As I said with mine the gyro is going opposite way. Here’s a pic of my receiver the way it was installed out the box, do you think if i switch it over a 180 turn it will work? Also I’m the pic you can see the rod end that snapped is the straight ones better? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkbythesea Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Flipping it 180 should work - as it’s a bottom loading Rx box I’d expect the gyro to want to be the other way up to work correctly if there’s no software switch to reverse its operation.

Actually, scratch that - I just read the manual - it doesn’t care which way up it is as long as it’s properly calibrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did bind and calibrate it when I first took it out the box. Maybe I went wrong somewhere, when I find some rod ends In-stock, and have it working, I will try the procedure again.

JupiterTwo Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Just placed an order for a Ryft kit today, so now on the search for the electrics. Browsing round I’ve seen mentions of the Castle Copperhead combos. Are these a good match, or am I better headed to MambaLand? https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/castle-copperhead-10-1406-1900kv-combo-crawler-1338357 I’m expecting to go single speed, more interested in going up and over things than out and out speed. Servo wise I’m leaning towards a Savox SW1212SG . Is that strong enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian-2.0 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Not sure about the servo but this was the motor I was going to use when I have some spare cash and its not being used for new windows in the house, https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/334755/ Just had a look at the servo 😳 looks like it may have plenty of power, A.J uses the Castle motor ESC combo so he will be the one to give any opinions on that set up.

JupiterTwo Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Cool, thanks. I had looked at some reviews of the AXE r2 combos, and saw some negative feedback regarding the gearing. I’m wondering now if the low speed set included makes that less of a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JupiterTwo Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Lots of shiny hop ups appearing - are any necessary / must haves for a kit version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian-2.0 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I like mine as is but it has its glitches, I will change the motor & ESC at some point to eliminate the cogging and the sway bar is a must I made my own prior to the availability of the one to suit but now lost to choose from. There are a few week points like the axles and the shock parts but these will get upgrades too at some point but it the moment It is going well over most stuff. I would say though its kind of better as a crawler but can shift along as long as you just don't turn into a corner 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JupiterTwo Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Got some bits: did some building I do have a aluminium servo horn to come, ordered a 25t and bought a 23t servo 🙃 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fastolsen Posted July 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Like How this thing rides now:) The Mamba combo is great, with great low speed torque and enough wheelspeed to climb the loose stuff. Locked center and rear, have to lock the front as well. The swaybar made a huge difference as well👍 Edited July 27, 2021 by fastolsen 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JupiterTwo Posted August 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2021 Finally got the shift servo sorted, so all assembled now I’m gonna need to find some dirt to run on if I ever want to use 3s and turn. 2s is much better for the moment, hopefully I can get it out of the back garden this weekend and open it up a little 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian-2.0 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Any Ryft owners had this problem? If I throttle on hard I get a grindy sort of noise and same if I get stuck the main drive shafts to the front and rear diffs spin but I get no drive to any wheels just a grrrr noise, would this mean that the diffs need a thicker grease? hope someone can help its driving me slightly bonkers 🥳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C tay Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 What’s the best combo I can get for my ryft to crawl with. The stock setup is pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian-2.0 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 So it seems that both my front and rear Axle gear housings are toast, made using that cheese type metal and have had to contact Horizon Hobbies for a warranty claim, also the front servo is so sloppy now, I will also try and claim for this but may just have to upgrade 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian-2.0 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Just spend the morning stripping down both Axles as they have been slipping, I cant find the shims i need and the diff locks are out of stock for the moment so I tried a bodge option of changing the small rubber "O" rings behind the both crown gears in each axle with a slightly fatter version 🤪 After a short test run I'm very please with the results, not sure how long it will last but only time will tell 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidder Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Is anyone running the 2 speed kit with the RTR motor ESC? Good upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian-2.0 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 From what I've heard its not the best upgrade and changing the RTR motor and ESC to something a lot better and smoother is the better option, It may not be the cheapest though 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tomr Posted December 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2021 3 coffees and a bacon sarnie has got me off to a flying start Have to say Axial do a good job at making these kits super easy to build . Axles and gearbox built, a quick esc and motor test then I’m on veggie peeling duty 😁 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
