Does the Ryft come with a two speed? Or are you talking about the steering servo? I'd highly recommend an upgraded steering servo. Stock one says 200oz or torque. I think the Savox steering servo in my Wraith is right at 500oz. 😁
I've been out of the game for a while, so I'm not familiar with the Ryft. I used a Hitec micro servo for shifting, and it's an RC4WD AX2 transmission. Being a sensored brushless setup it really works well for both crawling and bashing. I figure my Wriath was just a hair slower than my MERV on 2s...
