Ballistic17's Yeti to Cbercfab YetiX Build

[Ballistic17]

@dna4engr The lock-outs fit so tight I had to tap them on to get them all the way on. No slop in them once on. I would guess the VP chubs would be the same but don't have any to try. There seems to be a lot more beef where the screws go in. Snugged up nice and tight. Guess we'll see how long they stay that way once I start running it. I used loctite on every screw to.

@mrhobby100 The inner bearing is bigger then stock bearing. The new size is 5x14x5mm and the old one is 5x11x4mm. The outter bearing is the stock size.

Got the VP V2 rear housing in tonight. Went together great and everything fit nice and snug.

The RPM ones are stronger and thicker then the stock. Less flex in them. Haven't bent any hinge pins since swapped out.

what's the part number ?
thanks

Here is the part #RPM70472. It's the same as the Exo Terra buggy a-arms

Got a set of Pro-Line Pro-spec shocks to run.

So the shocks? I like your idea. My big wonder is the length of the rears. How long are the rear shocks compared to the stockers?

Haven't assembled them yet but according to Pro-line's site they are 100mm. But with my Cbercfab Yeti tabs I will have many different locations to get the right setup I like.

Finally got the Pro-Line Pro-spec shocks on. So far they feel pretty good. Going to order the spring kit so I can fine tune. Front seems a little soft right now.


Rear...

Fronts...

So a little update. Was out running the other day and the steering bell crank broke. So when I was tearing it down I figured it was time to do a big upgrade. Since I'm a Team Cbercfab member it was time for the YetiX conversion. So I ordered all the parts for the conversion today.

 

[Ballistic17]

Started getting all my parts for the Slash front end.

Now I just need the Cbercfab stage 1 kit and reassemble it all.

 

[Ballistic17]

Got my shock guards installed. Should help protect the shocks.

 

[Ballistic17]

Received my Cbercfab YetiX stage 1 kit today. Now to tear down and rebuild.

 

[Ballistic17]

Got most of the Cbercfab YetiX conversion done today. Still need to do some fine tuning but that is all. This kit went together very well and all the parts that were made fit great. This kit was well thought out.

Does it provide any benifit to the steering?

I would say about the same or just a little better...
