RCWERKZ Im liking your setup and think Im gonna take the plunge and get those shocks. It looks like a simple replacement with no modifications to make them fit? Any changes to the suspension since your video or have you pretty much finished tuning it? Does this look about right for the front shock: https://www.dollarhobbyz.com/product...nt=10907307841 And rear shock: https://www.dollarhobbyz.com/product...rear-rc8-89047 Last edited by mtr1514; 04-11-2017 at 08:54 PM.

^^^ The roof rack looks good on the bug, but I'm thinking the body might flex a bit better without, and be less likely to break. Just a thought!

^^^OUCH!!! I did some parts research to get ready for a yeti rebirth into a bug. Hope I don't destroy my new body when I finally get it out. How big of a crash was this from?

I did two things.. First I ran over something at full speed in a field next to my house, since it was nearly dark and my trophy truck is kitted out with some lights it looked like a flying saucer spinning in the air. Then I had probably my longest walk of shame ever.. I'm calling it an honest 400ft. or 350, it was out there lol Last edited by Mountainsofbeer; 04-14-2017 at 06:23 PM. |

Got myself some Proline Dual Stage 2.2 foams for my Yeti. Left 1 hole open in the stock beadlocks. From super squishy to nice and firm. Handles so much better! Have some Proline Powerstrokes and supplies for the Yeti hinge pin mod coming next. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk |

I glued my first tires ever following URCs old video instructions and it worked! Here is my first bash video, check out the HobbyWing MAX10 SCT esc working with the stock vanguard motor, its a good combo feels smoother and more responsive than the stock castle plus it doesn't get hot. (the motor still can though). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evw7USoUvWE |

The HW MAX10 SCT is awesome. I love mine. Cool, responsive and cheap. I just started gluing the stock bead locks and tyres myself...I got sick of putting them back on the beads every third lipo. Quote:

So HW makes a matching brushless (and sensorless) motor in 3200kv that they say works well with the max10 and enables you to use the temperature limits in the esc/motor. They call it 3660 G2.. If I somehow break the stock Castle (vanguard) motor my plan is to replace it with that. I thought I wanted to upgrade it make it faster, but as I soon found out when you get into any sort of real terrain going 40mph is fairly useless. So staying around the same KV rating keeps all my pinions and spur options relevant still. I've got 16,17,19,and a 20 tooth pinion now lol. Last edited by Mountainsofbeer; 04-22-2017 at 09:17 AM. | |

I swapped in a 23T pinion with 60T spur. Cracked all my kit wheels. Then broke and lost front right axle. Then the stock yeti rear driveshaft disassembled itself. Also had this nice ratchet sound. Rear diff ground some teeth into a different shape. I had an oillite bushing back there that one of my shims bored itself into. Also bent both rear axle shafts. I need to get new foams, wheels, and front shafts.

Kit. I just wanted to see what it was like. Too fast with the stock foams. I learnt how to handle it eventually. I have a set of CREEPERBOB's titanium axles for the rear and a MIP driveshaft for the rear. I ordered DLUX's front axles for the front. I wanted to order new front and rear diff housings that have been bored for a bigger bearing but they were out of stock. I need to order those foams everyone's talking about and some new wheels. Motor is a HH 3500XL on 3S, the car covered 300 feet pretty quick, I turned the steering down to 60% of travel otherwise it would just flip like crazy.
