Popular Post .AJ. Posted May 13, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2021 Had a email to say Wheelspin had the 2 speed instock, by the time I got online they had gone, but about an hour later I had a email from Amain saying I had some store credit, so I used that and ordered it from them for about £16 shipped 😂 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post .AJ. Posted May 17, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2021 They all went together perfect, was nice to see oversized bearing used on the pinions, rear outer hub bearing, front outer axle and front outer knuckle bearings. The mesh was good, but I did manage to fit a .2 shim just to set it perfect 👌 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 Been trying to order a set of Jer RC trailing arms for a while, but given up now and ordered a set of these, you can mount the Axial stiffening plates to them, I dunno why tbh, but I’m going to spray mine black and mount them for a one off look 🤣 Also I have a plan to beef up the centre shaft slider tubes.... watch this space 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 Picked up a micro servo ready for the 2 speed, also got a set of the straight rod ends to replace the weak angled ones on the front links 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 Talking about 2 speed, ive seen lots of people complaining about it being rough and unreliable, but saw this post about how to make the shifting much better of FB I’ll be building mine this way without the guide rod and with a extra shim 👌 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 Parts arrived, I also bought a set of Dhawk aluminium discs/hex’s, ive seen a lot people having issues with the stock pot metal hex’s cracking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 2 speed in and set up, I left out the guide rod, but didnt see any need for shims, the shift is pretty slick and I’m more than happy with it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyfold Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I'm very much torn by the Ryft. I love the look of it, I think it will be good in loads of places near me (woodland, fields etc) but every review I've seen talk about it breaking all the time, and this thread does nothing to quash those fears. With the kit coming out next month, does it address the issues that everybody has had with the truck so far? Also, with the kit, it looks like a very big 1/10th truck, and I'm not sure if this motor will be enough for it: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-trackstar-waterproof-1-10-brushless-power-system-3000kv-80a.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Don’t drive like a basher and it will be just fine, ive seen too many stupid vids of big jumps and 50mph rollovers that trash everything Electrics wise you ideally want a 550 sized motor and I wouldn’t go any higher than 2700kv if you want to run 3s, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyfold Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Thanks. With regards to the motor, is there a way to tell if it's 540 or 550, it doesn't seem to be clear as to what determines it. Sorry for the daft question, but I'm struggling to price up the kit with electronics as I don't really know what motors are 550... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
