Dude i just ordered one for me. my first build was back in 1986 when i built the RC-10. im looking forward to my build. i watch your RTR and makes me looking even more to the rig. so excited. but ill be taking my time, and no hurry. well... thats what i say now. thanks for the vids. ill get back to ya when i have it ready to rill. thanks again.
Finally! Something new I can really get excited about,looks like Axials most complete kit since the bomber.Thanks for sharing can't wait to see it completed and running!
I want it. To me that grey looks SO much better than orange/black. Plus you can dye it! Happy to see the 2 speed included as well. Hopefully people will give this thing another look. It had a tough launch.
Bought the orange rtr ryft after waiting for the kit. I really like mine. Too many people think this thing is a basher. It’s great at its intended purpose.
I had alot of fun building mine , I and a smaller esc and motor in didn't like so put a Mamaba X and 1406 motor and this flys also put bead locks on stock tires only running 2s now going to try 3s !!
Hey I'm building my daughter one right now what electronics did you end up going with I was throwing a spektrum system in out of an old truck and don't think it's going to be right for this truck what do you think of the copperhead 10 with the 2400kv motor setup??
Nice build Greg. I have bought both coloured RTR RYFT’S.I couldn’t decide which colour I liked best, so l bought the orange and the black one. I’m glad they finally released the kit build version. I’ll be looking forward to getting that and doing a build version of the RYFT that’s different from the RTR version. I watch your TH-cam channel all the time. I like your Rc reviews you do as well as your build videos. Keep up the the great work. Glenn Miller from Peterborough, Ontario.Canada 🇨🇦👍👍😎
Really like your PL Cap 🧢 👍 They kept this kit quiet 🤫 eh.. Really happy about the sway bar.. Are they going to start putting that on the RTR? That's what's stopping me from ordering a Ryft 🤔😄
Look like a very nice kit comparing to the RTR version. At least it comes with the 2 speed transmission, the trailing arms aluminium plates and the mostly needed sway bar. Really wish Axial has included these parts on the RTR version as the RYFT RTR is not cheap. I wonder when the official Axial RYFT sway bar will be available in my country, really looking forward to it as running 4s is really unstable at the moment and I am speaking on behalf of all of the RYFT owners.
So awesome!! I knew it was better to wait for this! I’m glad I didn’t run out & buy the rtr ryft . Almost did lol. Heading to my LHS to order it now!!!🤩🤩👍🏼🍻
Dye impregnates into the plastic whereas paint only adheres to the surface. When you roll it, a painted cage could scratch or chip and you’ll see the grey underneath. If you scratch a cage has been dyed, you wont see the original color peeking through.
This thing looks awesome. I love it a lot!! Thanks for the well done Video. Question 1 : Can we slow this down to make it, as you shift it on 2nd, gear, it could become a crawler ? Question 2 : Can we modify it to install a 4 wheel steering setup ? Thanks for your reply.
Awesome a builders kit I've been waiting I ran my buddy's rtr it needs sensored brushless for my preference, do your RC DRIVER logo with a hill in the background on the body panels, you mentioned dipping the cage in dye do you have a how to video? great product release thank's for always being precise 😉👍
I'm pissed that they have released this kit with diffs and spools but they're not available anywhere to purchase anywhere for guys that bought the rtr months ago. We are stuck with epoxy for diffs. Hopefully the new ones are a heck of a lot better than the ones that come on the rtrs.
Oh my gosh I want this. And I want to get one for someone else. It’s pre-order do you know when it will be out. And what your honest opinion on a motor/esc combo for it would be? I love your videos Brother and you have a great eye for the review details. Your Konghead video was what inspired me to get one.
Nice a kit, but all the development with the hobby still the only company that had a stab at no horrible steering servo either on the chassis, sort of acceptable but servo on the axle I really dislike and Capo's cable steering was out there but works, takes a bit to set up and needs regular maintenance but come on out there do something NOW, it would be such a HOT sales point and would get me putting my hand in my pocket more often.
Oh, I have also noticed they have not included the pivot balls for the 2nd slot at the bottom of the front suspensions. And for the colour scheme, I think it will look very cool and different if you dye the cage to Ironman metallic red and the body panels to matt gold, just a suggestion.
Hi. Really great quality video. Im gonna use: Arrma BLX185esc and Arrma 2050motor. Teamcorally OC27 Servo. Spectrum DX3 remote and Spectrum SR6100AT reciver. Dont know about the small servo for the transmission. Any suggestions? Best Regards from Denmark
@@rcdriver Hi. Thanks! The good news is that the Spectrum mini servo is in stock at my local shop. The bad news is there's no know date for delevery of the truck. As all my 3 kids are driving RC I think this build will be great to learn them how an RC is build up and hopefully will teach/learn them a little more about the mechanics behind it all. And it will be great to build it together as a family project. Looing forward.
Dumb question, but since this is now offered in a kit. Would this be worth turn into a crawler “hybrid” so to speak. I’m just now venturing into the crawler/trail rider scene and love the look of this ryft!
The thought had crossed my mind about tweaking it to crawl because there seems to be a lot of interest about its crawling ability. It’s kind of wide and long for stability and it’s weight bias doesn’t seem to be suited for crawling. But much of it can be overcome with some custom work. If you really want it as a crawler, I say go for it. It might not be the most capable, but I’m sure it will be fun.
Great video, This thing looks awesome. The only this the bothers me is the servo on the axel. Just the look of it. When i get it, im going to figure out how to hide it more.
@@rcdriver i was thinking of adding on to the front of the roll cage, and putting a wench in it, kind of like this th-cam.com/video/46fHE5_cwIw/w-d-xo.html Wench wouldn't be operational, just for looks
Nice kit and vid. Waiting for someone to come out with a 1/18 or 1/16 scale of this type of vehicle. Or if anyone can recommend an existing platform to build up from. I hike or mtb to my RC spots and need something to fit into my backpack.
Would speculate the rear trailing arms are probably compatible with the RR10 Bomber arms, if so there are tons of upgrade options. The need for the sway bar reminds me of the RR10, almost useless without it. Got rid of my RR10 and built a Capra, much better truck.
My Ryft has been an absolute piece of junk since day one, $500 for the RTR, now with the binding and diff issues I'm gonna have to sink at least another 300 in it
the Ryft is 1 problem after another. like the first gen wraith. the plastics soft and strip out easy. As an experienced RC enthusiast I do Not recommend this to anyone.
I stripped out one screw hole building this kit and it was my fault. I had the Makita driver clutch set on 10 for an M3x10 when it should have been set on 1.
No servo splines for different brands? That’s idiotic.. and a bit nasty to boot.. brand-locking those that aren’t aware of more options than the spektrum crapola..
It’s the same for the SCX10III and Capra, it’s not really a new thing, just thought I’d mention it. Modelers have come up with solutions to adapt other servo brands.
exactly the kind of untrustworthy FAN BOY Shite that made me Unsubscibe from your Channel. My GRYFT has sat idle for 2 weeks now because the Diffs have failed and there are no replacement parts and no locker spools. You cannot be trusted for an honest review.
Not gonna lie, I love the building part more than the driving part. Call me crazy.
Same! Except if the kit has a lot of decals. 😂
Lol I just finished a king yellow build talk about decals lol so many. I know you know ;) keep up videos!
Me2😂

