Be proud of it, we know your putting it through its paces none of that “sponsored shenanigans” where no matter what it’s the greatest! Still a neat machine ! Glad to see a honest drive of it !
Great review & run Greg I'm pulling the trigger on the black one axial killed it again, I already have some upgrades laying around metal trailing arms, scale V8 engine over the battery, servo and rear sway bar, hey Axial a rear stear kit would be awesome!!!
I’ve got the same hesitation between the lasernut and the Ryft. The question I’m asking myself is, what about the speed on dirt road in the Forest ? My son have the Baja rey Ford raptor and i want to go with him with a truck wich can do almost the same thing on roads, and off road, a little more fun... I don’t know witch one to choose. Help me. Please.
Keep lipos warm with Womens pantie hose, 3 layers will help alot! Put lipo in the foot ,leave 3" and cut. leftover pantie knot the end and repeat the foot cut! Full runs full power!plastic doesn't like below 40 degress. That thing is wild. I been watching alot of the full size rock bouncer videos. Can't get much closer.
I absolutely love how you found a perfect location to shoot some running footage of this rock bouncer. As for the vehicle itself, I'm not sure the driving experience is for me out of the box. It seemed to roll and cog a fair bit. I'm not sure how fun it would be hiking the trails between the cool climbing / bouncing lines. I do like the concept of trying, trying, trying, and finally nailing a tough line though. The three differentials is an interesting choice. It certainly offers a lot of tunability and versatility.
The location is New England (CT) it's pretty much like that everywhere. I think Greg visits that NW hill a lot which is arguably the best our state has to offer. New England as a whole is one of the most diverse and beautiful areas of the country. (You can be at ocean or in mountains less than an hour drive.) Very European feeling regarding roads and property layouts etc. The area was heavily populated and being developed (Compared to the rest of North America) during the 1600's forward so we have a "non grid like" Indian paths that became wagon trails that became winding roads type of layout here. Densely populated on paper, but feels like you are uncrowded and rural at the same time. You can be 10 minutes outside of downtown in a 1.3 million city (Hartford) and be in the woods with deer, fox, turkeys and coyote in your backyard/woods. Very unique area of the country.
@@dirtrider88 The Hartford metropolitan area is 1.3 million people. That's how most cities are listed. NYC doesn't have 19 million people in the 5 borough city limits, nor does L.A. have 12 million people etc. FYI: Hartford city limits are one of the smallest in the nation, the city is only 17 sq miles. TINY land mass. Most cities of our metro sized are the size of Hartford, West Hartford, Farmington, Wethersfield, Glastonbury, East Hartford, Windsor and Bloomfield combined. It causes a lot of statistics to be skewed such as crime rates etc.
Love the look of that- i watch a fair bit of the Southern Rock Racing, and most do have lights. They quite regularly have night runs. For 500 it really should come with built in lights. Be good to see one of the manufacturers doing a collaboration with Tim Cameron, Bobby Tanner, Wes Kean or one of the other top rock racers. They all have vehicles which are the dogs nutz, all one off and unique designs which would make brilliant scale models!! Not a fan of the fake disc brakes, the money would be better spent on lights in my opinion. Your comments about veering off hitting stuff is pure scale realism!
With all the noise this rig makes, they should have installed a v8 sound kit some how!!! Also some leds. Thank you for the sneak peak!! Have a great day !!!
I thought the orange one was sexy for sure...frustrating fun. Hmmm maybe it will be more fun if it's just a dirt hill climber or something like that. Bunch of guys in our hobby group did that last weekend with snow on the ground this might have done well with some decent size wheels and tires. Or even stock.
Great review thank you. AXIAL, I WOULD like to see steering on the back too. I'm 75% committed to buying this. Rear steering capable... 100%. Looks awesome!
I hope they come out with a builders kit I’m a fan of my own electronics even if I get this witch I’m thinking I need it but I will just take the electronics out and put in a sensored Holmes setup
same. I want a Reef's serv and a Holmes Sensored motor.... if the builders kit is 350-400, Id still spend 600-700 building it but at least the electronics will never break! The drivetrain seems beefy enough to handle whatever you want to throw at it..
Stumble upon your channel searching axial ryft previews, and impressed with your presentation and content. Will be watching more for sure. Thumbs up mate
Newbie here. Sway bar pn? I ordered this vehicle last weekend and seen more vids. The torque twist seems to be the main problem with stability of this vehicle. A sway bar would help, yes? Being a fan of crawling..a rear steering kit would truly be an exciting upgrade. This will be the 2nd time I purchased a vehicle so close to its release date. I hope It's not like my ( LaserNOT). Over 200 on parts just to realize that they forgot to install a spacer/washer in the dif. Newbie mistake so I'll take 50% of the blame. Only drove it like 5 times. As of currently I've been waiting for a screw set for about a month now because they used a 3m x 45 button head with NO shoulder. Never again losi... never again. ON THE UPSIDE!! I truly LOVE my Axial Capra. Like my friend said, " If I get into a different kind of car, the axial ryft would be it and my friend John sent me the vid and wants one too. He doesn't even do rc. Lol. But your Axial Capra is built like a brick $hithouse." So I agree with his comment. Parts will break, that's why they're hobbies, not toys. I'll remain confident with Axial. Love your vids. You've been quite informative. Best to you and yours. DO IT IN THE DIRT. LOL
It's interesting that they chose to use spider gears in the diffs instead of lockers/spools. I like the switch and especially the battery tray. I've been very satisfied with the 130A ESC in my Lasernut, Rock Rey, and Tenacity TT Pro. While I wouldn't choose it for a DIY build, neither have I felt the need to replace it/them. I'm sure I'll be picking one of these up! 👍
