Upgrade advice

[Ashley S]

Is it worth buying sway bars for both front and rear?*

Also will these be a direct fit? Been told body panels will hit the tyres on a turn?

Anyone using lights on there Yeti XL? If so what ones please.

Wheels should be ok. I only use a rear sway bar never felt I needed a front.

I want to get a big order in.
I want to upgrade my wheels/tyres, new body panels, lights, sway bar etc.

I want help on what upgrades to do so I can buy all the parts at once.
What wheels/tyres do you use on your Yeti XL?

Just read it.
I am preferably looking for mounted tyres/wheels.

The prolines I linked in this thread seem to be the best pre-mounted tyres right?

[Ashley S]

Are these any better?

The Badlands are way smaller that the stock tires.. But they would be great for a dirt track, parking lot or smooth surfaces... unreal traction!!!!!

These are the lights I have on my XL. Leftover buckets from a traxxas slash...plastic cemented into the bumper.

Thanks for the info.
Not sure what to do then.. I want tyres/wheels same size as the stock RTR Axial Yeti XL with thicker tread etc.

I have installed a front sway bar from my losi truggy and I like the way it keeps the yeti nice and level especially when coming off the power when turning. Also had a play with running truggy wheels running 6s and its a lot of fun drifting so that's why I am going to try the proline f11 wheels/ shockwave tyres combo, plus with the proline truggy wheels I had no problem with the wheel nuts coming loose but you do have an issue with ground clearance

They don't look that much smaller unless this guy in this video has done something to the car to make it higher?

This guy your referring to posted 2 posts above. It's Bar Harbor.
I mean his Yeti looks high because of the tires.

It really boils down to where you will be running terrain wise and what you are doing with it. There are a bunch of combos and none that have been posted other than looks are a bad choice.

I ran the HR sway bar but had issues with it pulling out of the mounting holes on the front bulkhead... It functioned somewhat without being fully secured but after a concrete light foundation jumped out of nowhere and I ran into it shoving the HR sway bar mounts through the plastic diff cover. I've removed it until I decide how I want to mount it where it won't pull loose from those tiny plastic brackets or until I upgrade to a metal bulkhead. It worked really well and was a lot more enjoyable of a drive when it was installed though!
