Can't wait to see the running video! Great video as always
That is the King of Ryfts!! Love that damn thing, great build right there!
Super helpful i got a rift kit never did a kit befor transmission was hardest part.thanx so much
awesome to see these upgrade videos!!
Awesome Joe!!
I can wait to install mine! It's on its way!
(Bounce&CRAWL) sounds like a test subject, almost has a challenging idea!
Literally got this gear set a couple days ago, just waiting on a servo and the time to put them in. This video will definitely make that go smoother.
Thanks for all you do man!
Awesome
This video helped me. Thank you!!!
Great video! Thank you
Parts in the Wind from Horizon, and I have a Vitavon Trans Housing on the way, as well as the Servo Guard.
In my experience it's best to keep the servo saver on shifting servos. It serves a purpose of preventing the servo from burning up if it doesn't shift correctly immediately. It also helps prevent things from getting jammed up during shifts.
Lucas red n tacky is what I like to use.
Nice!!!!!! Now i want one...
You always doing great rc work. I vote exocaged rc shop, I will support your store. Keep up the great work.👍🏿
Oddly enough, that may happen but in very limited supply. Only a few brands I trust.
Hell yeah man!!!!
I wonder if axial will do an updated 2-speed transmission for the 10 iii since they got a kit for the rift? Would be cool to have a faster high gear
I have the parts to do this mod but I think I will hold off for now. Maybe it has been addressed already but wouldn't a servo arm with a slot take the arcing movement out of the equation. So long as the screw could be solidly mounted onto the shift linkage from the trans. It could slide in the slot as needed.
You just don’t quit! This things turning into a monster!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!
I wanna do a ryft with brushless, the 2 speed and a dig setup.
Hey Buddy.
It's going to be tough crawling with that motor anyway regardless of gearing. I had that motor too....its an extremely powerful rock bouncer motor , not made for crawling. Try a Puller Pro R 540L or if it'll fit , a PP 4274S.
Nice work on the gear swap. Perfect grease too. I've been running White Lithium grease for probably 15 years now. The thick marine grease just shouldn't be used...way too many downsides for the scope of this response.
Awesome build anyway.
You have a great day.
Yeah man the torque on this motor is insane. As far as crawling goes, I’ll try it on the rocks but I feel it’s way more suited for a rock racing style driving, real bouncers don’t really get down and crawl and their gearing isn’t setup for that, in many ways just like this one is. I may try another motor at some point but I really like this beast motor I have in here.
I'm pretty new to RC's is there a circle already built in the rift for the low gearing or do I need to order one and also am I going to need a different transmitter than the one that comes with it to be shifting between and how does that work
You will notice no slop in the trans when running , only when not running and rolling the tires forward and reverse . This is the setup outboard motors have used for many decades.
how do you set the transmitter and receiver to shift?
I use the Lucas blue marine grease. I don’t get it all these hobby companies selling tiny containers of grease for as much as they do
Hello man.. Have you made any changes to the RYFT shocks on are they good as is. I mean like Capra needs droop etc.. keeping the nose down may be the biggest issue on what
I know you've been waiting on this kit!!!
Yep!!
I just built the kit version and I felt the instructions were pretty awful. Yes the pictures were mostly very good, but some WORDS would have been super helpful in a few areas. I ended up redoing a lot of stuff (like links, pillow balls, etc) due to unclear instructions.
What channel did you use on you gt5 radio?
Hi..what is the weight of this thing with the box? Coz first thing is the shipping cost..
Just ordered a vitavon mirror rear axle 208.00 ridiculous!!
Not cheap but very nice pieces
@@ExocagedRC I'm looking forward to it..lol
could be wrong but isn't servo arm upside down? It looks like it would have fit fine turned over, just a thought and another great video
It’s good and I think I had to heat and bend it for this.
Mine has twingling sound on my gear box
Dag-gummit Ive been trying to not buy a Ryft. The two speed kit may have just pushed my wallet over the edge. Lol My brother has one and its a pretty wild machine on 4s
This is pretty simple and not difficult to do. But why is axial is still making such skinny ass chassis rails?
How do I go about coming to the excoplex? Coming down that way in the fall would love to do some crawling. If its open to the public?