What I really liked about the Wraith, that I haven't seen on any other rig, were full bucket seats with floor boards, just a bit more realistic and I can put my own figures in. : ) But this look like a well built truck.
@@erniegasbarino7658 I agree! I just found a company who makes one but they sell for $325. Looks exactly like what I'm looking for but no one has reviewed their car lol. spyderoffroad.com/collections/remote-control-srrs-rock-bouncers
Awsome to see new rigs added to Axials lineup. How about a kit version with upgrades Axial? Don't forget us builders who probably won't ever buy a RTR. Great review! Looks like it needs locked diffs for sure though!
Lol I am so far behind the times. Still have an Scx10.1 and Wraith Spawn. I didnt even know all these other newer models were out until I recently got back into the hobby.
Think it would do well with shocks with half the travel. sit lower, or just sit with much more droop. like 35mm lower. I'm not a fan of forward facing servo on axle... but it looks like a lot of fun, very close. not sure I have the space in the stable right now. if my workbench wasn't full... hrmm might be time for a sale.
Axial killed it....accept for the lack of rear steer. All real rock bouncers that I'm aware of have it. Common Axial, give us a rear steer kit! My orange one is on order.
I just bought an LMT and a Lasernut over the weekend. I want this sooooo bad. I really feel like we're in an r/c Renaissance where every month something groundbreaking comes out.
great video, great review, love your new workshop.....please do a follow up video after you have owned it for awhile, as a rule of thumb, I don't buy an RC vehicle until it has been out for a bit, I like to know what the "weak" points are. Thanks keep up the good work.
I was just about to order a gmade r1 rock bouncer from great hobbies. Now that I see this I may reconsider. One plus about the gmade is that there is a full option kit for rws. Plus I want a kit version. Decisions decisions...
Out of the box the handling was poor at higher speeds. On asphalt, out of the box, it wagged all over the place. I turned the AVC all the way down (will disable later) and I remounted the back shocks directly onto the rear axle to cut down on the torque twist. Now it 's like a rocket. I still get the one front wheel riding off the ground when I give it full throttle on grass and it rolls fairly easily but a lot of that could be me. I just started with the RC crawlers and bouncers. It is a lot of fun, I get a good 25 minutes out of a regular 4S 50C 5000 mah battery when I'm hitting it pretty hard. I might try some of my old 3S batteries to see how they do.
Interesting, I have an Axial RR10 which I haven't really used as much as I had planned (life/child gets in the way). This looks to have a lot more suspension travel. I bought the kit version of the RR10 so all metal gears and suspenion parts/extra metal bracing. Love it when I do get to drive it and I must have it geared quite low plus only running on 2S, don't remember the KV of the motor I used (maybe 3200), still fast enough to have fun yet I can just crawl it over rocks with barely any wheel spin. I get something like a 20min run time even running flat out on grassy but steep terrain. My first steering servo stripped out straight away; bought a good metal geared one and never had a problem since.
Fantastic detailed review as always! Quite new to the scene so this kind of vehicle seems quite niche to me but nice to see that there are options for everyone. For me it would be more fun to do that 40 minute walk with a crawler and then still tackle those rocks but with a more surgical manor. Was surprised that even just the rear diff wasn't locked from factory but maybe that replicates real life??
@@rcdriver axial should offer those tires and wheels as a pre glued set of 4. I wonder if I can cut my scx24's boggers with that pattern? I also think a trail truck build with that drivetrain would be cool, I like 14 bolt axles. Anyways, good review on a really cool rc 🤘
The terrain is just like here and your driving is just like how I drive my Bomber. The Baby Bomber, I will call this. No comparison to the Yeti, closer to a Brushless Bomber
Not that this a deciding factor in any way. My 10 year old wants to know if it will do a brody without flipping over? Lol great videos , Thanks! Keep it up!!
Looks like a super fun rig! I just hope those aren't the same trailing arms as the SMT10/wraith. They break super easy, will def want to add the aluminum plates asap. Other than that, looks like a solid build.
Scratch that, just saw the broken axle part of the vid, LOL! Looks like it need axle tube inserts just like the SMT10. To be fair, Ive been breaking a lot of plastic in the cold too but that didn't seem like a big send at all. I'm trying to build a solid rig for exactly this kind of driving. So far Ive broken a lot on my Rock Rey but changing to a lighter UDR/Hyrax wheel/tire setup seemed to help a ton.
I definitely would like to see a rear steer kit When I first heard about this vehicle before I saw it I was positive it would have rear steer But I was disappointed to find out it does not
As far as 4 wheel steer goes, a bomber or yeti ar60 axle will likely work, they are universal left or right. And like on the bomber it runs trailing arms already so it will be easy to convert
Should of came with a censored motor. That would make this thing way better. Hobbywing axe foc system would make this a animal. It sure made my trx4 30x better!
Reminds me a little of my yeti XL. Why did that get discontinued. I am sad .Yeti XL was special in its own way. It was great. The truck looks cool. Smaller though.
This thing is sweet. Now here’s hoping but imagine a larger scale of this kind of like what they did with the Yeti xl? This would be awsome in a 1/8 size for me
You can see some Losi goodies on there now too, the bump stops for the shocks and hub/brake rotor setup all look like the Baja Rey, minus the mounting.
I do have one question, is that servo analog? Kinda seems like it. Im hoping not though, AVC will burnup analog servos, says it right in the manual. I couldnt find specs on that servo anywhere.

