First thing needed are better front a arm pins, and sleeve the arms. This is the weakest link up front. If the arms flex and bend pins, the aluminum Bell tank won’t make a big difference. I sleeved mine for about $6.00 , a 1’ length of 3/16 SS tubing, and the pins. McMaster Carr sells 12.9 hardened pins Hang up and Drive |

lock for some springs for the shox to play with. a lot of your list you also can get from eu stores. i'm not quit sure if the receiver fits the tx. an alloy shock mount isn't a bad idea. and out of your list maybe if u want look for some blink Gesendet von meinem T1-A21L mit Tapatalk |

Correct about the Power strokes , you need a spring kit, preload springs are all the same colors, it’s the length of the primary springs that make you buy more ! Hang up and Drive |

Why? I thought everything needed was included in the 2-gear kit? Got that. 3/16 ss tube has been ordered, forgot it in the post above. Last edited by Antsiranean; 10-09-2017 at 12:27 AM. | |

i use the axial 2-speed without a servo saver. i think the servo saver is maybe needed for the ssd 2speed option. only need was setting the end points correct. for the front shox get the 70mm blue axial spring better than the 54mm. i ditched the pro line xt shox, cause with the provided springs they are too soft for my liking. i use the kit icons with dual spring setup (2 54mm springs) the needed spring connector (or how u will call it) is in the kit parts.

| Re: Picking Yeti parts, please help and suggest Seems they won't. Had no idea. Thanks a lot for pointing that out. Away goes that receiver, which I was just about to buy. Guess I'll either get a BEC (to run my servo on 7,4V) or a Futuba 3PV transmitter.

I do recommend that you coat every bit of non-stainless metal in your kit with Corrosion X or Fluid Film before taking the rig out and getting it wet. | |

| Re: Picking Yeti parts for "Snowman", please help and suggest What colour springs do you use for your dual rate setup? Could you post a picture of it? I'm quite curious about it. What do you think about performance compared to kit stock shocks?

http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axial-yeti/567606-yeti-alllg%E4u-my-little-monster-post5542631.html and the springs are out of the hotracing 54mm set and the icon plus the 700cst work great. the front set up is easy just blue 70mm with 500cst works great on every surface i drove so far. rear is very depending on surface, weight, drivestyle aso. that why i bought a few sets for playing around., which sets i got you can find here A Yeti for the Alllgäu or my little monster Hope that helps.

Thanks! Your Yeti seems to be of the "been there, done that, and have the scars to prove it" kind. Very informative thread of yours. I might eventually copy your shock setup. Reading it, again, and reading up a bit more on electronics, I have now decided to go with a FlySky GT3B and an external BEC, to provide my steering servo with 7,4 volts. It's cheaper than getting a Futaba 3PV with its' 7,4V capable receiver, and if I get a Y-harness (This one), the wiring shouldn't be very complicated. Goal of this weekend is to get permission from my wife to order the Yeti kit - I still just have a bunch of upgrades, but no car. Pathetic, I know, but this is an aspect of marriage that sometimes requires rather intricate verbal work to get what one needs (and wife thinks is ridiculous). Wish me good luck. |

you can't use the y harness to connect bec servo and rx. better get this one if you want to simplify your wiring. RX Bypass Adapter With Auxiliary Output - Wiring & Wiring Accessories - Electronics & Wiring thx glad if my thread helps, i'm still new to this and learning. but i'm very good in breaking things |

Right! They look deceptively similar, I didn't look close enough at the wires. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

While waiting for the kit to turn up, I have started sketching on the body graphics. Could someone please measure the dimensions (length x breadth) of roof, side "panels" and hood? That'd be most helpful.
