AXIAL RYFT QUICK DETAILS Product: Axial Racing RBX10 Ryft Rock Bouncer Distributed By: Horizon Hobby Kit Type: RTR 1/10 Electric 4WD Rock Bouncer Part Number: AXI03005T1, AXI03005T2 Price: $499.99 Available Here: Orange- snp.link/4f2addf7 Black- snp.link/948891b4 Visit Horizon Hobby/ Axial Here: bit.ly/3kLXdaU OVERVIEW: Brutal power, lots of suspension travel and a mean look sum up the all new Axial Racing RBX10 Ryft Rock Bouncer. This ready to run features a realistic rock bouncer cage and body work. Under the hood, the all metal driveline is built to hold up to the Spektrum Brushless system. On the rocks and dirt, this rig is a wild driving experience. It's capable of crawling well, spits up rocks and dirt and with its power can launch off of rocks. Just be careful driving it in the cold. NOTE: This post contains affiliate links.
Be proud of it, we know your putting it through its paces none of that “sponsored shenanigans” where no matter what it’s the greatest! Still a neat machine ! Glad to see a honest drive of it !
Stumble upon your channel searching axial ryft previews, and impressed with your presentation and content. Will be watching more for sure. Thumbs up mate
I absolutely love how you found a perfect location to shoot some running footage of this rock bouncer. As for the vehicle itself, I'm not sure the driving experience is for me out of the box. It seemed to roll and cog a fair bit. I'm not sure how fun it would be hiking the trails between the cool climbing / bouncing lines. I do like the concept of trying, trying, trying, and finally nailing a tough line though. The three differentials is an interesting choice. It certainly offers a lot of tunability and versatility.
The location is New England (CT) it's pretty much like that everywhere. I think Greg visits that NW hill a lot which is arguably the best our state has to offer. New England as a whole is one of the most diverse and beautiful areas of the country. (You can be at ocean or in mountains less than an hour drive.) Very European feeling regarding roads and property layouts etc. The area was heavily populated and being developed (Compared to the rest of North America) during the 1600's forward so we have a "non grid like" Indian paths that became wagon trails that became winding roads type of layout here. Densely populated on paper, but feels like you are uncrowded and rural at the same time. You can be 10 minutes outside of downtown in a 1.3 million city (Hartford) and be in the woods with deer, fox, turkeys and coyote in your backyard/woods. Very unique area of the country.
@@dirtrider88 The Hartford metropolitan area is 1.3 million people. That's how most cities are listed. NYC doesn't have 19 million people in the 5 borough city limits, nor does L.A. have 12 million people etc. FYI: Hartford city limits are one of the smallest in the nation, the city is only 17 sq miles. TINY land mass. Most cities of our metro sized are the size of Hartford, West Hartford, Farmington, Wethersfield, Glastonbury, East Hartford, Windsor and Bloomfield combined. It causes a lot of statistics to be skewed such as crime rates etc.
Great review & run Greg I'm pulling the trigger on the black one axial killed it again, I already have some upgrades laying around metal trailing arms, scale V8 engine over the battery, servo and rear sway bar, hey Axial a rear stear kit would be awesome!!!
I hope they come out with a builders kit I’m a fan of my own electronics even if I get this witch I’m thinking I need it but I will just take the electronics out and put in a sensored Holmes setup
same. I want a Reef's serv and a Holmes Sensored motor.... if the builders kit is 350-400, Id still spend 600-700 building it but at least the electronics will never break! The drivetrain seems beefy enough to handle whatever you want to throw at it..
I’ve got the same hesitation between the lasernut and the Ryft. The question I’m asking myself is, what about the speed on dirt road in the Forest ? My son have the Baja rey Ford raptor and i want to go with him with a truck wich can do almost the same thing on roads, and off road, a little more fun... I don’t know witch one to choose. Help me. Please.
Love the look of that- i watch a fair bit of the Southern Rock Racing, and most do have lights. They quite regularly have night runs. For 500 it really should come with built in lights. Be good to see one of the manufacturers doing a collaboration with Tim Cameron, Bobby Tanner, Wes Kean or one of the other top rock racers. They all have vehicles which are the dogs nutz, all one off and unique designs which would make brilliant scale models!! Not a fan of the fake disc brakes, the money would be better spent on lights in my opinion. Your comments about veering off hitting stuff is pure scale realism!
Keep lipos warm with Womens pantie hose, 3 layers will help alot! Put lipo in the foot ,leave 3" and cut. leftover pantie knot the end and repeat the foot cut! Full runs full power!plastic doesn't like below 40 degress. That thing is wild. I been watching alot of the full size rock bouncer videos. Can't get much closer.
Newbie here. Sway bar pn? I ordered this vehicle last weekend and seen more vids. The torque twist seems to be the main problem with stability of this vehicle. A sway bar would help, yes? Being a fan of crawling..a rear steering kit would truly be an exciting upgrade. This will be the 2nd time I purchased a vehicle so close to its release date. I hope It's not like my ( LaserNOT). Over 200 on parts just to realize that they forgot to install a spacer/washer in the dif. Newbie mistake so I'll take 50% of the blame. Only drove it like 5 times. As of currently I've been waiting for a screw set for about a month now because they used a 3m x 45 button head with NO shoulder. Never again losi... never again. ON THE UPSIDE!! I truly LOVE my Axial Capra. Like my friend said, " If I get into a different kind of car, the axial ryft would be it and my friend John sent me the vid and wants one too. He doesn't even do rc. Lol. But your Axial Capra is built like a brick $hithouse." So I agree with his comment. Parts will break, that's why they're hobbies, not toys. I'll remain confident with Axial. Love your vids. You've been quite informative. Best to you and yours. DO IT IN THE DIRT. LOL
