thatRCguy Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Ok, ive just recieved my Yeti kit and its still in bits while i wait for some more parts (servo, pinion set, shock oils) and i was just wondering about what to look out for during the build and while running. The electrics im running are..... Power HD 13kg servo Carson pro2 lcd radio Radient Reaktor esc and motor combo Nvision 5000mah 45c 2s lipo The radio and brushless combo are just what i have lying around atm i will change to a castle sidewinder 3 or etronix 1/8th combo at some point in the future. Btw, this isnt another build thread but i will post photos of it when its done lol (might be a while xD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Just take your time and build it properly unlike me who forgot to put the cap on the shock cartridges and then wondered why the shocks kept leaking oil lol. Also might be a good idea to get your body sprayed first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breitling.1884 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 So you have had it in the garden at 30mph, wow, some garden you must have. Ha. You ask about shock oils 30 or 40wt? I dont know much but i would imagine it could depend on what sort of springs you're using, the position of the shock itself and the weight of your battery. If all is stock then i might consider 20 front 40 rear. So you have had it in the garden at 30mph, wow, some garden you must have. Ha. You ask about shock oils 30 or 40wt?

J.A.Son Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Imo, there's a few vague area's in the instructions, which I've covered in my build thread, otherwise it's straight forward enough. And yes, 2s is too slow!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.A.Son Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Ah, sorry didn't realise If you haven't already read it, I found it pays to spend some time setting the steering end-points. Especially if you're suffering poor steering lock- provided you've got a decently torquey servo that is! What shock oil weight did you end up using?

Especially if you're suffering poor steering lock- provided you've got a decently torquey servo that is!What shock oil weight did you end up using? 60 in front and 40 in back running a 15kg servo. Steering seems pretty good with 60 in the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
