I'm only running on 2S but I didn't notice any issues. It seemed to handle as well or better than with the open diff. I was scared I may bend something putting it in a bind but it held up well. I have the stock dogbones in as well, seems too many people are bend the universals.

Besides running 4 packs with the only issue being wheel nuts, I finished my radiator. I have seen a few mounted but I am not sure how to. Is it a custom fabrication?

Ran the track that a friend an I built, has dedicated rock sections and large open sandy turns and straights. Recently purchased a 3s and trying to adjust to the huge difference from the 2s that i have been running before. Started work on cutting a ProLine 73 Bronco to fit and make into my bronco buggy yet, pictures will be posted once it is donei. It is beautiful outside today so i may take the scx and yeti out to the track and drive them for an hour or so.

Well I traded my old yeti off and regretted it, thankfully there were a few in the classifieds section.
Old yeti



New yeti







Pretty solid setup came with this yeti:

After market roof not sure of the brand. Thick plastic that resembles powder coating.

Fully operational lights with the desert multicolored light bar in rear, headlights in the buckets and a vanquish light bar that operates on the main battery pack.
Radiator in the rear and a werty bumper on the front. Nice!

Limiting straps on all four corners, aluminum shock towers with Vanquish links and trailing arms in the rear.

Vanquish steering rack, bearings, posts, and links in the front with servo saver eliminated.
Strc knuckle and hot racing chubs.

Vanquish slw hubs bolted to CI wheels mounted with voodoo tires. Freaking sweet!
Stainless hardware thru out.

Robinson racing spur turning mip rear drive shaft and axial drive shafts to a locked front diff. HD under drive gears front and rear.

Included also was a Gens ace 3s 5000mah battery that just barley fits in the stock location.

I had a waterproof savox 1210 waiting for it when it came in also a metal servo horn. I also wired up a castle bec to make the servo happy.

I adjusted the suspension some but need to get a heavier weight set of springs for the front.

Don't know if you have mounted it by now or not, but this is how mine is mounted.





Radiator mount is screwed to the frame, then the radiator mounts to it with the bottom 2 screws.

Switched from my Hobbyking 120 amp ESC and Turnigy 4850kv 4 pole to my MMP and 2350kv 1/8 scale 4 pole motor.
Much better low end, and I can run 4s for speed.
Really happy the yeti fits the huge motor in stock form.
