Jumper Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 the ryft looks more like 1/8th scale, but then it must be big to fit a 4S lipo in the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Whoever came with the idea of putting a 4s combo in it is a idiot, anyway that’s enough of this Ryft nonsense 🤣🤣🤣🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzle Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) I decided to paint my headers and the clear lexan bits that have sponsorship stickers an aluminum colour. To access the headers I had to remove my battery tray. Upon reassembly/reinstallation of the battery tray, Im noticing that only one side of the battery strap retention bar is threaded? One screw fits back in perfect while the other is just loosely laid in there. Is anyone else's like this? Perhaps I'm missing a part to keep the other side snug? Help would be appreciated as Losi's exploded view leaves a lot to be desired. Edited March 25, 2021 by Bizzle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Mine was exactly the same, the screw in the strap rod had been cross threaded, luckily I had a spare screw the same size in my parts bin The headers look cool painted, it’s a job I’ve been meaning to do but never got round to, I did reposition them so they face backwards though 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to know what that part number is. Maybe a call to Horizon... I thought of turning the headers the other way but I figured Losi had them like that for a reason, so I just put them back on the way they came stock. I like how the branded name plates came out though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Looking good mate, I would speak to Horizon, they seem pretty happy throwing parts at people going by the FB group, I done a quick search and the bar/rod/thingy is part of LOS241033 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upon some thought, I think I'll prefer Velcro straps. Getting the cap screws in and out is a pain, so I think Velcro is the way to go for me. Maybe I'll flip those headers while I'm at it 😁😁 EDIT: Not flipping the headers. I googled pics of actual monster trucks and all of them had the headers faced the way Losi has them. Also, Horizon is sending me a full batt tray set tomorrow free of charge. Excellent customer service. 👍🤘 Edited March 26, 2021 by Bizzle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydoddy69 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Being the cheap skate I am I’ve made up some limiting straps of my own and a servo link 😂 I also replaced those crappy cheese m2.5 bolts with the nasty 1.5mm hex head for some much better 2mm cap head bolts https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121926854381 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work 👍 I modded up a spare crawler bumper I had. It will break on the first tumble but should protect the body at least once lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzle Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Painted up the fuel cell/chassis brace. If my bumper isn't "scale" then maybe I can make up with a better looking fuel cell 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizzle Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 100mm hot racing limit straps installed. These are a perfect fit and have already stretched to the ideal length. Very happy with them. Also got in the famous bumper that makes all the scale guys cringe hahahahha. I hit it with a few coats of flat brake caliper paint and think it came out nice for being an eye sore. A very solid piece that will help salvage my chassis plates and body shell. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizzle Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Free LCG battery tray mod. Used the stock tray and trimmed the mounting points off it with my Dremel, a knife would work too. Removed my headers and marked a spot on the tray using the existing hole drilled for one of the header pipes. I did the same thing further back on the chassis using an existing hole in the chassis plate. I drilled holes in the battery tray where I marked them lining up with the chassis plate holes. The header holes and the mock headers them selves are drilled using a smaller hole so I just drilled them out a bit. I used some pivot balls as spacers up front to help support the header mount. From there I just used the front screws provided in the stock battery location for the header mounts and used 12mm screws for the rear. Looks pretty good I gotta say and it's strong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Nice mod question is how much does it improve the handling ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzle Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 The difference was truly noticeable. The in air manners were MUCH more consistent, it definitely stayed more planted in the corners as well. It will not transform the behaviours of the truck as it is still solid axle, however the difference was far more noticeable than I had anticipated. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I see Treal have released some more parts https://trealhobby.com/collections/losi-lmt Not really sure how the sway bar kit will work, you will have zero flex in the system with them, the links are meh, but the diff cups look good tho and the servo saver looks decent 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Have to be honest since I got the Jambo I can’t see myself using mine much if at all. I may sell it while it will still fetch good money. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
