awesome hardcore bashing for the yeti xl, but the rear end is a bit uncontrolable on 6s....my opinion is that this car is not really made for 6s bashing in mind....on 4s lipo not only drives better but it will have a lot less dammages and problems over time....great video guys, thanks for sharing, big thumbs up!!!
Ive had mine for ~3 weeks: exploded stock spur and pinion and burned out the stock ESC. FYI IF you have an XL, the stock ESC is a rebranded Castle Sidewidner V8 which is rated for vehicles up to 11 POUNDS ONLY - XL clocks in at 12.75 without batteries! After I burned it out I swapped it for Mamba Monster 2 1/8th scale ESC and its magic. So if you kill ESC on your Yeti XL, buy yourself a Mamba Monster 2. Dont replace it with the AE-4 from Axial.
Even better than that first video...shame the driveshaft broke, otherwise *IMO* the other breakages weren't too bad for what you've put the thing through. My driving is completely opposite of your videos but I've thoroughly enjoyed mine so far as well, and I guess running mine on 4S without doing massive jumps means it should be much better off lol. I've broken a wheel so far though off a jump, that's my only break so far after 7 sessions.
thanks bro! and very true...the truck was put through so many jumps..and it lasted a very long time before something broke. Still planning to do another video sometime soon.
Nice video man! - the yeti xl is not in my RC budget (not even close ;) ) so I'm having to live vicariously through folks like you who can afford one! - lolololol!! It's very new so I'm sure the rc community will come across some flaws or weaknesses in the platform (no RC is without its flaws) but from the looks of the videos I've watched, it performs like a beast and, imho, is the sickest looking vehicle that is out there I'm not the type that gets jealous of other people's things, but I'm jealous as hell of those folks who own a yeti - I'd be proud to own either the 1/10 or 1/8 - but, imho, if I sprung for one, it'd be the XL for sure happy bashing to all!!!
very nic bashing video! That exact same bearing imploded in mine & chewed up the front diff housing which causes major problems. Gpm makes the best diff housing as Hot racing has pinon mesh issues?
I sold mine two weeks ago. Don't get me wrong.. It's an awesome truck. Durable and fast. My Xmaxx Is pre-ordered. By mid December I will have it. Unless u want to wait and check back with me to see my videos of it.
J kes...i m running the same setup on my yeti. With so much torque and very soft front and rear springs that beast wants to rotate on its own axis. I too have broken shocks and split the drive shaft. Upping the pinion gear and swapping for harder springs all around made a world of a difference.
Hi. Quick question. How did you correct the cars trajectory while it was in midair so it landed perfectly? It would be useful if I knew how to do it so i don't keep landing on my back tires and do a back roll
I just got a yeti XL I am having a hard time finding Lipo,s that fir the battery box. I have had to get ride of 2 different batteries now. what batteries do you use? I only want to run 2S I just found onyx 8000mah 35C soft case that the width is 43mm. all the other batteries I have tried have been to wide.
Awesome video! But question... why does your yeti have a capacitor looking thing near the ESC? I bought mine about a month ago and it doesn't have that.
yes i agree...but i had gotten this right when it was available. Now they made the kit..to make it more stable. sway bar, better shocks etc. Thats my next upgrades that come in the kit.
Dragan Radovic torque twist causes that, wondering if sway bars would correct that issue with this truck, I'd hate to drop 700 bucks and not be able to fix that problem.
AB Palacios would sway bars help keep all 4 wheels on the ground? I seen a lot of 3 wheel action and Axial is calling this a monster buggy, not a crawler so idk could have changed the concept for this truck, it does come with monster truck tires I see on their website.
