steephill Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 @Oh How Original I have just rebuilt my ftx outlaw and put 100k in the front. i also run the rear locker. That has made a huge difference, a lot more resistance in the diff. so i was thinking try the same in the Yeti. I do run quite a lot on loose ground and it seems to help to.

Oh How Original Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 The trade off is handling really. Since you already have a Bomber and SCX10, I'd leave the Yeti loose, it really helps the handling and countering griproll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Baja and 5ive are actually for sale at the moment anyway and my old mans wanting rid of his Baja. Sticking to electric for ease of use and the size. Chuck in the top box or rucksack, jobs a good'un. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolk83 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Any recommendations for steering links? I can now just lift mine off they're that worn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 If you have kit turnbuckles replace the rod ends for Revo ones https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Traxxas-5347-Rod-Ends-with-Hollow-Balls-Large-Summit-Revo-Slash-NIP/253745281614 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I was just going to ask about this today, found most of the links on my Bomber are loose when changing back to brushed, need some metal balls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolk83 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Currently got the fixed length plastic ones. Will adjustables make that much of an upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 They have less flex, so the steering should improve There is a set of Traxxas turnbuckles that is a quick cheap upgrade, I’ll go hunt the parts number brb.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, stronger, removes some of the steering slop, replaceable rod ends if one breaks and you have adjustability into the future. I use these. http://www.rcmart.com/vanquish-irc00050-incision-yeti-stainless-steel-front-link-p-66891.html?cPath=595_1160_1720 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I’ve been trying to hunt down a set of VP Ti links since I bought mine, it turns out they have now been discontinued and even the rear SS links are nearly impossible to find at the mo. I was put on to this guy from the US and he is one of the only places in the world to do Ti VP style links now, here’s his website https://hardcore-rc.ecwid.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz! Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Looks awesome mate if if you don’t mind me asking but are those the generic alloy wheels on eBay, using stock wheel adaptors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steephill Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 @Gaz! The wheels eBay alloys. They use the alloy wheel adaptors. Which are the same hub pattern as the stock kit wheels with a 12mm hex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiggles Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Pretty close to pulling the trigger on a yeti kit. Got a 130a ESC and 3900kv motor here from my scte. What motors are people using? Thinking a bit lower kv might be more suited? (Plan to use 3s) Any upgrades or diff/shock oils etc I should order with the kit and just fit from the start?

steephill Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I run a 4000kv Xerun motor in my yeti. Tried it on 3s, plenty of speed. I had to change the stock front springs to the longer 70mm springs, blue I think. And upped the front shock oil to 40 wt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I run Puller Pro R 4100kv in mine on 3s, it would rip a standard Yeti to bits in seconds tho ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I’ve had a good couple weeks at work and got given a nice bonus yesterday, so I’m treating my Yeti to a full set of Powerstroke shocks, also going to try out a semi open rear diff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
