so this counts as a yeti and a Twin force!

hey guys, some of your have seen this in the first iteration as a 1/10 ST with a solid rear axle.

since that wasn't the most fun basher i figured i'd slap a Yeti body on the thing. also put some panels on just for the time being.

it started off as Kyosho 7.5 buggy, then i build the TVP's and attached a double short sided Twin force axle on the rear.

its got a MMM 2650 on 4s. and went like a bat outta hell with ST tires. i havent had a chance to test out how these Roc Lox go, but should be fun.

i need to do some changing around of some things on the inside to try and get the interior back in the thing. the TVP's sit up a little too high but here she be.

here are some pics.

heres a little update. i switched the ring and pinion to a 10t 43t instead of the stodk 13t 43t. gets me a little more low end. really i need to get a lower KV motor too.

i also put a spool in the rear, and filled the front diff with some 1200000 weight diff fluid. now the center unspools to easily, so time it crack into that as well

also put some of the stock yeti tires on there. they are harder, and a bit lighter/smaller than the RockLox, so should be a tab better on the drivetrain.

anyway. the driving was a bit more squirrely with the locked rear. so i think i will keep an open diff on hand to swap out when needed. only takes about 5 minutes to put another one in.

here is a quick video.

Nice. I would love to have a Yeti XL but I think I could build a better rig like you have
