Ryft Trans2 speed Fix

[@Eric78360]

I would just like to say thanks because; without this video I don't think my ryft would run as smooth as it is.. keep up the great work and thanks again!! 2-speed is a must if you have a ryft!!

[@ExocagedRC]

Thank you buddy. Glad I can help.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Man, this is awesome that you do these videos :) I havent bought this conversion yet, but I was researching

[@ExocagedRC]

Hey man. Yeah it takes some work, took me a few tries to get it right.

[@spingel88]

Thanks for this. Grinding down the sides of the shift fork worked wonders. I was so frustrated trying to get this stupid thing to shift into first gear. Now it works great. 🤘🏻👍🏻

[@RamDiesel93]

Thank you for putting this video together, I just got done putting my transmission together (stock plastic) and could barely move the shift fork at all by hand, watched your vid, removed the useless shaft and ground down the fork, now it moves very easily!!!!

[@ExocagedRC]

Awesome man! Glad I could help!

[@Mad4saxBrewery]

Thank you! I have been trying everything to get this to shift. Several servos and several horns. Pulled it apart several times. Nothing worked. After this mod all is working fine. Thank you so much! And yes the shift arm heats up pretty good. Don't ask how I know. 😂

I'm glad you made this video because I had the same issue with my two speed trans with the Treal case just like Vitavon did. I only took the case down where the fork traveled for more movement.

[@AustLaw]

I just bought this kit and because so many people reported issues with it staying in gear I shaved the armature to increase travel. However, I left the additional rail rod in place to take the load instead of the much thinner control rod. Unfortunately, after reducing the thickness of the armature the area that rides on the rail isn't long enough to prevent binding. By thinning the armature the chance of it binding on the rail has increased AND its strength has been reduced. The chance of the armature breaking off the rail during a shift seems inevitable. It seems to me shaving the transmission housing would be a much better solution, especially in the case of the aluminum transmission housing which has more than enough strength supporting the rail.

I just built this kit and am having the same issue. I really want the 2 speed trans to work. I have a high trail and like the option of a 2 speed transmission. I’ll try this mod tonight. I don’t agree with removing that other Rod though. It keeps that shift fork from riding on the guide it sits in. Maybe that’s not much of an issue. Nice video!

I am so happy the Losi digger is in Jenny’s I’d love to own a Axial Ryft those are some tough looking pieces of new innovative RC’s. 💪👊😀👍

[@rezzrollinrc]

Good fix mr Exo ✊🏽 Happy 4th man and to all tha Rc fam out there 👊🏽

[@hellorc7678]

Good info on the fix. Was thinking about just fixing mine into first gear and being done with it. Maybe I'll try this first. It will hold in gear but only if I'm holding the third channel toggle down in the direction I want it. Annoying!!!

[@Octaviodeiques]

Love the channel bud 🤘will you be doing the Vitavon axles on the trx6 ?

[@ExocagedRC]

if I do those I'll need another TRX6 as my Creep 6 isn't suitable for them

[@fletchersfixit6358]

Just fixed my problem thanks

[@jordig5123]

Hi everyone. Sorry to start the topic again. I removed the extra pin a while ago as suggested in the video (no improvement). I have now filed down the fork and a bit of the plastic seat where the rod fits, but not the tip of the fork which broke for the author of the video, and now it holds up in high gear (before it would jump to neutral). But what I don't understand is why Axial sells a product (2 speed) that doesn't work well without modifications. Is there any explanation? Thanks.

[@Tyrant482]

thanks, What mini servo are you using? Brand , Name , Number? Is it able to high voltage 8,4 Volt? I am looking for a good HV mini Servo with a fair price. Knows someonne a good one? Thank´s and Greetings

[@ericpeterson9676]

So with a new setup; should I cut that unit like the way you broke it? Or just shave it straight outta of the bag?

[@ExocagedRC]

I’d shave it right out of the bag

[@sambushee9296]

I was thinking about buying the ryft builders kit since it comes with 2 speed and sway bar. But what would you recommend for all the electronics?

[@ExocagedRC]

Reefs RAW500 steering and 99 micro for 2-speed, Flysky GT5 radio and a castle mamba x with 2400kv motor.

[@jamesvonlindern1522]

Did the rift kit fix that

[@thefreddykilo]

What tires are those on your Ryft?

[@ProfZULChannel]

Hai mr.exo..may i know what kind if motor and esc do you use for this ryft

[@knightmpw]

What is the recommended Servo for the 2 speed gearbox?

[@c.k.hobbyshop3351]

Nice work well done looks good 👍

[@chrispalusak7725]

What does st dr mean on the controler.

[@ryanmoran5622]

I wonder what would happen if you money shift it when your wide open 😬

[@mateo85tx]

Are you a machinist?? I have a few in my family and you definitely seem like one. Ha Happy July 4th all !!!

[@ExocagedRC]

I’m not a machinist, but I work around those guys a lot…😉😉

[@crazygrc528]

My Ryft make a slipping noise from the center diff. It still runs, but this is something new when I run it. Any info on this issue

[@eheggestad]

I’ve seen one other person take out the support shaft on the shift fork. I’m not so sure that I would call that an “oversight” by axial. I do think that the shift rod that engages the fork will be the next thing to go, based on the portion that broke loose from the fork. Happy 4th!

[@MrNICEBIG]

good job. thanks.

[@Mckhus]

I have 2 speed in mine, couple bashes and no issues hmm. Maybe cos i use super cheap micro servo and it doesnt have enough juice. Plastic case. 2speed is super loud tho and clacks due to tollerances in the engaging tabs. Recently had it apart and everything looked healthy. Though at 1st it were my diffs going and clacking but nah. Noticed my diffs are a bit notchy/coggy, like twisting a brushless motor by hand but rebuilt them and everything looks healthy. Are your diffs super smooth or have little cog to them?

[@teamcobrarcrccars6156]

Yiop men take more video no reef all day men

[@dezfan]

Hard pass on the Ryft for me.

[@dedydwisuputra6184]

First

[@MrDevo5]

wow youre sure persisting with this car man. not ready to admit its inherently crap yet? lol!

[@ExocagedRC]

I really like driving it, not crap to me at all.
