| Axial Yeti XL - My Questions
Hello all. New to the forums and still newish to electric RC cars. I want to ask a few questions hopefully you guys can answer them. 1. Is the RTR version strong out the box? 2. On my Slash 4x4, if it overheats or battery is at low voltage is gives me a red light warning. Does the Axial Yeti XL do this or not? Might add more questions soon, thanks! |

1. Strong? Kinda yes and no, its hard to pin point that answer since everyone will have different opinions based on there own experience. It will depend on your driving style really. If you can take it easy, it will last for a while, but its not a slash. 2. Over heats or hits low voltage cut off, it will stop. Then you can check temps or voltage. You shouldn't have any over heating problems out of the box. When your lipos get low, you will notice a difference in power and know your lipos are almost at LVC. |

I think the slash was no slash when the rolled onto the market... The harder that I've been bashing... the longer it's held up... I don't know if I worked out the bugs but I've gone through 25 + packs (all pit bashing) without a break... other that a servo horn, outer bearing, and popped a turnbuckle... NO punch control or torque limiting ... I can't figure out why it's become so reliable...

What temperature is too hot for the stock RTR Yeti XL? I have a temperature pen which reads the temperatures. Just need a rough idea so I know when to turn off the car. Only when it overheats it shouldn't do with 2x 2s 8000mah 40c? Thanks. The car is getting delivered tomorrow I'll take pictures of it new |

To me it is a personal preferencE. When I build or get a new rig I temp every second pass. When it hits 145deg I take note and do a few more passes. Anything past 165deg and I say and gear down. I never tune with fans. I believe in fans 100% but not for initial tuning. Some see 185-200deg on motors with no issues. I think but could be wrong that the epoxy on the rotor has a chance of letting go around 185deg. I'm not taking that chance on a $150 motor. Your driving style, terrain and temp where you live also has a lot to do with it. In summer I have to run 15t and loose some TQ and speed. In winter I can run a 17t all day long. | |

You can monitor temps, but you will be fine with stock pinion on 4s. | |

Best advice is just run it out of the box and upgrade as you see fit (or not). You will more than likely hate the stock steering as most do but like everyone prior to me has said, you'll get different opinions from everyone. Don't worry about temps. I run an RTR setup (motor/ESC) on 6s with a 17t pinion and have honestly never checked temps and never had problems. Your driving style/ability and terrain will have an impact like 84yoda said so just drive it and enjoy! Oh, and as far as saving yours gears, if at all possible dial down your brake control... A lot.
