thanks for the info, most appreciated, It has also been suggested i look into an axial Yeti, or a bomber. So i am also looking into those to rigs as well i do see that the yeti comes 1/8 scale kit. witch im thinking might be better for one i have the motor and esc for that scale already (good thing i haven't sold it yet lol), lol. big plus right there and was told it i was more of a basher type than a rock crawler. thoughts on this kit? light upgrades right off the bat that should be upgraded, have 2 3s packs so will be running it on 6s probably get a couple more though. so it appears 1/8th scale is were i was ment to stay, lol which is fine bashing is in the blood.
thats ok like i said im still researching it and getting all the info i can before i purchase a kit, congrats on the new job.

i do see that the aftermarket parts support for the yeti xl really isn't there vanquish only has like 4 things available and 2 are out of stock and one is a grease lol. lots for the 1/10 scale but again would have to buy a motor and esc. torn again, lol.