Big YES for a rear steer set..!!!
Nice thorough review Greg! Thanks for showing us some action on the hills!
Thanks Mathew!! It was a 45 minute hike to get to that spot. My workout for the month is complete.
Been waiting for a bouncer for years especially with a plastic cage to beat on. Excellent review as always can’t wait till it’s out thank you!
Axial is a great company; My SCX24 Axial Betty is a a lot of fun; It’s what inspired me to start my RC channel.
Thank you for driving it hard. I am glad you showed us the broken axle segment.
Thanks! I do my best to drive them hard to uncover anything I can pass along.
Be proud of it, we know your putting it through its paces none of that “sponsored shenanigans” where no matter what it’s the greatest! Still a neat machine !
Glad to see a honest drive of it !
I just got like 6 notifications on this! I love it! Your making me wanna get it more. My $25 bank account won’t like this. Lol.
It’s the hot topic 🤣
You gotta use that stimmy check !
In the words of my brother, F*** IT!
So they really call it the axial belch
I love how u give a great close look at a new product and then the second half of ur vid to a running vid. New work shop looks great!
Look at what this thing crawls with open diffs!!! Pretty darn impressive !
Nice job Axial
That's what I'm talking about! A proper rock bouncer!!
This thing looks like it would be a ton of fun just to bash with
Yes I want a rear wheel steering option! Please Axial!
Kind of weird they put a sensorless system on it. For a bouncer I'd prefer more precision in the slower speeds.
thats not a rock bouncer. that's a rock crawler. a rock bouncer does not go slow, ever.
Needs lockers! Or at least in the rear. Just my opinion, still a sweet ride though and I’ll probably have one 😎
Several other reviewers are stating that there will be optional lockers.
I was watching this and was just like wait this thing doesn’t have lockers
@@Jimmy2Horses yeah I’ve since seen this information as well, I’ll be getting the spools for mine
Easy fix, silicon ear plugs in the diffs.
Spools are avalibe for this. $9.45 ish.got bouncer and spools on order as i type. A second $500 plust truck. İm out of my mind!
Can’t go wrong with a rear steer option
The rear wheels steer on this??
Great review & run Greg I'm pulling the trigger on the black one axial killed it again, I already have some upgrades laying around metal trailing arms, scale V8 engine over the battery, servo and rear sway bar, hey Axial a rear stear kit would be awesome!!!

