Oh How Original Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I must admit, the Yeti XL is one of the few vehicles I wish I could buy back now lol, it was awesome on the right terrain! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 I did look into a xl. But decided I don't have the space or money for one. So went with the 1 10th rtr car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I prefer my 1/10 one anyway, but it would still be nice to have it back, it was also quite popular on my YouTube as well so I shot myself in both feet! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't, but any 5mm LEDs will work, Axial sell them, Yeah Racing sell them, check RCmart mate, they have both brands just be sure to get ones that run on 3s if you run 3s etc... I just have the two up front, but I've stumbled upon an RC4WD copy lightbar, it's just under 5" and I was thinking of trying it on the front because it's only 15quid. If it turns out to be crap, it's not £70 wasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 Cool cool. I have 4 5mm ones in it now. Just wanted to fit some lens to change the color of it. So might have to buy 4 leds and make a set up then.I just wanted to make it look Better. More looking needed then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 My light bar was £15. Not bad but definitely not as good as some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Ohhh, for changing the colour, you have to buy the complete clear parts tree, it's about £25! I was lucky enough to find someone who didn't want his and he sent me it FOC, which was really neat. I might eventually use them, or I would send them onto you and you can colour them with a sharpie, but changing the LED colour is the way to go IMO. two red, one orange, one blue, for the full U4 effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 Do you know the parts number. Cool cool. Or do you have a pic of it so I can see what I'm looking at then. Thanks dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Axial part number; ax80049 I just remembered why it's so expensive, because you need 4 of the damn things. Which is annoying since you only need one from each, now it's coming back to me which I had troubles lol. I think your best bet would be wanted adverts and try finding someone with 4 of those trees, then ask them to buy just the ones you need, that's what I did but the guy sent me all 4 trees FOC, he wouldn't even give me his PP to send postage money lol. I got very lucky though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 You lucky bugger then. Will have to have a look about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I have seen them for sale separately before, so they do pop up from time to time, like someone will buy them all, take the ones they want and someone else will buy the rest so it costs them half and two people get what they want. If you find someone to do that with, you'll be sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 So I have ordered some light lens for the car. Is it best to color the led or the lens. Also sold a load of my Lego. So when I have out the cash in to the bank. I will be making an order for a rear axle and other shiny parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for lights, you're way better off going for coloured LEDs, they give far better colour, if you colour lenses, they will still look a bit white and for every coat of colour, they'll also be less bright as well.

Hell horn. Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 Kind of though that. But I have a 4 set of leds all wired up and fitted. So don't really want to have to pull that all apart and have to mess about with More. As for axle. Not decided yet. Any recommendations for one.

Hell horn. Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 Axle wise. Price is not really a problem. Don't mind what it costs as long as its good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking at the Vanquish Currie Rock Jock on RCmart, it comes to about £141ish, I know someone selling a brand new one, but he wants £130, so it seems a bit more viable to order brand new, with warranty and you get to build it up yourself. I also looked at the Currie F9 one, which looks great, I couldn't make up my mind though so bought other stuff instead RCmart is a good place to look though, they also have the SSD diamond axles which look great and Chris (owner of SSD) is in the UK, so good customer service too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 Cool cool. Don't really like the look of the ssd one. So probably going to get the vanquish one. And some other parts at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I was very tempted, but I am sticking with stock for now, add some Beef Tubes and they're pretty solid anyway, I'd only scratch the Vanquish one and it'd look crap then anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 Lol. I have a bit of money at the moment. So why not. And scratched up looks better. I keep telling myself that and all will be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) Beef tubes and clamping lockouts solves most of the problems with plastic AR60s. I've a pair of Vanquish OCP v2's on my Barbarian that are fantastic though. I assume the F9 is even better. I didn't know SSD was in the UK. Their stuff is always cheaper to buy abroad.

Chris doesn't sell stuff himself, funnily enough, a bit like Chris who owns Hemistorm lol, they are strict on not selling things to undercut shops, plus it's less work for them having a full website and having to post things etc... RCmart is always best for SSD and Vanquish, but RCbitz is also good for SSD stuff. 15 hours ago, Hell horn. said: Lol. I have a bit of money at the moment. So why not. And scratched up looks better.

I'd invest in steering before a shiny axle though, that will be most likely to get on your nerves if you're still using the standard set up, the Vanquish assembly solves all that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 I am also getting the vanquish steering rack that removes the servo saver. Rest of the front is already upgraded.and probably some other vanquish parts at the same Time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 So put an order in with vanquish today. So epic stuff coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
