Picked up my Yeti on Monday got all my parts I had gathered over the past couple months. Threw on a VP Currie Wraith rear axle housing and a set of 460/710 DH aluminum hubs I don't like the SLW hubs they bind on the hex . the wraith rear axle made me have to flip my ring gear in the front and reprogram the motor rotation with the castle link setup. I spun the rear wheels after installation to check front rotation and the they spun backwards. I put on a pair of gpm front lower control arms, strc castor block set ,and VP's front link set, steering post set, and knuckles. I installed the exo universal cv axles as I didn't know they were releasing the new universals set. I did get a Stainless screw kit and pulled the thing about completely apart replacing most screws and added lube to everything that needed it. Today I picked up my overdrive gear sets for front and rear. I installed a gpm aluminum front bulkhead. I effectively made the yeti to fast for my own short cul de sac. my daughter was out watching me tear up the neighbors yards. I told her I couldn't give it full throttle she asked me to try it. about 6 seconds later it met a curb ripping the right front control arm out of the front plastic piece and punched the screw through the pan and filled the screws hex with concrete. I found a really long 4-40 stainless shoulder bolt my pops had in his model room. I cut it to length and threaded the end and added the aluminum front toe block I had luckily ordered and found the optional front piece from the parts bag. Still haven't ran a full 3s pack through it. it does seem to boogie with a 19t pinion and the 36/14 hd overdrive gear sets in. I'll post some pics this afternoon after I wake up again. Time to go back to bed.
