Just got a new to me Yeti kit. Has RX8 gen 1 esc, sensorless skyrc toro short course 1/8 motor & stock gears. I'm thinking I'd like to go sensored for more low speed maneuverability but still keep that speed with a 2s or 3s batt. Would a 412ROC be a good choice? Thx for any input, just getting back into the hobby, a lot has changed since I was a kid!

I would (and did) go with th Pro4HD 3000 over the roc412, I've geared mine 13/64 and zero cogging, smooth as silk. Fits with no trimming, sensor and all

I had the pro 4hd in my yeti. Lots of power. The low end was smooth as butter on a cracker

Plug your sensor wire in then drop in your can. No trimming will be needed

Saw on castles site they have a 2400kv sensored motor to go with the new mamba x esc that would probably be good in a yeti

Mamba x is waterproof except for the fan Im pretty sure. you do however need a special sensor wire with the MMX that you can buy from castle

Holmes Hobbies sells it in a couple different lengths instead of the castle one that just converts a reg sensor wire to the special MMX one-

5.5"- Sensor Wire 5.5" for Castle Mamba X Series - Wiring & Wiring Accessories - Electronics & Wiring

10.5" - Sensor Wire 10.5" for Castle Mamba X Series - Wiring & Wiring Accessories - Electronics & Wiring

the fans have little bushed motors so no real issue with water.
I have the monster x in my yeti and it gets wet on a regular basis
the fan is still fine and working, just a little wd40 after it gets wet
