Ryft Vitavon trans and Mamba tires

[@gonncalomariamonteiro4176]

The evolution of the CAM/CAD software and CNC machines has brought us to the point where we can actually have watchmaker precision parts, upgrades, whatever you wanna call it, to support our hobby. Companies like Vitavon, HR, Vanquish, Arrowshark, to name a few, are effectively changing the market. 20 years ago this kind of precision products was a distant possibility. Now we just have to go online and click! It's a great time to be in RC!

[@ExocagedRC]

Yeah man for sure. The vehicles are better and aftermarket it better in most every way.

[@danielldecamp7516]

Getting my 5 and 8 year old boys into RC now with their 1st Arrma 1/8th Typhon for each and I got the Arrma Fireteam 6s. But this Ryft will be my next build I think. Love it.

[@JustCallMePCra]

Those tires make the vehicle unstoppable

[@rc-daily]

Glad to see vitavon left the 2 speed provisions in his case.

[@johnboy6955]

My ryft will be here tomorrow and I can't wait. So stoked

[@ExocagedRC]

heck yeah!

[@jdsrcs8061]

Awe little guys want a piggy back ride from his papa!!!! Vitivon is making some great stuff!!!🤘🤘🤘

[@ExocagedRC]

😃😀

[@FunAdventuresImp]

With those mods your rift is so crazy ,so capable, those new tires were so good worth the money I think

[@mehimrc1314]

Jesus H Christ! That thing moves mountains, the power and traction is beyond comprehension.

[@rcwildman9255]

What’s cool these where made for fourwheelers / sxs’s a long while it’s cool to see proline decided to partner up and make them for rc’s!

[@kravenkrawlhobby5438]

Fully equipped Joe, fricken awesome

[@theirishaxe9405]

She's looking pretty badass now. Looks like the weight is not hurting it at all👍✌️🤙 metal rod end next

[@thecollector448]

I enjoy watching your vids man... Good stuff and learn a lot as I am a rookie to the Hobby... Cheers

[@ExocagedRC]

I appreciate that!

[@michaelmaxwell7638]

Awesome machine. Great video. I'm using a Robertson Racing 12t mod 1 on my Ryft. I used the Dynamite #4955 turner card for esc. you could use the HW 1080 program card plugged into the fan port on esc to tune it. Will work on your Lazernut also. read manual for stock esc settings. Have fun tuning! cheers

[@dillonsurdaddy]

Love all of your Ryft videos! It needs some TLC to be able to bash it at all and you've definitely given it that!

[@codyandcidney8742]

Backflips were peeeerfect my dude!

[@ExocagedRC]

Thanks!

[@natetron7926]

Vitivon should have their own RC Crawler line and basher line of their own RC vehicles 100% aluminum

[@loum7008]

Awesome trans!!! Now that you have a few almost indestructible rc's, time for a road trip!!! In a three-day weekend somewhere go shoot 4 or 5 episodes in the wild. Please!!! Awesome content as usual 👏👌🙌

[@ExocagedRC]

I have a “scale-ish” video up for Members now. They like it. Totally different style of driving and recording for me.

[@burk3552]

Had the mambas on my quad,they are almost too good hahah she loved eatin axles on the roots,can't wait to get a set for my ryft

[@bobsennick7403]

I love the way that rig falls out from beneath the cage. Compare that access to a Capra!

[@jameslyons1978]

Now that's a Ryft! So sweet

[@dajaduke1936]

Now it's a really cool rc, not much Axial left. I would buy one if it came like that.

[@ExocagedRC]

It would be a $1,000+ purchase price to get it like this

[@jjshobbypower9091]

I can't wait to get those Vitavon parts then I can unleash the beast.. probably will take another 2 months before reaching to UK.

[@SURCs]

I love that little scx10. Soooo cool.

[@jdpaslRC]

Vitavon is real hard as tank!

[@ggwbrc]

Great gearbox dude PNP and full metal 👍 Nice bouncer😍

[@divifo]

Great job and very good run 👏😊👍

[@buddybirddog8177]

I was excited to see the Ryft come out and was ready too buy one but hearing about some of the issues right out of the box and having to make all those add-ons $$$ just so the Ryft will perform as advertised makes it a no go.

[@Houleigan]

Since the snow here has melted I would have to guess that there won't be a snow run! LOL! Bad enough we have to wait for MUD!!!!! They work good in the sand though!

[@Cannabis_Connoisseur]

To me road ends beaking is worth having all that awesome vitavon. Rod ends are cheap and easy to find. I'd probably try changing to traxxas rod ends. Axial plastic has always felt cheap to me.

[@Fisherman-gc1fw]

Nice tool

[@addicted2rcs49]

Excellent RC Car-Crawler mate, I want one!! I'm enjoying ya videos pal. :o)

[@rezzrollinrc]

✊🏽✊🏽 Mr Exo!! Aww tha mini ryft feels left out 😂🤣

[@ExocagedRC]

😂😂

[@joegallo1771]

Well I've been the tie rod and front shock on my ryft and can't find where I can get new ones!

[@ExocagedRC]

I bought spares of those when I saw them on horizon a few weeks ago. I haven’t bent a shock shaft yet but I’ve seen pics of them bent.

[@joegallo1771]

@@ExocagedRC smart! I cant find any parts anywhere for this thing 😅

[@DomsRCs]

Daam those tyres are killa! I bet they'll really dig into the sand on dunes! When can we get a beach run?

[@ExocagedRC]

It’s funny I’m surrounded by beaches but rarely ever go. Maybe once a year. LoL.

