I wish the soil here in Virginia was dry like that you were able to try that first line over and over again without the tires getting caked full of dirt. Here where I am the tires instantly get filled with dirt and you're not going anywhere
Great job! I'm a shiny wheel guy too. I used some China SLW alloy wheels on mine. Locked Up RC makes some .185 SLW hubs that do not have a recessed center hole, so the stock 5mm large flange nuts will work. You do have to ream out the hub hole from 4mm to 5mm, but a step drill bit makes quick work of that. With my wheels the .185 hubs gave exactly the same offset as the stock Ryft wheels.
The Ottsix tire seems it was destined for the Ryft. They, however, will need to be glued to the wheel as the OEM tires were. The Ryft (for me ) is like watching an otherwise hot-mess with great potential get a Cinderella-like transformation. The sadistic Brit managed to break a driveshaft before getting his Ryft out of the workshop. Although I question the maturity or emotional stability of launching one's RC 30+ feet straight up only to land on the cement or an iron railing it will be an interesting study as to the Bash survivability of the Ryft's exoskeletal construction.
I commented a few videos ago about the Ryft not really being my cup of tea, it’s starting to get my attention now, just a pity it needs nearly rebuilt to get where it needs to be, fun content as always 😃👍
The sway bar is really the only thing you need to do. The stock tires are pretty darn good. I cobbled together a sway bar for mine from one made for the Wraith.
@@GuyonaMoose I seen one in my local hobby shop last week, they are actually a LOT bigger than I thought, I was thinking they were the same size as the Capra and didn’t see the point in them, but they are a totally different animal 😃
Am i nuts for thinking capra portals might be a winner on this? I feel like the after market for those axles and the ability to use brass to lower the COG would help tons
Excellent choice swapping out those wheels! Honestly didn't think you were making it out of there! Impressed! Might be the best RYFT out there. What are you gonna do about these gears though? Nice run bro.
That can't be the only way to get those tires on the ryft ,I ordered the tires and accept the challenge , I don't have bomber wheels sitting around so my investimagation continues , but some help would be greatly appreciated
Those tyres look awesome on the Ryft!! Man, that's a beast. Do you have any experience with the Axial Yeti? I won one in a raffle at the weekend, but it's a roller. I have a servo, but need a motor/ ESC. Any recommendations to make it perform like the Ryft? It's heavily upgraded, so should be able to take some power, and has locked front and rear diffs! Any advice would be gratefully received. Cheers. Rob
Yeah I had one for a little while. For power you could do a simple Castle Mamba X and a 3800kv and have fun with it. If you plan to order I can find one and get you a link for it. Servo, for that I’d go with the Reefs Raw500 or possibly the reefs 400sc servo. I’ve got the 400sc on my lasernut now and it’s awesome
@@ExocagedRC hey, thanks for getting back to me so fast. 👍🏻 I'm in the UK, so getting stuff sent from across the pond seems to be extraordinary expensive at the moment. I do have an old BSD Racing Flux Assault, that was upgraded before I bought it. That has a Hobbywing Max10 in it. Do you think that would work? And I've no idea about what size pinion!! (Sorry for all the questions!!) 👍🏻
Very nice brother, those wheels n tires are meaty! Queston for you with my RYFT, when i go to hit full throttle you can tell not all the power is getting to the ground and you can hear this awful almost grinding/possible gear slippage going on but only when i go from 1/4 throttle to full ir from a dig. If i gradually ease the the throttle to.full it dosent really do it also if i turn it upside down and go full throttle it dosent make that slippage grind noise whatsoever weird? Any thoughts 9n that b4 i rip.her gearbox and diffs? Thanks in advance my man!🤝👍
You’re going to have to open it up. Make sure the ring gear bolts are tight on the diff cups. Mine weren’t so tight and while you’re in there get some silicone earplugs and put in there. Watch my ryft diff video for details on that.
@@ExocagedRC I love these "it depends" answers. When watching your bomber videos, it looked u could drive quite fast and even jump in your backyard. Lyft seemed not to be able to land any jump. It fell over or bounced and fell over. If we take lasernut in the group too,which one would be your choice as an overall offroad(not crawling)basher. Only sad thing is for example the ridiculous condition of a box new lasernut. Do you know if they are going to redesign anything. Same with Lyft front axle housing. Your channel is the#1 without any doubt. You test just those things, at least what I have in my mind I bought my capra after watching all I could find. There have been no surprises. Now I'm thinking of Lyft or bomber. Perhaps either of them allows me the same speed as a 8 buggy on sand. It just looks stupid in a sandpit. Some U4 (not ridiculously topheavy) would be best in looks an performance. What were those losing models with wings LBD or something. Do the share the lasernut bearings and axles. Would not want to buy alu with over$ 1000. Thanks for the best channel.
@@ExocagedRC I can see these doing really well in the King of the Hammers Scale Ultra 5K Races etc with everything upgraded. Can't wait to see what Vanquish comes out with :)
Man you seem to be the hardest working man in RC YT. Another great one.
Always busy man.
He says it's nasty in there and then he blows right up over it another good one man
The best Ryft I've seen yet👍👍
YUP. It's amazing.
Love the trailing arm mod,great video,cant wait to see that stock servo get ripped out ha
Yeah man it’s past due to get out of this thing!
This is how I want my Ryft to look and perform like!!!! All I have to to is get one!!!! Great vid EXO!!!!🤘🤘🤘
You and Vitavon need to go ahead and make a crawler or something together lol!
Awesome bash, the tires are amazing! Thanks for all the hard work you do bro!
Thank you and thank you for watching them.
Nice!!!! That steep climb is amazing!! I would love to practice on that very same steep hill. Nice video!!