Help me. Please.
Thanks for taking us to the white table for a better look.... Greg that’s how a review is done.
It would be cool if there was a builders kit for this. Awesome video Greg!👍
Are the builders kits difficult to out together.? I see them alot, but it seems like alot of work

Locker and steer in back with anti roll bar FTW. Great reviewGreg. I already ordered mine!
Open axle diffs on a rock bouncer? That’s an interesting choice. I think I’d like rear axle locked instead of rear steer option.
They will have option spools you can install. They felt the diff setup would be drive-able for bashers.
I would just put silicone earbuds in the diffs so it can still give on the impacts
I hope they come out with a builders kit I’m a fan of my own electronics even if I get this witch I’m thinking I need it but I will just take the electronics out and put in a sensored Holmes setup
I’m sure Axial is reading these comments. Fingers crossed!

100% on the castle/Holmes sensored setup
A rc like this I can’t imagine there not being a kit.
Right that’s what I’m thinking, I did see that there is a third color option and rumors are it’s the kit

It's interesting that they chose to use spider gears in the diffs instead of lockers/spools.

Hopefully a kit comes out soon. TAKE MY MONEY!
Hey Greg great job on your mancave! Came out really nice! Must feel nice sitting back in there looking at all your hard work! 👍👍🍻

sit lower, or just sit with much more droop.
like 35mm lower.

That would be sick!!
"I was the first to do it." I love that statement
Axial killed it....accept for the lack of rear steer. All real rock bouncers that I'm aware of have it. Common Axial, give us a rear steer kit! My orange one is on order.
Looks like it would really benefit from a sensored motor and esc. The low speed performance wasn't great.
This thing looks savage, honest review mate good stuff👍👍
VERY NICEEEEEEE! Was wondering who would pop one of these out next. Good one.
I just bought an LMT and a Lasernut over the weekend. I want this sooooo bad. I really feel like we're in an r/c Renaissance where every month something groundbreaking comes out.

Thank you Rich!
Im sure its fun and capable, but that duck bill platypus lookin front end is uuuugly! Thanks for the review, as always, top notch.
Sweet video bud i just bought one because your video was that good
Transmission design and gears look very strong!
Agreed! I was pretty happy when I popped open the transmission.
I was just about to order a gmade r1 rock bouncer from great hobbies. Now that I see this I may reconsider. One plus about the gmade is that there is a full option kit for rws. Plus I want a kit version. Decisions decisions...

That running video is awesome!
Phew! Thanks. I wanted to give you guys more, but I lost a ton of video because the camera kept getting covered in mud and I didn’t catch it.

Out of the box the handling was poor at higher speeds. On asphalt, out of the box, it wagged all over the place. I turned the AVC all the way down (will disable later) and I remounted the back shocks directly onto the rear axle to cut down on the torque twist. Now it 's like a rocket.

Hopefully that spectrum system will last!
Looks like it’s made by Hobbywing. The Spektrum servo might have issues
I’m already wondering what it would do with a locked rear and heavier diff fluids! Great rundown! 🤘🏼🏁
What do the different fluids do
Interesting, I have an Axial RR10 which I haven't really used as much as I had planned (life/child gets in the way). This looks to have a lot more suspension travel. I bought the kit version of the RR10 so all metal gears and suspenion parts/extra metal bracing.

