Default New guy here from Kansas City (first post)

I've been lurking on here for awhile now and decided to finally make an account. I've been into R/C for a long time now, from planes to boats, cars and trucks both nitro and electric.
My buddy got me interested into crawling last year and I'm hooked now. First was a SCX-10 Deadbolt but wasn't keen on going slow like I though I would so I sold it and now have a Yeti 1/10 kit that I'm in the process of building with a ton of upgrades already.

Here is the first parts delivery before I started building


A little ways into the build here


Getting closer


Driveable now just had it out and I definitely like it better then the Deadbolt



That's it for now but more parts any on the way.

Welcome and nice start. If you haven't done anything with the stock rear shocks, ad that to your right-away list. The stock rear springs are way too soft, especially if you put the spare on the back of the cage. You can either pick up some firmer springs or swap out to something like Pro-Lines or RC4WD Kings.

Thanks, Yeah I'm looking into the rear shocks just haven't decided on what to do yet. Thought about running the axial 2nd shock set without springs maybe.
