent impact resistance whilst remaining lightweight, contributing to the overall performance characteristics of your 4WD drivetrain system.
- Rear Drive Shaft Specific — This component is purpose-designed for the rear axle assembly of the SBR 2.0, where it allows the suspension to travel through its full range whilst maintaining constant drive engagement.
- Essential for Shaft-Driven 4WD — The Super Baja Rey 2.0 utilises a shaft-driven full-time four-wheel drive system with adjustable differentials, and the rear drive shaft slider is critical to maintaining proper suspension articulation and traction control performance.
- Replacement Wear Item — After extensive off-road use, aggressive bashing or impact damage, this slider can be worn or damaged and requires replacement to restore optimal handling and drivetrain responsiveness.
Technical Performance
The Losi Composite Rear Drive Shaft Slider is engineered as part of the Super Baja Rey 2.0's sophisticated long-travel rear suspension system. This truck features a longer wheelbase than the original SBR, achieved through extended rear trailing arms that increase stability during high-speed runs over rough terrain. The rear suspension incorporates a 4-link setup specifically designed to soak up massive whoops and bumps whilst maintaining the realistic handling characteristics of a full-scale desert racing truck. The slider mechanism allows the rear drive shaft to move vertically with the suspension whilst maintaining constant rotational drive to the rear wheels through sealed adjustable differentials. The SBR 2.0 is powered by a Spektrum Firma 8S-capable brushless motor producing 750kV and exceptional torque, capable of pushing the truck to over 50 mph on 8S LiPo batteries. The Spektrum Firma Smart 160 Amp waterproof ESC manages power delivery intelligently, whilst the Spektrum 6100AT AVC receiver provides active vehicle control, making hundreds of throttle and steering adjustments per second to optimise traction and acceleration. The rear drivetrain is specified with a final drive ratio of 8.22:1 and an internal gear ratio of 4.88:1, designed to deliver maximum torque for acceleration and climbing whilst managing top speed appropriately for a 1/6 scale machine. This composite slider part is essential for maintaining the engineering integrity of this suspension and drivetrain assembly, allowing the truck to maintain maximum ground contact and traction through uneven terrain. The 4mm anodosed aluminium chassis and composite roll cage provide a rigid foundation for all drivetrain components, and the slider must be in perfect condition to ensure the suspension geometry remains correct and the truck handles predictably during jumps, landings and high-speed cornering.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Losi models is this rear drive shaft slider compatible with? — This composite rear drive shaft slider is designed exclusively for the Losi 1/6 Super Baja Rey SBR 2.0 4WD Brushless Desert Truck, available in both the Blue (LOS05021T2) and Yellow (LOS05021T1) versions. It will not fit earlier SBR models or other Losi 1/6 scale trucks.
- Why would I need to replace the rear drive shaft slider? — The slider can become worn, cracked or damaged through normal off-road use, particularly if the truck has experienced hard impacts, jumps or crashes. Damage to this component will affect suspension articulation, cause handling problems and potentially damage the rear drive shaft itself.
- Is this a difficult part to install? — Installation requires disassembly of the rear suspension and drivetrain, which involves removing the rear body panels, suspension arms and drive shaft assembly. If you are experienced with RC truck maintenance and have basic tools, this is within reach, though it is not a quick field repair. Many owners prefer to have this installed by an experienced RC technician.
- What is the difference between this composite slider and any metal alternative? — Losi engineers specified composite material for this slider to provide impact absorption, reduce overall weight and maintain the suspension geometry of the SBR 2.0 design. The composite construction is part of the truck's original engineering and delivers the handling characteristics the SBR 2.0 is renowned for.
- Is this sold as a complete assembly or just the slider component? — This product is the slider component only, not a complete rear drive shaft assembly. It is sold individually to allow you to replace just the damaged component rather than purchasing an entire assembly.
