Axial Yeti XL 1/8 Electric 4wd Monster Buggy - RTR
The Axial Yeti XL Monster Buggy - a new category, a new frontier, a new dimension. From the beginning of the concept through the design phase, Axial drew upon the brand philosophy to develop and deliver something different to the R/C monster truck arena. Monster trucks are known for bashability, so we jumped head first into the segment by creating a vehicle with insane brushless power along with features that would allow it to withstand the abuse that comes with the territory. From the outset, the goal of maintaining brand heritage was a priority. Research and development teams took those traits and attributes, mixed them with the Axial design ethos which is heavily rooted in full size rock racing, and developed what could be considered the next level in R/C monster truck design. BIG POWER, UNDER CONTROL!
The Yeti XL is powered by a Castle Creations 2200KV 4-pole Vanguard XL brushless motor and it's equipped with the industry's first 8th scale solid rear Axle with an independent front suspension [IFS] chassis system. Everything's kept under control by massive 20mm aluminum shock bodies that house Big Bore 16 (16mm) pistons on beefy 4mm shock Shafts which help maintain high speed stability when running through a wide variety of terrain. Axial has yet again skirted the mainstream and delivered a vehicle that falls into it's own niche, the Monster Buggy.
The AR60 XL solid rear Axle is constructed from high strength composite material which has a low flex rate but is not as brittle as standard glass filled nylon. An added reinforced Axle truss strengthens the rear Axle by reducing flex and by distributing the force of potentially damaging impacts. The combination of our Axles and a true 4-link suspension gives you optimal performance for any terrain with the look of a real 1:1 vehicle. Maintenance is easy - simply remove four screws to access the rear differential.
WB XL CVJ REAR DRIVEShaft
This design uses less parts for a stronger, more durable and tighter fitment. While this is a more compact design, it uses larger diameter bearings to keep the input gear stable under instant heavy power. Axial has continually developed plastic driveShafts and has taken this accumulative knowledge and put it into this beefy driveShaft. The composite material was specifically chosen for it's resistance to heat and the ability to withstand direct impact.
Less slop = less driveline clunk with instant power transfer
Captured cross pin design, no set screws to lose
Increased surface area at the connection between the ball joint and the composite drive Shaft
Captured cross pin design eliminates older set screw design for more durability and easy maintenance
FRONT CVJ METAL UNIVERSALS
The front universals feature an all metal, super strong CVJ design and they're completely rebuildable. The benefit of a universal joint is an increased steering angle and precise fitment for an efficient driveline. The captured pin design allows for better reliability and easier maintenance.
BIG BORE 16 SHOCKS
In the suspension department, the Yeti XL is equipped with the industry's first 1/8th scale solid rear Axle with an independent front suspension [IFS] setup. The suspension is controlled by massive 20mm aluminum shock bodies that house big bore 16mm pistons on beefy 4mm shock Shafts to help maintain high speed stability when running through a diverse range of terrain. Precision machined Big Bore 16 shocks are standard equipment and deliver smooth suspension movement for consistent handling.
BFGOODRICH KRAWLER T/A KX TIRES
BFGoodrich has more than three decades of off-road racing commitment under their belt, scoring 23 SCORE Baja 1000 championships and 26 Score Baja 500 championships from 1975 - 2010! In the full-size off-road world, BFGoodrich Krawler T/A KX tires are the winner of more rock-crawling championships than all other tires combined (Race spec tire, Years 2004 through 2008). The Axial version of this tire captures the same aggressive look and provides awesome performance on a wide variety of surfaces. This is the perfect tire for this style of vehicle due to its high level of performance and diversity.
Tire size - 74 x 184mm (2.9 x 7.25")
METAL GEAR TACTIC SERVO, 151 oz-in, WATER RESISTANT
The included Tactic TSX45 metal gear servo is rated at 151 oz-in of torque for massive turning power and dual ball bearings provide smooth and precise movement for the metal gear train.
EASY ACCESS BATTERY TRAY
Twin battery trays can be easily accessed by removing the two front body pins and pivoting the entire body up. Install or remove your batteries by removing the remaining body pins. Foam blocks are included to help keep the batteries in place.
