skidder Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I pre-ordered the Ryft and the wait is killing me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SWF Posted January 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2021 Well my RBX10 has landed, most impressed! I spent a few hours bodging on a Bomber soft sway bar, as the Axial one won’t be available for a while it seems. The torque twist seen on videos, and the change made by either dual shocks or sway bar made it look worthwhile? I’ll try and post a picture. Shame is I’ve not been able to get out today, so maybe later in the week if the weather holds! Cheers 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did it take to mod the bomber sway bar on and how is it working for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWF Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) I would say it makes quite a difference. I mainly used the parts supplied in the Bomber Soft Sway Bar kit, plus 2 x 22mm pieces of nitro fuel tube as spacers. I also needed a couple of spacers, I just sourced them from my parts bin, for where the push rods mount at the axle end, as the ball ends fitted from the factory are too big to fit in the kit ball ends. The push rods are made from stainless M3 bolts, cut down to 30mm, with ball ends from the kit threaded onto them. Sideways offset (inwards) at the bottom and backwards offset(towards front) at the top. The sway bar assembly was then mounted to the axle and marked where it hits the underside of the “fuel cell”, on full suspension compression. Caution, if you get the rod ends in the wrong order, the bar contacts the “fuel cell” before the suspension is fully compressed, so would most likely cause something to break! That is what took me longest to work around. If you then drill 3mm holes, to thread the sway bar through, a little upwards and to the rear of the marks, the axle has full movement and the sway bar works without reaching any mechanical limits. I removed the “Fuel Cell” stickers so they can be fitted at a later date, should the bar be removed, the 3mm holes being the only evidence it was ever fitted. I also used a couple of the parts supplied with the kit within the “fuel cell”, screwed to the base, in order to better support the bar. That was quite involved though and hard to describe! I doubt there is much real world need for this, just me being anal. Any who, it works very well, if I do say so myself. Well worthwhile, the torque twist is far better controlled, which improves the ability to steer under power greatly. Disclaimer, it is a version (improved imho), from a modification by one of the YouTube beta testers. If I had access to the correct parts from other models, you need to see what would work, I would make something better supported by the frame. When or if the “real” sway bar is available, I will get one and fit that. This modification, very worthwhile as it is, needs better support at the 90degree bends of the torsion bars, if I am being totally honest. Fell free to PM me if you want photos or a better description of what I did. Great fun beast of a vehicle, can’t wait to get a 4s for mine, so enjoy!

I may hold out a couple of weeks to see if one of the aftermarket people comes up with something. I had a brilliant session with it yesterday. Put a couple of big 3 cell packs through it. It is phenomenal what is gets over. Tackling stuff my sc10ii struggles with and bouncing over. I liked trying to get up very steep clay / red mud hills and haveing it sit spinning at about a quarter throttle and then giving it some the second you see a bit of traction. Easy to overdo it too, I popped out of some hills way higher than intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidder Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I have an issue with the rear diff. Think a shim is damaged. Going to try to bodge for now as no stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertberr Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 How many times do we see a new rig, launched amongst much fanfare, then left almost unsupported from a parts perspective, so early adopters who break something have to shelf the thing almost immediately whilst waiting on parts. Not just the Ryft, which is rather good by all accounts, but almost everything that hits the shelves these days, with HH seemingly the worst offenders.
