AXIAL YETI JR 1/18 4WD RTR ROCK RACER.
With the introduction of the Yeti line back in 2014, the bar was set.
Axial introduced a vehicle that featured independent front
suspension(IFS) with a floating solid rear axle, something commonly
reserved only for the full size off-road realm. This time around, the
decision was made to make things a wee bit smaller, while still
providing a high level of performance.
Enter, Yeti Jr.™ Rock Racer 1/18th Scale Electric 4WD - RTR. WeΆve
taken all that youΆve come to love and appreciate in the Yeti chassis,
but shrunk it down to 1/18th scale. ItΆs powered by a 380 sized brushed
motor which provides the perfect amount of torque and speed for this
tiny rock racing monster. Also featuring a bespoke all-in-one
programmable Tactic ESC and receiver, paired with a 3-wire micro high
torque steering servo.
Axial Yeti JR Rock Racer 4WD RTR
With the Axial Yeti Jr.™ Rock Racer the goal was to build a simple,
fun, and easy to drive Yeti that anyone can handle. The hardest part
about the Yeti Jr.™ Rock Racer is making sure you have enough battery
packs charged in order to keep the adventure alive! In a fast paced
world where space is limited and ease of use is paramount, charging the
supplied Onyx 6-cell NiMH battery needs to be simple and convenient.
This is where the Onyx USB NiMH Charger comes into play. ItΆs small,
compact, and easy to operate.
Axial Yeti JR Rock Racer 4WD RTR IFS
The Yeti Jr™ is equipped with an Independent Front Suspension (IFS)
system to help maintain high-speed stability when running through a
diverse range of terrain. The IFS system allows you to better control
the intended direction of travel at high speeds when one side is
adjusting to overcome road obstructions.
Axial Yeti JR Rock Racer 4WD RTR Drivetrain
The Axial Yeti Jr™ has no micro gears, instead the drivetrain
features 48P gears, which is not only a robust design but also expands
the number of possible gearing configurations. The spur gear is mated to
a 15T metal pinion gear for optimal gearing. Adjusting the gear mesh to
accommodate different sized pinion or spurs gears has never been easier
with the help of a cam style motor mount design. The front top plate
secures the cam motor plate in place and all screws thread down into the
chassis, eliminating the need for extra long hex drivers in order to
secure the motor and gear mesh.
Axial 1.55 Method Beadlock Style Wheels and 1.55 BFGoodrich Krawler Tires
Based on the popular Method 105 machined wheels, these officially
licensed wheels are dressed in an aggressive all black style to give
your Axial Yeti Jr™ Rock Racer that scale look.
In the full-size off-road world the BFGoodrich is the winner of more
rock-crawling championships than all other tires combined (Race spec
tire, Years 2004 through 2008). The Axial version captures the same
aggressive look youΆve been waiting for, just smaller in size.
