When you say "front shock absorbing bumper", does that mean it doesn't smash flat after a few impacts like the EXO? Do you think anything from this can be used on the EXO front end?

Think of a Slash front bumper with the round hoop that absorbs all the impact.

I'm pretty sure he said it was all locked. Might come that way.

Sweet write up John. Potential buyers should rest assured that if it made it through even 15 minutes with you at the controls it's definitely tough!...

Because, "Badger knows how to flog a rig, real proper like"...

Hey badger I just read your review but saw no mention of the 2 speed? It sounds like it comes locked in 2nd gear? You have any imput on this?

R/C Bashist 06-18-2014 07:09 PM

Re: Exclusive review of the Axial YETI AX90026
 
Great review, few questions:

Sounds like a really good basher, but how does it crawl?
Where's the battery located? Front or back?
Does it have a similar transmission to the Wraith? Can you swap the two?

Yeah, just saw it. Looks to be faster than I thought it was going to be, even in high gear.

fourxfunk 06-18-2014 08:11 PM

Oh man, I'm getting excited about this one!

snicklefritz 06-18-2014 08:32 PM

Re: Exclusive review of the Axial YETI AX90026
 
Need more details! Is the motor sensored? Can the esc hook up to castle link? Will it fit a decent size 3s, like a 5000?

I like the improvements they made for easy access! Can't wait to see one first hand.

I don't know about the battery, but that's an EXO front end, and AR60 rear axle.

You are correct, it comes with a 2 speed tranny locked in 2nd gear.

Wow it does look like all the weight is up front it should do pretty nice on the up hills.
And I tough it looked like a truggy. He'll no.

Why is locked on 2nd gear? Would it be like that at release?
