Default The RCNetwork's Yeti Build!

Well, I have dove in the ice cold pool of Yeti ownership and have a brand new RTR in studio and starting an ultimate build! Here's a quick look at some of the parts:

I will snap some pictures along the way, or you can check out my videos on YouTube as "The RCNetwork"

Looks like the same packaging as the universal shafts just above them. Curious.

I'm testing out the Hot Racing version. Just test fitted them this morning and they're perfect with the Vanquish knuckles.

Here's a pic of the Vanquish floating locker, Hot Racing HD diff spur and some Schelle Racing bearings


Here's the locker sitting in the new housing


All pretty with no grease yet!


Now closed up and ready for business!

Heres the Hot Racing motor mount and plate. Super nice and fits perfect!




Here's a comparison of the Hot Racing Steel Spur Gear with an Avid Racing bearing in the center vs the plastic bushing on the stock


Now all put together!

Now for the MIP rear driveshaft. Still waiting on parts for the transfer case, so just the test fit.



The splines should be fully covered once the truck is suspended.