Great review thank you. AXIAL, I WOULD like to see steering on the back too. I'm 75% committed to buying this. Rear steering capable... 100%. Looks awesome!
With all the noise this rig makes, they should have installed a v8 sound kit some how!!! Also some leds. Thank you for the sneak peak!! Have a great day !!!
Axial killed it....accept for the lack of rear steer. All real rock bouncers that I'm aware of have it. Common Axial, give us a rear steer kit! My orange one is on order.
@@erniegasbarino7658 I agree! I just found a company who makes one but they sell for $325. Looks exactly like what I'm looking for but no one has reviewed their car lol. spyderoffroad.com/collections/remote-control-srrs-rock-bouncers
I thought the orange one was sexy for sure...frustrating fun. Hmmm maybe it will be more fun if it's just a dirt hill climber or something like that. Bunch of guys in our hobby group did that last weekend with snow on the ground this might have done well with some decent size wheels and tires. Or even stock.
Think it would do well with shocks with half the travel. sit lower, or just sit with much more droop. like 35mm lower. I'm not a fan of forward facing servo on axle... but it looks like a lot of fun, very close. not sure I have the space in the stable right now. if my workbench wasn't full... hrmm might be time for a sale.
@@rcdriver axial should offer those tires and wheels as a pre glued set of 4. I wonder if I can cut my scx24's boggers with that pattern? I also think a trail truck build with that drivetrain would be cool, I like 14 bolt axles. Anyways, good review on a really cool rc 🤘
What I really liked about the Wraith, that I haven't seen on any other rig, were full bucket seats with floor boards, just a bit more realistic and I can put my own figures in. : ) But this look like a well built truck.
Out of the box the handling was poor at higher speeds. On asphalt, out of the box, it wagged all over the place. I turned the AVC all the way down (will disable later) and I remounted the back shocks directly onto the rear axle to cut down on the torque twist. Now it 's like a rocket. I still get the one front wheel riding off the ground when I give it full throttle on grass and it rolls fairly easily but a lot of that could be me. I just started with the RC crawlers and bouncers. It is a lot of fun, I get a good 25 minutes out of a regular 4S 50C 5000 mah battery when I'm hitting it pretty hard. I might try some of my old 3S batteries to see how they do.
As far as 4 wheel steer goes, a bomber or yeti ar60 axle will likely work, they are universal left or right. And like on the bomber it runs trailing arms already so it will be easy to convert
Awsome to see new rigs added to Axials lineup. How about a kit version with upgrades Axial? Don't forget us builders who probably won't ever buy a RTR. Great review! Looks like it needs locked diffs for sure though!
So the transmission needs a locker and both axles need lockers total of 3 lockers and a sensored brushless motor then it would be able to compete with a bomber or a Wraith
It's interesting that they chose to use spider gears in the diffs instead of lockers/spools. I like the switch and especially the battery tray. I've been very satisfied with the 130A ESC in my Lasernut, Rock Rey, and Tenacity TT Pro. While I wouldn't choose it for a DIY build, neither have I felt the need to replace it/them. I'm sure I'll be picking one of these up! 👍
I feel like the steering rod on the front is going to be the first thing to ben or break. It's the first thing that will hit a rock. Kind of pointless having a metal differential cover on the front. Idk I'm pretty new to the rc world but that was my first thought when I saw it.
Fantastic detailed review as always! Quite new to the scene so this kind of vehicle seems quite niche to me but nice to see that there are options for everyone. For me it would be more fun to do that 40 minute walk with a crawler and then still tackle those rocks but with a more surgical manor. Was surprised that even just the rear diff wasn't locked from factory but maybe that replicates real life??
Lol I am so far behind the times. Still have an Scx10.1 and Wraith Spawn. I didnt even know all these other newer models were out until I recently got back into the hobby.
Interesting, I have an Axial RR10 which I haven't really used as much as I had planned (life/child gets in the way). This looks to have a lot more suspension travel. I bought the kit version of the RR10 so all metal gears and suspenion parts/extra metal bracing. Love it when I do get to drive it and I must have it geared quite low plus only running on 2S, don't remember the KV of the motor I used (maybe 3200), still fast enough to have fun yet I can just crawl it over rocks with barely any wheel spin. I get something like a 20min run time even running flat out on grassy but steep terrain. My first steering servo stripped out straight away; bought a good metal geared one and never had a problem since.
I was just about to order a gmade r1 rock bouncer from great hobbies. Now that I see this I may reconsider. One plus about the gmade is that there is a full option kit for rws. Plus I want a kit version. Decisions decisions...
I definitely would like to see a rear steer kit When I first heard about this vehicle before I saw it I was positive it would have rear steer But I was disappointed to find out it does not

