Axial Ryft Rock Bouncing in the Mud!

[@bossbluff3577]

Three years later. . . My Ryft is still going strong. Always 3S… didn’t really need the extra 4S punch. Only breakage was several 4-link ends. Super easy fixes. The car is kinda perfect. It’s a semi-scale rock-bouncer and it just just a ton of fun.

[@Anthonyholdway]

I'm about to buy a second hand one can't wait. I'll run it on 3s. Is it a decent crawler/ basher combo on 3s?

[@jonathandock8416]

The rig looks super fun but even more exciting is your location man! It looks amazing 😍

[@benparfittvideo]

What an amazing RC spot.

[@theRCelement]

What a perfect location for crawling and rock racing/bouncing. Nice video🤙

[@hellorc7678]

Just came across your channel. I also have a small channel. That's one of the best ryft videos I've seen. I totally agree on the esc fan. I've had to shake debris out several times. I like it on 4s. Being totally overpowered is what makes it so fun. I also do crawlers! Just subbed!

[@stevenmortensen1257]

You have the voice of a veteran baseball announcer . That's meant as a compliment . Please release more great Ryft video .

[@Tuidkskiwjdhdbd]

The strip of water in sand is cool looking

[@westdesertwheeler]

Pretty wild, looked crazy in real life

[@munkeybiznes]

Perfect location and condition for rift👍

[@jamescox1896]

My Christmas bonus for this year is going to go towards a Ryft. Hopeful the wait will mean the lockers and sway bar will be in stock when i order it. Great video it looks right a home in that terrain.

[@greglewis7634]

Looks like fun in moab Utah and your on point rock bouncers are high powered machines that tear up there paths

[@shawnrichardson118]

I run mine in 4s and it’s just so much fun

[@MrDan1713]

I run my Ryft with 4S. I am going to run in some local competitions that I can only run 3S. An anti sway bar makes a world of difference with the torque twist.

[@jjshobbypower9091]

Very nice video, I love the location where you were. Yes, I do concern about your fan getting sucked with mud.. Hopefully it will be fine.

[@oldmanmtb1443]

What if you install the fastest hobbywing crawler motor? I know it won't be a crawler, but it might make it a more capable.

[@quinno96]

I use a 3s lipo. I hit a tree at full throttle and only the rod ends broke. Not the axle.

[@dantrivett8435]

I have one and it is a lot to handle but fun at the same time

[@norcalrc]

Awesome video bro. New subscriber here

[@jonluvslaura]

Can you do a video building a Ryft into a crawler please

[@hurricanepaul1]

Bro, are you the same as west desert shooter?!?!

[@spike--]

Never heard of you before. That was a great video. Thanks 👍. If you would have played music i wouldn't have watched.

[@Henrysbuilds1983]

No curb here u r driving way harder than I did but still broken axil in the front same place as everyone else

[@guynoir4733]

Don't ask to borrow mine .

[@westdesertwheeler]

Don’t worry I already have a friend for that

[@fritzdallmann2139]

They released a statement regarding the axel breakage and it was a bad batch of plastic so the new ones should be a lot tougher.

[@jeffvanek3404]

Where was the statement released?

[@matthutch5919]

U have the BEST location for the Ryft & the best video of the Ryft I've seen so far. I've taken mine out to our normal rock crawling area & it just eats up the terrain. Took it to a 4x4 clay area & definitely more at home with the tougher conditions. LOVING my Ryft. Looking forward to watching more of your videos 👍

[@hermanoker279]

I totally agree. It is an awesome rig. I run mine on 4s and have only broken a rod end. You definitely need to drive it responsibly.

[@mikesenf8211]

"Yeah there are alot of people breaking front axles " I feel attacked 😂😂 as mine sits in pieces

[@e.t.6496]

I'll never put a 4s in mine again. Broke a 4 link straight away to much power for the parts used

[@petekobraoutdoors7324]

Dude, thats the perfect place to bash that rock bouncer.OH YA!

[@Jarhead1313]

Where do you live bro? This has to be one of the best looking Rock Crawling,Rock Bouncing,Mudding, and Bashing in general spots that I've ever seen!

[@mikesblueskyproductionsuta7634]

This is Sand Hollow, Utah. It’s an amazing place. Red rock, dunes, and a lake. All in one. If you check out Matt’s off-road recovery, you can get a real sense of how awesome this place is. Logan has a great channel.

[@SyndicateRC]

What do you think, is it possible to convert this thing into a 2.2 Crawler...35T Brushed Motor, 3S and locked diffs? Yeah I know, there are better options, just curious.

[@westdesertwheeler]

Sure, you could. That’s what’s fun with RCs. You would probably want a lower gear transmission

[@frankie2499]

I wish you would build a ryft for crawling, they are super capable set up right...but you do have to bump up stuff a lot because of break overs 😂

[@apexstudio4657]

Wow awesome footage my friend👍🏻👬

[@mangler.m4950]

I put a sensors castle 1512 mamba x in mine. I have tons of power and the ability to crawl.

