Thank you for that bit size. The technique I get. I was just afraid drilling the hardened steel would smoke a drill bit. I will get 2 or 3 just in case. | |

| Re: Axial 1/18 Yeti (and Yeti Score) I'm a gear mesh nazi and had no issue obtaining that necessary slightest little wiggle between each tooth. I noticed that it was easier one way over the other, meaning that I had the pinion on the "top" part of the spur versus the bottom. I think that was the orientation I was using. I can't remember exactly. Too many cars, too many unique situations. Just got home with a new Kraton that I'm about to slap a mamba monster x setup in and bad lands max 38's. Hopefully this will tide me over till I get new rear axles for the Jr.

I haven't typically seen issues with the servo on larger rigs doing that. We run competitions all the time outside in really cold temperatures, and that's not common. For the smaller stuff though, I don't know. It is more likely the plastic tie-rods losing some flexibility, and not pivoting on the ball as easily. Try a small dab of grease in the cup, and see if that helps. | |||

I think one way we can get a sub-forum is to have some new threads started, rather than keeping everything tangled up in this thread. (And it will help be able to find information easier too...) I started two other threads just now about the servo and esc/rx issues and replacements. Feel free to post in those threads more information on the subject. Also, start a new thread for your rig, build thread, etc. It will need to be something that complies with the "tech section" rules, but with enough new threads, the forum mods will have no choice but to start a new section to keep this section about the 1/10 Yetis. |

I saw at my lhs they had losi single pinions (mini) and those had a bigger pinion screw. Amain shows 10, 12, 14, 16t choices: https://www.amainhobbies.com/losi-pi...FQYPaQodCIkBMQ Robinson also sells 2mm/.5 mod from 12t-23t and uses 5-40 pinion screw. Will .5 mod work? Seems like people run them on there mini-8's with 48p spur. Edit: got the losi 10t pinion in. Edit #2: 10t pinion with tiny pinion screw backed off within a few throttle pulls so I picked up losb1861 10t for 2mm shaft, pinion screw is M3x3mm 1.5mm head. Much better.

i just looking around planning parts i can put in after stock setup, if its available here in germany/europe. and i just found this little motor. would this motor fit and would it be appropriate for the little yeti? TrackStar 380 Sensorless Brushless Motor 3200KV https://hobbyking.com/en_us/tracksta...or-3200kv.html Motor KV: 3200 Max Current: 20A Max Power: 154W Recommended ESC: 45A Max Voltage: 11.1V / 3S Lipoly Case Length: 37mm Case Dia: 28mm Bolt Hole Spacing: 16mm and 19mm Shaft Dia: 3.17mm Total Length: 51.5mm Weight: 86g cause of the bigger shaft it would also solve the pinion problem |

| Re: Axial 1/18 Yeti (and Yeti Score)
so I know its a odd question but comparing another 1/18 rc how does the yeti jr compare to the losi mini LST? and how strong are those plastic out drives on the diffs cause that was the biggest issue with the mini LST was nuking the inside of the diffs.

I've been hammering on mine for a couple weeks now, stock motor on 2s, and after countless tumbles, crashes, cartwheels, flips, you name it, nothing has broken or even become sloppy. I'm impressed with its durability so far. Really, I thought for sure I would've broken something by now. I'm still loving my electronics choices too. Hobbywing Quicrun 1080, RTR Bomber RX/TX, and Hitec HS-85mg. I really really want a rear locker for this truck. It gets stuck on everything.

Just feels like the truck is hit and miss ...Mine lasted five min on original servo and now this , it's fun yes but definitely not as durable as it should for the price. Got new parts on order from eBay and new servo from axial under warranty. Once fixed it may end up on eBay cos as much fun as it is it's not worth enuf at least to me and the braking parts that may come next. Just my opinion. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk | |

Well the mini LST wasn't known for its servo's either though I've been able to crash it head first into a curb an only bend a front dog bone! But my biggest concern is drive line how well the out drive ends of the diffs hold up and the gears they attach to just seams like they'd strip teeth off. Are the satellite gears in the diff assembly metal or plastic like the outer end gears?
