World's BIGGEST Axial Yeti XL Part 2 - HOME MADE PARTS - HemiStorm Yeti XXL

- I'm continuing work on my Axial Yeti XXL. That's right, double X! In a previous video, which you can find in the playlist, I split up two brand new Axial Yeti XL kits. A full spec list and a full list of downloadable drawings will be available once the project is entirely finished.
For now, it is time to fuse the chassis halves together. I'm doing that using a tabletop CNC machine called the X-Carve, which has been supplied to me by a company called Inventables. In the previous video you have seen my initial impressions about this tool, in this one you see how it actually applies to the RC cars that I built.
I was very skeptical at first. I did not have high hopes on getting the machine to run, or even being to be able to use it for something with an RC application without being a true headache. Turns out I was worried about nothing. I'm no poster boy. I still don't sugarcoat anything. Positive reviews or leaving out negative aspects of a product by trying to persuade me in any shape or form are just not me. So I will just say it flat out: this X-Carve kicks some serious ass! So far I've machined Delrin and carbonfiber, it will in the future even be used for aluminium, and it just doesn't stop to amaze me. To put it like this: for the kind of cash I spend on a cellphone you can get one of these. Seeing the possibilities it offers it's a pretty amazing concept, and most importantly (for me as a novice in CNC) exceptionally user friendly.
If you haven't understood it to the fullest from the video, from here on out you will see projects occur on my channel which I made using the X-Carve. On the Inventables website all drawings and a written description will be made available, free to use. This means what I'm making in my video, you can make at home, or at a friend's home, or at work, anywhere you have an X-Carve available.
What I do and try to explain in my videos is for you to have fun with, to hopefully inspire you, and to share with like minded people. This device just opened up an entirely new era in what is possible.
Any questions, as always, just shoot them in the comments box and I will try my best to answer them.

The electronics I'm running are a proven set up: the Castle Creations Mamba Monster 2 2200KV combo. Axial has put a similar setup, although rebranded, in the Yeti XL RTR, and after seeing several videos of it running I am thoroughly impressed. The Yeti is a large rig, with considerable weight, and a high torque system like this one will make it capable on a lot of different surfaces and in a variety of circumstances.

After having bad luck with a few of my more recent LiPos by Venom, I'm switching to a rather new brand called Dinogy Batteries. Dinogy offers a ton of different packs, for all sorts of applications, and for every budget. The Yeti XL will be tested on 4S first, so I opted for two Dinogy 2S 6500 mAh 65C packs to get the job done. These specs are impressive if you consider the cost, and I'm pretty confident they'll be up to the task, as Dinogy has been building a reputation for themselves in demanding applications.

The steering servo I selected is fairly middle-of-the-road, I installed a HiTec HS-7954SH. It delivers some decent torque, good speed and has good hold power, basically everything required to get those huge rims to point in the right direction.

Well. It would appear to me that Inventables has certainly picked the right person to put their machine to the test. This is an amazing series. Enjoying it very much. Someone who has a bit of experience cutting Carbon Fiber for work. Make sure you wear face mask and don't let too much get all over your machine. The grit from this material will eventually harm the machine. Clean up is crucial. Thanks for the follow up on the XXL, I know I wasn't the only one wondering. It looks awesome And I look forward to seeing that monster run. Good Job Bud!!!!!
Fantastic work so far man. I would not sleep if I had that machine, the projects you could do would be endless.
I definitely would try build aftermarket parts for my current Tamiya Mountain Rider build.
Keep up the great videos brother.
I can see a whole new HemiStorm line of modified RC upgrade parts in the near future! Very curious if you are thinking of building an RC from scratch now that you have the capability and tooling? Take the best ideas the Manufacturers have come up with and build the most awesome scale RC yet to date. Can't wait for the next update video!
Wow, this is an incredible build Chris. Thanks for sharing so much of your creative genius with us and keep up the great work!
Incredible build, very unique!!!! You have done a outstanding job, this is such a one of a kind build!!!! Looking forward to seeing this complete and seeing it run, well done mate!!!!
Man! you should work with this, the RC industry needs somenone like you! two thumbs up!
Love the build so far! cannot wait for some running videos! Thanks for doing this and allowing others to be able to do so as well! Keep the videos coming!
Amazing!!! They couldn't have picked a better person to have that machine!!! You are a true artist!!! And now I think we can add engineer to that title...
O my god that rig is incredible I can't wait to see you run this thing . Guys like you pushing the envelope is where RC needs to go ! Keep it up dude !!!!
Awesome ! That is very impressive, I really liked how you added the names in the bottom of the chassis that is a nice touch.
I love how technology is breaking into the hobby, things like the x-carve and 3D printers have made things possible that were either out of reach of most of us cost wise or would have been forced to go to industrial company's to help with making things, for under £1000 you can now be your own manufacturer, you just have to look at the quadcopter market to prove whats possible, garage builds turning into million $ companys
Exactly, and with the ability to share knowledge, share projects, I can see huge changes coming in the years ahead.
Prettig incredible how far this hobby has come! Thanks for another awesome video!
nice job in using the x-carve. looking forward to more of this build and more uses with the x-carve.
Planning on doing a start to finish video for that top brace, I think it will take away whatever doubts people still may have. It is so ridiculously simple!
Badass can't wait to see her run
Nice video! Love the innovation
Diggin' the progress!! Can't wait to see the paint job you spit down!
dang! Im am really looking forward to seeing this thing run! You are doing an amazing job on this thing
killer job so far!!!! Cant wait to see the YETI 2XL running videos and future builds!!! AWESOME job brother!!!!
Thanks Mark, just a few more steps to go!
I can't wait to see it up and running! Great work!
I like the finger print it looks ace although if it were mine I would paint the plate green then rub it down leaving a green fingure print inlayed into the black base plate. All X files like! Loving looks awesome cant wait to see it running
Glad you dig the finger print, Paul!
This is why they sent it to you. You are a champion!
That X-Carve is an awesome tool to have! really makes me consider getting one! Super clean finish Hemi, keep up the great work, really enjoying the content!
Glad you like it, I've stared at the carbon for ten minutes after it was done and could not believe what I made. Just mind blowing!
Great video man... Love the professionalism and how informative you make your videos.... Great job 😊
Amazing work Chris! Outstanding! Always one of a kind. Always pushing the limits!
The only way to do it, and I know you understand that with all those speed runs!
:-)
Wow man, that is some serious ingenuity right there !!!
Awesome !
When you do the body , you should incorporate a pizza box in the design :D
Look forward to more on this build and the X-Carve :)
I love the intro man ! And all your work!!!
Thank you, Tin! I'm happy to read that!
I really can't wait to see the run video... looks super awesome btw
Awesome....... Amazing work and that tool seems incredible.
Every time I tune in to watch a video of yours. You seem to up your work and the Hobbie every time.
Keep it up the work you do is frigan awesome
that is so cool I love it . im going to order my yeti next week I wish I was as taleted to do a 4 seater like that great job rhx for sheering
you're such a mad scientist, it's awesome! can't wait to see it run. it kind of looks like an exo buggy on steroids.
That's awesome :-) looking forward to see this rig done :-)
i'm very impressed, Chris..!
that's turning out awesome man, cant wait for the next video and to see it run
Hi Jay! Quite a bit left to do, plus paint. Really looking forward to take it for a spin, though!
You are the master of many things!
Dude your an artist,fingerprint..... Genius
+Joseph Stone Thanks Joseph, it's nice to make things a bit more unique.
Looks awesome man, I think you should increase the width though, an inch or two would make it look much better in my opinion
thats sick man very awesome
So awesome, You are a true RC mastermind!
Finally! crazy badass unveiled.
More coming, plus paint!
Ooooof - anxiously awaiting the driving video! That thing is seriously long.
Hi Steve! I'm as curious as you are to beat it up!
Man, that's pretty slick.. A++ my friend
Just think of what I could MadAddVentable with that thing....
Respect,yur got so much time build it on your own master piece yeti bro,likes it awesomness....love yur video!!!
Incredible build, and an incredible machine! I hope Axial will take not from you and start producing these kits.
Pizza Box!
Very nice vid! I'm sold on the X-Carve
You're in for a surprise, it's a freaking cool piece of gear!
I've been waiting long for how you put the 2 chassis together and now :-) Great Job. Looking forward to seeing your paint job and how this XXL performs...
Amazing talent, the machined parts look great!
Thanks Vin, I'm still amazed I managed to get something machined in the first place. It's such an eye opener!
HemiStorm RC - Custom RC builds, painting videos and more I am going to have to order one of these. Theres so many things I want to machine.
damn my dude sick work I would love to have any one of ur rc's
since you chopped up two chassis to make this don't you have another back and front half of yetis that are shortened??? you could make it into a short wheelbase version of the yeti xl, that'd probably be pretty neat. awesome job on the videos man keep em coming!
Derik Sowlcowski that would be awesome but the places he cut were ahead and behind the motor mount, so on one where he used the short ends it would have no place to mount motor
Very good thinking indeed, and with the X-Carve, plus the parts I saved, it should not be a problem to turn the remainder into a rolling chassis of sorts. More to come!
Man, that look amassing And strong. You could nearly make a RC from scratch with the X-Carve. That would be cool. ;-)
Once I get my drawing skills fine tuned, that will be the ultimate goal!
great stuff it looks amazing had an idea pop into my head when I seen you vacuuming up the shavings, would it be possible to strap vacuum right above drill then u can suck up all the shavings as it go's
Very cool. Thumbsup
thanks for uploading the drawings dude!(:
+Spartan Saber No problem, when the car is entirely buttoned up they will all be uploaded.
I'm definitely looking forward to seeing some durability testing of your design. Very cool! I'm not sure if you have a job outside of your RC stuff, but you should have been an engineer.
You're far too kind, Colin! Thank you
Cant wait to see the next chapter :)
Should not be too long, I want to show the entire process of how I machine the brace between both motors. I think it will explain even more about the way I'm putting this together, how solid it will be, and how the CNC comes into play.
your a freaking genius men nice job keep up the good work
You're very kind, Thomas! :)
So interested in this build...
Awesome video
I CANNOT WAIT!!!
Chris I have a question on your choice of materials for the bottom of the car. Why did you choose delrin instead of carbon fiber to make the bottom plate? Isn't carbon fiber much stronger than delrin? Was it cost or some other reason? Thanks bud and by the way that thing is the most radical RC build ever! :-)
great vids you make, cheers for your knowledge.
+Jude Roberts Still learning every day, Jude! Thank you for the kind message, much appreciated.
Hemistorm has the best builds
love it all man...
Glad you do, John! :)
je klink lekker nederlands haha nice vid
Niks mis met een accent! ;)
What did you do for dust control when machining the carbon fiber? The dust is uber hazardous.
+Steve Pelland I went outside and crossed my fingers.
I hoping you at least went outside....
Thats the nuts
Awesome
I am disabled and have some head trauma and I am still somewhat confused about the new machine, but can you make, vinyl stencils or a different kind of stencil for painting. I am NOT very artistic, I know what I want in my head but then I get so confused. I would like say a pick my black lab service Dog and she has a white marking on her chest. Can you machine the picture i send you, I stick it on spray paint then remove and spray paint again . I hope you understand what I'm trying to ask. It would be one of a kind stencil. If anyone can explain it better please do for me. Then I could just buy it off you. Sort of like the RC Sparks logo. Thanks, can't wait to see more and try to learn. I have a VW Baja body from Pro-Line.
P.S. big fan love your videos and I re-watch a lot of your videos.
Hi Juno, using tape or liquid mask should be able to allow you to create whatever it is you desire to put on a lexan body. I've never used vinyl cutters, and perhaps the X-Carve would be able to cut those, but I would not touch that feature. What I like about paint is that the imperfections make each shell unique. Let me know if that explains it a bit!
+HemiStorm RC - Custom RC builds, painting videos and more i understand, can't wait to see more video on and about it. And more paint videos. Thanks bro.
its HUGE!!!
I get that a lot. ;)
