Great review and test 👌. I really appreciate you putting the time in. It saves us alot of wondering what if.

I like you trying different things to dial in the rig! It's a Rock Racer with a bunch of Power!! It reminds me allot of my Daughters Redcat Windigo!! That rig is a blast! I noticed comments about changing this rig to a crawler, but this is NOT what it is! You want a crawler Buy a crawler!!! This thing looks like a blast to drive and bash around on rocks and hills. Tune it, add a sway bar and rip it!! Stay safe and bash on from Colorado!!!

Right on man, it won't be a good crawler at all until we get the low 1st gear option to put into it. Then it will get better.

Like crawling than speed, idk...new to this ,I do like crawling though...thank you for all demo,illustrations views 👍☕️☕️✌️also I might add I'll be shopping around and make my decision, I'm flavorings your setup but with 4ws

Awesome videos my friend!

Very nice review. Thank you

Not really a crawler guy, more of a racer/basher but i sure love your videos my friend! Great job!

That update actually made a huge difference for mine. I have it in my VS410 pro.

Nice work looks good 👍

Totally awesome ❤

Great stuff 👍🏽

jsut put this combo in my TRX4 2021 Bronco. happy with it so far. smooth and fast kinda want a ryft

Great infor for Ryft. I would like to try it as you did👍

Very nice 😊😊😊👍

Gotta love homework. 😂 great video! 💯

I have the V1 3300kv AXE in my Predator Gen 8! After watching the video, I would say it is better in a crawler!

Those things drive right out the box. Jk we opened one up at our local hobby shop and its electronics come pre junked.

Wish there was a roller to start out with get the price point down a little bit nice job keeping up with tune in👍

About to build a Ryft Kit. It will be a true scale rock bouncer but it would be nice to have sensored low speed ability still. The castle whine drives my absolutely nuts lol. Thoughts on others? Hobbywing XR8?

Oh man, I had high hopes for this on the rocks. I have that 3300kv R2 ready and waiting. Maybe instead of the Rift for the crawl/rock racer/basher all-rounder I should steer back toward the Bomber!

I went through everything I saw. The acceleration rate was at 9.

I have been runnung the v1.1 3300 kv Axe in my ryft for a while now with a 13 tooth and yeah its a bit soft and wondering if a bit of timing in it might help?

Turn the throttle increase rate up to 9 and it'll be alot snappier. I've got this system in my cen f450, and that is also not geared for crawling but I'm working on that. But I still love the axe system in it. But if you want that punch try turning it up a bit I'd even try bumping the timing up, (I havnt had any heat issues by turning mine up) only takes a min to try it.

And is this combo still good? Sry for all messages 😊

Holmes puller pro r 4100kv on 3s in my trx6 killed my mamba x esc. Monster x had no issue with it. It drew 150+ amps. . It has a lot more drag brake than the standards I run in my trx6 (now) and Capra. Once I got a proper truck to bash (erevo 2.0) I decided to mellow out the trx6 with a 3500kv puller pro. The 4100 was nearly as smooth as the standards, but has about 50% more power (1800 watts vs 1200 all else equal). . If you have the gear reduction, the 4100kv 3s system has more rpm so you can get more control with the same wheel speed. Or run the 2100kv one on 6s since it’s a little more rpm than the 4100 on 3s. . That’s the motor I thought of for this to be honest. But you need a better gear ratio. Like a 10th pinion. It wasn’t too happy with taller gearing since the motor draws current so easily it just unloads (builds torque quickly with little throttle input)

I have my Capra setup for 20mph on 4s running a mamba x puller pro 2700kv. It crawls very well. I use the max power adjustment and auto drag brake 100% to adjust my wheel speed on my controller. . Math says you’ve gone from 42mph to 39mph. You’d need a 9tooth pinion to reach 25mph. . Holmes says gear down and volt up. You get more crawl control running a higher voltage and lower gearing for the same mph. I can get 30mph with 6s on my Capra, but it’s just way too much. I mostly use 15mph 3s.
