Fanatics Baja Yeti

[Fanatic]

First " Real " rc car in 20+ years and first attempt at a lexan inside out paint.
Highly used Axial Yeti built for local U4 racing.
Thanks to all the builders here for unspoken advice , ideas and direction... and for helping me spend 2x the purchase price of the RTR !

Dont know if I've ever seen this idea.
The black paint on the roof is actually on the outside of lexan, idea is... as the body inevitably gets beat up, rolled and scratched up it will reveal the checker board pattern applied to the inside of the body, giving me something to look forward to as the body ages instead of cringing every time it flips , gets landed on, crawled over...

[Fanatic]

The guts...
Ill make a detailed list of used hardware but its all the good stuff found here . All I know is it works and I can get thru practice sessions, bashing and occasional race without breaking ... much.

The checker board idea is awesome! Love it.

Thank You Guys, should I post a list of pieces and parts ?
Extremely durable set up.10 packs 5200 3s 50c and zero breaks.
Time will tell how well the checkerboard idea will work, all I need is 100 roll overs to see if I did right.


Still to do...

Pro Line Shocks all 4 corners
Install Axial simple light kit
titanium axles
Holmes Motor combo
MIP or SSD driveline.. any suggestions on whose is better?
Castle BEC
finish install of STRC Limited Edition Red hardware
Scale touches and some 1/10 diamond plate accents
Vilnyl Numbers and finishing touches.
replace Integy Carbon Rear trailing arms w/ ???

Nice build!

regarding trailing arms, i have the ssd on the way.
if i would change my driveline, what i won't do, i would go with mip. but i think both mip and ssd are a good choise.

I have the stock set up still, added strc aluminum spline and cups and its taken all kinds of punishment, no need to replace till broken, i like the look of ssd but mip seems to be the brand of choice.
