Axial AX90050 Yeti™ SCORE® Trophy Truck® 1/10 Scale Electric 4WD – RTR

[KRAWL]

I'm going to add(I'll figure a way if not a direct fit) that rear cage to my existing Yeti with my current spare(2.2 vanquish slw wheel, 1.9 Tepador tire). Ive been wanting to set my spare back and down some. Thanks Axial, spot on!

[Dextroyer]

There is a "fuel cell" on the chassis, which should be a weight box since the Rx has its own watertight box in the tub, correct? I know hardcore dudes are gonna be mounting up SSD and Currie axles on the rear, that should help out with the weight. The body does seem a bit floppy, but that is my only real complaint from the running video they posted. People seem to hate all over Axial and their licensing and releases but I bet playing by corporate rules with licensing and dealing with the vendors that manufacture and supply their parts and dialing those in proper takes time and money.

Oh I'm sure the licensing was a nightmare. I knew this rig was coming as soon as they signed with SCORE.

So I guess the main question arises now: Will there be a SCORE type race series coming soon??

The wheelbase is the same as the Yeti, body is longer (compared to SC bodies). Much better proportions this way. In addition, shortening the rear links would have hurt the performance.

I really like the body curious about the retro body listed on the manual and those 2.2 KR2s...

My crawlers don't have a roll cage and took some mighty rolls and drops without breaking. In fact, the SC8e body I used on my Yeti is so tough, I went through two pairs of lexan scissors to cut out the windows. That thing is not going to break.
And last but not least: This is meant to be a "scale" trophy truck meant to be racing out in the desert not in a circle like a short course truck - they drive on flat dirt with only a few bumps and jumps. Maybe you should get a Slash if you want to compete against others on a track...

I do like, that Axial is doing this. There will be plenty of fans and aftermarket parts in the future - just like there is now for the original Yeti.

the spare tire is just going to raise the center of gravity . that's not a real fix for a car that jumps noise down . I hope you did not buy the same scissors the second time . lol !!

I was wondering for wheels as I like the green and blue color scheme and was wondering would 1.9 methods look good and work better for this one? I'm thinking about ordering some goodies and getting it

No 1/10 scale

Also it wouldn't take much to shorten the wheel base just use shorter rear lower links....

[klampykixx]

So if it uses the stock flip back mounts for the rear, in theory it should also be a good body for scx10 builds as well.
I'd like to see it draped over a wraith in the near future also.

[BigStick]

Anyone know if the rear diff is locked or not?

[FloridaCrawler]

AR60 axle so yeah it's locked up.

It says 1/10th but it's way closer to 1/8th . I even had to use a 1/8th scale body ( associated sc8 ) on my project .

I think it's inevitable that we'll see an XL version in the very near future. I was really hoping/assuming their next release was going to be a scale, solid axle monster truck.

[ACR]

As a test, I used the body of the Traxxas Slayer Pro 3.3 also fits the Yeti.

The trophy trucks I worked on were all two wheel drive with a lot of wheel travel. This is neither, I think axial could have done something special with this and made a true trophy truck. instead it's a yeti with a different body and sct tires and wheels.

[adamargue]

I was thinking about this a bit ago. Can you imagine the fit people would throw if they came out with a real 2wd trophy?

Truck looks awesome though will be picking one up "for the kid" lol

Hey Casey Currie said it drives realistic.
