thatRCguy Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 1 hour ago, Oh How Original said: That won't make any difference to your wheelnuts chap. The axles themselves are wider as are the housing and the lockouts, so everything will sit the same, it'll just be a bit wider. The only way to alter that would be to change wheels to a different offset, so the wheelnuts doesn't go inside the wheel, or has a bigger opening. My drive fits perfectly inside the stock wheels and inside these SSDs as well, it's only a cheap one off eBay, so you could even look at just buying a new driver? Ah right, ill just buy a new driver then. I thought the kit was something else, as in it did something different aha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I use is made by Ansmann, bought it years ago, can't find another one the same for you but you might have more luck I only checked eBay.

Oh How Original Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 It does the job and has quite a thin side wall so fits into gaps not much bigger than the wheelnuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 This Yeti is fast becoming one of my favourite RCs, it feels the perfect mixture of speed and crawling ability. Unfortunately this video was cut quite short because my steering went, thankfully it turned out to be 14 little stones stuck all around the steering assembly. I need to come up with something else with regards to the stone guards, but still enjoyed it and thought I'd upload the video anyway. First time using the head mount for ages as well. As always, please subscribe/like/share etc... It's very appreciated, for anyone who does it! I apologise for the border, I don't know why they keep randomly uploading like that... They aren't like that when played via my PC, I shall have to ask YouTube what's going on with that! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunm Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) Well I'm inspired to get my yeti out again, not used it in months forgot how much fun they are!! Ps subscribed Edited August 15, 2016 by shaunm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 Thanks chaps, I appreciate the sub... Yep, slightly better music... I just have to be careful what I use, being such a small channel, it's hard to find openly public royalty free music and nobody will give me free rights in return for advertising yet lol. Not enough subs/views etc... Glad you enjoyed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's just so much effort. I'd prefer to just put something over it that I can simply download. IF I was making money from the videos it would be different, but they're only a bit of fun, not to be taken too seriously, everyone has different music tastes and if someone doesn't like a particular song, just mute it and play your own lol.

Oh How Original Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 Another great day spent with the Yeti, this time my Dad brought his Tamiya Holiday Buggy along, here's some of the footage I caught. I apologise for the border, I really don't know why it keeps randomly doing that, I'm unsure if it's my camera settings or the editing software I'm using, but I'll try and sort it ASAP! Enjoy! As always, please feel free to subscribe and share, I really appreciate it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Had my Yeti and SCX10 out this evening. Very enjoyable time, although the SCX10 seems to keep wanting to stop and it's making a screeching noise. I'm not 100% sure what it is yet, but I'll investigate it at some point. The Yeti ran fine until I snapped something on the front end, I've yet to find out if it's a knuckle or chubs or the arm itself, will also investigate that further and buy parts as needed. Gives me something to do tomorrow anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Well, it appears both my knuckle and castor block are broken. The funny thing is, it was on such a weak impact, so it must have either already been cracked or just very unlucky. I will inspect the other side because that had a few hits while I was out and about. Time for some upgrades I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Received my RCMart order the other day containing my SSD trailing arms, mine have been bent from the first run but only just got round to replacing them while I was ordering other stuff. Also gave this a good beat down when out with the 5ive, Baja, Viper etc... Rather enjoyed jumping it on the smoother jumps this place provided, first time of having it there, it performed well. Also using a new tyre, which is a copy I got on eBay got 12quid for a complete set, can't grumble at all, they gripped well and have no wear signs at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Went out today with the Yetis, ended up seriously bending one of my axles and ripping one of the newly fitted trailing arms out. I was sending it off a bit of a stupid jump into a pile of rocks though, I'm amazed the chassis didn't snap to hear some of the landings, real eye waterers lol! I will upload some pictures at a later date, possibly some video too if any of the little clips I got are worth editing. Having a lot of computer troubles at the moment though, so not sure if I'll get any editing done until I've either fixed this one or bought another. This is how the rod end looked after 3 jumps into these rocks anyway, not to mention the deep grooves in the trailing arm itself... Maybe it was a bit of a stupid thing to do lol.

Oh How Original Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Here's some footage we got yesterday of the Yetis bashing around. It was the first time my Dads used his in anger, he ran it the other day for a very brief while, but this was the first proper run for him. Ended up breaking mine as you'll see at the end of the video. Also some photos I got from the bash too. Hope you enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coops Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Following this with much enthusiasm - in the not to distant future I will probably pass on my 2x LC Racing cars to the lads (in place of their Pitbulls) and am liking the Yeti as a replacement for me.

Oh How Original Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Well, in terms of an actual build, I've not done much, I've even gone back to the stock wheels... But in terms of use and abuse, it's definitely getting plenty of that I was a bit disappointed nobody made any motor suggestions though, I'd quite like something a little higher kv, just to have a little extra burst of speed on hand if I ever want it. If you use it on the right terrain, there's very little that's better. It's my second favourite RC, with my SCX10 being first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Here's some footage and pictures from yesterday, out with both Yetis and the Summit. Great day was had all round. This was really a testing experiment with my Nikon to see how different settings did different things and such, also tried different angles and even sat it on the Summit! So it's not perfect, but it's really just a testing video for myself, but I thought I'd share anyway because it came out quite nice I would highly value some feedback on the video as a whole. This was shot at 1080p 50FPS on a Nikon DSLR... I'm sure my editing software is killing the quality a bit when I'm exporting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Some really nice photography there. Saw the Summit for about 5" in the video - hardly worth a mention in the title, but decent video. (Apart from the 'music' - term used very lightly!) Looks like a good time was had by all. Al. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still there plus, it's nice to acknowledge everyone who was a part of making the video Ray just doesn't really go for things as much as me and my Dad do, so I don't really get as much footage of his stuff generally. Glad you liked it though and the photography 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Well, we took the Yetis out for a bit of an impromptu bash, I had a rather nasty landing before the camera was turned on and completely snapped my axle housing, I show it early on in the video, so you know the reason one of the Yetis is failing at most stuff is because I was running in 3 wheel drive, with a live front axle, I had very little drive at all. I kept it going though, my motto is, if it will still move, I'll still beat on it. Didn't break anything else on the day thankfully, which is surprising with the fall my Dads Yeti took at the end, that drop is bigger than it appears on the camera due to being so zoomed in, the depth of field is deceiving, these Yetis keep on surprising us with what they will do and the kind of beating they will take.

Oh How Original Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 I thought I'd make a slightly different video today, I decided I wanted to repaint my Axial Yetis interior, for several reasons, mainly to make it look a bit different and also to make it easier for myself and my Dad to tell them apart when bashing, but also to take the shine away and make it stand out a little more at a distance. I decided I'd film while I was doing it, just for something different to add to my channel, plus it might help someone along the way, which is always a good thing. I'm really interested to get feedback on this, as this is my first time making this kind of video, so any comments at all, good or bad, are very welcome, I hope to make some more 'bench' videos, whether it's modification, repair, paint or whatever else, so any feedback people can give would be highly appreciated! I already know I could have spoken a bit more fluidly, but I wasn't too well prepared, it was a bit on the fly, so that is already noted from watching the video back myself. Hope you enjoy the video!

Oh How Original Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Had some problems yesterday with my Yeti not wanting to move... Electrics weren't hot and the battery wasn't dead. Discovered this lot round the prop shaft, it was wound round so tightly, it was creating too much resistance for the non sensored electrics! I think I need to trim this afro down a bit!

Oh How Original Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 Haven't had this out for a while but decided while we were at Rays field, I'd put a pack through it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
