Love the inner panels! Looks great with an exo cage! Three snaps in a Z formation!

DTB1 · 07-22-2014, 12:24 PM

Looks awesome with those panels, subscribed for more info.

OK, now I need a YETI

CarterFab · 07-22-2014, 09:20 PM

We have a G6 this weekend and I'm hoping to also take the 1:1 out to get some good runs in some awesome terrain.
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.

Absolutely loving this look! Centered rear axle makes a big difference, ( you paying attention Brandon?) as do those beautiful VP Method wheels.

What axle truss did you use on the rear axle?

VP truss we've always build with on our housings. This is the same housing we've been running for nearly two years, just keep moving it from rig to rig

Richterat83 · 07-23-2014, 07:37 AM

LOVE the interior panels exposing the tube work!

and curious to see your thoughts on the sensored brushless (or if needing the 2speed is necessary)

gsrcivic · 07-23-2014, 11:13 AM

Love the panels when I jump on the bandwagon this will be a must needed upgrade

utieh · 07-23-2014, 11:16 AM

Yeup, those panels make it look like a proper U4 rig!

CarterFab · 07-23-2014, 11:30 AM

The test panels have been fit and adjustments made. Off to production.

Price on said panels?
That is the best looking improvement I have seen for any rc.

No price discussion here. There will be a vendor thread created once they are released, they are also being added to the new products section as parts are released with links to our website for purchasing. We don't do any offsite paypal sales anymore for normal production stuff, it's too hard to track and keep inventory.

Played with SLW hubs and our Method Wheels from VP.
We were running .350 up front and felt we had more room so we swapped in some .225 hubs.
Here's a stock width Method wheel on a .225 hub

Here's a Method wheel with a CFM 1" TrueCan on a .225 hub

And here's a Method wheel with a CFM 1.250" TrueCan and .225 hub

The 1.250" wheel does have brake rotors installed which allow the wheel to clear the lower caster block bolt. It would clear without the brake rotor but you would have to grind off the exposed threads of the screw.
The other two width wheels did not have brake rotors and you would be able to drop down to .185 hubs.
The .225 hubs give me a 12.250" track width at ride height.

SteveC6R · 07-23-2014, 05:56 PM

So a Method wheel, .225 hub, 1" can with a rotor will clear with no issues?

STANG KILLA SS · 07-23-2014, 09:10 PM

is that a threaded hinge pin with nut? is that stock? is it fully threaded? or just the end?
what a terrible place for bulky hardware/a nut.

any idea if its the same size dia as a traditional e-clipped hinge pin?
