turok007 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) stuck it in this section but i know some call it a monster truck/buggy. i won't be doing anything really different with it apart from modding it to fit one 4s lipo as i have alot of them already. i don't really want a speed machine with this truck i just hope it has that little extra something that the traxxas revo & summit lacked. i had 3 revos and 4 summit's all set up different ways but i just didn't like any of them really.

RCbutcher Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Harley designs channel has some good yeti stuff mate. I think ther mega popular in usa atm. Idk why tbh i thought the yeti 1/10 flopped didnt it. So why is the xl doing so well. They look cool tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turok007 Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 At least we will get pictures and a proper review. im only really going to show the size of some parts. and you will see if i destroy the chassis trying to do my battery mod. but i will give a totally honest review of the kit. im not the sort of person to pile on loads of upgrades on a brand new item but just be looking at the pictures im sure the rear arms are going to be a issue. as they have beefed them up with a weak looking piece of alloy. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeghead28 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Where are you getting it from then? Notice the date on MS has gone from the 24th Feb and back to "On order with supplier" or was that cause the intial stock was exhausted from pre-release orders?

Noj Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Er dude, you know the rules, pics or it ain't happening! As the first kit owner on the forum, you are duty bound to show and share to assist others, or, what we don't need is another half assed review, bemoaning the faults without any pictorial evidence. Your forum needs YOU!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
