The RCNetwork's Yeti Build!

[Zombi]

I think I'm going to have to get some. I have ordered a CBE RC Fab shock mount tab, so I might also get the rear versions of these shocks too as they'll be mountable. The only thing that bugs me is the reduced amount of travel compared to the stock shocks. It's 43mm versus 32mm by the looks of it.

Do your stock rear shocks leak? I have Axial ally caps and still get it happening (on both front and back).

Well, I decided to do a full rebuild on the Yeti "Not so RTR" fix a few things and update the looks with some newly released items. Here's episode 1 of what I'm calling my Yeti 2.0. This episode covers the new Vanquish Currie Anti Rock sway bars, Vanquish Caster Blocks and an STRC hinge pin holder/skid plate

Love the 2.0 look. Looking forward to your rear shock choice!

I've been chasing set ups for the rear and I'm not I love with the axial shocks, especially when you see the prolines up front!

How did you already get a set of the rears in your grubby little hands? Guess I need a youtube channel too. LOL

Like you say at the end of the video, BUTTER .... Proline rear shocks are awesome, did some quick bashing and the yeti felt great. I'm sticking with 20wt. Best part of the Proline rear shocks, they came with the HD shafts (threaded with a nut, no e-clips holding the shaft like the front power strokes).

Yep, super smooth. 20wt was the key for me too.
