Would this be a good replacement.

Paul,
First you have a lot of info here Scale Rigs Brand Specific Tech - Axial Yeti at RCCrawler.com for the Baby Yeti.

Whatever you do don't get that shaft. Integy is terrible quality. Research for a few $$ cheaper but spend a few dollars more and get this MIP X-Duty Rear C-Drive Kit, Axial Yeti one and it will be the last one you'll ever buy plus it will outlast your Yeti more than likely.

Just picked up 3.8 pits, CI foams and new stock yeti xl rims.

Total weight is 402g or 14.15oz or 0.886lb.

What CI foams did you get? I'm going to order some Pits soon. If I ever get a new bulkhead (stupid bulkheads).

Hey can you through up a picture after you get them mounted on your rig?

That seems like the best all around tire for the XL....Some of the tires I've been looking at alone weigh more than that... Then aluminum wheels....umm...I think I just heard something snap...Maybe someday it will be there...

That's an issue too. I don't want to run heavy ass wheels and I'm also worried about the stock wheels stripping. I've stripped 2 and broken 2 stockers. So, I'm a bit leery of putting Pits on the stockers. I would like for them to be on quality wheels so I don't have to bake them off if the wheel fails. I tighten with a real socket wrench, put thread lock on them, sacrifice a chicken to JoBoo and they still break and strip.

Narrowing some Axial bead blocks is an option, but too much work. It would be nice to just glue them on a quality rim and not worry about them stripping out or breaking...kind of like Pro-Line rims.

Does the X-Maxx have tire problems like this?

I was looking on eBay and came across this carbon fiber rear panel.

Hey guys, sorry for no bumps but all is chugging along on the YXL side...

First the good news: I took the YXL for the first time since the last update, and managed to climb that one hill after several attempts:

I think the recent weeks of rain smoothed it out and bit and I got a good run at it, so we can cross that one off.

The bad news: My rear diff is clicking finally. We had about 4 runs that night but I've had that diff since I first got the truck. I will open it up tonight and see what's going on for sure, but I might have to put a set on order.

Pro-Line 6" Super Bright LED bar.

Pro-Line 6276-02 6" Super-Bright LED Light Bar Kit

Perfect fit. No drilling or cutting required. Super Bright doesn't even begin to describe it. Blindingly bright is more like it. My eyes are still recovering from a night run 30 minutes ago. I used the empty box in the back to hold a 2S 1300 mAh LiFe pack to power the lights.

Nice light!!!!!
