Yeti xxl hybrid
[HR][/HR]So I like doing things a little different. I also like to build large scale lately. This build is no different. I using Traxxas 3.3 Revo parts, Summit parts, HPI Baja parts, Hitec 1/5 servo and a custom frame of my own design. Money is tight at the moment so this build will be a little slow. I do have a lot of the parts already so it shouldn't be to bad. The Axial Yeti cage will be about the only thing that has anything to do with the Yeti XL but it will look like one when it's done, sort of.
Here are some of the parts being used
Hitec HS-5755MG steering servo
Summit 2 speed transmission
Summit front locking diff.
2 Traxxas 2065 micro servos
RPM revo arms
Traxxas aluminum hop up parts
1/5 Proline trenchers/RC4WD Dune Reapers
Traxxas Rear diff spool
3.3 Traxxas aluminum chassis
HPI Vorza Motor mount
Leopard 4075 brushless motor
Axial Yeti XL roll cage
Rampage XT front bumper
Summit shifting links and mounts
HPI style 1/5 bead lock rims
SkyRC 150 amp 6s speed control
And a hole bunch of custom parts.
Rubbing is Racing.

I just ordered the micro servos as well as the Roll cage today. The Revo rear wing mount, I ordered 2 days ago. so I do have some parts on the way. The custom frame is cut already and I made the custom drive shafts also. I have the chassis as a roller and when the Roll cage gets mounted I will build the Custom lipo trays so that they fit as they should. I will mount them with the weight forward so that it is a great climber.
The picture above shows the HPI Savage 24mm wheel hex adapters that are needed to use the 1/5 scale rims. They work slick. I have tall narrow tires that will set this build apart!
This is the bomb proof motor mount that will be in this build. it lays the motor on the chassis, so the weight is as low as possible.

It took me 1/2 hour to figure out how to mount the back of the cage to the body post of the revo mounts on the chassis. I'm using a broken drill bit as the hing pin for now. So it works and it doesn't stand out. All good things in my book. I took some pictures of the Desert Buggy with the Yeti to give you a idea as th how big it is going to be.

I'm going to stay with the stock Summit dumper for now so that I get it done in a timely fashion. I will do something custom later.
I will pull the lights out of the rear bumper and install them in the roll cage rear light bar.
I also have the Slayer Pro bumper on the way in case I like it better
