Yeah it's something like a 200mA charger

The stock battery is a 1200mAh I think so you could charge at least at 1A.

Is it usual for the rear axle to get warm while running or do I have a bad bearing??

I would say bad bearing or too tight gear mesh
Open it it's easy

I’ll look into the gear mesh, the backlash might be tight, if not I have a bookmark for the fast eddy bearings or the stock rear bearings part number

Well the new plastic diff cups and spider gears lasted for one 2s pack.
My 4y son did a single 12inch jump and I heard the dreaded clicking again...

I will try the new axial aluminium locker in the front.
We'll see in 2 weeks (Amain shipping to the lost far away lands of Canada...)

Pretty sure it's too big.
Like fitting 1.9 wheels on the yeti Jr.

I put 1.55 MT/R tires that are about 1/2inch taller than stock and it's almost too big.

I just think it would look cool, and it would have good flotation. If anyone on here has the traxxas traxx could u put them on and take pics, I would be very interested. Also Someone needs to make 1.55 tracks

Full metal drivetrain (Steel rear axle shafts, rear locker, driveshafts, Steel front CVDs)

Aluminium upper arms, trailing arms, front arms with c-hubs and knuckles, Steering rack, steering links and rear shocks.

Hobbywing 1060 esc
Full size Low profile servo (Solar D770)

It's missing new tires and wheels but this is where options are limited.

I used a silver sharpie pen and painted lots of markings in the Jr.

I even did the nuts on the plastic wheels before moving on to the aluminum beadlocks

I tried the GPM front shocks but they have shorter travel and suck

Use the stock front shocks but stuff the rear Springs on them
