    How to counter the speed reduction after installing portals to a Ryft?

    It's just some awesome childhood memories that stuck with me. I hope you and your BF get your rig the way you want it. Anymore questions, feel free to ask. Lots of smart guys here that are more than willing to help I'm not smart but I played one on tv... ;)

    How to counter the speed reduction after installing portals to a Ryft?

    The one you posted is more of a rock bouncer/racer more than a crawler. Very cool regardless. I buy a lot of my 1/24 scale parts here. We have a few guys here that have built and ran that style also. I built one but didn't care for it so I put the parts into another build. Everybody here knows...

    How to counter the speed reduction after installing portals to a Ryft?

    I would read up on the axles you installed and go from there. We couldn't recommend any off the top of our heads because we don't know what the gear ratio of the portals. A set I would recommend so you can chose what speed you prefer. Edit, I misread your post a bit, I would change the pinion on...

    How to counter the speed reduction after installing portals to a Ryft?

    One or the other actually. Much easier to just change the pinion gear. Be sure use Loctite on the grub screw, vibration can make it become loose. You can buy sets from amazon pretty cheap and they usually have a few or more different sizes. As I mentioned earlier, I'm surprised the portals...

    Same with my Bomber, the very reason I don't care for it.

    How to counter the speed reduction after installing portals to a Ryft?

    Welcome in @dlcurry92 , I'm surprised the portals didn't come with a bigger pinion gear. At least the portals I have used did. As WF mentioned, when you change either one, keep a close eye on the temps. The Ryft is a rock racer so it naturally runs hotter than a normal crawler. These guys...
