Default Differences Between Axial Yeti RTR and Kit

Last night I began working on my Axial Yeti Kit. Now we have all seen some of the advertised differences, however there is more! While assembling the kit I found a few other little easter eggs.

Advertised upgrades:
Falken S30 Tires (New compound, feels great)
Method Beadlocks
Universal Axle Shafts
Aluminum adjustable turnbuckles
Rear trailing arm reinforcement plates
Hardened heavy duty gears
Icon Shocks


Other differences I have noticed to this point in the build:
The front bulkhead on the kit version is NEW. It is noticeably different from the RTR version. It has a finned pattern on the side and the material also feels harder.

Kit version:

The steering posts inside the bell crank system is aluminum and comes with bearings! We have seen this already from Vanquish as an aftermarket option but now it comes standard with the kit.

I traded for mine and not sure when it was purchased but it has the BM bearing upgrade but no ribs. One of the machine screws is almost stripped and I did notice the plastic is much softer than say my wraith plastic

So are the new tires even softer than the R35 compound or somewhere in between R35 and rtr compound?

The compound is in between the RTR (S40) and Sticky (R35). They are calling it the S30 compound. It should help keep the ballooning down a little and have less tire roll. I would say it's going to be their "Race" Compound and the R35 with be there "Rock" Compound. While the RTR will be the "Like a Rock" Compound

Shocks come with Machined Delrin Pistons, not parts tree crap.
Shock caps and collars are still unvented parts tree crap.
