New member here, but by no means new to RC. I have a bunch of 1/8th scale cars, fly RC things, and serve as the pit crew for the SCX10.2 that I built for my dad as gift.
The Yeti XL has always been interesting to me, but I never pulled the trigger on getting one. Tower currently has the kit version for $70 off and I'm thinking it might be time to get one. I definitely want the kit and I prefer to buy new cars/kits.
Before I take the plunge I want to get an idea of what sort of upgrades this thing will need to be reliable/durable. From the research I've done, the following are needed:
1) 4S power?
2) Steering rack upgrade from dhawk
3) Shock caps
4) Diff/bulkhead/drivetrain mods I would really appreciate some schooling on this. Especially regarding the pinions and housings.
Anything else?
I really appreciate the help.
