Hell horn. Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Tyres on. Looks so much better now. The larger size really does work well on this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 It's a shame SSD don't do a wider ryft Hub. Wouldn't mind it being slightly wider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffDa Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Well I got a run in on my new Ryft this morning. Only used a 2S battery and WOW! On wet long ish grass, last cut in early October, the right front wheel came up under full acceleration until she was flying along and on the wet road with only a little lift of that wheel it was flying! I tried it on 50% and 75% too and 75% still lifted that wheel on the grass While 50% tamed it into what felt like a fast Rock Crawler. Yet it will crawl along and climb over the leg supports of our garden coffee table with ease. Looking forward to taking it the RC Adventures Shildon soon to try it on the rocks! Plus, my 3S battery will get an outing. 🤔 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Wait until you get a 3s or 4s in it. It's a monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidder Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Part way through rebuilding mine. I've put the 2 speed in as i have the parts so may as well at least try it. Sway bar and 2 diff lockers going in too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesnake505 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 So received this today, and holy crap I love it. Running 2s as I don't have any 3s (they are on their way) what size 3s fit as I have a feeling the ones I ordered won't as I'm sure they are same size as my 2 s which is too large for the battery tray. The sensor wire in the middle of the battery plug, what do you do with this when fitting different battery connectors. I use xt90s Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I run 5000mah 3s 50c lipos and they just fit in with a push. I cut the wire about 2 inches from the plug and used a bit if heat shrink to hold it to the negative wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant wait to get it in to the woods for a proper test drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I have the same and they do fit but very tight. The telemetry won't work without using the silly priced spektrum lipos. As for wheels. Go for ones 35mm wide and running slow hubs. Then get the SSD ryft hubs from rcbitz. Sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell horn. Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 ****ing phone. Slw Hub's. Not bloody slow. Get the SSD ryft hubs. They work with any wheel using the SLW replaceable hub. Almost any wheel using a 6 bolt removable hex is using this design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Trailing arms arrived today. Way ahead of the date the post shows. So that's nice. Might put the rear ones on the front at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesnake505 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Kinda embarrassing, took the ryft out today up in too the woods with my lad and his ftx mauler. He asked what all the knobs and switch did on the spektrum controller, it was then I found the throttle limiter switch 🤣🤣🤣🤣 So much more fun with 100% throttle. One of my 2s lipos however had balloned while in use, so that's destin for the scrap heap. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 yeh certainly makes a diferance having 100% throttle right enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 New servo saver to try once my new servo arrives. £9 off eBay. Worth a try. Nice strong spring and can adjust how tight it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 I bought one if them, there is annoying slop between the the tube and the cam, I stuck it together with red thread lock and it was ok for a while 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
