It's nice to see a few people who aren't smitten express their feelings politely!
So many just seem to want to point out every possible flaw and attack the yeti before even driving one.

No weight box for me please, just more power!

Building your own Custom Rig is Better then buying one out of the Box
My two cents

Sweet job on the review Badger!!! I can see the driving style is the same from Axial Fest RTX and Yeti Bashing. Full Throttle FUN!!!! Brandon awesome job with the New Yeti!!! I freaking love it and can't wait to get one.

You and I both know.. Building them is a blast.. But beating the $hit out of one out of the box is a much more fun

I have a Friend that has one pre-ordered and i cant wait for him to get it so i can check it out first hand then i will deciede if i want to buy one!

And then this will be a $1000 car. It's not directly comparable to the Yeti, but look at what you can get from others for around $500-600. Fast, durable cars with generally high specs.

Many of you might see me as a flamer now, since none of us besides "the chosen one" has driven it yet. But from the pictures I'm not overly convinced this is a bargain. But as mentioned, we'll see when you guys start beating on them how durable they really are.

I see what you mean. Alot of plastic to change out but then again kinda what is expected from axial. It's not a race kit.

ROLANDROCKSHOP

Pre ordered mine lastnight!

Great job on the review...


Cant wait to see what bodies will fit..
and whats gonna be made for it by all the vendors/manufacturers.


Nice job Axial!

Now do a 1.9 yeti...

Without commenting on the Yeti itself I am excited because of what this says about Axial Racing as a company.
They listen to their customers and earnestly want to bring them what they want.
They know they cannot please everyone everytime but they sure got a lot overwhelmingly right with the Yeti!
Yes I say this before even handling one. (I was lucky enough to peek at it in person @ Cisco Grove last weekend though. )
After meeting many of the nice people from axial... Raymond, Scott, Brandon and Christine, I am confident Axial's interests are in the right place. It is hard to feel that way about most companies for me.

Thanks Axial. Keep the good stuff coming.

I know a lot of people are hating on all the plastic, but it's not all bad. My EXO RTR took a serious beating, I replaced a few parts here and there but nothing really broke that I couldn't say was my fault. The MTB and bmx jumps take their toll after awhile, there were many jumps that I lined up that I knew could end the day. Surprisingly I never broke the plastic toe blocks, I did manage to bend the pins from time to time though.
Anyway, the point is the plastic can take a beating and most people shouldn't "have to" upgrade it all before the first run.

I'm not gonna get it right away, but instead see what everyone else thinks of it and what upgrades they put on. Or wait for a kit. Just gonna have to wait and see!

Thanks for all the info and GREAT pictures. Time to start saving up for one .

Ty@Tekin

Give me one example of an RTR that is "perfect" out of the box.


I'll wait.

As a Jeep fan I'm a little disappointed it doesn't have a Jeep body.
