So jealous. I am out driving all by myself. I want and need this kind of community. Looks like a wholesome and including community full of fun and enjoyment 👌🤩
So it's good for nothing ultimately. Rock bouncing is just uncontrolled crawling . I can see this RC car being discontinued soon. Who wants to replace practically everything to have a functioning RC car ? Yes upgrades are a great part of the hobby but for a rig of this price I expect better out of the box. In my eyes it's practically useless apart from watching it writhe about uncontrollably off every jump.
You've put a lot of time, money and effort into this truck Kev. So it's good that it runs well, how you like it. I'm not sure how many other people out there would be as determined/patient when trying to make the truck better. Anyhoo, looking forward to seeing it run with 6s.
For some people that is part of the hobby. More of the engineering side of it. It’s all personal though which is what’s Great about this hobby nothing is correct nothing is wrong you just do what you like
So I just roughly totalled up the cost of the Ryft and all the current parts Kev has fitted to it (from my understanding) The total comes to at least $1,732, this is of course not including the previous upgrades Kev has fitted and broken/removed over time. So we're easily looking at over $2k to get it to this point. It's depressing thinking about it really, to any sane person this is lunacy, but we all know Kev is not sane which is why this monstrosity exists. You could easily afford a fully kitted out X-maxx and still have some change left over. All in the name of entertainment and "science" :D you nutter Kev. Love your content :)
Taking something and making it better is the whole point. Sorry Kevin, I got stuck reading the comments. In my RC world you must find the weak link and make it stronger and insanely overpowered 😎! Your approach to the hobby is what I've been practicing with all my toys since the 1950's. Build it, bash it, build it better and enjoy life 😆! Nothing like the smell of a smoked motor in the morning 😂! SIMPLY EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A friend of mine put a huge brushless motor in his home made rock crawler back before there were crawler kits. I literally fell down laughing and almost wet myself. It could flip itself over with even moving forward. Left ruts in our track. It was insane! Good times.
If you use the aux wire and program full drag brake in low gear. It will crawl heaps better. Low end resolution is goes up with more drag brake in the castle esc's
I still think this is one of the most pointless RCs ever made and not in a good way like some stupid RCs are. I'd rather have a Summit TBH even if they can't handle a super powerful brushless. Still a better all rounder.
Omg on 6s that things gonna absolutely rip!!! I do want an Axial Ryft but it’s not at the top of my list yet. That thing sure looks like it can take a proper beating now! 👊👊👍👍
I built mine as soon as the Ryft kit came out, with all the Treal upgrades. Installed a Hobbywing XR8 Plus 2250kv motor & ESC combo and run it on 6S (2 x Gens Ace 3S 4300mah LiPo). I made almost the exact same modifications that Kev did to get the 1/8 scale motor to fit. 2nd gear on 6S is completely insane. Totally worth it :)
Really been interested in the Ryft for a while now. With all the upgrades available and this vid, that might have sealed the deal. Good to see you uploading Kev
I don't have one, but someone in my club does. I have had a vaterra twin hammers for ~5 years now, which is a very similar rig. In my opinion, horizon really screwed up with this truck, they were selling a much better RTR truck years ago with the twin hammers that didn't need this level of modification just to be runnable. That being said, the combo crawler/basher is seriously fun to drive. They definitely aren't the best at anything, you can easily get better performance with 2 separate trucks, but having 1 truck that does both reasonably well is tons of fun to take out hiking. I don't know if it's necessary to go quite as ham as kevin did, but the guy in my club only ran his on the stock motor once before upgrading to brushless. I don't remember what he is running, but he had the exact same problem with cogging and ditched the stock motor right away.
The sensor is for something called vector control. Knowing where the rotor in the motor is allows the controller to more accurately place the rotating field in the stator windings. In the industrial world we have the same thing. Allows for a MASSIVE amount of torque at low speeds. There is also something on the middle ground called sensorless vector control. The inverter (or what would be an ESC in the RC world) tunes itself to the motor by going through a routine with the motor sitting mechanically-bare (nothing, whatsoever, attached to the output shaft) and it spins it up for a few seconds and analyzes the back-EMF coming from the motor.
Such a cool rig! I've had my eye on a Ryft for a while but your previous vids did a great job of showing its weaknesses. The 2 speed transmission is a must it seems. I may bite the bullet and buy one and the 2 speed.
I bought the kit, built it, and a week later they dropped the price by 120$ i was kinda salty about that, but i love the 2 speed, and have been having a blast with it
Kevin, love your channel man. Just started getting into RC's and enjoying the content. I gotta ask you to PLEASE get an ECX Temper Gen 2. I know they aren't the best crawler but it's my first hobby grade RC and I'm so damn interested to see what you would do with one! Also pretty impressive little machine for the price. Cheers!
The stock Ryft is absolute garbage. If you can afford the $1000 in upgrades needed it’s allot of fun but you’ll lose bad when you sell it. Great video Kev you are one of the few left who hasn’t given up on the Ryft
Cool. I shimmed up my Castle 2400KV using SCX24 spacers from an axle widening kit. The parts nobody uses because you replace them with brass. No cutting required.
That under the chassis gopro angle was so cool! I definitely wanna see more of this beast! I wish they made a 1/5 scale version! You should push axial into doing that! Cant wait for that engine drop monster truck is looking so sweet already
You my friend are absolutely an inspiration truly epic content love your videos and words of wisdom because of you I am currently working on my dream come true as well thank you 👍🏻👍🏻💯
@@lbsrcs eh i suggest not putting out your channel like this because it might give you a bad light but your not big so it doesn’t really matter for now but do what you want

