- How to make custom body panels for the Losi Baja Rey RC trophy truck that also work as a cage brace. I have a few ideas on how to make a dual rear spare tire next. Hit that like and subscribe for more Losi Baja Rey content
Never liked the stock look of the cage without panels. Back when I got my V1 Baja Rey I had this idea to make some custom panels to keep some loam out of the chassis and to add some sweet scale details to my truck. I have a little understanding of thermoplastics and with how good the last set of panels held up I decided to whip up a new set with some updated features and mounting solution. Everything about this truck has to work and shredd.

This popular material is used by holster makers (and other hobbyist's) to create quality, professional grade kydex-like sheaths and holsters of any size and shape.

Cyconxc was a huge inspiration to get a rc trophy truck.

I think it should have come this way from the factory. Really nice work. I made a set inspired by your videos and am planning on doing another set hopefully with better results than last time. Thanks for the great content. 🤘🏼👽🤘🏼
Thanks for the support man, I hope Losi can step there game up on the next one.
Had plans to get these panels built by a friend that runs a laser cutter and they can no longer cut thermoplastics due to hydrogen chloride. I have the plans built in CAD and hope to have a DIY CNC machine that will be able to cut these with some other Kydex parts I am designing. I do make these panels by hand for the select few of Baja Rey owners that hit me up on instagram. Thanks for watching.
Can you do that for me I really like it I love the design and I want to protect my baja rey for the big jumps
I would love some panels made up my friend.
@@surfside75 remind me soon and I think I can make an extra set for you 🤙😎
Are you still making the body panels? I’m really interested.
I do, I'm slacking on these but I just did a new style set, I will have some content coming soon about those panels, thanks for the interest🤙
I would need a set of These.
Selling the Templates?
Thanks for the interest. Got plans to get a few sets cnc and see where it goes. I cut a few sets by hand for some friends let me unpack and see if I still have a few.
Read through the comments. Wondering if the pattern was ever shared, or if these are available for purchase?
Not available yet, I plan to make these free for everyone, just haven't made the time to actually do it, slacker!
What it do! I would like to purchase a set of these panels if you are still making them.
What up Paul E, working getting these produced but it mildly fell apart, these are labor intensive to make by hand, hoping to have free option with templates very soon. I appreciate the interest and stay tuned. I smell a new Baja Rey coming.....
@@DoubleClutchProductions Any news on the templates? I have a few Baja Rey's and would love to add the panels to mine. Looking for something to help with the droop of the rear end. Going to take a stab at making some for my 2.0's also, any insight would be appreciated. Great channel, great content.
Nice work!!
Thanks for peeping it👍😎
Wow is nice looking baja truck 👍
Thanks for watching Pablo 👍
Very entertaining the video I have the same Baja truck I have plans to do the same thing you are doing I like your ideas and thank you for sharing your videos and idea..more video 👍👍 Thanks
Very well done dude!! 👌
👊😎👍
Your so awesome bro!. Love yr. Baja Rey😍
Appreciate you watching this 🤙
Damn that was cool to watch Operator
Thanks for watching.
Where did you buy that sheet of plastic carbon fiber?
Amazon, .60 HOLSTEX/kydex
Any update on getting these panels made for purchase? Or maybe a file for download?
Yes and sorry for the wait. Moving to a new spot and hope to be unpacked soon. I remember you asking and when I do get these panels finished I will send you a free set. Hit me up on Instagram. Thanks for your interest
Dammmm since you started this project. I'm in love whit me baka Rey and I'm like crazy looking for those panels every where and o not have luck find it. Do you have it for sale . like another set?
Nice work🤟🏻 I would love to test this on my Baja Rey
I am revisiting this, maybe we can get you a set
@@DoubleClutchProductions That would be great if you can get me a set! I will test it and give it a review! Recommend you to my friends with baja reys as well!
What is the material you are using to make the carbon side panels. And where can get them?
All info In description, .60 holstex/kydex
@@DoubleClutchProductions thank you.
Very nice! Subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
Came out real nice!
Thanks @Flash Hobbies
any word on these yet? would love to get a set
Working on it. Thanks for your interest
@@DoubleClutchProductions cool, and no problem
