Thanks I hope that I can get a few tips and hints for upgrading here, I have just bought the new Axial Ryft and took it out for the first time yesterday "Its Awesome" and may even get it out today in the snow! 😁

@Cleon73... is it a shelfer or are you going to run it ??

You have any pics of it without the shell ??

I haven't run it yet, other than in the house, and I'm not in a club, so other than a quick blast on the road in front of the house it'll be a shelfer. 

 

Here's some pics without shell

Fabulous gents well done, and thanks for sharing 👍 stock shell looks fab!

I love the andrews livery too, I once had a ride in Russel brookes’ rs500- great memories 😀 is that one a tamiya body?

I’m doing an rc rally project at the moment- these are tempting me to drop those and get one of these instead 😎

fits like a glove and boy does the car shift along now 😄

Is that a straight swap for the original? I don't understand how the battery affects performance, I'd assume that was down to the motor??
