Brian-2.0 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 This is the one I've gone with https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRAXXAS-UDR-UNLIMITED-DESERT-RACER-GPM-RACING-ALLOY-SWAY-BAR-ARM-LINKAGE-REAR/114634189689?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 hope it fits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 I reckon the drop links will need to be shorter, but it should work with a bit of modding 👌 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immortaljellyfish Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 See, I'm still very much in the learning phase so lack the confidence for most modding at the moment! Have just bought myself a Kyoto kit which I'm going to have to put together as a learning experience, actually. Also got lots of stuff to do on my Talion (RPM arms etc). Am slowly getting there! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post fastolsen Posted March 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) Went for my first offroad test today without snow:). Performed OK, but need to change/fill the diffs with thicker oil.. Also, after 15 minutes of gentle driving the pinion gear got loose, so I lost all the drive.. Boring... Mamba X crawler has arrived, just waiting for the battery plug👍 Edit: Is there any steel options available for the Wildboar center driveshafts? Thinking of locking the center diff since Im not gonna use it as a basher.. Not so easy to take pictures with the phone while driving, but here are a couple: Edited March 31, 2021 by fastolsen 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWF Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 You’ve shown me your’s, so I’ll show you mine! It does make a big difference. I’ve got the Axial sway bar on order, though that is still a month or so away. I already have a replacement fuel cell so that it won’t have a leak, once my bodged sway bar is removed, haha. My problem is that I’m developing an irrational fear of using this, for fear of it breaking! It’s just been run up and down the street during lockdown and now I can take it for a bash about, I’m afraid to! I think that I’ve been reading and watching too many threads about breakages. Looking forward to hear how you get on this weekend. Cheers Steve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramrod420 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I have had the ryft for less than a week and given it a few solid test runs. I'm now getting a weird grinding type noise from the front diff and the front tires don't spin anymore. Pretty new to the rc world so don't really have any idea what could be the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastolsen Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Been out testing again, and I sort of like it. But, I can't see what it is good at out of the box:P As a basher it kind of sucks, and with the amount of power this thing comes with it seems like they want it to be a basher? As a rock climber or rock racer it just doesn't work with the diff setup and cogging. Will for sure go the crawler/rock racer route with mine, and lock the diffs etc.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