You think if you mirrored your transmission and motor that it would help with that retarded torque steer? And is it just your skill or does the xl not nose dive on jumps? Your the best jumper I've seen with the yeti
Man a lot of those issues aren't even respectable for a 700bucks RTR... 1st the Yoke issue just screams "Yup this is the kind of RC you might wanna disassembly and locktite and re-tight everything before using". 2nd That bearing! I swear my EXO had load bearing issues always! I always destroyed my Rear Bevel Diff Bearing after a Hardcore session. Seems that the undersized bearings is still a thing for Axial and holds true for the Yeti XL. 3rd that Shock Cap.. Well the RTR does use an alarming amount of Plastic for a 700 bucks car, The flex of the front plastic turnbuckles is still present. 4th Plastic Shafts... My god the E-REVO again. In conclusion.... Get a SAVAGE FLUX HP.. Don't look back! Might not be the same kind of RC but For Gods Sake the Yeti XL feels like a car released just too early under production.. Too much money to fix stuff it should have come standard with.
salut a tous, je vient d'acheter un yeti xl et je trouve que les forum en Français sur le yeti sont assez rare, donc j'ai ouvert une page Facebook sur le yeti ...( yeti xl et autres RC parlons en ensemble ) venez nombreux discuter RC. au plaisir de vous voir nombreux ;)
I've had my Yeti XL less than a month. Had to thread lock the pinion gear. Smoked the servo. Broke a front diff bearing which ground up the gears and broke the front center cv shaft. Anybody wanna buy a Used Yeti XL?
I knew his shock would break everybody jumps shit with there shocks set week those springs are very weak as is and the oil is too light its jarring like hell when you jump it
The best Yeti XL video I have ever seen. It show's how much it can take and that's what I like to see in a video
Just got a yeti xl and i love it! Thanks for showing me the capabilites of your truck and your unbelievable driving skills... You've got me stoked!
a High Quality Bash..!!! excellent Video!

Another great video of the XL. You really put it to the test. Nice job!! Keep it up!
THE most impressive Yeti xl vid on YT
Wow! Thats cool video! Why I didn t see it before?! 👍👍👍
Very hard bashing. That´s bad to the bones ;) Awesome video, thumbs up !
Nice video, the yeti xl is a beast. Waiting on parts as well. I tore the right front wheel off when a wooden pallet got in the way.
Time to up grade to stainless bearings! It looks like a lot of fun, that your having!
Best rc ever! Keep the yeti love going
Big big fan of your vids man, totally AWESOME !!!
Thank you bro!!
Like they say : If it ain't broke, you're not bashing it hard enough :)
I totally agree with you! Definitely!
Did it ever break?!
Alexs RC Corner 8:12
Oh wow last I watched I did not see that the vid ended. No clue why
Awesome video☑️
Awesome video! You gots skillz! Imagine how badass it would be if you could fix the torque twist.
This buggy is absolutely crazy! :-D
That thing is a beast!
Awesome video!! I have got to get one of those.

So tempted to sell my savage flux hp for the 480 yeti after watching this amazing video. Sweet Challenger too!
Lol thanks bro!
Awesome! That thing goes :)
I like your vids also very much as the others already said!
Keep up the nice work!
thank you bro!
torque twist is just insane ;)
+Zount Master what would minimize that? Sway bars?
yup
That was awesome ! Loved it ! I liked and subbed !
Swwweeeet,I Love It.great Video.

happy bashing to all!!!
That Yeti is very durable based on what you are doing on this video
Killer vid, good job
Another Epic Video!
Asplenia.
Awesome rig mate cool vids
My yeti xl is down right now. Broke an arm doing to many jumps. And my rear bevel gear is going out. Its all about hard bashing!!
Nice I just picked mine up yesterday.
awesome video makes me want one
It’s sad how much hate these yetis get. Still love my xl
Not bad at all for the type of abuse you submit this thing to! Seems very durable! Nice videos too!
Awesome video subbed!
Nice bashing bro
cool vid
nice stunts bro!!!;.-)
very nic bashing video! That exact same bearing imploded in mine & chewed up the front diff housing which causes major problems. Gpm makes the best diff housing as Hot racing has pinon mesh issues?
Just got the yeti xl and i cant wait to bash it until i break it!!!
Awesome!
I am planning to buy a rc, The yeti xl look good or wondering should i wait for the traxxas x-maxx. What do you think?
I sold mine two weeks ago. Don't get me wrong.. It's an awesome truck. Durable and fast. My Xmaxx Is pre-ordered. By mid December I will have it. Unless u want to wait and check back with me to see my videos of it.
+AB Palacios , many thanks for your advice, i am looking forward for your X Maxx video :)
+EnzosToyRoom not sure if u saw my xmaxx video.. If u didn't.. Check it out on my page. Going 8s In a few weeks.
How that thing raises right front wheel like that? Seems like unstable car..
J kes...i m running the same setup on my yeti. With so much torque and very soft front and rear springs that beast wants to rotate on its own axis. I too have broken shocks and split the drive shaft. Upping the pinion gear and swapping for harder springs all around made a world of a difference.
What's going on with the front tyre it's like it's heavier that the others
Hi. Quick question. How did you correct the cars trajectory while it was in midair so it landed perfectly? It would be useful if I knew how to do it so i don't keep landing on my back tires and do a back roll
MaxPlays EA depending on the way it launches.. Brake to lean forwards, or throttle to lean backwards.
I am getting this with 2 2s batteries do you happen to have a deans splitter to connect both batteries (a durable one)
Hell ya!!!
I just got a yeti XL I am having a hard time finding Lipo,s that fir the battery box. I have had to get ride of 2 different batteries now. what batteries do you use? I only want to run 2S I just found onyx 8000mah 35C soft case that the width is 43mm. all the other batteries I have tried have been to wide.
Did you waterproof your savox servo and what bec if any did you use
Awesome video! But question... why does your yeti have a capacitor looking thing near the ESC? I bought mine about a month ago and it doesn't have that.
GamerNRetro you know what i never paid attention to it..idk why it does come with it... :/
Did that thing just have torque flex?!
Can you make a video on what you upgraded- yeti xl pls thank you
Raiden Perez I really didn't upgrade anything on the truck at that time. It was basically stock. I only upgraded the servo.
Where you get your led lights?
what weight oil do you have in the diffs?
Awesome Video but you should strengthen up the chassis so it doesn't twist you much, it would be more efficient and i think handle the corners better.
yes i agree...but i had gotten this right when it was available. Now they made the kit..to make it more stable. sway bar, better shocks etc. Thats my next upgrades that come in the kit.
How do the tires hold up to 6s
how did you manage the savöx servo working with the BEC???? my 1256 seems to be sucking too much so systems tilt up :-(
Mine to. Also running a external 10a bec. Castle built in bec is shit
Glitch buster
Mine has died in smoke. New Hobbywing fires Savöx perfect :-)
Nice perform. ;)
Needs a faster motor but yep nice video man
Something has got to be done about that chassis twist under torque. Literally makes it a 3-wheeler
+James Hannah No, It is funny! :-D
Why does it always cocks up front right wheel under power while going straight?
Dragan Radovic torque twist causes that, wondering if sway bars would correct that issue with this truck, I'd hate to drop 700 bucks and not be able to fix that problem.
i was wondering the same damn thing looks like its having a stroke all the time lol...
Toysoldier change gears lol
So Crazy ~ ^_^"
You broke your Axial lol
I don't know what the hype with the Yeti is, it looks super unstable. Maybe it's just because I'm not a crawler guy...
im not a crawler guy as well...and i enjoy the crap out of it though. Im a hardcore basher..
AB Palacios would sway bars help keep all 4 wheels on the ground? I seen a lot of 3 wheel action and Axial is calling this a monster buggy, not a crawler so idk could have changed the concept for this truck, it does come with monster truck tires I see on their website.

Heaps of chassis slap
I've had my Yeti XL less than a month. Had to thread lock the pinion gear. Smoked the servo. Broke a front diff bearing which ground up the gears and broke the front center cv shaft. Anybody wanna buy a Used Yeti XL?
how much
Eric Wood sounds like my 4x4 slash. Everything broke except tires lol
I knew his shock would break everybody jumps shit with there shocks set week those springs are very weak as is and the oil is too light its jarring like hell when you jump it
4wd
pity that you did not show the jump/crash that resulted in the damage. we will not know what the limit is. waste of time.
Sehr schön 👍🏻😍👍🏻