Nice thorough review Greg! Thanks for showing us some action on the hills!
Thanks Mathew!! It was a 45 minute hike to get to that spot. My workout for the month is complete.
Been waiting for a bouncer for years especially with a plastic cage to beat on. Excellent review as always can’t wait till it’s out thank you!
Big YES for a rear steer set..!!!
I just got like 6 notifications on this! I love it! Your making me wanna get it more. My $25 bank account won’t like this. Lol.
It’s the hot topic 🤣
You gotta use that stimmy check !
In the words of my brother, F*** IT!
So they really call it the axial belch
Be proud of it, we know your putting it through its paces none of that “sponsored shenanigans” where no matter what it’s the greatest! Still a neat machine !
Glad to see a honest drive of it !
I love how u give a great close look at a new product and then the second half of ur vid to a running vid. New work shop looks great!
Thank you for driving it hard. I am glad you showed us the broken axle segment.
Thanks! I do my best to drive them hard to uncover anything I can pass along.
Axial is a great company; My SCX24 Axial Betty is a a lot of fun; It’s what inspired me to start my RC channel.
Look at what this thing crawls with open diffs!!! Pretty darn impressive !
Nice job Axial
That's what I'm talking about! A proper rock bouncer!!
This thing looks like it would be a ton of fun just to bash with
Hahaha “… I was the first to do it…”
Men, for sure you need to be proud, it’s what make us feel so good with this kind of trucks.
Can’t go wrong with a rear steer option
The rear wheels steer on this??
Yes I want a rear wheel steering option! Please Axial!
awsome reveiw like every time , great work again and again !!! :)
Kind of weird they put a sensorless system on it. For a bouncer I'd prefer more precision in the slower speeds.
thats not a rock bouncer. that's a rock crawler. a rock bouncer does not go slow, ever.
Looks good, Greg!
Thank you Rich!

