Hey, sorry for the late response....They're 6" from eyelet to eyelet on all four corners. With the springs, they're about 1" in diameter, so a pretty large shock. I just posted update 2 on my channel

Here's build update 2 on the XL kit. It's turned out great. Just gotta install electronics, finish the body (you gotta see this!!!) and button up the wheels and tires.

Hey Sanny, thanks for the great comments on the channel. RC is a great hobby that I enjoy.

What motor/esc are you going with. Sold my XL to a friend last month to buy this.

I'm a huge Tekin fan, and I had an extra RX8 Gen2. I ended up with a T8 Gen2 4038 (Truggy size) 2000kv motor. The longer motor (77mm) gave me about 7mm before hitting the rear sway bar, so it was a great fit. Stay tuned for update 3.

Just picked up the electronics and should have them installed by Wednesday! Stay tuned for my body choice.......I can't just go stock! lol

Freshly installed a Tekin RX8 Gen2, T8 Gen2 4038 2000kv motor and a Hitec 9380 472 oz/in brushless HV servo!

Thanks! I'm pretty familiar with the Tekin and Hitec stuff. It just works.

Here's a look at the fuel cell. Although it takes about 9 screws to get into it, it has some decent room inside. About 2" x 4" interior if you modify the center post

I mounted the tires (5) today and wow, it took about a half bottle of Zap a Gap to complete them. The tires were just a bit too large for the rims at the bead, so I taped them to try and get the tightest bond:

I started the body today and found the cool Icon stickers for the aluminum reservoirs on the shocks. Great details!

I wanted to do something different with the XL kit.....

I tried something new with the Yeti XL cage. Plastic primer and a cool metallic silver with a clear coat. I know it will scratch easy, but it will go great with the aftermarket body........what possibly can I be up to on the body???

I picked up the Xtreme Racing Carbon Fiber Body Panel kit for my XL KIT.



As I'm waiting on the cage to dry, I added a couple of decals to the side panels
