@Brake -- I'm thinking they were worried locked diffs would destroy the plastic gears. That's the only thing I can think of. I'm more disappointed in the motor choice. A 40T 380 motor seems like it would be painfully slow, but maybe I'm wrong as I admittedly don't know a lot about smaller scale RC. Steve |

| Re: Axial 1/18 Yeti (and Yeti Score) biggest problem is the 2in1 RX, if you ditch that it should be simple to go brushless, just need to make sure the servo stays mounted. unless them made this thing a heavy pig like the yetis before it, it should be fine with plastic gears if they are well designed.

But I still see that little rig can be fun in a unofficial "1.55 comp" class if enough people get it around here. | |

If it'll stick around long enough for the aftermarket to make the metal parts and lockers then it could be a fun RC. As it is now it's barely above toy grade. I'd rather have this one: http://m.banggood.com/HBX-12891-112-...p-1101815.html |

I assume the limited quantities is to test how popular it gets. As far as the esc/Rx combo, yes Imo its annoying, but also comon on anything smaller than 1/18. It's nice having the compact size. If there is room I'll probably drop in a GT3B RX and a mamba micro. I doubt it will be considered competition for the Ambush or even the RC4WD mini gelande. Even though it's 1/18, it looks a little larger. I'm intrigued so far. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk |

Couldn't help it, had to order one. This little thing looks like a lot of fun and I'm liking all these smaller scale trucks coming out. I'm already psyched to start upgrading it. |
