Big YES for a rear steer set..!!!

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.

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.

Nice thorough review Greg! Thanks for showing us some action on the hills!

Can’t go wrong with a rear steer option

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 !

Kind of weird they put a sensorless system on it. For a bouncer I'd prefer more precision in the slower speeds.

That's what I'm talking about! A proper rock bouncer!!

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!

Yes I want a rear wheel steering option! Please Axial!

This thing looks like it would be a ton of fun just to bash with

Look at what this thing crawls with open diffs!!! Pretty darn impressive ! Nice job Axial

Thank you for driving it hard. I am glad you showed us the broken axle segment.

Needs lockers! Or at least in the rear. Just my opinion, still a sweet ride though and I’ll probably have one 😎

It would be cool if there was a builders kit for this. Awesome video Greg!👍

I have been looking at the Lazernut but too many issues. This rig looks like my next purchase!

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!

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.

Thanks for taking us to the white table for a better look.... Greg that’s how a review is done.

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!!!

WE WANT THE REAR STEER

"I was the first to do it." I love that statement

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.

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

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.

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 !!!

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.

Love it. Axial please make a dedicated 1/24 scale rock bouncer. For now I’ll be modding my scx24

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!

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.

Locker and steer in back with anti roll bar FTW. Great reviewGreg. I already ordered mine!

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! 👍

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

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.

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!

Stumble upon your channel searching axial ryft previews, and impressed with your presentation and content. Will be watching more for sure. Thumbs up mate

Hopefully that spectrum system will last!

The orange cage with the black panels would look sick

Absolutely awesome! Got to get one ! Hopefully they will give a rear steer option in the near future! Definitely a most have!

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.

Forget rock bouncing,,this looks like a great basher, jumping, rooster tails, maybe wheelies etc...

I feel like the steering rod on the front is going to be the first thing to ben or break. It's the first thing that will hit a rock. Kind of pointless having a metal differential cover on the front. Idk I'm pretty new to the rc world but that was my first thought when I saw it.

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!

Good looking car! Thanks for the review Greg

Im sure its fun and capable, but that duck bill platypus lookin front end is uuuugly! Thanks for the review, as always, top notch.

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.

I think this might be the RC I have been waiting for.

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.

This thing looks savage, honest review mate good stuff👍👍

Sweet video bud i just bought one because your video was that good

Great job Greg , fun watching ! 👍 ✌

Waiting on delevery... Well to come in stock at my LHS. Got a orange one, and front and rear spools on order.

Hey Greg great job on your mancave! Came out really nice! Must feel nice sitting back in there looking at all your hard work! 👍👍🍻

Love how this thing looks 😍😍

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??

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

Just wanted to say the RC sailors mentioned you in their axial rift video and they wanted their fans to tell you hi and check out your video too

Looks like it would really benefit from a sensored motor and esc. The low speed performance wasn't great.

Those tires are f'n awesome, I needs them. Y'all have a badass day 🤘

Hopefully a kit comes out soon. TAKE MY MONEY!

The position of the esc is killer

I'm hoping the HW fusion fits in here

I really enjoyed your review thank you. Got me to subscribe

Wow I'm impressed with the transmission gears. Other brands could take notes

Smart move by Axial! There are folks who have tons of hill’s with no rocks

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.

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

I pick up my LMT tomorrow. Then when this is released I will get one. Needz rear locker

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...

VERY NICEEEEEEE! Was wondering who would pop one of these out next. Good one.

This will be my next just ordered the losi Lasernut can't wait 1/29/2021

Looks good, Greg!

New shop looks so great! Great vid as always!

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.

Should have kept ar60 axles and updated them, but other than that it looks awesome.

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

In All Honesty Where you drive The Vehicle Wasnt exactly IDEAL , Poor Thing Felt Like IT was in the Tree Root Rock Apocalypses, no matter what its made from its gonna break lol , love the channel and your reviews as there honest and true , dont know how much the companies are going to like it but as a consumer of Thousands of dollars of RC , I certainly DO !!

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!

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’m already wondering what it would do with a locked rear and heavier diff fluids! Great rundown! 🤘🏼🏁

Good lord. This thing is sick

I'm not sold on it yet🤔 but hopefully makes a good custom start🏗️🤨☕👍

That looked fun! I have a bomber I do that with

Be really awesome with a sensored setup in it

Axial I think y'all should build a 1/5 scale axial ryft that would be awesome

RC DRIVER great job dude, Axial, nice design, please consider making a a rear steering axle!!!!!!!!!!!!

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!!

The front is a king pin axle that is a fucking beast axial you have done well

Transmission design and gears look very strong!

Great honest review 👍👍👍👍

If they don't have it....build it!

awsome reveiw like every time , great work again and again !!! :)

Yes. Get rear steer. I did that with the scx24

I like the new class Axial has introduced. I don't like the "toy drivers", I've never seen the point in them and always cut them out of my rigs. Looks much better without 2 very toyesque figures stuck in there Nice rig otherwise, nice video 👍🏻

I'd really like to get one of these with 4 wheel steer. When I see them come out with that option I'll be at the hobby store the next day. Really cool but I need 4 wheel steer.

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.