It’s open in the evenings when I’m home. I also post open days on the fb group.
THANKS BROTHER 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
I'm here for watching
Ryft 😍😍😍
canada hobbies has micro 99 in stock
This may sound weird but is there a boat out there with multi speed transmissions???
Honestly I don’t know. Most are either reduced or direct drive that I know of.
Please tell me there will be more of these axles coming out for sale soon i have a ryft and after watching your first video with the new axles ive been daily watching ebay with no luck and i just want to play with this ryft again
Yes, in fact if you’re in the US, send me an email at exocagedrc@yahoo.com
Dammit Joe I looking forward to seeing this baby run, I had this paused all day at work till I got off so I can watch it when I got home and you didn’t drive it........NNNNNOOOOOOO!!!! Put up the rip vid
up tomorrow morning
Exocaged RC looking forward to it
I'm looking at building a small crawling course in my back yard, I'm collecting old concrete and cinder blocks , I was wondering if you have any tips for course building
Yeah build it so it stays, that concrete is great. The rest is your own imagination, there aren’t many rules for what a crawler course should be, so get creative.
@@ExocagedRC the covid restrictions on the east coast of Canada are pretty tight so I need a close spot to test my rig and your videos of the exo plex are always an inspiration
So the 2 speed kit, will fit in factory trans?
yeah
Thx man... New subscriber here. What size pinion gear is used in the speed test?
17t stock pinion and welcome!!
@@ExocagedRC Thx :) So with a 11 tooth - there is actually a possibility to make it crawl with the 2 gear setup?
I noticed you commented about ring gear screws. I’m currently having issues with my wendigo seems the rear end ring and pinion gear screws loosened up and bound up the rear end and broke the pinion gear and driveshaft pinion now with that being said parts are out of stock! So no wendigo for a while 😞any suggestions?
Just search ebay for parts and pieces is all I can suggest
Put different axles on it 🤷♂️
I cant get my servo to power up. I'm stumped. Was really hoping get these kits installed. Dx3 remote & 6100at receiver
HI Jordan... guess you got it figured out long time ago, but you need to put the gear servo in the AUX 3 on the SR6100 since AUX 1 & 2 is reserved unless you disable stability controll completely
@@tbm-rc so I am about to do this install, and I will not need to program the 3rd channel for the shifter on the mini servo? just plugged into aux 3 will make the mini servo operational with the 3rd channel?
@@TheFuentesv Hi, i am running this with my DX5 Rugged, where i can adjust endpoints for ch3 - you have to look at page 5 of the SPEKTRUM DX3 USER GUIDE on how to set the 3point mode on ch3 for a DX3 radio. Start by doing it with the servo arm detached from the gearbox so you dont burn off the mini servo.
Pretty cool that Axial has considered the low gear option when releasing the RYFT back in January as the micro servo mount and gear case are prepared for this upgrade. I wish the 1st gear is a lot slower though. Maybe I will give this upgrade a miss, and just change the motor to the HobbyWing Fusion motor. Or do you think this is a bad idea? 🤔👍🏼
I tried the Axe 3300 and it didn’t work well at all. With this gear I may give it another try but I gotta say I like the power combo I have in this right now.
@@ExocagedRC that's great.. please try to swap your motor back to the original Spektrum motor and see if it is any good.. only if you have time of course. As I have the stock parts and I want to try the low gear installation.
Well, it will still be coggy. I did a video with the Lasernut where I changed only the esc and it helped out a bunch with less cogging.
@@ExocagedRC alright, thanks. I will see if it is worth getting the low speed gearing. Hopefully it won't be too expensive including the micro servo. 🤞🏼👍🏼
Does the servo come with it or do I need to order that servo separate I'm new to our scene just got the rift
You have to buy a servo as it does not come with it
@@ExocagedRC I just put on the vitavon axles and arms still waiting on the vitavon sway bar it was pretty hard for a first-timer but I figured it out I don't really use it for climbing do you think that I would benefit and using the second gear I just use it for ramping and climbing up hills
So are we going to see you put the Vitavon rear steer axle in your Ryft?
yep
Awesome, can’t wait to see that conversion! I do want to get a Ryft someday and fully bling it out with Vitavon upgrades, but I would rather hear it down and crawl, I can’t afford to be bashing and constantly breaking these cars…
I love "E" clips :(
MINE SHOW UP TODAY🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻!!! Where’d you get that custom wheel for your gt-5 radio?!?
