Yes, the ID of all the bearings in the new knuckle are the same. They should bolt in just like the EXO.

Can we also add (either in this thread or a new one) a recommended upgrades list (or highlight the existing list). I know it'll be depends t on what you want to do, so let's say first recommended list is for durability or common bad parts out of the box.

Just a thought now that more people have a yeti.

I'll do a beginners guide like I did for the Wraith, but I want to give it a few more weeks at least until I have as good of a feel for the truck as I can. "thumbsup"

Would a Tekin ROC 412 3100kV motor be compatible with the Yeti's stock ESC? I'm guessing no because I assume the ESC doesn't have a sensor port. Did I answer my own question?

While it would work, you wouldn't get the benefit of the motor until switching to a sensored ESC. I am running the ROC 412 right now but I am planning on switching that out soon. Hopefully by this weekend I'll have a new system installed.

Will you be switching to a pro 4 HD? What kV?

Could you measure the outside dimensions of the fuel cell? And would a MMP fit in it?

I've been meaning to get that done! I'll knock it out tonight.

I was watching your video last night of locking the front diff and was wondering if you had tried the 100,000 wt diff oil and if so how did it work on it?

I ran with Jason and he filled his diff with a very heavy silicone, probably more like 500K. It worked pretty well, but for me, locked is the way I plan to stay.

Can you get the rear upper link eye to eye please?

Gonna run that Dlux u4 truss and rear housing, but the truss typically needs a Jato to lengthen the link to fit on a wraith so I'm gonna need to make some tlinks o fit.

5.75" I'll add that to the list.

Adding the fuel cell dimensions now.

Fuel Cell, also adding to the front page.

These are rough but good enough for just about anything you guys probably need at a high level of planning.