New shop looks so great! Great vid as always!
Sweet video bud i just bought one because your video was that good
Good looking car! Thanks for the review Greg
They did a great job on this rig. 😎
Needs lockers! Or at least in the rear. Just my opinion, still a sweet ride though and I’ll probably have one 😎
Several other reviewers are stating that there will be optional lockers.
I was watching this and was just like wait this thing doesn’t have lockers
@@Jimmy2Horses yeah I’ve since seen this information as well, I’ll be getting the spools for mine
Easy fix, silicon ear plugs in the diffs.
Spools are avalibe for this. $9.45 ish.got bouncer and spools on order as i type. A second $500 plust truck. İm out of my mind!
I hope they come out with a builders kit I’m a fan of my own electronics even if I get this witch I’m thinking I need it but I will just take the electronics out and put in a sensored Holmes setup
I’m sure Axial is reading these comments. Fingers crossed!

100% on the castle/Holmes sensored setup
A rc like this I can’t imagine there not being a kit.
Right that’s what I’m thinking, I did see that there is a third color option and rumors are it’s the kit
Locker and steer in back with anti roll bar FTW. Great reviewGreg. I already ordered mine!
It would be cool if there was a builders kit for this. Awesome video Greg!👍
Are the builders kits difficult to out together.? I see them alot, but it seems like alot of work
VERY NICEEEEEEE! Was wondering who would pop one of these out next. Good one.
I have been looking at the Lazernut but too many issues. This rig looks like my next purchase!
I’ve got the same hesitation between the lasernut and the Ryft. The question I’m asking myself is, what about the speed on dirt road in the Forest ? My son have the Baja rey Ford raptor and i want to go with him with a truck wich can do almost the same thing on roads, and off road, a little more fun...

Help me. Please.
That running video is awesome!
Phew! Thanks. I wanted to give you guys more, but I lost a ton of video because the camera kept getting covered in mud and I didn’t catch it.
WE WANT THE REAR STEER
love your videos from France !!!
"I was the first to do it." I love that statement

I’m just showing you things 🤣
Hey Greg great job on your mancave! Came out really nice! Must feel nice sitting back in there looking at all your hard work! 👍👍🍻
Love how this thing looks 😍😍
Any clues on what the top speed on 4s would be?
Waiting on delevery... Well to come in stock at my LHS. Got a orange one, and front and rear spools on order.
Yes. Get rear steer. I did that with the scx24
Just pre-ordered one. Can't wait to try it out.
Cool, have fun when it arrives!!
Think it would do well with shocks with half the travel.
sit lower, or just sit with much more droop.
like 35mm lower.
I'm not a fan of forward facing servo on axle...
but it looks like a lot of fun, very close.
not sure I have the space in the stable right now.
if my workbench wasn't full...
hrmm might be time for a sale.
Just wanted to say the RC sailors mentioned you in their axial rift video and they wanted their fans to tell you hi and check out your video too
Thanks for sharing!
The orange cage with the black panels would look sick
That would be sick!!
Getting one for sure
Awesome rig. What is covered in the 2 year warranty???
Forget rock bouncing,,this looks like a great basher, jumping, rooster tails, maybe wheelies etc...
Thanks for the honest review
Open axle diffs on a rock bouncer? That’s an interesting choice. I think I’d like rear axle locked instead of rear steer option.
They will have option spools you can install. They felt the diff setup would be drive-able for bashers.
I would just put silicone earbuds in the diffs so it can still give on the impacts
Yes definitely would like rear steer
Those tires are f'n awesome, I needs them. Y'all have a badass day 🤘
They’re pretty awesome. You can hear them really gripping at the second half of the action segment.
@@rcdriver axial should offer those tires and wheels as a pre glued set of 4. I wonder if I can cut my scx24's boggers with that pattern? I also think a trail truck build with that drivetrain would be cool, I like 14 bolt axles. Anyways, good review on a really cool rc 🤘
Looks awesome, just needs to come as a kit.
What I really liked about the Wraith, that I haven't seen on any other rig, were full bucket seats with floor boards, just a bit more realistic and I can put my own figures in. : ) But this look like a well built truck.

A spool is on the option parts list. I’ll be ordering at least 1. 😁
Awesome rig they definitely put some great ideas into it 4s torque twist is crazy but definitely wicked
Good lord. This thing is sick
Looks like it would really benefit from a sensored motor and esc. The low speed performance wasn't great.
awesome review..... yeah, really can use some thicker lube in the diffs.....
Hopefully a kit comes out soon. TAKE MY MONEY!

They will have a spool available for it. They went with diffs because they felt it would fit the general user/ basher better.
I want to see rear steer options for all current axial vehicles
Lol I am so far behind the times. Still have an Scx10.1 and Wraith Spawn. I didnt even know all these other newer models were out until I recently got back into the hobby.
Welcome back! Lots of cool stuff hitting the shelves lately.
I agree, lots of cool stuff I can't afford lol
Should have kept ar60 axles and updated them, but other than that it looks awesome.
What bouncer doesent have rear steer!? We need rear steer!!! Other than that i want one!
This will be my next just ordered the losi Lasernut can't wait 1/29/2021