It's almost like you knew what color I was going to dye my cage. ;) Nice build-up Greg!
I just had this feeling 😆
One of you 2 could put the Yeti up against the Ryft, that would be a fun fight to watch
pro tip: watch series at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies recently.
@Gustavo Jaxton Yea, I've been watching on flixzone for months myself :D
@Gustavo Jaxton Yup, I have been watching on flixzone for years myself :)
Great video, just got our kit to build up.
Were the axles per broken ??

Die it black? 😆
Bought the orange rtr ryft after waiting for the kit. I really like mine. Too many people think this thing is a basher. It’s great at its intended purpose.
I agree. Part of the fun is finding the right location to use it, picking the right line and attacking the hill like a real bouncer.
Good to see new kits coming out. I’d buy a kit over rollers and RTR’s any day... which is why only 4 out of my 35 cars aren’t kits.
I had alot of fun building mine , I and a smaller esc and motor in didn't like so put a Mamaba X and 1406 motor and this flys also put bead locks on stock tires only running 2s now going to try 3s !!
i just bought the kit, would you please tell me what type and brand of grease you used?
Hey I'm building my daughter one right now what electronics did you end up going with I was throwing a spektrum system in out of an old truck and don't think it's going to be right for this truck what do you think of the copperhead 10 with the 2400kv motor setup??
Was at hobbytown today they had 2 I put it on layaway can't wait to build it
awesome upgrades from rtr, great unboxing and build!
Good job skipping aligning the links and the front end
Really liked that
Good job Axial! Exactly what us builders want. Nice Video!
Hey Greg would a max10 combo on 3s power this truck?? ...just bought the kit i don't have another 200 for power

Can’t wait to see part 2 of RYFT build!!!
Does it matter what servo you put on the two speed transmission could it be the same servo as the steering servo
Been dreaming about this !!! Awesome Video Brother 👊👊👊👊👊
Thanks! Yep, certainly liking the extras in the kit version.
Man it looks huge next to you 👍
Do you think a first timer would be able to build this
Love the intro!! I like your blue, silver, and white.
Really like your PL Cap 🧢 👍
They kept this kit quiet 🤫 eh..
Really happy about the sway bar.. Are they going to start putting that on the RTR? That's what's stopping me from ordering a Ryft 🤔😄
I wear my PL hat everywhere! 🤩 Not sure if Axial will include the swaybar with the RTR. It is an easy option to install though.
What electronics would you recommend to get for this kit?
This really got me hyped. This is an awesome package
This is awesome, just what I wanted to see. I'm excited to get one. I like the cage on this one.
2 speed baby!