They will have a spool available for it. They went with diffs because they felt it would fit the general user/ basher better.
Those tires are f'n awesome, I needs them. Y'all have a badass day 🤘
They’re pretty awesome. You can hear them really gripping at the second half of the action segment.

The terrain is just like here and your driving is just like how I drive my Bomber. The Baby Bomber, I will call this. No comparison to the Yeti, closer to a Brushless Bomber
I lost a lot of killer action footage due to the camera getting hit with mud. But it was a blast to rip on this rig!
This thing is actually bigger than the Bomber
Sounds like taking apart a bomber or capra just to work on it
And “14B” probably represent’s the 14 bolt axle from the 1:1 platform
It does 14 bolt, it even has 14 fake bolts on the diff cover
Not that this a deciding factor in any way. My 10 year old wants to know if it will do a brody without flipping over? Lol great videos , Thanks! Keep it up!!
That looked fun! I have a bomber I do that with
Great honest review 👍👍👍👍
Wow I'm impressed with the transmission gears. Other brands could take notes
Yeah, it was nice to see all metal, including the spur!
@@rcdriver They look like mod 1 gears, too, or at least mod .8. Not little 48 pitch things!
I really enjoyed your review thank you. Got me to subscribe
Looks like a super fun rig! I just hope those aren't the same trailing arms as the SMT10/wraith. They break super easy, will def want to add the aluminum plates asap. Other than that, looks like a solid build.
Scratch that, just saw the broken axle part of the vid, LOL! Looks like it need axle tube inserts just like the SMT10. To be fair, Ive been breaking a lot of plastic in the cold too but that didn't seem like a big send at all. I'm trying to build a solid rig for exactly this kind of driving. So far Ive broken a lot on my Rock Rey but changing to a lighter UDR/Hyrax wheel/tire setup seemed to help a ton.
You're killing me! This look fantastic. Probably have to get one.
I’m just showing you things 🤣
I definitely would like to see a rear steer kit When I first heard about this vehicle before I saw it I was positive it would have rear steer But I was disappointed to find out it does not
As far as 4 wheel steer goes, a bomber or yeti ar60 axle will likely work, they are universal left or right. And like on the bomber it runs trailing arms already so it will be easy to convert
I'm not sold on it yet🤔 but hopefully makes a good custom start🏗️🤨☕👍
Should of came with a censored motor. That would make this thing way better. Hobbywing axe foc system would make this a animal. It sure made my trx4 30x better!
100% agree. I have a Lasernut and have been thinking the same thing
I think l just found my next rc! I like the cut tires and cage work! It needs some lights though and I wish it had locked differentials. Thoughts?
Might be able to adapt a Pro-line lightbar. A spool will be available to lock it up. At least one spool is on my need to get list.
Looks great can't wait to pick one up!
Looks awesome, just needs to come as a kit.
Reminds me a little of my yeti XL. Why did that get discontinued. I am sad .Yeti XL was special in its own way. It was great. The truck looks cool. Smaller though.
love your videos from France !!!
Smart move by Axial! There are folks who have tons of hill’s with no rocks
awesome review..... yeah, really can use some thicker lube in the diffs.....
This thing is sweet. Now here’s hoping but imagine a larger scale of this kind of like what they did with the Yeti xl? This would be awsome in a 1/8 size for me
Nice review. Rear steer Axial!
RC DRIVER great job dude, Axial, nice design, please consider making a a rear steering axle!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can see some Losi goodies on there now too, the bump stops for the shocks and hub/brake rotor setup all look like the Baja Rey, minus the mounting.
I do have one question, is that servo analog? Kinda seems like it. Im hoping not though, AVC will burnup analog servos, says it right in the manual. I couldnt find specs on that servo anywhere.
Yup, getting some influence from inside resources.
Awesome rig they definitely put some great ideas into it 4s torque twist is crazy but definitely wicked
Love how this thing looks 😍😍
Very nice! You really know how to properly make a review!
✌🏼😎👍🏼
Just pre-ordered one. Can't wait to try it out.
Cool, have fun when it arrives!!
