Not sure it's as quick as the Traxxas but damn, this thing is fun! A bit of Black Friday shopping netted a great deal on one. And, I got a chance to see a X-MAXX--that thing is HUGE!

Nice! Are you running 3s lipo with the stock Vanguard? That's the setup I will be switching to.

ian408 (Dec 5, 2015 at 19:09)

I was gonna do that and asked what the counter guy thought. He said it might be better not to.

SoCalMX (Dec 5, 2015 at 19:36)

It is set up to run 3s. Just got my batteries in the other day and they woke it up nicely!

ian408 (Dec 5, 2015 at 22:09)

Hmm...maybe I'll grab one and give it a twirl.

ian408 (Dec 6, 2015 at 16:42)

Ha! 3s 35c did the trick! Does nice burnouts on the street now. Of course, easier to flip too... The guy at my LHS was kind enough to cut a great deal and has also offered to exchange the others too.

Cool man, good on him to do that...

Wicked, I need to get back into some RC action!

So nice of you to be buying toy cars for your kid! Happy turkey day focker!

SoCalMX (Nov 26, 2015 at 14:20)

He is stoked! Got this thing pushing 70mph. Yea, happy chicken day bro!

Pushing 70? How?

ian408 (Nov 26, 2015 at 22:00)

I have a Traxxas Slash 4x4. Hole-eee-sheet! It goes crazy fast. Box says 60 with LiPO...Yeti looks pretty bad ass.

Bronco82 (Nov 27, 2015 at 18:13)

Box is supposed to say 60 with a 3s and different gearing. Which is usually what you have to do. I still don't get how the yeti is pushing 70. Unless he's running a 4s lipo and has already changed the gearing.

SoCalMX (Nov 27, 2015 at 18:17)

Oh damn cuz, switched out the motor/esc, running 3s, no body, weighted front.

Bronco82 (Nov 27, 2015 at 18:21)

Did you go with a tekin RX8 and a 550 hd or 1/8 scale motor?

SoCalMX (Nov 27, 2015 at 22:41)

Just having some fun on an old Castle 2650kv I had on a 4s lipo. I will be going back to the stock Vanguard on 3s, plenty o power.

Bronco82 (Nov 28, 2015 at 19:26)

Ah, it all makes sense now. I was hoping it wasn't 70 mph on the stock set up. That would be insane, but also a great selling point in the shop.

philip92 (Nov 26, 2015 at 14:19)

That's nice man, I'm thinking of buying a Yeti and make some sort of a RZR look alike body

FIVE8FIVE (Nov 26, 2015 at 15:21)

That's so bad-a$$! Pushin' 70 mph? DAAAYYYYYUUUUM!

Sweet ride dude.
