New Axial "working on something fast"

[gbean]

It was too dark in the tent to see but centered ar60 would be great.....

I got a good look at the rear.. not a centered pumpkin. Kinda bummed, but they didn't have to re-tool and make the rig more $$$.

What's the story with this one? I got the wraith, but missed this one. Maybe drop a few clues and let us figure it out, or spill it. :ror:

Yeti = ? ;-)

I'm ready to plunk my cash down but only after seeing some hard specs and good pictures.

OK am I the only one that associates YETI with the Abominable Snowman. When I think snow I think wet. When I think wet I'm thinking wet electronics... Just saying it better be waterproof or it should be called Oxymoron. Idk just saying.

I just hope they have a SC body to fit it!

I wonder about a SC8 body. I just measured mine and its 14.25" WB. wraith is 14" sounds promising.....

and they said it would never happen.

I can't wait to see how they did the front workings on this rig. Perhaps some new sweeeet hi radius uni's and knuckle design. "thumbsup""thumbsup"

We didn't get to look under the body. It has a new 2 speed transmission with metal gears. 4 link rear suspension. It also has an internal weight box , not really sure how that is going to work. New receiver box. Also the body hinges off the back so its should be easier to get to the battery area. I think its pretty cool. Not everyone will like it. For some the Ready to Run will be nice and it looks like it will be under $400.00. Some areas are now running ultra4 RC racing. The Yeti should be ready for that type of driving. RC driver has had one and Big Squid will be doing a review also. So that will give us all a little more insight on it

Rear end...

Is that not a Wraith rearphoto and an EXO front end photo? :roll:

I'm really hoping they improved the front end especially the knuckles and carriers to handle the 2.2's... as well as more steering angle...

Nothing gets by you! :mrgreen:

 

[Twiztid Metal]

Scale wise. Just a bit more ground clearance for an ultra 4 sitting a little low IMO. May change after seeing more under body shots

I like the ride height personally.

 

[sally1800]

I wonder how many people have pre ordered and only seen one picture with no info yet.

I did..;-)​

Re: Axial 1/10 Scale Yeti Rock Racer RTR

You asked for it, we listened.

Requested. Delivered. Introducing the Yeti™, dirt’s new friend.

AX90026 YETI™ 1/10th Scale Electric 4WD – RTR – AVAILABLE SOON!

Looks like Tower is taking preorders already too.

Can anyone tell if these are bead lock 3 piece wheels?

Same as the PSC Wraith beadlocks.

Cool I thought so.

 

[shahram72]

Looks very cool but are they raising the price $10 each time. It's creeping closer to $500 each release. IDK, I think $400 is plenty for an RTR plastic fantastic. Still nice to have something new. But the one pic, why bother. If they are going to show us, show us! I'm not a child and I'm not going to get excited about half a car. Hey, at least it's not a Jeep. Not that I mind a Jeep, but paint stickers and tires are not a new release.

And I don't get the joke with either the Wraith or Yeti name.... throw me a bone?

 

[micro racer]

No, those have the Walker Evans spokes, not like the PSC. I think a pic was posted earlier...

These, already available "thumbsup"