[@shawnrichardson118]

That thing is a beast and what a cool spot to wheel

[@johnabelljr1997]

I run a 3s lipo (Smart battery) in my Ryft

[@faithfamilyfriendsforever6777]

Bad ass vid" keep up the great work.

[@mikeman230]

Ok. Now we want you to send an Xmas to the moon 😁

[@rcpayne6416]

Best video for the ryft...I have a small channel as well, but your videos are on a different level!! Good job!!

[@kevinerickson2595]

I just bought a Xmaxx I decided to get the sand sock for under the body, hopefully keep out sand and snow ❄️

[@TSully2013]

Great work my friend scribed Slo mo great work Commentary good too Ryft matches terrain Nicely done

[@GyuHobbyRC]

I"ve never seen such a great video in my life I wish you prosperity. 형제 친하게 지내봅시다. 🤩🤩

[@bigheadrc]

Awesome Video on the Ryft Brother 👊👊👊👊👊

[@rc-daily]

Its not the esc that has the gyroscope. Its actually the receiver. Which works well when it works. However, it doesn't work great all that long or all that often. The esc and motor are decent though. The first batch of the ryfts really had axle issues but the second and later runs didnt quite have as many issues. I actually use 4 and 5s with mine. It's a horse with a mamba x and 2700kv puller pro from Holmes hobbies.

Hi Team R/C Daily! Please Tell me, is there any Stamp or Mark on the Box outside(when i'm at the dealer /store) where ich can find out whitch batch the Ryft is? Sorry for my bad english. Greatings from Germany! 😎

[@robgoffroad]

I just finished up my Ryft build yesterday... a bit of tuning today and it'll be ready to rip (ready to ryft??). I'm going to be in St. George for most of November hanging out near Sand Hollow so I'm looking forward to running the Ryft and my crawlers there. I've done most of the trails already in my SxS... will be fun to do some with these! I was thinking The Maze would be a great place to start.

[@XxJTreadxX]

I like 3s with mine. Just right in my opinion.

[@westdesertwheeler]

Really fun either way!

[@braaitongs]

How long do batteries last these days? I haven't driven an rc for 25 years. Back then battery life sucked and I wanted to get a petrol powered rc.

[@westdesertwheeler]

Depends on the car. A crawler is 3-4 hours with a 5000 mah pack. Fast cars closer to 45 minutes to an hour with a 5000 mah

[@braaitongs]

@@westdesertwheeler Wow! that is crazy long! batter tech has come on leaps and bounds. which do you prefer, battery or petrol powered?

[@4c2p0]

Running my ryft on 4s/50c, I haven't broke an axle yet, but I keep cooking the diffs. So far I've put a locker in the rear and in the centered diff inside the tranny. She riiiiiips hard! Possibly the funniest rc I've owned

[@CRAZYBUILD349]

badass , great job driving , video work too, smash that like people!!!

[@jdsrcs8061]

Nice!!!! First true running vid for what the rydt5is designed for!!!!! It's right ar home in Utah!!!!🤘🤘🤘

[@westdesertwheeler]

I’ve got more video on a few big walls and blasting sand dunes. It will come out soon

[@fernsolo]

Awesome video 👍

[@PK27Kawasaki]

This is the absolute best example of what this rig is for and what a rock bouncer is for and how it is ment too be driven

[@myrcisbetter4313]

Great video; I agree about runn9ng 4s, why buy a rc that is 4s capable and run it on 3s .

[@MarcoRCArena]

I like the concept. Might gonna give some more wheel speed to my Capra

[@westdesertwheeler]

Too much in the Capra and you’ll destroy axles pretty easy

[@rcarty419]

Damn dog! They are sick sweet video!! Great run and talk video. Remind me not to loan you my Ryft when I don’t get one!!! 😂

[@westdesertwheeler]

Haha I had to make sure it was good! Made a better video than babying it

[@jasonlam6338]

Just got mine and running the 4s in it. Having a blast... Great video

Feel like 3s is enough.

[@luatngo5408]

Great review brotha

[@haydenlarson2510]

Currently running 3s on my Ryft. Managed to break a rod end and just recently a front axle housing... I know I know you are probably thinking I torture my RCs, but honestly I will say it has taken some good hits, but I would not say I beat it super hard. Hoping axial comes out with some stronger parts. I can only imagine the damage that could be done to this truck if not handled carefully on 4s

[@Art-zs6sl]

I bought a 3s battery for when I get one, but I like to be able to use the throw of the throttle and don't care for rigs over tuned like that. More trouble than it's worth to me.

[@kylespiteri4597]

I have an axial ryft, og wraith and a trx defender

[@westdesertwheeler]

Great line up

[@kylespiteri4597]

@@westdesertwheeler thanks man

[@Art-zs6sl]

You need a Capra it seems like.

[@GrimJerr]

I've had mine for two weeks and with less than 5 hours of drive time and many many things breaking, My best advice is DO NOT BUY A RYFT. I can not say it any clearer, the RYFT is a $500 buy in for a $1200 RC car if you want to drive it for what it is trying to simulate. There are so many other things wrong with this RC the Breakage is only the START.

[@Art-zs6sl]

Ok. Care to elaborate?

[@spike--]

Could always find a different hobby. 🤷
