Put steering knuckles on it and lock them out with some toe in.

Great video. Just one queation. What's the top speed? Kinda hard to tell with the slow motion and the varied terrain. All of my bashing spots allow for high speed and are very large, so I can use all the assets a vehicle has to offer. It looked like high 20s, but there are so many different variables I can't get a realistic eatimate. Heck, it would be great to see one next to a twin hammers or running both at the same time. I think the larger size may give the impression of a slower speed, we all know how that goes!

Any room to narrow the width on this thing with hexes or hubs without running into interference in the front? That is a potential deal breaker for me. Still thrilled that Axial is putting this thing out there no matter what.

Are the skinny jean wearing minions the ones that built and designed this thing? Like college educated super smart boring engineer types? I always thought it would've been some badass inked up gruffly lookin dudes that would ride home on Harley's and crotchet rockets....

Machined screw's or self tapping throughout? Curious if Axial decided those self tappers are poop.

@ 3:47 is the skinny jean wearing lead designer of the Yeti. He's a great kid but nerdy as all hell. From what I was told is that Axial wanted to hire him right out of middle school at the age of 13 but since he wasn't of legal age to work in California Axial had to become his his legal guardian which he was ok with because it finally got him out of the orphanage.

I think it's probably still self tapping as it has deeper threads to bite into the plastic. Same reason VP used 4-40 on the SLW hub... deeper thread engagement.

I have done the slash/scx10 setup on my wrexo but it would be a ton cheaper if they made a specific kit fot the exo and the driveshafts allways hit my shocks when mounted in the stock position onboard the a-arms. A set with those dogbone style thinner shafts like is also available for the slash would be a winner IMO

yes deeper but less of them and they back out so easy.

If so, they could try to pull a "Tamiya" with those bizarre ingrish names, say "Barmy Badger"or "Rabid Badger" orr..ehrmm.. "Bangin.... Err.. no,
"Ragin' Badger"?

Something sweet? "Bouncy Badger"? Would fit that frilly pink/blue paint scheme

Nah. I really prefer the "Yeti" name. I do not associate "Badger" with the ferocious Honey Badger, but with the rather shy and tubby badgers we got overhere.
