I think the building will finally start this weekend. Going to be a different than some others. Trying to keep the costs down a little, and want to be stable at speed. Any input is welcome, this is just my 2nd build. My Yeti XL turned out pretty good though… EDIT: This lost it's way and got expensive and cool. Updated final build below: Bardog Panels Aluminum Chubs and Knuckles Beef Tubes Axial Universals GCM Diff Cups HPI Diff gears 500K Front Diff Fluid 1M Rear Diff Fluid DLux Front and Rear Trusses Savox SW-1210sg Full VP links and arms Red Wraith shocks Boom Racing 105MM for Dual rear shocks MMX and Holmes Puller Pro SSD Tranny with all Metal Gears and R/R Slipper DMG Tranny plate MIP Drive Shafts Spektrum DX3E Last edited by Jayn; 03-24-2016 at 07:10 AM. |

Nothing wrong with keeping cost down, some of us have more important things to spend money on then toy trucks. Parts list looks decent. Cheers, Wade |

Looking forward to the completed build. Curious about stretching the 1.9's onto 2.2's. Was this just for a specific size or something else?

Aesthetics. I like the look with less sidewall. Turning. I don't do any real crawling, mostly will be bombing around the golf course that I live on. On my Yeti I get so much roll of the sidewall. Hoping this is better. I may be 100% wrong. (But I do like the way they look...) Last edited by Jayn; 01-29-2016 at 10:20 AM. | |

I like the look of your wheel/tire combo. How hard was it to stretch the 1.9 to fit?

On these wheels it was quite easy. A little spit and elbow grease. I could see how it may be a challenge on others. I have not tackled the truss yet. Hopefully tonight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

Made a little progress last night. SSD trans is a fine bit of kit. That is a Yeti R/R slipper on the AX31149 Spawn style slipper shaft. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Yes I am using the HPI gears. GCM Racing made the diff cups. Really nice... I found a pair on eBay and snatched them up. Here is the website: http://gcmracing.ca/viewitem.php?productid=85 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by Jayn; 02-03-2016 at 06:58 AM. |

Made some good snow day progress. Axles went together well. Everything else is a mock up so things are loose and I need some different fasteners. Need to get links sorted out. The DLux trusses change things. I am struggling a bit so suggestions and help are welcomed. Those are VP Yeti rears. The Revo straight Ends that were on them first really bound up. Pictures show Axial bent ends as a temporary attempt to hold things together. Pix I see of the DLux set up have an extra ball centering the link that is captured above the pumpkin. That causes everything to bind here. I was going to run the Wraith kit links up front. I didn't get those installed as I didn't have the right grub screws or rod ends. What rod ends do I want that take the 3mm screw? Or do I just go fill a cart at DLux and move on? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by Jayn; 02-03-2016 at 07:46 AM. |

Got it to mockup roller status last night. I looks pretty good, but I definitely have some suspension issues to work out. The shocks are too short, the Swaybar doesn't cut it. The upper front links are too short... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

With those 1.9s I think you really need shorter trailing arms. You're definitely going to have ground clearance issues.

Ah, I see. Your build looks great. You've got a nice pile of parts there.
