Its' great to see the shop with an online presence, BC shaver has been a fixture it Vic for so long! Good idea for a shootout, thanks for the effort of putting this video together. I have the DB Pro (very similar to the lazernut) and am really impressed with the handling and durability.

Thank you for the review. I was thinking about the Ryft, but now I am thinking more about the Lasernut. Excellent photography, great job!

Thanks! I definitely agree with that choice - the Ryft is very capable on the rocks, but it's just too fast for its own good. The Lasernut is a much better all-around vehicle out of the box.

This is a well put together video. Good job. Wouldn't mind seeing a similar format comparing the Lasernut and the Rustler Ulimate or VXL. 👍

Great job Micheal! Keep up the great work!

Another great review by the best hobby shop

Both look super fun! Great vid

Great video on both vehicles. The best way I've found to limit the twisting under hard acceleration on the Ryft is to put another set of shockies in the rear. The bolt holes are already there so it's a symbol installation

excellent video thanks I never seen these vehicles compared side-by-side both of them are awesome

Great video, very good comparison.

You should do another comparison after upgrades, maybe give the ryft a sway bar and do something tasteful to the losi and put them both on 4s and do it again in the gravel

Compliment! really good very professional video! thanks for that

If you run the Lasernut on 3s you're supposed to switch the pinion to the 14t included with it. 12t pinion comes installed from the factory. Makes a big difference.

You can adjust the brake rate on the esc programming.

Hello, Nice vidéo. Very nice spot 🤘 What's the best for smooth run finaly ?

What if you turned the shokies around and put weights in the wheels on the Ryft? Do you think that would give it moor stability?

Great video bro. New subscriber here

Mine is really top heavy and wants to flip if turning even at lower speeds. The “550” size motor seems really skinny and long but maybe it’s just the size of the thing that makes it seem that way. The body is cool but I wish it would lock up. Maybe it does and I just haven’t figured it out yet. My option for what it’s worth. I love the light bars because after work when I usually get time to break it out it’s dark so that’s cool.

So I bought an Axial Bomber 2.0 last summer but just started driving it couple months ago after slowly upgrading parts on it(Incision links, aluminum rear trailing arms, additional piggyback rear shocks, Currie sway bar and a cool aluminum bead lock wheels) After all that I thing I'm very disappointed in it, it looks cool though but not fast. I think I have to upgrade to brushless for it. I can take it crawling along with my TRX-4 Defender in my channel here but it won't keep up with my Arrma Senton. So my question is...should I keep the Bomber and spend more upgrading it or sell it and get the Lasernut. I like the buggy style and independent suspensions, the Ryft doesn't appeal to me that much it's what the Bomber should have been. Thanks let me know what you think.

@bchobbies

3 жыл бұрын

If you're planning on driving it fast, I would get the Lasernut. I haven't driven a brushless Bomber, but it seems to me like it would drive a lot like the Ryft, since it has live-axle suspension and a relatively high center of gravity. There isn't really any good way to make a live-axle vehicle handle well at speed - that's what independent suspension is for. The Lasernut has a lower center of gravity (and sway bars), is a breeze to drive at high speed, and still has enough articulation to keep up with most crawlers. The braking issue can be fixed by changing the ESC settings. (According to the manual, it's only set to 25% from the factory.) It's up to you, of course, but it sounds like the Lasernut is closer to what you want than a further upgraded Bomber. Just my 2 cents. :)

Both the TT Pro and the Lasernut are based on the same platform, and use most of the same internal parts. Driving performance between them should be very similar. Which one you get will mostly depend on whether you prefer the look of a short course truck or an open-wheel buggy.

​Lol old comment but they drive so so different. The TT is a racer, is very planted great on a track. The Lasernut sits higher and will traction roll and doesn't handle as well as the TT coz it's made for a different application.

The breaks are incredibly easy to adjust. From factory it has 25% power, one level up you get 50% which is already way more then needed. I actually wish this thing had a 35%-40% ration. In any case, reviewer, do a propper job and RTFM next time, it's on page 3.

In a way, they are, but there's definitely some overlap. I'd say they're more like two different approaches to the same end goal, a vehicle that's fast but can also crawl. The Lasernut definitely leans more towards the speed end of that spectrum, though, while the Ryft is more optimized for crawling.

I feel this isn't very accurate as I have seen and rode in the 1-1 lazernut and went to a bouncer race the rift is supposed to go up steep hills with a lot of speed while the lazernut is built to crawl and go fast on the more flat areas if you want to see this stuff in person the lazernut races at the king of the hammers it is a big event with many races and is a good deal of fun

I'm guessing the R/C Lasernut differs a bit from the real thing because it's based on Losi's existing Tenacity buggy platform. It wouldn't surprise me if it's better at going fast on the rocks (and worse at low-speed crawling) than its full-size counterpart.

After watching this video I now know why people are constantly bringing rc vehicles in for repairs and replacement parts.

That's how long it lasted for us, but to be fair, a lot of that time was spent crawling around on the rocks at relatively low speed. If you're bashing it at higher speeds, it won't last as long.

Hmm.. That Ryft must be from a later batch, since nothing seems to have broken, while other people broke the front axle on the slightest provocation.. And the omission of a swaybar makes the Ryft absolutely terrible at anything resembling speed. Booh, Axial! With a rear sway It becomes quite a bit more controllable. Also lowering the stance by placing ca. 1.5cm springs or tubing under the pistons helps immensely ,and doesn't really influence its exellent climbing ability.