How much did the whole monster truck cost
I am your fan from malaysian .. every day I see your video, I see it on youtube and Instagram .. ❤️❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
where are the 202 mile hour rc car‽???????
I think is Cheap one
I like how every corner he takes there is rc cars

*Loads of RC cars!*

The problem is it’ll get in those grooves, anyway that would be epic!!

I love how everytime he says the words "rock crawling" there's a 6ft rooster tail coming from the back tires 😂
The rock bouncer is Absolutly ePiC
@@lbsrcs no spam please
I would still rather have a crawler and a basher instead of two rolled into one not so great package.
this rig is rock bouncer. not a crawler not a basher.
And what is a rock bouncer you big whopper ? It's a cross between a basher and a crawler
@@jacksrccars347 actually your wrong, a bouncer is just what it says , not a crawler or basher

I refuse to buy a car where you have to replace everything but the chassis out of the box to make it reliable
I’ve got one and just replaced the motor and esc and it works great.
Absolutely right 👍
Same

welcome to life
Horsepower is for real cars, mousepower is for RC.
Hey kev, most monster trucks have a plexy glass floor so they can see where they are going when popping wheelies.
It has it but is covered by a sticker so it isn’t damaged while building it
I love you video
I love you videos
and I thought I could tell where I was going by teh flight of the neighbor's bird feeders.
I think Kev's idea of "crawling" and mine are quite different. Still looks fun though!
he does say there is no wrong way to RC. whatever makes yourself happy is the asnwer
Yeah its epic now, after spending $500 on the kit and probably $2000 in upgrades. It better be epic!!
Kev never lies, I trust him on his monster truck
So I just roughly totalled up the cost of the Ryft and all the current parts Kev has fitted to it (from my understanding)

Tumble rumble 😊
You could almost buy a crappy Subaru or something and go off-roading for that amount

Even the worst RC car is still more better than no RC car.
Ha, great job. You now have a unique axial rock bouncer, which digs holes like a chain saw. Epic. Thanks for sharing. John

The ryft will always be one of my favorites. Everyone complained about them originally but I actually never broke a stock part.
I love the rc vids and the big mothers geting switched out keep it up
Kev should make an RC version of the world's best monster truck
Take a shot every time kevin says "fit"
Hi Kev I'm not into R/C vehicles or monster trucks, but I think you are pure entertainment, well done and keep it coming
I would hate a car that flips every time I put power to it.
Kevs thinking: Have a electronic problem? Solution=more power!!!
I love how the upgrades are 3x the buggy cost. WORTH IT!!
Checks out, sounds like every car guy ever xD
Wow the RC axle rift did a Triple salchow!!!! I never seen a RC 4x4 do that before!
If you use the aux wire and program full drag brake in low gear. It will crawl heaps better. Low end resolution is goes up with more drag brake in the castle esc's