Those USDs look the 1:1 part on that Ryft! Hoping they do a roller or kit here soon, heard a rumor we'll see. Good stuff as always Joe. 🍻👊👍
Great rip Joe, handles nicely along with some skill so the combination made a great video
Those tyres would be sick on the Mojave

Super cool buddy, I would love to have me a set of the stickies, I have the KLR/M’s they are my go to tire Appreciate you sharing

I was the same man I was hatin on the ryft rtr when it came out. I’ve got a built up kit version now hahaha I love it

The housings simply aren’t strong enough for the abuse this truck can give.

Wow awesome! What kind of place is it!!
I think ryft need a more smooth combo. Have you ever think to put in it a Axe 2700 kw combo?
Thank you
Alberto
About time
Man, you really seem pumped on this ryft!
With the mods I’ve done I like it more and more.
@@ExocagedRC keep the great vids coming man! Thanks
Great video
Also, I have a puller pro and Holmes new 6 shooter on the way. Have you heard of them or gotten to test one out yet?
I tried to get the 6 shooter but was busy and forgot about the pre order on it.
@@ExocagedRC they have them on the site currently!
Parental advisory explicit images!!!
RYFT with those tires looks obscene.
"I like it a lot"!
Very nice.
Can you Driverin as fast with bomber with lock d
So can u drive as fast with bomber (lock diffs)
Champ!
That can't be the only way to get those tires on the ryft ,I ordered the tires and accept the challenge , I don't have bomber wheels sitting around so my investimagation continues , but some help would be greatly appreciated
Nice vid!👍
Btw what do you think about the new Black Mambas?
sweet rig 👍

Hey Joe i am local Jacksonville. Where is that area you ran at. Would like to go there with my daughter and go bash around. Thanks.

Are those tires the green or the red compound I ordered the red
Where on earth did you get those axles !? I broke mine within half an hour front left of the diff housing. Bummmmed
I kill my phone. Ryft vs bomber on flat and jumps . Which one faster and stays upright better
depends on driving style, gyro settings and power

People wanna know if the FTX DR8 6S ready 60mph rated racers can survive a Exocaged RC bashing???
Go racing on a track with the Wraths please.
We don’t have any racing scene for these around here. Maybe in a few months we will but right now we just don’t have it
@@ExocagedRC I can see these doing really well in the King of the Hammers Scale Ultra 5K Races etc with everything upgraded. Can't wait to see what Vanquish comes out with :)
What axels are those and makes them
Vitavon makes these.