[@jimk962]

Great vid man

[@BrianExline99]

I am putting the same esc and motor in mine. For hill climbing/rock climbing (not crawling at all) do you recommend a 17t pinion?

[@ExocagedRC]

the 17t runs fine so yeah same combo works awesome

[@Evans-Adventuress]

are we gonna see any upgrades for the scx24

[@ExocagedRC]

Yeah I got a few things in the other day. I’m almost caught up enough to get back on SV2, a 4ws Capra and the 24. Table space and time is valuable so I gotta work to get that time.

[@bossmannrctv2683]

I wana ryft but I need dem vitavon axles

[@jklivin2007]

...where did you get the vitavon case from, eBay...China??? 🤔

[@ExocagedRC]

yep Vitavon is in china, dude works way too many hours designing these things. I say designing because he modifies the design and doesn't just copy stuff. If all he did was copy stuff I most likely wouldn't have so much of it

[@jklivin2007]

@@ExocagedRC ...thanks for the quick reply! reason I ask is there’s several Vitavon items I’d like to get, but just a lil weary about ordering from China now.....especially with everything going on in the world. I assume if I were to purchase any items it’ll take for eeeeeeever to get to the U.S.???

[@ashleyconnelley556]

Man how you find all this vitavon stuff in stock at I can’t seem to ever find anything in stock anywhere lol

[@ExocagedRC]

I get them when I see them. The trans case is in stock now on eBay or has it sold out already?

[@cypress1j1]

How about the links for your sway bar I'm assuming you rather the sway bar over dual shocks for the torque twist issues ??

[@ExocagedRC]

I posted the info on the Swaybar a while back. It’s a front Swaybar for the bomber with custom links. There are a few different swaybar made for this now that you can simply buy.

[@Cougar2ei4]

Will the Vitavon Rear lower arms fit on the Axial Bomber?

[@ExocagedRC]

I think they are a bit longer than stock Bomber links

[@bushcrafter6416]

Hahaha That thing looks like fun!!!!

[@blindj]

Why is it people don't use paddle tires for mud racing? Is it because they don't clean out and the treads Don't have that triangle shape to push the mud away from the tire?

[@ExocagedRC]

Rules usually prohibit paddles in most classes.

[@blindj]

@@ExocagedRC ah ok. Never attended a mud racing event or honestly looked into it very much. If those tires are allowed they look like they going to change who the top dog is though. The tread pattern is just so aggressive.

[@RyanRKJ]

Why did you change the transmission case?

[@ExocagedRC]

Because I like shiny things, but really it’s for rigidity in the driveline not that the stock case is bad, but I like Vitavon stuff.

[@legendary_perfomance]

Can I buy the stock ESC out of this I think 4S would help the wendigo I have out

[@theSvrh]

Does this transmission address any issues the rfyt was having stock?

[@PhilBender612]

got enough aluminum on it? Lol. I know your answer would be no. Is that aluminum gearbox louder than stock? Aluminum ones usually are.

[@ExocagedRC]

Maybe a little bit but not much at all. Kinda surprised.

[@rc-daily]

Those little arms are for a micro servo.

[@teamsargentrc6399]

Good question.

[@rc-daily]

@@teamsargentrc6399 axial is supposed to release a micro servo and 2 speed kit for these guys. When it will actually happen is another question but I want a crawler gear bad.

If you a dumb esc is the Fuse 130 amp without smart tech. Only difference is smart esc is 4amps vs dumb esc is 3amps for BEC.Can't believe the dumb esc is $10 more on Horizon. I have 2 of them lol Cheers

LOL Dumb esc, I have not heard that before, LOL Really, I'll use that term later on!

👍👌

[@chrispalusak7725]

Cool.

[@Ssstilte]

when gonna change the driveshafts to metal

[@ExocagedRC]

Haven’t had a need to do that yet. But if I see a good set available I’ll probably get them. I run stock plastic shafts on a bunch of my vehicles without issue.

I wish that trans case was $100.

[@viperracing2889]

This video shows why they use 1,200 bhp engines in Formula Offroad cars.

[@GrimJerr]

Another $150, Your the only person i know of who has dumped more money into the RYFT than me, your closing in on $1500 by my calculations.

[@GrimJerr]

Destroyed my RC budget, my DIVA is sitting in the corner until I can find, 1. and afford to buy 2., A RAW 500 Servo. My RYFT eneded up eating the budget for at least 1 build I was planning. So I won't be building a 3rd SCX24, and I have Scratched my SCX10 build. I decided to still do my Rally car Build, but it won't be til June.

[@ExocagedRC]

Yeah pretty much all of my builds are well over $1k

[@GrimJerr]

@@ExocagedRC Yeah I have been following your builds for awhile, the shame here is this RIG requires the extra attention. I was all set to install my Vitavon Axles when my Servo decided it only wants to go right. (waiting til I can find a RAW 500.

[@thomasthetankengine7153]

@@GrimJerr I was showing my Lady the tyres and she said that they look like tractor Tyres 🚜 and the ryft I'm not sure how to feel about a product that didn't last long and can't find enough spares to keep it running and if I could get the vitaonvon part's I would now but if I was aware of this when I bought it I think I would have waited for the next version ✌️

[@GrimJerr]

@@thomasthetankengine7153 In my zeal for a Rock Bouncer and ignorance of the relationships between Horizon, Spektrum, and Axial, my expectations exceeded my experience with previous products. At this point it probably the nicest thing I can say about all that. what I wish now was that they had Offered a Kit version with the gray cage, then i could have built the Rock Bouncer that's in my head, rather than what is the RTR. I still would be having the Axle issues, but not Spektrum issues.