Im pretty sure he prints them. Picked one up from Joe at USTE 2021.
Yep I print them
I need 3!! Are they for sale? I have a new set of 1.0 scramblers, we could do some trading
Having Differential Issues NOW, Call Me Don Quixote and the GRYFT is my Windmill. At this point It's on me I keep throwing Money Down this Hole. The RTR has been a Nightmare, and why I cancelled All my Axial Builds in 2021. Why I won't be attending Axialfest, which I was really looking forward to. Spektrum has entered my Vocabulary as a New Pejorative for Crappy RC equipment.
I’m hoping to get some nice diff gears, I’m trying with a couple guys I deal with to get some made. I doubt it will be quick though
Is the first gear the same as normal?
Plz tell me big bro！
normal is high gear
Did you put longer screws in you diffs?
Actually no, I didn’t have the right size when I did the work on them.
@@ExocagedRC I took your advise and went to 12mm long bolts. It gives me a little more piece of mind vs the stock bolts. Thanks for the tip and all of the other information you provide in your videos.
How slow can it go??And how much does the drivetrain slop effect the driving in low gear? Looking forward to the real world test
We will find out soon enough.
Had the 2-speed for about a week now, removed it after 2 packs.
The slop and corresponding noise was just too annoying.
Speed is about half of high gear.
I wish there was aftermarket support for wendigo like this 😒
are you a big show actor on smackdown..? very similar to him.
LoL I wish I had talent like that!
Aww no driving 😢🥺
😁 sweet video tho
I have that tractor now but gotta get power out there. When that happens I’ll work on lights. Once I get that then maybe some night events can happen.
Do u make rc crawler builds, if so I'm interested
I’ve built a few for others but it has to be all brand new stuff and I’m not cheap. No used basket cases.
@@ExocagedRC i have trx4 blazer w/ hobbling 1080 escape holmeshobbies crawlmaster sport 13t and holmeshobbies trail master sport 21t. Recommended from your later videos. A few brass upgrades, different locking spools, savox 1211, lights, roof rack, many different tires, shocks, aftermarket bumpers etc. This trail truck is my baby. I ran it 2day actually. I've owned for 2 years now. I would like you to test my setup how it is, then maybe Recommend changes that I can pay for plus your service fees. Plus I would love 2 see my rc on your channel.😁👍🏿. I'm serious and I know I have to pay shipping. Let me know if you will accept. Trx4 is in great condition only damage is the body and is minimal cracks and scraps. I'd like to keep it a trail truck but with the most crawling ability possible. I got faith in you exocaged rc. If your not interested, I understand, I will still like, and comment on videos👋🏿🤙🏿🙏🏿
@@ExocagedRC I meant hobbywing 1080 esc
That's a bad sumbitch. Man, I want one of these guys bad
With so much on 'Back order' these days RC crawlers seem to be the only practical bet due to their NOT chronically breaking parts. Do you think the Ryft will both perform and NOT chronically break after $1500 in upgrades have been installed? The Ryft reminds me of the RC4WD Carbon Assault monster truck. Lots of 'show' with unsatisfactory 'go' for your money.
My buddy has a stock Ryft and he beats on it like I do mine and other than rod ends it’s holding up really well. No axle housing breakage either. I also have a Carbon Assault and yeah the Ryft is way better than that. LoL. I’ve got the CA working very well but the cost of it was just too much.
@@ExocagedRC I honestly was really excited when I first saw the Ryft. but I'm not going to pay $500+ and instantly need to replace the motor and/or axle housings just to drive the car the way it was intended to be driven or in a way that doesn't chronically invite breakage. You youtube 'Influencers' certainly help separate the wheat from the chaff for us devotees NOT subsidized by monetized content. Thank you!
@@douglaselliott8298 the latest version has the updated axles..
@@mickd8188 That is to Axial's credit if they do prove more reliable. All of the beta testers should rightfully be sent a pair of the updated axle housings gratis IMO.
😂
All that slop is a total fail. Bad design. Boo Horizon!
