Axial 1/18 Yeti (and Yeti Score)

[Pabust]

I said over three years ago "I bet someone will make a 1/10 side by side" Shocked it hasn't happen yet

There are 1/18 sxs's but no motor on them though:

Add steering and a motor and that will be a fun toy

If fits I'm really serious.
There's no reason why not. The idea is go fast, make a little devil!
And the the power can always be controlled with exponential throttle and some other esc configuration, gear down...
I use 1/8 scale electronics in my Yeti and Bomber 1/10. 1/10 electronics in a 1/18 will be so much fun![/QUOTE

I hear ya, I too use a 1/8 castle setup in my Yeti Score and it works wonderfully but that is 10th up from 8th. We are talking 18th to 10th, big difference there. Anyhow, no doubt it would tear ass but likely tear its own ass too.

cool... but an 18th scale wraith, bomber, or scx.... hell yes.

hopefully thats on the horizon if the mini yeti sells well. which im sure it will.

The Yeti must be Axial's proudest achievement. That's why it got XL status, Score morph and now Jr.'s. Little do they realize how many of us want XL Bombers, Wraiths, SCX's..... and now the Jr's too.

Fanboys will be lining up like a new iPhone release.




Although I want one of each, too.

That's the fun part. Find the limits of the car.

Oh man, this is something I can get behind! I'd love a Yeti or a Wraith, but I am tight on space, so a Yeti Jr 1/18 is right up my ally! <strike>Do we think it will be as fast as the standard yeti or will it end up on the slower side of things? </strike>

Nvm - read a few other posts.


HOW FAST CAN WE GET IT TO GO!?!?

The Black Yeti score truck looks like the Armma product or it looks like the 1/18 HPI EX something not right..

yes, that's a Nero Big Rock

 

[rustneversleeps]

yes, that's a Nero Big Rock

But did you notice that it says Axial underneath it.

 

[magic_yeti]

the yeti score jr makes no sense in my eyes. cause if you look close it has no solid axle in the rear like any other yeti.

Yes, 2 days ago at post 15....

I like how they show a Nero for the score jr listing

so you've got such a keen eye to spot that it had independent rear suspension but couldn't spot that the truck itself is an Arrma Nero Big Rock?

that what i'm saying body says AR on front and hpi wheels...

 

[JatoTheRipper]

Nobody has any more info yet? This must be a teaser to prepare us for a holiday release or possibly early next year.

For the record it looks like the Yeti does have IFS and a solid rear axles. The picture for the SCORE truck is not correct, people. That's an Armma truck. Mistakes happen.

 

[Lavaheadache]

That is what I've been saying to these people since the 1st page. Reading comprehension for the win
