Yeti XL Aftermarket Thread

[Sneetches]

I'm just gonna post this so we don't have to post a new thread every time a new part pops-up, so it can be continually updated as time goes on and more parts get released. Post any experience with these parts as well in the thread so we can have a "knowledge base" of sorts . If i'm missing a parts source, go ahead and post it.

So, without further ado:

Axial - Aluminum/Various parts
>Turnbuckles, Sway Bar, Rear Link plates, Shocks, Tires

Since the Yeti Kit reveal, Axial has some upgrades already included on the kit that RTR owners will be able to install as well. You can thank SteveC6R for digging up the part #'s, which can be found on Tower Hobbies right now.

2-speed conversion, Turnbuckles, Steering Rack, Lower Links, Upper Links, Pivot Balls, Rear Upper Chassis Link Mount, Shock Tower, Skid Plate, Rear Shock Cage Mount, Motor Mount, Etc.

They are the same under the "GPM" name, so take that as you will. Seems people have a love/hate relationship with the brand.

Hot Racing – Aluminum upgrades
Hot Racing Axial Yeti XL RC Car upgrades and Hop-ups

Other big manufacturers (STRC, etc.) are yet to announce anything. I can add other parts sources to the list as time goes on. I emailed RPM and they said they haven't made anything because they haven't seen/heard of any major issues yet.