These are awesome, how and when could I be able to get some of these
Thanks for stopping by man, in the process of moving and its been a pain but, I will have these available for purchase very soon and will be sending out sets to guys like you that can test em out. Thanks for the interest and we appreciate the support.
Great video and impressive finished product. Is this something you’re planning on making available to the public to test out? If so please let me know timing and costs!!!
Will do and thanks for the interest.
Where did you purchase the plastics carbon sheet from?
I used to get holstex/kydex from index fasteners. You can find holstex or kydex on Amazon. 👊
@@DoubleClutchProductions you won’t happen to have the templates still do you? If you do how much 😊
@mcgeemcgee3539 I do but I think a guy is making these, dirt mouth or dust mouth? These are so easy to make and a fun project. Thanks for the interest.
@@DoubleClutchProductions 👍 appreciate you man!
@mcgeemcgee3539 Yah buddy, no worries bro, sorry I couldn't help ya out, 👊😎
I would of left the back side pieces off but that looks cool
👊👍😎
I know it's been two years since you posted this... but are you able to make and sell these? If you can't, that's okay
Im sorry, i was impatient and rude last time
Lol all good my dude. As of now it's on the back burner but I am about 3/4 done digitizing these, to say it won't happen would be a lie, but to give a ETA? I don't have a ETA yet, thanks for the interest. 👍😎
Looks awesome! Would also like a set if at all possible?
Right on. Thanks for the interest
Would it be possible to order these panels from you?
Yes, I am in the process of waiting for samples of materiel, my plan is to CNC router these out of .60 or .80 printed kydex with exact dimensions, already got the models made in Fusion 360, aiming for the entire set to be $40.00, I will be looking for testers on the first batch and you are on that list, subscribe and stay tuned. #Soon
@@DoubleClutchProductions that's gret, can't wait till you have some of these to buy. I'll be on the lookout. What other upgrades is a must for this Baja Rey that you recommend?
These trucks perform great stock. These are my must haves, SSD 3rd member, Adjustable lower link mount, rear locker and a little more weight biased to the rear. Shock oil will do the rest 🤙
Did you save the pattern?
Always save your patterns, yah wasup
What tirew u using?
Losi Tenacity DB or TT pro tires 👍
Anyway I can get a template of theses ?
I feel like a slump for not getting on this. I am working to make these available to all for free. 👍🙏
@@DoubleClutchProductions that’d be great bro I love your builds very inspiring to my baja rey I got building
Thanks for following along 👍😎
when finished, share with the subscribers the measures so that we can also do
Building these now in Auto Cad so I can hit up an old friend and get a few sets laser cut, maybe we can send you out the first set to test?
@@DoubleClutchProductions I will do on a 3D printer.
The autocad file would be of great value to me
Hello mate count me in aswell would love a set please how much
@@DoubleClutchProductions I would be glad to also purchase a set if u made them
I got the baja rey. Id definitely test if you wanted
Can get real carbon fiber panels off Amazon, would work really good for stiffening the chassis.
No need man these work great as a stiffener and are cheap. Carbon fiber is difficult to work with and expensive compared to kydex. Thanks for watching 🤟
Ar you selling those parts?.
Yes eventually. Moved to a new place and still trying to get set up
Do you have these carbon fiber panels for sale? Let me know and if so; I'll message you through IG DM to place an order. I'd love to get a set of these!
Man I am slacking on making these happen. Working on it and thanks for the interest 🤙
@@DoubleClutchProductions Once they are ready; let me know. I'll be the first to sign up!
@@IROC-RC 🤘
Hey, if you are interested in some sort of deal I can do these out of thin metal on a laser cutter. I was planning to design my own but this would save me a hell of a lot of design time and could be offered for sale
Once I get these plans available for free you can make them out of any material 👍😎
@@DoubleClutchProductions great for me but I’d be happy to work out a commercial deal as well for those without a cutter
Not interested in profiting off my designs. I will make these available to all for free.
@@DoubleClutchProductions well looking forward to the release!
can you post dimensions for these
👍
why its not real carbon ?
Not needed, and it's not safe to work with without proper gear
@@DoubleClutchProductions safety first
@E.D.MyBenz always, this materiel is cheap, easy to work with and safer than real Carbon, thanks for watching 👍
Sell it
No sorry I don't. Thanks for the interest
