Its been great to sit down and work on the yeti's today. Been installing some upgrades on each and more to come little by little. It was just what the doctor ordered to relax and chilli.

Working on one of the yeti's one upgrade at a time. One day this one will be almost bullet proof.

I installed a VP rear diff cover after breaking the tiny hole inserts in the plastic cover. I finally ditched the Axial plastic beadlocks and glues the BFG RTR tires to a set of Crawler Innovations 6 Bolt 1” wide wheels with VP SLW hubs. I reused the CI DD foams I’d been running for years. I had purchased the 6 bolt wheels back in late 2015. The new wheels run much more true than my thrashed beadlocks did. I made a spring spacer for the steering rack to reduce the slop, it seems to have done the trick. I fired up the Castle link and changed punch control from 25% to 50%, initial battery draw from low to medium, and set the BEC from default 5.1 volts to 6.0 volts to speed up the MG968 steering servo.

I have a set of the Voodoo U4 Silver tires and matching DD foams, but I haven’t decided on wheels. I was thinking some metal beadlocks, but the 1.5” wide 6 bolt may be the way to go for reduced weight and cost.

I need to replace the rear axle shafts again. I’m running a dlux AR60 plastic housing with aluminum beef tubes. I have an incision spool and Axial HD 38/13 years waiting to install. Can anyone recommend which shafts would be better, Locked Up or VP? It looks like the locked up might work better through the beef tubes, but which is stronger?

Today I beat the crap out of the Yeti until the rear driveshaft let go. I was in some muddy/snowy conditions and my new front shield inside the body kept it from becoming a complete mess.

check your lockouts, loose ones could cause axle bending. if you use stock plastic lockouts, i would change to clamping ones or get a ssd wide centered axle (never bend a axle) or alternatively modify the stock ones to 4 mounting screws (top button front rear)



did this with mine




before i changed to the ssd axle....
