Default Need help identifying parts on yeti I picked up

I traded my wraith for this yeti today and I don't know what most of these aluminum parts are. The hub carriers are the only product that is marked and they are STRC.

Also, the top of the servo saver is stripped in the steering. What needs to be replaced to fix it?



Any help is appreciated. It's dirty and needs some love. Please.











And it looks like stock motor and esc. Is that the stock servo?

Oh wow it's got this huge metal spur gear in it, too



The gear mesh has no play. Are these 3mm caps that hold the motor down?

They are twisting like crazy. Do you know where to get balls for them?

Stock motor and esc yes. Not the stock servo. If the servo saver is stripped I recommend you replace it with the upgraded dual sheer posts, VP or STRC.

Wait, where am I?

Thank you. How does the dual sheer pins replace the servo saver? Aren't those separate?

There's quite a few options depending on what you would like to spend. Steer clear of anything that has the brass ball retainers.

The double sheer post doesn't replace the servo saver. The post is what the saver mounts to. Guess I assumed that was what is stripped out. If it's the little screws that hold the saver together you may need to get a new saver. I bought the strc steering assembly because it came with everything but the posts, which I ordered also.

It's the screw hole where the steering link from the servo attaches. I guess I need new servo saver

Most of the high end rear links have replaceable rod ends.

I got a nut on the end of a longer screw through the servo saver but it's still mighty crappy. It was fun on the baseball field, though

This sensorless motor and esc combo is crap. It got hot fast on 3S. It cogs like crazy at low speeds, too.

No, I'm not. Mostly bashing. But it still gets hots and cogs

I run fans on the esc and motor. Check your spur gear tooth count. Looks like your pinion is 15T. Might need to change your gearing to stay a bit cooler. Also make sure nothing is binding or causing excessive load on the motor, check the gear mesh.

I did fix the mesh when I got it. It was tight. It spins free now. Where do you get your fans?
