Axial RBX10 Ryft 4WD 1/10 RTR Brushless Rock Bouncer (Black) w/DX3 Radio

First off, I would like to say poor reviews do not account for how a driver drives there RC. IF they are abusing it or not. That being said, yes there are some issues , all of those can be work out. In my experience there can be some difficulties with electronics. Like hard lands up side down hits, one wheel hits, 15ft jumps can cause issues. As long as the company honors and re places parts then problems solved. We are also in a pandemic, and things take longer then normal.

Back to the car.....The car needs to be tuned and re tuned. Then its a great machine. IT is a bouncer just like the real ones. Watch a couple of videos and the slowly work your car up to how they drive . I have had not one part break or fail. Its a great car take your time...

To be fair I did do a kit so I new what was going on in the build. I only buy RTR if I just want to bash. I have been in this hobby a long time I am 55 and have done a lot of builds. I do recommend this car If you have experience and under stand things happen. parts break it s just part of the hobby. If I could attach pics or videos I would. Happy Rolling

Let me start by saying this. This is not a bash and crash repeat rc car. If you drive it realistically and with respect, it is a bada** machine. I have run multiple battery packs through it while running scale climbs and courses and not so scale flips and jumps and through some nasty barrel rolls and cart wheels this thing has come back for more. It doesn’t matter if you spend pennys or top dollars on an rc car or parts. If you play with them, they will all eventually break something. I would not recommend this as an entry level rc car. With that being said, my 5 year old still rips it on 50% the the occasional 100% rooster tails of dirt and rocks and whatever this beast runs over. 4s is too much for what this is. Keep it on 3s and have fun. Torque twist is insane with it. On road is borderline uncontrollable under full throttle. But that’s not what this is as made for…all rc cars have a built purpose…keep them in that realm and they excel. and if you are on the fence get this now. Definitely recommend buying or fabricating and rear sway bar.

Fun, challenging, and tough.

1 star reviews are nonsense, the Ryft is tough, challenging, and fun. It’s not perfect, it’s useless on streets, winds itself up on its teeter totter suspension, and had some durability issues early in its life, but like any product, if it’s new, it’s not going to be perfect. What it does do well though, is handle and drive like a proper rock bouncer, and if you can appreciate the challenge, and aren’t just looking for another mindless basher, you won’t be dissatisfied.

Fun, tough, and an actual throw it rock faces bouncer, pretty awesome.

Fun rc to drive. Has a lot of power and a lot of potential to make it into whatever you want. I’m fairly new to the RC world and I feel the Ryft is fairly beginner friendly. I did extensive research on the car before buying and a lot of reviews mentioned how quickly things break. I haven’t had anything break after 2 weeks of mild use. With that in mind, the vehicle is fairly easy to work on once you get familiar with taking it apart once or twice. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants something that’s gonna go fast and climb rocks. Not so much a crawler but like I said, you can turn it into whatever you want with parts and upgrades.

Extreme fun with this car. I like it so much, I have four of them. Each is set up differently. Making a video of the four showing what makes them so great. Cannot go wrong with one of these. Get one while you can! The kits are fun to put together, especially when you add special upgrades.

Great fast and fun vehicle but there is major design flaws with the differentials and axles.

2nd battery in and shredded the front spider gears, front u-joint came apart also.

The warranty process is a bit tedious but they shipped out replacement parts fast.

Do your research before buying

Lots of potential but needs upgrades out of the box.
Needs a sway bar. It will lift a wheel in a straight line.
The suspension arms ends fail quickly if it’s used for more than slow crawling.
Steering is borderline unusable stock. The servo-saver is overwhelmed, as is the servo.

Expect to add a sway bar and replace at least the lower arms, servo, and saver. That at least another $200
SSD axle reinforcements are a good idea.

At this point I’m in over $1k and no regrets. I knew what to expect to replace and it’s potential.

If I could give a negative stars I would. 1/2 way through 1st pack, servo saver dead. Unbound at least 12 times. 2nd pack, more unbinding and servo dead. 3rd pack ESC dead. Took 12 days for Horizon to ship new parts. 4th pack, front and rear diffs dead. Not a quality product.