I lov ed my wraith kit way back. This looks sweet wish the wife would let me get one..
So awesome!! I knew it was better to wait for this! I’m glad I didn’t run out & buy the rtr ryft . Almost did lol. Heading to my LHS to order it now!!!🤩🤩👍🏼🍻
Awesome! Very cool supporting your LHS. Enjoy the build!
Awesome, need me some build kits to put together and this looks like it's right up may alley!! 👍👍
Do you have to dye it? am wondering if you can paint it instead it would be better
Dye impregnates into the plastic whereas paint only adheres to the surface. When you roll it, a painted cage could scratch or chip and you’ll see the grey underneath. If you scratch a cage has been dyed, you wont see the original color peeking through.
Was a running video ever made on this? I looked through and didn’t see it. Looks like a great kit.
This thing looks awesome. I love it a lot!! Thanks for the well done Video. Question 1 : Can we slow this down to make it, as you shift it on 2nd, gear, it could become a crawler ? Question 2 : Can we modify it to install a 4 wheel steering setup ? Thanks for your reply.
you can crawl if you run a low kv motor and vitavon makes a mirrored rear axle for 4ws.
I was waiting on them to do the kit version 👍🏾🔥
Why doesnt it come with a motor and servos and stuff ? So you can build it then just put in a battery and ready to go
What does the spool do?
Awesome a builders kit I've been waiting I ran my buddy's rtr it needs sensored brushless for my preference, do your RC DRIVER logo with a hill in the background on the body panels, you mentioned dipping the cage in dye do you have a how to video? great product release thank's for always being precise 😉👍
Nice build!!!
I think I’m gonna take out the interior... they look a lot cleaner.. just my opinion but great build! I’d keep it the black and grey...
I'm pissed that they have released this kit with diffs and spools but they're not available anywhere to purchase anywhere for guys that bought the rtr months ago. We are stuck with epoxy for diffs. Hopefully the new ones are a heck of a lot better than the ones that come on the rtrs.
Its going to be a lot of ... Fun. You got me there.
What grease does he use on when he put it on the circle part in the first part
A hobbywing 2600kv 550 motor and esc combo has huge power.
Oh my gosh I want this. And I want to get one for someone else. It’s pre-order do you know when it will be out. And what your honest opinion on a motor/esc combo for it would be? I love your videos Brother and you have a great eye for the review details. Your Konghead video was what inspired me to get one.
I’m probably going Tekin with the Motor/ ESC combo. Holmes Hobbies is an extremely close second.
Nice a kit, but all the development with the hobby still the only company that had a stab at no horrible steering servo either on the chassis, sort of acceptable but servo on the axle I really dislike and Capo's cable steering was out there but works, takes a bit to set up and needs regular maintenance but come on out there do something NOW, it would be such a HOT sales point and would get me putting my hand in my pocket more often.
I was disappointed with the Ryft. Sold it and bought the Corally radix 4. It’s £150 cheaper, miles better made and loads more fun to drive. 👍👍👍
Too bad it’s ugly
Oh, I have also noticed they have not included the pivot balls for the 2nd slot at the bottom of the front suspensions. And for the colour scheme, I think it will look very cool and different if you dye the cage to Ironman metallic red and the body panels to matt gold, just a suggestion.
Yes! I noticed that during the build but forgot to mention it. Oddly enough the screws were included for the pivot balls.
Axial rocks properly ;)

The manual calls for the Spektrum SX107 which comes with the spline adapter. Or Reefs RC has a good micro servo that I believe can be adapted.

RCDriver_Online thanks for the feed back man! I may just throw a nice sensored castle system in it and have some fun with the 2 speed function! 🍻🍻
Why not try that new castle copper head esc with a holms puller pro. That's what I think I'm gonna go for. Great vid man so excited about this one!😀😀😀
the first one! Thankyou
Got
Mine
Would look great black chassis with outlined drivers , leave clear panels with multi color leds. Color changing while driving.
can this rig for stone smooth crawler?
sorry bad english heheheh
Great video, This thing looks awesome. The only this the bothers me is the servo on the axel. Just the look of it. When i get it, im going to figure out how to hide it more.

How about axial green as a color

I like this and wanna get it it will be my first 10 scale I have a 24 scale scx
Blue
RED BLACK SILVER
Were can i get me 1 for a nice price???
must have one :D
I haven't seen a Yellow one yet.
You should paint it a dark blue
Hope he shows him using the car on a track of sum
Gun metal gray
Green cage bright metallic blue body

The internal diff gears are tight. Not the ring and pinion or driveline. The main driveline spins free.
