Axial Yeti 2.0 "Not So RTR" Upgrade Series EP4 - The Unveil!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 жов 2024
- The Axial Yeti 1/10th scale is one of the most versatile platforms on the market in Remote Control. It's a "do anything" type rig and the amount of upgrade/modification parts are endless. In the 2.0 series, I will be taking you on an adventure to see how we can improve the performance/durability even more and change up the looks of the Yeti. I call mine the "Not so RTR" because, it did start out as the RTR Yeti, but it is far from that these days!
Want to see the original "Not so RTR" 1.0 running video?
• Axial Yeti "Not so RTR...
The Axial Yeti 2.0 really turned out great! I have beefed up several areas that had become red flags since running it and the looks have dramatically changed, which shows you how well the Yeti can transform almost overnight!
Please check out the entire series!
That's a good looking truck! Like the body but I would like to see moor of the rollcage, but that's just my taste.
+My RC Tribe Yeah, I plan to cut out all the windows and a portion of the rear bed area to expose some.....just wanted to get it completed!
As soon as you get those shocks... lol, always have to wait on parts, that does become annoying especially when it is a long wait, looks great Rich!
+Anthony Eaglebarger (toysoldier46552) Thanks TS. Yeah, I want a better performing shock in the rear.....probably my most "needed" part right now
The RCNetwork Proline has some decent shocks for most models, my Redcat Racing Volcano S30 had junk shocks on it along with the rest of the vehicle, I upgraded those and ended up doing the aluminum upgrades (which I am still waiting on, I hate mail order parts), for the knuckles and arms which for the life of me I cannot think of the proper terms, but they are part of the suspension lol. I fly and drive so, it gets hard to remember the names of every single part especially being a diabetic, it messes with the memory badly.
Many of us are getting into the Yeti late in the game because we're buying used. There are many upgrade videos, but most of the items used are no longer available and it makes the videos almost useless. I wish somebody (hint, hint) would revisit this vehicle and tell us where to get substitute parts that will work. Bodies and panels aren't out there like they used to be. You might also consider that if we're buying used Yeti's, we aren't going to be buying $120 rear ends!! Budget builds would be nice.
I think in my time, I did 4 fully built Yeti's (First 1.0, this 2.0, KIT version and My U4RC version) and one SCORE trophy truck. One thing you can keep in mind is that anything for the Bomber rear, fits the Yeti rear, and the Exo Terra front, fits the Yeti front (typically). After building my Tekno DB48, I ended up selling my Yeti and Rock Rey - they just needed way too much maintenance and upgrades to be enjoyable and finish races.
looks great!
+humble rc Thanks HRC!
So sick
Thanks Ryan!
great looking truck rick. I can't wait to see running video.
+Victor Pitones I should have running footage in a couple of weeks.....bogged down with work right now
thumbs up looks good!!
+Evolution8R Not quite the Score.....lol
I find that a lot of the videos done were full of expensive freebie parts given to guys to make videos and push parts. How much of what was done was really necessary? Now, a good 1/2 of the parts can’t even be found anymore. Maybe somebody would like to go for the Raptor body, but you can’t even get one of those anymore. On to the next craze.
looks killer man. if youre ever in the Ventura area bring it up, I know a perfect spot that's like a scale KOH area.
+nate emmett Nice! I will
I wish they would make bodies like these for the yeti xl
+TheRudy1629 I agree. Or maybe something like the 5ive T, panels
well can't wait to see what you will do with this one when you get your hands on it. Seems like there are going to be many compatible aftermarket options all ready available due to the yeti, so will be cool seeing some vanquish, hot racing, tekin, etc added to the new rtr. But really would like to see the difference between your not so rtr yeti and this new yeti truck! Great job as always on your videos too!
+T Dactyl yeah, I'm curious as to the wheel base and how unique the body is......maybe the body can fit on existing Yeti's??
Awesome built, it looks pretty cool bro.
+Noeys fastrc Thanks NF!
keep the carter panels, it makes the interior more scale.
+powcar91 Yeah, I probably will. The only reason I would take it off is to save weight up high
That is one hell of a rig. Awesome. Wanna see it running!!! Thanks
+RcNickster Running video will be up soon. Stay tuned!
It looks great man! Can't wait to see it running.
+Theibault Thanks T
I love the yeti chassis....
Good job beating Axial to the punch, lol. Sweet setup and upgrades man!
+REBEL REMOTE CONTROL Not sure if I really beat them....Thanks for watching
Thanks for the honest review!
+YoSneeze Anytime!
Where did you get the Voodo ottsix logo Decals? I have been trying to mask the design on my raptor body..
They came in a pack of the U4 tires a while back - like 3-4 years ago
Can see you cant wait to run that! It looks stunning, and sure it drives so too!
+TOJO RC Yeah, it's that nervous first run thing.....all that work and money and to pull the trigger on driving it makes you nervous to damage it.
Smokin'!
