Messing with Sasquatch: CFM's Yeti

[tedo]

Wheels are glue on, 1.250" bead. Hopefully in machines by end of week and that would put them in my hands early next week.

Perfect. Please put me down for a complete set of white mesh ones!

And how does 33 grams per wheel sound on the Methods?
Stock plastic beadlocks are 40 grams.
The "holes" wheel comes in at 38 grams in standard production version.

Awesome... Finally a simple glue on wheel that is bigger than one inch wide, delrin, lighter than stock, and officially licensed. Can't wait to get some.

What will the cost on the wheels be?

Can't talk price in here. We will put up an appropriate thread for the wheels once we get to that point.

Finally got our WB8HD driveshaft retainer rings in stock and will be available this evening.
We've been running a prototype version for 3 months and haven't had a shaft failure since installation. These work on any Axial WB8Hd shaft.

Any updates on the wheels?

Delrin chips have been hitting the floor

Interested in the wheels as well. I'm about to pick up a yeti this evening and would like to make a big order with you guys for the steering upgrade and aluminum body panels. These wheels would be the icing on the cake.

Aiming to have the first small run done this weekend. Have a lot of projects going on as well as keeping up with demand on other production parts at the moment.

With delrin will you still be able to bake tires off and the rims be fine?

Debonder works good!

Got our Icon rear shocks in yesterday and built them with variable rate pistons and 20wt oil. We also used the medium length rod ends. I'll probably swap out rear limit straps now that I have the proper length rear shock to not limit any travel from the bypass shock.

Your Yeti looks great, what did u use to get anodized gold off Axial hop up parts? Also the rear shocks is one the stock and the other the new Icon just both deanodized?

Media blasted the upgrade parts with silica/glass bead.
The front shock is a stock Yeti shock that I machined to a smooth body.
The Icon shocks come polished like you see.

They look amazing, Clay. I'm excited to see these on some rigs.

Here is the second wheel option we are making. Same dimensions as Method Mesh wheel.
