Built the rear cage, mounted it to the body only to realize I need to order new body mounts.... so I used the old style scx body mount to know how big the holes had to be up front. That way I can adjust them later when I have the right ones

Took the yeti out after all the new mods for a descent shake down & it passed with flying colours. Used 2 full battery packs (3s) doing hard/medium runs & abit of crawling.

Happened yesterday but finally got the body mounts in for it so I made the front holes fit better. Also discovered that if you run Losi offset short course wheels, they don't fit horrible and seem to have plenty of clearance. Now just need to wait for the box from tower to replace the tini pins in the front.

I think I got the toe settings figured out. went to my local shop and get another set of traxxas rods with ends that were shorter. I don't have any fancy setup gear so eyeballs it is.
gonna test it out today when I get home from work.

next on the list is lights and DIY body panels.
maybe some 3D printed driver heads. not letting the cat out of the bag yet but its gonna be an awesome duo.

I've run a few 3s packs and so far I'm impressed.

Yeah i got somemsteering uhh... stuff to iron out. Servo is slow as all heck making it a handfull to control even with rtr esc and motor. Its got all vp steering links but the spring is weak and absorbing steering force from the servo. Sloppy slop slop.

But! Alignment is great! But... gear mesh sounds like its off. More noise than usual. Might be from the rear as its now plastic making it sound different?
Might be best to just crack open the trans. I havent done tht since i bought it used last year. Yikes.

Oh and i just finished painting my radiator. Tamiya aluminum silver with some gloss clear coat. Shiny!

Comfirmed! Destroyed the only gear left that is still plastic... the spur. Even after adjusting after my last post, it was way off only like half tooth engagement. So gave it more and tightened everything down, sounded much better just whirring brushless awesomeness.

Then, today hitting up some hiking trails in mission hills with my son piloting his barrage and me blasting around with the yeti... it does what it do.
Rrrrrripweeeeeeee no more spur.
Odd. It was driving like a champ. Maybe driving beforemwith half engagement warped the pitch and it slowly killed itself?
Well for $7 at rpp im not gonna cry about it. Just the downtime sucks lol

Yeti is seriously like the rc version of the hulk haha

Oookay... opened up the gearbox and... spur gear is fine? But whats this?
The pinion gear has backed up inside the motor mount like a scared turtle!!! Buaahahhahahaa!!!

So the yeti lives on! For now...

Oh and for poops and chuckles, i put the axial giant fog lights on the front bumper. No leds just decorative. Or... explosive?
Almost mounted the radiator but... nah.

In an attempt to finally get more speed and make it actually have down travel at ride height, I ordered a castle 1415 2400kv motor with mamba x esc, 35 and 45 wt shock oil, 70mm axial red springs for the front, 90mm axial white and yellow for the rear.

The set up I found uses the white in the rear but I think it was for a regular yeti and mine is currently a tt

Out with the stock TSX45 servo and in went the Futaba brushless servo. Its a nice fast servo and i also got Vanquish CV's installed. Next is a brushless system to replace the stock Vanguard system.
