Tires are indeed way too small.

Would’ve loved to see how you have all those wires set up under the body. So basically you had to wire all the lights to one JST plug or buy like his JST bundle adapter that has like 4 into 1 plug. How did you do yours?

Incredible setup. You really have a creative mind and talent for R&D on the Ryft.

Would you be so kind as to tell me what specific colour the Toyota 40 is? I am planning to paint one and I don't see it on the Tamiya colour chart, or if it is from another brand. Thank you.

Do you have the 3d files available still? Shapeways is gone and looking for interior panel and dash

Leave the body frosty clear, looks cool seeing the parts through the body

Your Ryft is awesome. Love the dashboard and tilt indicator. Thanks so much for sharing this. 🫶

So glad you two are still on , my last build was a tf2 in 2014 and im just getting back into the hobby !!

It's nice to see you still have your Ryft. You did a good job on the wiring and overall mods including the Dimond plate. 👍🏆

Great job on this video. It really helped quite a bit seeing the car broke down. I have been collecting parts to put together a Ryft so this really does help. I agree the gearbox is beefy. 👍👍

What’s the difference between these two transmission , quality ??

Is this transmission strong enough for pull heavy loads ??

I bought one at a flea market with the box ... The box was busted up so I did my best to repair it ... The car is mint ... Instructions are perfect and battery compartment is beautiful ... If you answer me back I'll tell you what I paid

I had this as a kid, but painted it up in silver&black and never got to do much with it because the charger I got worked off a car battery instead of wall power. I managed to get the battery charged up I think twice. I moved from country to country a few times and ultimately had to leave it somewhere, it was too big to bring along for nothing. I didn't get enough run time on it to even dial it in, which sucks now thinking about it. Just gave my son a FTX Tracer as a first sorta "real RC" in the sense of it not being a total toy, and it got me thinking of the car I got from my dad back in the day which was this. Spent the afternoon bashing around with the Tracer, unfortunately in bad weather, and plan on doing more driving with my son, and some upgrades as he gets a bit more confident with the Tracer, also ordered a second one so we can both have a car to drive at the same time, and if his breaks I can pick parts off mine while we wait for replacements.

Dig my #sca1e

Chris, I would love to work for you in any way. You guys are my favorite people, and builders love to see you build rc.

i still have mine that was a gift . Can't remember the year i got it but it must have been the early 70's. Awesome toy .

Quality thought process!

Got 2 rigs that im planning to do this swap. 11% od will come in handy. 👍

Nice, im planning on getting a couple of these. Had one question, is one available with counter rotating shafts? (Scx10.2) Seen older videos and it didnt specify if the shafts move same direction or opposite of achother.

👍 Love the end result. You do make it look nice and simple!

Nice work!

Hey guys, any chance you'd still have one of these kits floating around?

awsome rig and nice job great video👌✌👍 subded👍💪

amazing

I Did An SSD Conversion on Mine 😊😮🎉Months Ago👍💯🙏😇👉👀 Great Job 👍💯 I Also Put The Castle Cobra 8 Motor and ESC Combo On The SSD All Aluminum Transmission With 14.33:1 Gear Ratio😮

Love my lrt2 conv

Great upgrade! I need this CJ plus your mods! I had a real CJ5, and I was blown away when Axial came out with their CJ!

Looks fantastic, like it a lot. Would it also be possible on the early Bronco ? At least it has the same chassis and crappy tranny.

Heck of an upgrade for that platform in many respects, awesome work!

Hey guys, Any idea if this would allow the interior of the LC80 hardbody to fit on the SCX10 i ?

Yeah, my go to place good to see you there this year 2024 makes my seventh year of going appreciate the video. It’s always a awesome time there and yes, it grows even bigger each year.

👍👍 that is looking sweet dude I’m here watching 9:11 PM Saturday, October 26. Nice interior work.

Can I use NiMh batteries in this?

What a fantastic looking build… an amazing interior! It was music to my ears to hear you say checker plate, I haven’t heard that since I left Canada in 1984! GCM was one of the 1st inspirational channels to get me back into tiny trucks!

Thanks for this video. You gave me lots of ideas for my Ryft.

Looks awesome, I wanna drive it 💯👍

Awesome job! That finished the interior bay off great!

this build is unbelievable. ill be joinging you group to see where this goes.. was wondering where did you get your driver. thanks so much.

I can only say wow. You are so in that stuff like me, totally addicted. My project is a RC4WD Miller RR rebuild. AR60 axles , wraith parts, Element stealth X tranny with overdrive and longer steel drive shafts. A lot of thinking an trying before all fits as desired. The goal is like yours , building a Rock/Trail crawler.

You should have bought a RCEVERYDAY Shop Truck chassis and ditch thr 4tec chassis

You guy most be Tamiya guys I like all company from Tamiya to Kyosho to traxxas and full custom

I know Chad. Lololol 😂

Been missing you guys! Dana needs to have my baby, lmao Thanks for rocking the hat brother. Sure ill be seeing yall soon (wink wink)

Yeah, true North. I’ve got some of his stuff. Great quality for sure.

I like it without the cage like you said, sort of like army jeep, hey, I recognize that sticker on the back Yep😁👍👍

Hey laser designs got the quick release clips for that. I just put on my FCX 10 Chevy blazer they work great, and my buddy Jim Wolf just put the set on his jeep. They are awesome dude check out laser designs.

Yeah, my buddy Jim Wolf got that jeep. He loves it.
