| Yellow Yeti
I recently picked up an unbuilt Yeti kit in the classified section from one of the site's long-time members. This one came with a bunch of aftermarket parts including: Proline Bug body RPM front A-Arms UC FAB rear lower control arms Vanquish bulkhead/gearbox Vanquish front skid plate Vanquish front caster blocks Vanquish front knuckles Vanquish front shock tower Vanquish front shock relocation bracket Vanquish motor mount Besides the goodies that came w/ the kit, I added a MIP rear drive shaft and replaced all the plastic pivot balls with metal ones. The stock lower link reinforcement plates were repurposed for the upper links and almost look like they were meant for them. Even at maximum pre-load the rear shock springs seam kind'a soft. I'll give them a try and have some firmer ones on hand case they don't work out. I wanted something fun for the paint scheme, it's a Bug after all! I also picked up a set of no-name eBay alloy beadlocks. Tires are stock for now. |

Looks good! I wish I could find one. I think I missed my chance. One point to note. The pinion angle is off on the rear axle. It should point at the t-case just under where the drive shaft connects to it. See if there is some way to lengthen the upper arms. Did the kit come with metal or plastic uppers?

Congrats, she's a good looking build! Your first serious test drive will put a smile on your face without question. Take it easy on the jumps until you have a good balance and perfect shock set up. Something I learned from experience, the Yeti is a fun to drive beast, its my first choice for bashing. ... Enjoy!!!