+BushmanofYukon Thanks BoY! I responded to your PM
body came out nice. looking forward to a nice testing vid.
+2cwik4u104 Me too!
You should get the new score yeti! Its a great looking kit
+Z.A.K. RC Already in the plans....
Swwweeeet !! Love it,It looks great,
+andrew richey Thanks Andrew
Hmm.. Really liked V1 - it was Epic . V2.0 has nice upgrades however the Carter Fab work is totally custom on V1. Hope you didnt get me wrong, all your projects are epic..
+GMUMMY Thanks G! yeah, I agree on the CFM panels. They're a work of art!
YEAHH!! That body is A W E S O M E !!!
thumbs up! as always --->
Thanks GABRI!
What a sweet sweet Yeti! ! Just ordered mine! Already got a bunch of parts waiting. I just got to know if you have any opinion on what gearing I should use for the Yeti? I plan to do trail runs, hill climbing and mild jumping. Thank you for showing off this pristine machine!
+Bigdaddyd82 Vapes The stock gearing is pretty decent for that. It's not too fast....
+The RCNetwork
Right, controllable speed is what I'm after here. I don't want my Yeti to drift off the trail or torque twist itself into a yoga pose. I will hold off on gearing changes for now then.
Thank you for responding!
nice video looks amazing as usual. Have you seen the new rtr trophy truck from axial? interested to hear your input and whether you will build up another rtr. I'm curious to see the difference between the yeti and this new truck looks basically like a yeti with a truck body on it.
+T Dactyl Yeah, I watched the video first thing this morning when I got the press release. Axial really has stepped up the game. I Spoke to them right before they unveiled the 1/10th Yeti RTR and they were really excitted about the next 18 months and all the vehicles they were going to release. Of course they wouldn't tell me.....but they really did a great job. As for the Score truck.....looking at it in the video, it's def a 1/10th Yeti chassis (from the roll over) probably with modified trailing arms, King licensed shocks (the blue peaked out) a moded cage to fit under the trophy body and the front A Arms seemed to be different. The rear Axle is probably a lengthened design to fit SCT style wheels (with out the long SLW type hub on the Yeti) The bumper is super wide...almost the width of the body
Do a video if possible on the kyosho tomahawk, that brings me back to being a kid in the 80s when it seemed like every kid on my street either had Tamiya or kyosho and was a constant smack talk which was better. I always had Tamiya, brat, frog, grasshopper and hornet. But always loved that damn tomahawk
O-O incredible
+lacucaracha111111 Thanks L!
I've been talking with Jessica over at proline, see if they will make a Chevy body for the yeti. I told here its Chevy vs Ford, not Ford vs jeep. lol your yeti is looking great. can't wait to see it run and hear what you think of it. I do have to say my yeti is one of my favorite rc that I have. lol
+RCING_4_AUTISM Chieffirewolf Chevy sucks why they don't make it! Ford ftw! =P
+TOJO RC Nice!
see this is what im saying its chevy vs ford. not jeep. my point made lol thank you tommy call me if you need a ride lol
How much are they and we’re can I get one from
Axial Yeti's are going for about $400 or so, but have since been discontinued. The Losi Rock Rey is still available, and almost identical: bit.ly/2VWxF26
Rich, I just bought the Raptor body and noticed my rear wheels get hung up on the body a bit with SLW 600 hubs. I noticed in your prior vid you run SLW 725. Any rubbing or should I get the 850's. THXs
+MaxxPainII No rubbing at all with my 725's
Thanks Rich!
hey man i remember The Durango detc410 are you still running it? :)
+sonny vandenborre The DETC410 is long gone.....but they did announce a V2 recently
Yeah i have seen that on facebook :) new build video? Btw check out vbc racing. I have a vbc touring car and The thing is a tank ;) never broke a thing on it :p
+sonny vandenborre nice. I will check it out
Lookin good!. Great parts there :)... Btw do you have a favorite RC? I'd so then what would that be?
+SoCal Rc Guy I kinda have favorites in each category........d413, Yeti 2.0, EB48.3, SCT410.3
Hahaha ok right on
What kind of wheels are u runing on your yeti
They're the old style Vanquish Products Method 101 wheels
This to belongs on a different website
Sam Houle ??
The RCNetwork reference to rcsparks
The RCNetwork but your axial looks really good. Good work
Sam Houle how did I reference RCsparks?
The RCNetwork not you me
Hi! I'm looking for a crawler/rock racer and I need your help axial wraith or axial yeti?? Respond back soon please and thank u
+Nick Plays Bo2 The big question is the Axle configuration. The Yeti is solid rear, Front Independent. Wraith uses two solid axles. The Yeti is much better in faster speed situations, where the Wraith will excel in crawling applications. You can get both to do either, but thats what they're best at.
may I ask what is the length of the Ford raptor body in inches?
+Alvinly Borgonia 19.5"
+The RCNetwork tnx
