Gunder463 Yeti On The Way.

[gunder463]

Well managed to trade off a tuber for one, and it should be on its way soon, sooo, i wanna ask what are the must have upgrades and what not. i want to start getting stuff together cause the fun part for me is ripping stuff apart lol.

Hmmm......well let me tell you what I've replaced on mine within a month.
Vanquish hubs (factory stripped)
MIP drive shaft ( snapped atleast 10 plastic ones)
HD Ring and pinion
Steel rear differential cover
RPM lower arms
Axial titanium front links
Axial titanium rear links
Aluminum steering rack
Vanquish double sheer steering rack kit
Vanquish knuckles
Servo stripped on me today.

I beat on mine pretty hard. All the links and steering upgrades I got to tighten the steering up a little as its a little sloppy. The main things I've broke are the hubs, stripped ring and pinion, stripped spur gear, busted a arm, and the driveshaft has been the worst problem. I got some hd traxxas parts and pieced together a rear shaft and I snap them like crazy too. Just put the MIP rear shaft in today to take care of that problem. It's a money pit. But it's a fun money pit. Oh yeah, I've replaced the wheels and tires too. Stock tires have a problem with coming off the rim. I glued mine and they did awesome.

I'm just the opposite here... I locked the front of mine up and since I've broken one traxxas differential output shaft and bent both of the traxxas CVD's up front. While the stock rear driveshaft hasn't given me one problem... yet. (I am underdriving the rear though)

1- Slipper/Spur gear, Revamped them
2- VP locker in the back
3- Rear lock outs, plastic to aluminum,
4- Rear Truss, wanted aluminum so i went there,

6- shock tune and spring tune were in oreder so did that all around,
7- 4 link mounts
8- Front shock tower
9- link mounts

[gunder463]

[gunder463]

kinda finding this thing disappointing, where the hell can i find the two speed gears anyways? it says it supposed to be built for high/low speed gearbox, well what are they waiting for.

[gunder463]

[gunder463]

23 seconds later and the rear truss broke and the rear drive shaft. so back to aluminum and time to fix this horse shit driveshaft.

[gunder463]