in stock for it wasnt much fun, now im loving it!!
@@KevinTalbotTV That's all that matters at the end of the day, no matter what.
@@KevinTalbotTVwhere kan I buy on online stores😅😊
That 2speed is going to need some mods to work correctly.
The ryft is far from the worst rc. I love mine. I've never broken the first stock part but it does happen to have EVERY vitavon part offered now
I love it when he says ‘tumblewumble’ it’s genius and very very funny 🎉
The amount of money it takes to make that care usable is so insane
I love how he started doing some sponsorships as soon as he reached 1 Millon subs
It is indeed now an epic RC car! Kevin did an absolute great job with the Ryft. Axial? Nope, they blew it!
That has to be the most expensive rift build to date. Awesome Man! 😎
Omg on 6s that things gonna absolutely rip!!! I do want an Axial Ryft but it’s not at the top of my list yet. That thing sure looks like it can take a proper beating now! 👊👊👍👍

Bro I just love this guys energy it’s just so contagious ❤
A Holmes Hobbies puller pro xl would have been the perfect motor. Run one in my Yeti. Absolutely rips and smooth low speed
"Now we can throw it in low gear and crawl slowly.."
Proceeds to throw rooster tails of dirt.
Love the build Kevin. Looks great been buying treal parts as mine breaks been fun upgrading. More Ryft content please
This video was fun to watch, big respect for all the women seeing there man playing with car toys😜😜

It's amazing that it's overflowing with power!
Yeah Buddy!!! Thanks for showing us the way!!!
Amazing car 💙💙💙💚
All you need to do now Kev is make yourself a metal tube body and it would look freakin awesome.
Hey Kevin you should consider anodizing some of your rc car parts if you get a good finish it would look amazing
So glad Kevin is fixing his teeth those brits have some horrible teeth he’s gonna feel so good after they’re done
Everything in Kev’a eye is worlds BEST
This is basically a Treal Ryft now. They should just make their own cars at this point lol
that rock bouncer does not seem to die

Cool. I shimmed up my Castle 2400KV using SCX24 spacers from an axle widening kit. The parts nobody uses because you replace them with brass. No cutting required.
Very cool I really like that truck, fast when you want to bash but super controlled when you want to crawl
You can sponsor anything and make it sound epic, I swear to god

RC car is crazy too fast
Kev: MOOORRRREEE POOOWWWWEEERRR🤣
You my friend are absolutely an inspiration truly epic content love your videos and words of wisdom because of you I am currently working on my dream come true as well thank you 👍🏻👍🏻💯
All around one of your best videos. A little bit more serious. Great work.
I THINK Treal and Vitavon are the same company? Good shit
You really created a monster. Super impressive.
Hi Kevin, I really like, that you can fit in one sentence "world best" and "I dont know what I´m doing"
Keep doing this great stuff :-D
"this is what it should have been all along"
A worse performing monster truck that can't crawl?
The only good thing about this is how it looks.
I think treal should make some rims for those mud tires you used in the last video
Kev you really should put a smaller pinion in the crawler gear so it’s that more controlled
There must be a difference in manufacturing here in america because as a ryft owner my car runs amazing stock
That thing is off the chain Can't wait to see it on 6S It's going to really be nuts 🤪
Awesome vidz kev 😍
Kevin Talbot, you should new your rift 'The Heavy Metal Demon.'
It really be nice to see him. Do videos on completely stalk vehicles without upgrading them. How are we supposed to know what to buy?
I'm hoping that your rock bouncer will be better than being sorry because of the electronic parts.
Maybe put some wider tires on it to stop it falling over that quick
hi Kev , i wana say you , you look great in shape this last time :) thats cool :)
the monster truck is coming along dude!
Love the vids Kev, especially the monster truck build one's... going nuts here mate that build is epic and I'm getting withdrawal symptoms.
You should get some ottsix USD stickies for it, they are a bit expensive tbh but they dont wear out easy and have tons of traction on everything
That's the motor and esc combo I put in my maxx, it's great
Other people:is not going to have enough power .also Kevin: hold my beer 🍺
Is it a smoke machine in the intro or is it already on fire
