  1. @Oh How Original Thanks for that I have ordered a few parts to try and slim ("Frumpy" as I have named her). RPM arms instead off aluminium. An SSD centred rear axle instead of the VP Currie axle. Plus it will like look crap when covered in scrapes, scratches and dints. And when in stock VP titanium rear uppers links instead of stainless. Hopefully that will drop the weight a bit. I also try and keep my trucks as light as possible. But obviously durability must be thought of to.
  2. Any chance of some pictures on your build thread? I do like the look of the VP bulkhead.
  3. It's a good ESC. I'm sure you'll be happy with it.
  4. If I'm gonna be honest. I have a kit version that's fairly stock, that's OK on terrain I use on 2s. It's my other Yeti that's heavy and doesn't seem to go.
  5. Thanks for your replies I'll put a big 3s brick in frumpy and see how she does.
  6. This is probably the cheapest option for an Ezrun ESC from the UK. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/hobbywing-ezrun-60a-sl-bl-esc-for-1-10-car-and-truck/rc-car-products/376971
  7. I would try an Ezrun ESC. I have used a few of them with good results. The later combos are nice. Really low cogging. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/hobbywing-ezrun-combo-max10-3652sl-3300kv-brushless-motor/rc-car-products/420922 I do prefer the SCT version of the ESC. Can take up to 4s. Depends on your budget.
  8. Has anyone weighed there Yeti? I was curious because it felt heavy and was slow with a xerun 3656 4000kv motor, on 2s. Would no doubt be better with same motor but 3400kv on 3s. It turns out my Yeti needs to go on a diet as it weighs 4.1 KG. And that's with no battery ?
  9. Try swapping over two of the wires from motor to ESC.
  10. I'm after a few stock parts for my Axial yeti 1/10. Front bumper Rear driveshaft Radio box lid Spur gear cover Slipper clutch
  11. I have a stock summit ESC & motor if your still after one.
  12. The outlaw is a good truck. But it's not my go to truck for big jumps and generally beating the crap out of it. I have a slash 4x4 for that. Probably the most durable truck I've owned. When I have taken the outlaw to the local MTB park. It's usually broken rear arms, bent shock shaft or broke chassis ( done 3).
  13. The LCD programming box doesn't work with the quicrun ESC's. Only the LED programming card. Just in case you didn't know.
  14. Interesting choice in body panels..... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F142897692165
  15. I have had both. FZ6 and FZ1. Trust me, the extra weight from the FZ1 is not worth it. The 600's are plenty quick enough for the roads. In most case's too quick. My FZ6 demolished most fast cars. Loved the torque of the FZ1. But she was a heavy unit. I now ride a CBR600RR. It's really light, and smooth as silk.
  16. Is it a Fazer 600 or 1000?
  17. Never mind the bomber! That's a tidy looking bike
  18. I'd be wary of putting the larger diameter carnage wheels on the outlaw. You can't gear down because you have the choice of 17 or 23t pinion gear. And it will put more strain on the drivetrain which is not the strongest. My outlaw rips up tricky hill climbs easier than my yeti due to a lot less weight. That's on the stock outlaw tyres.
  19. Hiya mate. I can send post you another stock ESC. I do have one more. But I would recommend getting rid of the stock dual motor setup and run a brushless system. You save a lot of weight by going down to one motor and battery. Nothing silly 540 / 550. 2s lipo would be fine. And no reason why the ESC shouldn't work with a 2.4ghz radio.
  20. I ordered one a good few months ago. Got bored waiting, so I got the carbon chassis as mentioned in an earlier post. And the next day ally chassis's are in stock
  21. The carbon chassis turned up today, thanks modelsport ?. Certainly looks nicer than the anodized blue aluminium chassis. But there doesn't seem to be much meat (or carbon in this case) around the mounting bracket for the rear arms. I will get it built and see what happens.
