So here it is out of the box. I'm focusing on the things that are different vs. the original Yeti RTR, so if you want to see naked chassis pics, go right to Axial's website. They take better pictures than I.
Firstly, it's substantially larger than my "10th scale" Associated SC10.
No comparison shot, but a couple inches longer and maybe an inch wider on the body. Definitely taller. It's a big truck, but dimensionally, it doesn't seem like they skimped anywhere to make it fit on this chassis. Everything looks correct and proportioned nicely. I'm going to focus on the details of the body, as that's what's really different here.
A nice interior, with two vacuum formed drivers with separate heads.
These plastic add-on front louvres not only look cool, they appear to be functional.
Great molded front grille and light buckets. The decals really set off the depth.
Great looking rear cage and tail lights. This lexan body has a lot of detail molded into it and the additional bolt-ons really make it something pretty special.
A look at the light buckets. Lots of room for lights.
Blue shock bits to replicate Kings, and licensed. Not the same level of detail found in the RC4WD licensed ones, but these need to be a lot more functional at speed. Let's see how they hold up!
The front bumper seems a bit flimsy upon initial inspection. It also has a bunch of holes which look like mounts for more lights, or perhaps there's some new light pods coming out? Same thing on the rear roof spoiler.
Here's look at the tires vs. a typical 10th scale Short Course truck tire.
I'm pretty stoked to get this outside and give it a good run. Stand by for video!
