Messing with Sasquatch: CFM's Yeti

[SteveC6R]

What are you using for the rear upper links?

[Fingonunny]

O-o this stuff is great!

[Rudukai13]

OH ok now I see how the quick disconnect works. That's awesome, I want one!

i was wondering how well the stock brushless vanguard did while doing slow crawling through the rocks even though its not sensored?

Slow not well. With some speed, okay.

They are straight titanium links from VP with Jato Rod ends. The Wraith links work with Jato rod ends swapped in place of the Revo rod ends. Yeti links are .730" longer than Wraith.

When will the lowers be avalable

[CarterFab]

Probably a month out on the fabricated trailing arms. Lot involved between cutting plates, machining back bones, and welding up.

Another cool pic from Ruel.

[CarterFab]

Mars Rover?




So much for that so called Yeti Killer

[Richterat83]

Made the rear sway bar links to match the front link kit. Need to take pics and get them added.
Also got some backbones cut to be machined this week and get the first sets of fabricated trailing arms built up.

Please let us know when you get those trailing arms done, I just ordered my Yeti!

We now have a fleet of Yetis here locally.
Our local club president and I also met with our local Offroad park to start negotiations on what will hopefully be a centrally located U4 track, scale loop, comp crawling site, and TTC completion area. First meeting went very well and we should now if the land is ours for development in the next couple weeks.

With our Yeti, the goal is to build a rig that is Good, not Great, across the board.
I decided to swap out the ESC and motor to a sensored system.
In the spirit of not spending money, I robbed the system out of our Wraith, it will be going back to a Holmes 35t TMPRO and SV3.
This system is a Castle MMP, Castle BEC, and Tekin Redline GEN2 17.5. Also dropped down to a 13t pinion from the stock 16t. We will use the 2speed trans option later to deal with speed and we can volt up if absolutely necessary.

How do u feel the redline is working? I'm not looking for axle breaking power.( been there with the 1.1 and swaped back the straight 6) just looking for a fun motor for all around. Thanks

It's working fine, on 4s it will really move but not quite as fast as stock. Run it on 3s for the majority of the time.

[CarterFab]

Scale KOH Back Door action.

With the popularity of the Yeti, I believe there are 12 in our club now and more showed up today at the hobby shop, and the growing trend in U4rc, CFM and ETXRCC are bringing racing excitement to East Texas and surrounding areas.

We have secured land for track development at Barnwell Mountain Recreation Area, BMRA. More details will follow soon. We have two more meeting a scheduled this weekend and construction should begin in the next two weeks.
