I’m also gonna get that SSD nylon axle, can’t believe what a bargain that is! Very pleased with mine so far, I havn't given it a real battering yet but I will! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunm Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 The next thing to swap out on mine are the gpm shocks, I've noticed the brass ring wich holds the rose joints in at the shock mounting eye have started to come out, I've never really been happy with them if I'm honest they're fine on the flat but far to bouncy on the rough.

Funnily enough I need to inspect the shocks on mine, they are the stock kit version items and the fronts feel fine. The rear doesn’t actually feel like it’s doing anything, bit concerning as it’s never been run and hasn’t even got a combo in it so weighs bugger all presently!

Mine is fairly heavy with all the metal and 3s, I found the stock shocks leaked badly hence swapping them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 @shaunm I’m probably gonna order those Traxxas shock parts for the stock shocks for now and see how they perform. I’d like powerstrokes eventually but my RCmart shopping cart is full enough for now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 The biggest problem with the stock shocks is the bladders, I even found the Traxxas bladders weren’t great and I ended up using o-rings instead, the Traxxas X rings sorts the cartridges out perfectly tho ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunm Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) Just found out the hard way gpm parts and vanquish parts don't work together, specifically the vanquish front hubs and gpm arms, so back on went the plastic axial arms! Don't tell gpm but the plastic ones are better? And the reason for the swap, excessive ware in the knuckles and hubs also found ware in the rear pivot fixing, too soft a material me thinks!!!

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I was running 15t on mine with that combo Charlie and seemed to run nice and cool. Could prob do with going up a tooth or two tbh for a bit more top end 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benno Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I've just discovered an issue with my Yeti today, was wondering if anyone could help. Specifically it's to do with a new battery I bought for it a while ago but haven't used yet which is a Turnigy 5000mah 3s. The actual battery fits in the tray fine but because the wires come out of the corner of the battery, the little battery tray door won't close. Is there another way of securing the battery or would it be fine to run without the door? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I use Velcro straps on mine, the pack I use is too tall for the plastic cross brace, they hold it in really well, so should work great if you do away with the door, you could also add a thin bit of foam between the base of the pack and the battery tray to help stop it sliding sideways as well ?

J.K Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I was a little rougher with mine, I just forced the little door shut ? at least the battery never moved! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helsinki98 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Hi, Can anyone confirm what the part circled in red is used for? Assuming it is an option to mount the cage at the rear with? Does it fit with the part circled in blue to form an option for the hinge mechanism? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunm Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 In the rtr yeti it's just an unused part and comes in the odd bits bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
