I'm just entering the hobby and buying my first vehicle. As an engineer, I appreciate your frankness and fair evaluation. I guess you could call your explanation: "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" (although not much ugly with Ryft so far). I have been debating (myself) between the LaserNut, Ryft and maybe Bomber. Right now the Ryft gets the nod. Looking forward to the grandsons visit soon and hours of fun with him. Keep up the good work. I look forward to your evaluation after a field test. THANKS.

I wish people looked at me the way I know Joe was looking at that transmission. 😍😍😍

@@ExocagedRC should be. I saw one in person today. A local small hobby shop brought some to an open crawl. I like it, but don’t get it that all the drive line is on one side. Offsetting it might have reduced the torque twist. I hope someone makes a high travel IFS for the front.

I have watched just about every Ryft video on you tube. And in my opinion this has been the best one I have seen keep up the good work. 👍

Nice review, I finally got an electric Axial Bomber and it’s a blast. I forgot how convenient plug and play was compared to all my nitro’s lol.

This looks a lot like the Gmade GOM :). I like the looks of the GMade better though. Great video once again

Yeah got mine the day that dropped already having diff problems in the rear but badass other than that

Yes yes, finally... look forward to your video more then getting mine... oh 3300kv axe, swaybay, raw500, earplugs in the diffs...

Just funny to me it has those disk rotors. Bouncers mostly use axle mounted brakes like monster trucks. Would be better if they just didn’t put anything there. And after seeing those chunky lmt axles break, those tiny skinny ones here don’t give much hope

Very nice video mate, good teardown to show everything beneath. You going to link your Ryft with the Spektrum DX5 Rugged? That's what I'm doing at the moment, I have the Ryft in black. In UK we don't have the Orange Ryft as yet. I saw your other video of the aluminium front axle, can't wait to get my hands on them also, knowing so many axles have been broken by other RC fellows already. 😊👍🏼

Great 👍👍👍~😊😊😊

After researching Spektrum radios and watching several reviews for the Rugged that look like soft hostage videos, I discovered the brand new 2021 RTR RYFT comes with a discontinued Radio.

My problem with them is monopolizing the industry. There buying up all the brands and making it all the same. The quality is going down and and down. It comes across in the videos even. Are they making some cool stuff sure is it quality......well that's debatable. Sbr 2.0 looks awesome but somehow missed the whole car folding in half right out of the box. Not to mention the assembly. Then we get this ryft with the front end crashing all over itself right out of the box. Just because they keep putting the axial name on it dosen't mean its still axial....or what ever other brands they have already scooped up. It would be like one of the major car manufacturers buying up all the rest and building them all the same and putting different badges on them and calling them different. Sadly were seeing it across all types of industries......the MONOPOLIZING of everything! That really only hurts us the end users just to put more money in there already big pockets. Sad it is!
