Default UCFab U4 Yeti

The kit had just been ordered, here are the first images of the frame Kyle is building.





So far here's the list of parts I've ordered:

Wheels: Voodoo U4 tire / CI Deuce's Wild foams / CI 6 bolts wheels/ VP hubs
Transmission: RR slipper (64T)
Rear suspensions: UCFab trailing arms and upper links
Rear axle: VP locker
Steering: VP steering rack
Misc: T-bone Racing chassis skid
Electronics: Savox SC-268SG / MambaMax Pro

I'm planning on ordering soon a 3000kv Pro4 HD and a Castle 10A Bec

Next mods and parts are knuckles and C-hubs, RPM arms, a second pair of Icon shocks for the rear, an Axial motor mount and front arms mount and a VP centered rear axle

This woke me up this morning and pulled me up from my hangover


and also this


Started with the axle and the front gear box



Front suspension and steering


Installed the servo (sorry for the crappy iPhone pictures)



The main transmission, which is still not mounted because the main gears do not move very freely when I tighten the case's screws, it needs a rebuild


I used an old MIP I had laying around to link the front GB to the transmission


Wheels


Shocks, rear one need a rebuild too, can't compress fully


That's all for now, will continue tomorrow.

Which front springs are those? Traxxas obviously, but what color and size?

Wow indeed!
