Got all 4 shocks in, I have to reorder the trailing arms.
First set are lost in the mail
Last scanned at Lexington facility on 7/22
Ups has it listed as lost and I have to file a claim. But i got em used without insurance so its basically a loss. Looks like we are ordering another set today then lol

She is a lot more stable than ours. All that weight down low seems to make it a lot better.
 
i got to run for about 5 mins before the same tire came off the rim, i was pretty careful about seating it this time, i pulled and pulled and it didnt seperate, but when i hit the hill, I'm thinking I'm doing something to help it come off. its an injora rim, easiest rim I've ever assembled. I'm going to swap them out for a different set i have on hand and see if that fixes the issue.
i NEED MORE POWA!!!!!!!!! I want MORE speed!!, its controllable as it is right now. i want the ryft I've heard legends of. what do i need to do?
i need a 4s battery to start, i dont have one small enough YET.
i got the steel driveshafts in today, medium quality really meh
my main issue honestly is i only have the single speed transmission. thats my next step i guess.
so that means ill need a shift servo right? does it need to be small? or would one of the stock servos I've swapped out work? where in the world would i manage to stuff another servo??!!

The shift servo I used is in my Ryft build. That is the most challenging thing on the Ryft. Finding something that works. When I did mine, there wasn't much out there for yhe Ryft. Look around YT and see what others may have come up with for the shift servo. I can try to find my print files if my setup is all there is, but there should be other solutions. The stock Ryft shift servos are total garbage.
 
need to find a good 20t pinion that will fit the roc412, since i have the 2300kv i can run 4s, so I'm going to order this battery i believe on friday or next friday, once i get the trailing arms in (the second set is in the mail)
 
GOT THE VITAVON TRAILING ARMS IN TODAY oops
20250816_114222.webp

eyeballing either purple or green upper n lower links, but i can't decide on which coplor i want.

theres a REALLY BIG PART OF ME THAT WANTS (stoopid fingers stop yelling!!!) to change gears with it literally and make it into more of a crawler with speed, but id need to close my diffs and it seems to prefer them open.
i fancied a few that i saw at btc killing the rocks

Why do you keep putting all of those cheap knock off parts on there? 🤔 You should stick with OEM parts. 😜

took the ryft to Fagen Branch to see how it likes the trails.
it LOVED em.
i didnt get to drive long as i forgot to charge the controllers batteries like a dumb.
the 4 mins i got to run it handled realy well, other than the open diffs. they presented a problem. i really think diff lockers are in my future.
it rocketed up the spots it didnt want to crawl which was awsome! but at slower speeds the tire against the obstacle would just stop and this doesn't help me.

the front shafts slipped out? i took it apart and they just slid back in. i wonder if its because of the length? i am ordering a set of vitavon front shafts to replace them with and will see if it fixes the issue permanently.
its temporarily fixed atm, but the next time i take it out its probably going to do the same thing.
it is acting like itd midding a bearing but it isnt

Can't tell in the vid. Is the front driveshaft spinning but the wheels aren't?

correct, both driveshafts came unseated from the diff, no reason why, they were fully seated the previous outing, and are seated fully again... for now

You mean the driveshaft slipped off the input shaft? If so, you need to loctite those set screws.

i dont know, i mean this circled part came out of the arrows. i thought the front shafts connected to the front diff? i dont know the names of the parts often,
i need my front shafts to stay in the diff, it slips out, i dont understand why. all of the bearings are installed. everything in the photo is installed. but they both slip out. i wonder if the shafts are worn out? they were used previously by mvrca. or the diff itself maybe? I'm going to take it apart once i have some free time
