Yeah it's something like a 200mA charger

The stock battery is a 1200mAh I think so you could charge at least at 1A.

Is it usual for the rear axle to get warm while running or do I have a bad bearing??

I would say bad bearing or too tight gear mesh
Open it it's easy

I’ll look into the gear mesh, the backlash might be tight, if not I have a bookmark for the fast eddy bearings or the stock rear bearings part number

Well the new plastic diff cups and spider gears lasted for one 2s pack.
My 4y son did a single 12inch jump and I heard the dreaded clicking again...

I will try the new axial aluminium locker in the front.
We'll see in 2 weeks (Amain shipping to the lost far away lands of Canada...)

Pretty sure it's too big.
Like fitting 1.9 wheels on the yeti Jr.

I put 1.55 MT/R tires that are about 1/2inch taller than stock and it's almost too big.

I just think it would look cool, and it would have good flotation. If anyone on here has the traxxas traxx could u put them on and take pics, I would be very interested. Also Someone needs to make 1.55 tracks

 

[Lugnutt]

Just a little bigger than stock.

Is that a sticker on the rear axle or is it paint, if it is a sticker tell me where u got it

For those having doubts on how far you can push upgrades on the Yeti Jr.

Full metal drivetrain (Steel rear axle shafts, rear locker, driveshafts, Steel front CVDs)

Aluminium upper arms, trailing arms, front arms with c-hubs and knuckles, Steering rack, steering links and rear shocks.

Hobbywing 1060 esc
Full size Low profile servo (Solar D770)
Tactic Tr325 rx
Stock motor
Zippy 2s batteries 2200 mah

TX03 FPV camera

It's missing new tires and wheels but this is where options are limited.

Same here on the first pics

I used a silver sharpie pen and painted lots of markings in the Jr.

I even did the nuts on the plastic wheels before moving on to the aluminum beadlocks

Ok, do u know of any other shocks for the front other than stock ones or the gpm ones?

 

[Lugnutt]

I guess I’m posting a whole lot today, has everyone else had the problem where it never went straight when stock it always went to one side or the other. What did everyone do to fix that??

I tried the GPM front shocks but they have shorter travel and suck

Use the stock front shocks but stuff the rear Springs on them

Was asking if anyone found any other shocks to use

 

[Lugnutt]

What about the Steering issue??
