 Glad you read up on the mods and upgrades before you built it. Between the BHB mod, steering and bearing upgrade you should be good to go for a bit. How did your maiden runs go? | |

Have a blast ! I like to through a cloth over the internals to keep the snow out... I also let it drip dry upside down...the servo tray holds water. It can be vented tho.  Quote:

I don't know, but for some reason I feel the maiden run just doesn't want to happen. So cold afraid it could make the plastic so brittle.  Well first short maiden run....and it held up great. Video link below https://youtu.be/0NEmIn_yP_0 I will go bigger next time maybe tonight. Last jump I was kinda in awe and forgot to control it...lol nothing hurt...

Fun Stuff Huh !!! Once 6s is dilaled in its like a drug... Almost impossible to get stuck in the snow... 5$ limiting straps will save your parts big-time! Also a shock tower brace is a great mod ! I've actually broken turnbuckle shock tower supports off which proves their importance to me.

How did you do that? Never seen that before in a YXL. Seen some of the small 1/10 Yeti do it. Go big or go home I guess.

Yes I'm sure the cold had a lot to do with it. But I was also going pretty extreme..just to test it all out. That was a bad landing on that wheel 10 ft up. Good news though tore it all apart and the bhb mod is perfect...and the pro mod Steve pinion cover worked great. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro |
