the fugly yeti
 

i kinda screwed up and picked up a extremely ugly yeti roller from ebay theres almost no information in the description snd it looks beat but its cheaper than building 1 new axle so why snot ill figure some thing out to do with it pics when i get it in my hands

i ordered a newbright raptor body for this rig ill need to make some custom trailing arms and pick up a longer driveshaft im hoping to run some 1.9 tires and wheels if not ill go with some short course truck tires im hoping to build scale raptor/dune runner/desert truck more of a go fast then a crawler

this rig arived today its not nearly as bad as i thought it was just muddy most of the rig looks brand new it just has some horable paint all over it the a arm pins were both bent and it had extra long rod ends on one of the upper turnbuckles but theres almost no scratches on it anywere not even were i would exspect there to be like the bottom of 5he axle or the front skid plate
heres what came in the box

That doesn't look nearly as bad as you first described it! I gotta run my Yeti again. I just haven't had the chance to get out to the Dirt track to run it.

i know right a good wash did wounders for it the ebay pics were horable but figured there would be some usable parts on it but from what it looks like as of right now i can use everything i almost want to keep it a yeti but i dont ever use the big yeti so probably wont ever use this one i have a fully i dependent short course wraith and i hardly ever take it out so i figured ill build a scaller i might toss some electronics in it and take it for a spin before i completely tear it down



the body looks red in the pics but looks pink in person adding to the uglyness i think they used crapie paint and its flaking off already so it should be easy to clean upnif i ever decide to do anything with it

Re: the fugly yeti
 

well i striped it down and this is all im gona use from this rig
