Soo, I am getting myself a Yeti kit

Got most of it sorted out, but not completely sure if it is good enough to get me started.

I plan on running a sensored setup:
120A sensored ESC with drag brake
3750kv 2-pole sensored motor (550 size, 65mm can)

Also, I have a servo lying around from my Stampede 4x4, will that be good enough?
10.2kg/cm - 136 oz/in, 0.12 sec

The rest, I'll just upgrade on the go, run it stock first

You want 4 pole for the weight of the yeti and a servo with at least 300oz.

Agree with the above. I have tried 540-550 size 4 pole motors in my yeti and I must say I'm very happy with my 1/8 scale motor from hobbyking.
Turnigy 2350kv sensored. With a MMP.
Good for up to 6s for the fast bits and still crawls great.

Then i'm going to start a search for a good 4-pole sensored motor, they are pretty hard to find here in NL
Sensorless, can buy everything I want, sensored barely anything if they sell sensored it's for 1:10 touring.
Overseas is pretty expensive due to customs...
so I try to get most in the LHS or EU stores.

I guess it's this one you are using?
Turnigy TrackStar 1/8th Sensored Brushless Motor 2350KV
That motor has a 68mm can according to the specs, I read that 550 size motors already are a bit on the big side for the Yeti.
Then how did you get that 1:8 motor to fit?

Also looks like it probably will come to life on 3s minimum?

This is the motor I was looking at:
Turnigy TrackStar SCT 5.5T Sensored Brushless Motor 3750KV (550 size) (EU Warehouse)
Combined with this ESC:
