- Get up close and personal with the brand new Axial Yeti! This is no unboxing video, this gets down into the nuts and bolts of what makes this truck tick. It's long and technical, so if you don't want details, don't watch this video!

this is awesome to see this in depth look all these years later.
Great Video. Very informative. The more I see the Yeti, the more I know I need to have one.
Watching the old vids love them
great vid Harley. haven't seen many, in depth breakdown vids. pretty cool.
Man great Video, I just picked mine up. My first Axial and I just learned a lot. Thanks!
Nice work, the effort and prep show on this video. Thanks for posting.
Thank you! Been waiting for a detailed video! Great job teaching me more stuff!
👍🏻 Thanks for the great video. A big jump forward for me. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for taking the time in making this video.. i know editing sucks!! but its worth the pay off.. however it will be interesting to see what vanquish has install for this rig.
I am liking this truck and i want one, cant wait to see a driving video, keep up the great videos
Harley Designs Hi Harley, so I guess I just answered one of my own questions, I just realized you talk about the motor mount and how you can turn the motor to have it actually move, so closer or farther away , so this will allow the ability to change the gears..... interesting indeed. I really am looking forward to in-depth video on the gear changes you make to change it to crawler mode ( please do a video just on the gearing, with all steps, I'm sure many of us would love to watch a 15 min video just on that LOL ) seriously. Thanks for your great channel Harley.
Thanks for the In-depth review, I did Share this to some of my Facebook friends.
great vid bud! I can't wait to see what you might have in the work's for the Yeti..
Thank you Harley. It's really awesome to get such great info from someone very educated in this hobby and axial. My axial knowledge only goes as far as the scx10 I just love it. After this video I'm hoping that this transfer/tranny combo makes it to the scx line. It's one of the few lacking scale departments of the scx10. Thanks Harley.
great review, Thanks for posting !
Very good review!
This truck is build like a dream :)
Best axial yeti review I've seen. Thank you! I just picked up a previously owned yeti, and this helped me identify parts I need to replace. I had no idea the bulkhead was from an exo so now I can find parts easily. Speaking of parts 8 years later their wasn't much support at my local hobby shop so I went online. Not much support there either! What happened in 8 years that not even axial has much support for this classic rock racer? Personally it's my favorite rc of all time! It has so much diversity! I've hammered on the rocks. Beat it up bashing dirt mounds. Thrashed on the street, and had some fun ripping sideways in the grass. Where can I find more support for this bad ass rc?! I can't even find a new Lexan Body for it 😭 it's no wonder I got a killer deal. $240 RTR with lots of upgrades, and extra parts!
It’s been discontinued for quite a few years now, after Horizons acquisition of Axial it was outdated compared to the other cars in Horizons was producing.
Thanks for this great video. This will be my next purchase, so this gives me insight on the Yeti. I fairly new to the RC world, so these kinds of video's are so welcomed. Thank you
Thanks Manuel
Great video. Ive been waiting patiently for your teardown review. Im looking forward to seeing where you go with this rig. Like you I wanna go more towards the rock crawling/ trail rig direction. Cant wait. Got my popcorn :)
Thanks Nathan, I've been having a blast with the truck already! I've already locked the front end and been crawling with it quite a bit.
Thanks Josh! Great video! If you have the uncut version, I suspect there are others that would gladly watch it in its entirety. This video actually seems short as the YETI is not available to the general public yet and there are A LOT great improvements.
BTW... I pre-ordered... cannot wait until next month. With any luck I'll receive while home on R&R. With YETI in hand the WREXO may be delayed... maybe the YETI will help me with the WREXO build or identify possible improvements.
Nice detailed video
Thanks for making this:)
gosh i cant wait to get my hands on one
Great vid. One question can I just swap out the receiver and use the Futaba one instead of the one that comes with the buggy with no problem?? I would have calibrate the speed control right??
What weight of diff oil would you recommend into the front diff for crawling ?
I want it to still be semi open for turning but 'locked' enough for crawling like Detroit Locker Differentials.
Thanks
I would suggest that instead of locking the front completely, that you try of very thick silicone oil first. Maybe a 300k-500k weight. Amazing looking truck, can't wait to get my hands on one! great video, I have been anticipating this one since your previous Yeti vid.
baayne I already locked the front end using a solid one piece spool. I ran it with another yeti that had heavy fluid in Colorado at the G6 last weekend. Locked is definitely going to be my preference for a rig that will see a lot of rock.
Just shoot some good run footage ;)
And what is the ackerman value of the steering ? Ive never owned a exo so I can't compare.
Thanks
What does the 2 speed transmission upgrade do, as I am looking to purchase a Yeti soon. Thanks.
Would be nice if the servo used for shifting into low gear could also operate a remote front diff locker to lock the front for crawling, as what else would you want the low gear for.
Dang I was hopeing to be able to use it because it looks way stronger than the stock wraith
@7:09 A nice large cavity that can be used for variety of things, eh ?
Ok i have a dirty mind =)
Dave Racine That type of talk will not be tolerated on this channel! :) I kid...
do you know when the kit car comes out?
I just got a yeti and I'm trying to swap out the receiver for a better one I already had, but the receiver in the box won't come loose, like it's glued on or something. Do you know how I can get it out?
Excellent video. Axial will surly sell more yeti after people see this vid.
Great video thanks, I'm really considering getting the kit version. Would you say it would make a suitable basher for taking to skateparks? I understand skateparks are quite hard on rc's but that won't be where I'll be solely using it.
They are hard in trucks for sure. It will survive many things but some impacts are still going to have bad results. It's all going to come down to your driving.
Harley Designs Ok cool, thanks for the info. Skateparks wouldn't be the only place I'd run the kit and I wouldn't class myself as a hard basher. Would a 5.5t 550 size motor and 2S lipo be enough power for it? I already a Savox 1256 which I might use. Just watched your kit vs rtr video, the kit is definitely the way for me to go.
Does anyone make a locking and unlocking ifs differential for rc cars?
14:20 was priceless lol
That round piece on the motor are usually called a cam and isn't a true circle should be offset
Great video!! It wasn't mentioned, but do you have any concerns about the front hinge pins threading directly into the chassis instead of a replaceable toe block? Seems like they could strip out the chassis in a crash and then it would be a headache to fix.
They actually thread into nuts that slip into the chassis. I swapped out the plastic nuts with standard nylocks.
Harley Designs Size of that nylock ? 4mm ?
Hi, I really enjoy this channel - I'm just starting a Yeti kit build, and I'm sucking up all the tips I can get. I see that helical gears also are available for the front diff - have you tried this? In your opinion, what would any pros/cons be with such a setup ?
+zombiethon the helical cut gears are just indicative of the HD gear sets which the KIT already includes. Their shouldn't be a need to upgrade the gears of your kit.
+zombiethon sorry I forgot to address that the benefit of helical cut gears is an increased tooth contact area.
I need that chassis,just the chassis!!LOL!
Harley that thing looks realy sick wich do you think is better the yeti or vattera twinn hammers
In my opinion, it blows the Twin Hammers away. I owned a TH for about a year and drove it less than I have already driven this car. I found very little enjoyment in driving or working on the TH.
Harley Designs thanks harley realy appreciate it
Do you think you could mount that trans in a wraith?
I don't think it will clear the skid plate in the wraith, specifically the front driveshaft. It would take a lot of work to make it function.
Is the stock esc have a sensor port?
Nope, basically a sidewinder esc I believe.
Very good video Harley. I have pre-ordered the Yeti, but still no sign of it. As a newbie, will this be great out of the box ? I'm a little scared seeing all the things that you wish to change, or have changed already.... is the Yeti a great RC buggy if I do not upgrade any parts ? I'm going to be putting out about $500 I'm guessing with the taxes, so that's a lot of money to start off.. I hope it's fun out of the box.
High Energy RC It is a blast out of the box! But out of the box it is not made to go crawling and that is something I really personally enjoy. So the modifications I am making are to make it do exactly what I want to do, which is different than what Axial had planned for it to be exactly.
There will be more upgrades available for this truck than most trucks on the market. Axial trucks have some of the craziest aftermarket support of any brand. All the way from small vendors to the big dogs.
Harley Designs Hi Harley, oh good to hear ! I was getting a bit less excited, but I'm ok now. Anyway, good to know, well I can't wait to see what you will do in terms of upgrades. I'm watching your tear down video again. Thanks for your time Harley, I appreciate it. *Not many* channel owners actually reply to their subscribers, so thank you :-)
Hi Harley, can you explain what that second servo is for ? I have no clue :-( Are you saying you can actually change the gearing from speed mode to crawler mode ? so by doing something on the radio, you can switch "speeds" ? ..... I didn't really understand what you meant. I thought the Axial kit for crawling was comprised of some different gears that you have to install ( replace ) and remove the original gears that come with it.
High Energy RC There will actually be a full new set of gears that go inside the transmission and the 2nd servo I showed will actuate the entire assembly. That will make more sense when that upgrade is available.
Harley Designs Hi Harley, oh sounds interesting ! so the servo will somehow activate the new gears I'm guessing. Anyway, I hope you do a super in-depth video of the process. By the way, could you do a little 5 min video on how servos are different from one another, - the strengths, how one is stronger, or what makes them stronger or weaker. A very interesting subject and I have not found any great video of somebody explaining it. Anyway, thank you Harley !
Oh and what baterry do you recomend
I'll run through that in an upcoming video.
Have you ran it with a Roc 412 yet?
Yes I have, works well in the rocks that way. I am almost thinking that I may step up to a T8 setup though... totally overkill however.
I am seriously screaming at my computer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my trans is not just, popping right out grrrrrrr
why did they make the exo terra such a sob just to put a battery in it, then this one just has two body clips and you can get into the whole thing..
I absolutely hate machined screws in plastic!!!! They are so easy to over tighten!
*and strip the threads
here is a tip (BTW I own two youtube channels with over 750,000 subs and edit videos for a living), we dont't want to see your face, just film exactly what you are talking about, for example do a first person view of the specific area of discussion, and then voice over it later during editing. Your videos will view much better that way. I have the Wraith and the Yeti and I would love to get more in depth with them so I welcome this video, but all I can see is your face, not the parts of the RC
