Re: Exclusive review of the Axial YETI AX90026

Thank you for all the great pictures. What is needed to convert to a two speed trans beside a servo?

Bigger bearing yes!!!3

John, any pics with the steering at full lock?

Unfortunately I don't have any studio shots of with it at full steering lock. However I think I found an action shot with it at full lock.

They should have solved this with solid tie bars from side to side as most others. One other thing is the plastic links. Why on earth didn't they use steel turnbuckles? This looks cheap, and I'll bet there will be an upgrade kit they want us to buy. Looks like they've also stuck with the sloppy plastic ball ends. They just plain SUCK even for slow scalers, imagine how great they will be on a much faster car...
For you haters, look at how Traxxas has done this on their cars. At least it _looks_ far superior compared to this, and I do know the Slash takes some major impacts without problems.

I'm not too impressed really, but we'll see when you guys start beating on them.. :-)

I'm sure VP has already got those weak parts in the hopper, seems to be the way these things work.

Might have been brought up already, it's a big thread, but this pic shows an open front diff yes? One wheel pancake from different rotational speeds?

Twin Scammer?

B,

Looks pretty sweet. What was the target niche for this new rig and key characteristics that define it vs the Twin Hammers?...ie buyers guide on how to decide which one to buy.

Cheers,

J

Re: Exclusive review of the Axial YETI AX90026

Alright enough messing around. I think this is the best image I have with the steering possibly at full lock.

Not only did Brandon design this rig, he shot these photos while I was having fun driving all day! Thanks B!

Psshh! It was all the driver! He was just holding down the trigger trying to not fall asleep cause he didn't get his nap in earlier.

Re: Exclusive review of the Axial YETI AX90026

Looks factory ready to accept a dual rear shock setup as well.

And that steering throw looks far better than any Exo I've seen.

Bugger.... Not quite big enough for my wallpaper...:cry:
