- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- After two good solid runs with the Axial Yeti. I figured it was time to do a Review / Overview video on my overall thoughts and opinions.
First off I want to say, that even though there are some minor flaws about this rig and MAYBE I WAS A LITTLE TOO HARD ON IT IN THE VIDEO :) I just want you to be aware of some of the problems and things you can expect when getting a yeti....
the overall experience is honestly amazing thought!!!!!.
Considering I have only owned now 5 RC vehicles ever. I can say that this Axial Yeti is by far my favorite of them all!
With that said I encourage you too watch the video to see some of the good an bad things about this rig.

also you must re-enforce the rear lower arms with q - bond power & glue kit , diff covers will give you a problem , fix .. add some soft washers a lil larger than the screw heads , theses will hold the cover on !
I'm contemplating a Yeti, and to be aware of any shortcomings beforhand is very helpful. I don't mind the need for upgrades - tinkering and upgrading is part of the experience, and now I can get the parts it needs right away :-) Thanks very much!
no problem! glad i could help!
I just got a Yeti. Don't plan on bashing it as hard as you did. I just loved the concept and design of these Axial RCs so I had to get one; planning on upgrading it quite a bit. The first part to go missing on mine is an upper steering knuckle pin...the sad thing is I work at HobbyTown and I just now noticed I needed a part after I got home from closing haha!
Colton B Haha no worries man, that was the last time im going to beat on it like that! haha...And that a huge bummer man, but at least you work for a place were you can get parts relatively easy! be sure to watch the build series on this Yeti, to possibly give yourself some ideas! :)
I will most def watch your builds...I need to know what upgrades are actually necessary although I have an idea. Wish I had more time to fully edit and produce better uploads. College and work take up nearly all mt time. I try to fly or roll whenever I can which happens to be late at night freezing my fingers haha
In my opinion...Anything you can do to the suspension system is probably going to be your more " necessary" upgrades that you should perform first. I also know what you mean, Try working 45 hours a week, coming home to a 3 year old, taking care of a house, shooting videos, keeping up with all of the trucks, researching information, editing, and keeping the website up to par, all the time! Haha. but just take your time and have fun right now, your in college! Don't worry how well your videos are right now. practice filming. then one day when you get more time you will have a lot of the techniques down and you will be shooting better videos and better editing it in your spare time!
I upgraded all the weak parts before i ran it for the first time. Its a beast. No broke parts yet.
Hey Hey ! I just ordered one of these :) build in it for the new years. Cheers.
About the springs, I used to stretch them a bit and then squish them back onto the shock and secure them, that tends to stiffen them without spending the money…lol
Is this man Jang's reincarnation? Only kidding of course. Just saying this was a very informational, honest, and entertaining video. Good job!
***** Thank you man! greatly appreciate it!
Got a subscriber just for confronting you audience on how you speak. I think it's funny that people like to correct everyone but they never like to be corrected. Entitlement at it's finest. Good video man.
EXTREME SCALE PERFORMANCE RC Haha, Thanks man. No matter what were all going to have people that feel like they always have to correct us. Were not perfect. we do this for fun. I say, o well.... get over it, if you think you can do better then why don't you do it. Im doing it because I enjoying sharing what im doing. ;) Thanks for subscribing thought, I enjoy your videos man!
Axial or axle? Haa good video. Keep up the good work!
Josh Partlow hahaha..your funny...haha thanks buddy!
Thats crazy! The same exact part broke on my yeti during its first run. Nothing a little upgrades cant fix though. Axial Yeti is an incredible machine
Nice vid mat
Thanks bud!
input on the servo: ditch the crappy servo horn and that 151oz/in servo should be plenty for non-rockcrawler setups, for crawler usage, I'd go to a 333oz/in or more, you aren't going to see much difference between a 151oz/in and a 208oz/in servo...
if you run a plastic diff , epoxy the pinion bearings into the orifice , they wont shift around and ruin the bearings.
How do you feel about the "AVC" system (hope I spelled it right,I got bad eyes) ? The side by side I watched on another site was pretty amazing...My oldest son gave me his old scx-10 jeep (not really that old) and with all the hype behind the Yeti, I've been anxious to see one in action...thanks for the video...
I honestly have never tryed it. Ao i cant really say...i have herd some good things about it. And your welcome man enjoy the scx10! Thier. Blast!
I really want to purchase the Jeti but living in Minnesota you need a waterproof truck. Is the jeti waterproof???
Yes its waterproof
super glue the tires pull bead back a lil then put the glue around the bead ! i thrash mine they never come out the bead ! also do not re install cast gears ! steel gears only , steel spur & m i p steel d - line only things that will hold up to the bashing !
nice job! Im gonna have to get one now because I think I heard you say if your revo was electric you would get rid of it and get another yeti! and you talk just fine bro lol imagine that! your human lol! Great video thumbs up!
Haha ya its deffinitly a lot of fun! Just go easy on it unless you plan to upgrade a lot...lol
The minor flaws only exist due to the fact that the factory ready to run setup didn't have a 3S Lipo in it. Once you introduce that type of power, the plastic parts are going to break. They can't stand the torque. Helion's Animus is the same way, people are cramming 3S Lipos in this thing, and it's only designed to have a 2S at most. Not to mention the fact that it breaks the plastic parts. Well going from the 1100MAh NiMH stock battery to a 2S Lipo, yeah, that's gonna happen. Just sayin...
nice review matt have fun rcing
Thank you man!
Hi I am doing a Yeti build over the winter. What Gear ratios across the board should I go for as upgrades and what company. I do mostly mediam speed runs with 3S with good throttle control. I run it mostly on trails in river Valleys and ravines. Mild rock climbing. Thanks!!!😀😀😀
You should consider a Traxxas slash 4x4 or a summit in the near future because they have some nice features
iceplanetRC I actually am considering getting a 4x4 short coarse truck sometime soon.
Nice video man and thanx for telling us your opinion about this vehicle
New subscriber here :)
Michael Dev No Problem man.
Nice overview!!! Do you think it would have "survived" a little longer on 2s??? Also... I've heard that the tire rim issue is due to the tires... Not sure.. I read somewhere that they cleaned up the rims and tires with rubbing alcohol and it helped a bit... Maybe worth a try... I really want one regardless of the issues...
honestly I don't know...my opinion yes...But how much longer I can not say, as I haven't tested that out. I haven't really looked into fixing the tire issue much. but I may give that a try. thanks!
Same thing happened to my yeti, but i had to take a dremel to the screw and cut it out.
Nice video! Hope when they give out a kit its a SCT version! That be cool!
couldn't agree more!
***** What?
I have broke the pass side front inner and outer knuckles and the steering servo so far and could not keep the tires on the wheels so i super glue them on but the aluminum aftermarket stuff has lasted so far. Also have stripped out the wheels even after the upgrade so have aluminum wheels also on the way.
Rogers Towing Yea unfortunately that definitely one this about this rig, Is that it like to break a lot of parts! I little too over powered for the plastics that are on it IMO. none the less though its still a lot of fun to drive!
I love your videos man great job!!! Keep up the good work👍
Thank you very much man! :)
Your channel and your videos are pretty cool.
iceplanetRC Thank you!
Bud you dont need to spill your guts to us, its only that 1% that cares how you pronounce shit, the other 99% are here for the content
Awesome, Thanks for the info
The Tank No problem!
Hi. Do you think there is any chance to convert it to nitro? For what I have seen by now, I think it can be be a problem with the brakes, not sure you have enough space, especially for the brake disc. Any thoughts? Thanks
Thanks for the review. 👍🏻
is it just me or does dude look like mr bean in the first few secs of this video ?
What can I do to get the Maximum amount of runtime out AXIAL Yeti in Detail please.
Can i use proline titus wheels on this
Overland; Where can I find your complete series of your Yeti Black rebuild? I'm going to start building mine and would like to view yours from the begiinning.
Manuel Madrigal Its Overload, lol and here is the link for ya. If you have any questions feel free to ask in the comment sections of the videos!ruclips.net/p/PLrNKF5QhpKajm6HPXyZZIlz62apUpLgMY
Just checked my car, and like you both hinge pins were backing out.
It's only had one and a half packs.
BigCarKilla Its a good thing you checked! unfortunately for me I half to wait for axial to get around toproducing those screws before being able to get anything done with this rig....sucks that is bent on mine... supposedly they are going to be released soon...
Oh no shit????? That's not cool....
Aren't they the same as the exo????
You know something...i havnt even checked. I bet it is!
Hi, I am getting a Yeti and gonna take it back to my country and unfortunately the parts wouldn't be available to me. So I have thought of buying everything before I leave (Almost). Till now, I have got the:
1. vanquish Links.
2. Lower/Upper Plate set (Axial)
Need Information on a waterproof high torque servo and what all is required to Improve the steering. If possible can u list down the parts or their number for me. That would really help me once for all.
Thanks.
+Varun Sareen Hey man, Ill start off by saying to get a Savox Waterproof servo. that will be your best one. as far as parts. Id be here for hours listing everything out for ya. Best thing to do is check out the build series on my channel. I have ever part listed in each description of video.
,,,Nor want the Vanquish rims because they are too heavy for this application. Higher speed vehicles need lighter wheels to minimize unsprung weight and rotational inertia.
How do you like the max amps? Does it rip?
Ryan O'Hara So far I love the Max Amps! Seems like a really solid battery! Even with all of the abuse I put this truck threw so far, it never once heated up and had a really good run time out of it.
Hi can you give your thoughts on the helion rock rider
It seems better to buy parts and pay for stuff that holds up than to buy rtr.
In a way...yes...But even if you buy a kit, your still replacing a lot of parts...sort of.
can you not glue the tires?
sam carpitcher I haven't tried yet. Im actually going to look into do that this weekend possibly...
Can you glue the tyres on the rims..?
Where did you find the screw to hold on the A arm I bent both of mine and can't find any
ChaosGeneral1 I believe RPP Hobby has them. or Tower Hobbies.
Why would you buy another yeti if you’ve had all these failures?
Dani yes it is water resistant
my tire striped in the 1st time i ran it for my birthday
+KALEB RYK RCNESS not surprised its been happening to a lot of people.
Bro you don't need to apologize for the way u say axail that's dumb if ppl don't like the way u say things don't watch your channel for get them smfh we know what u mean and if they can't handle it fuck em lol your good bro keep up the good work
Could you run the Traxxas Velineon 3500 in this?
Sounds like there are too many things wrong with an RC car in this price point.
I think I'll stay away....STILL A SWEET TRUCK THOUGH.
I'll Stick To New Bright...
:p
Na, just get a good vice, straighten my pins all the time on my rc cars lol
instead of throwing the rims away why not just glue the tires on, problem solved.
like the glamis uno rims ---> 2s ok , 3s NOPE glue´em
www.largescaledownunder.com.au/index.php/topic,5585.0.html
My build so far, it will show you an answer to your steering, also!
how can you evan think of compairing the yetti to an e revo. the brushless e revo is 10 times the rc as a yetti .......... fact
k Torvik I wasn't comparing it to the E-Revo. I was comparing it to MY Revo 3.3 ... and yes the E-Revo is definitely a lot better. but I don't have that truck. So all I had to compare to, was my nitro revo.
Steering ducks LOL
haha :)
awsome vid.... you kinda look like mr bean lol..
I hate you. I moved to the middle of nowhere and no DD in sight unless I drive 3 hours. Other than that cool vids and love the axle brand. Lol. Eat it haters. Lol
Joe Pansacula I am so sorry man! That should have been your number one priority! move near a DD! Haha and thanks man glad you liked the review.
Dunkin donuts.
How does that tactic servo suck its a fucking 50 dollar servo
Have you even driven the yeti on 3s with that servo?....
Yes i own one
It works perfectly fine
Then I guess its just a matter of personal opinion...
I guess so
A little too dramatic... otherwise a decent informative video
Great feedback on the yati i just got one and so far its been super fun i need to start upgrading parts i took it out on the mountains and got some footage of it m.ruclips.net/video/wPhOOuKtpXE/видео.html
in my opinion i think you wont say anything bad about the yeti as 70% of your vids are axial ??????????????????????????? and the other % traxxas lol
You bash the living shit out of it, which any model/brand would also break... Then humbly say it is a piece of shit! Nicly done gear head!
So basically the whole car sucks
iceplanetRC No... The vehicle as a whole is a pretty awesome! However their are a few flaws and issues that not only have I run into, but others as well. Most of these problems that I discussed on this vehicle is the result of operating the vehicle under 3s Lipo conditions. If the vehicle was powered by a 2s Lipo battery most... if not all, of these problems may not even exists. The main reason you may find some people complain about these problems like myself, is because Axial promoted this vehicle with the use of 3s lipo and how great it would be. But many of us have run into multiple problems in the stock form using 3s lipo and were very disappointed that the truck just cant seem to handle it stock, for more then a run or two without breaking. Otherwise like I had said before, this truck really is a lot of fun to drive for what it is.
Traxxas summit is much better than that. That's like a tyco
Your a jackass
