World's BIGGEST Axial Yeti XL - Twin Motored 2x6s HemiStorm Yeti XXL
ฝัง

- After a few weeks of kicking back and just running cars for once, I'm doing another build. I really like the Axial Yeti XL that I built, and after beating it for a few weeks I've found out where I can improve it, and where I want to take it. One of the major features of the Yeti XL (and for some a reason to complain) is the torque twist. I for one love it, as it makes a solid rear axle car handle the way it does. Although the sway bar eliminates most of the torque twist there is still a bit left, no issue unless you want to alter it. A lot.
One of my favorite all time cars is the Exo Terra, it looks scale, has four seats and handles like a dream. I thought combining the best of both worlds might be a cool idea for a new project, building a four seater Yeti XL.
The cage of the XL is pretty much square, and hacking it up should not pose too much of an issue. After doing some measuring I also found that making the cuts in the spots of the photoshopped image would make sure I can mount a second transmission case, and a second motor. I have two Castle Creations Mamba Monster 2 setups that I'm going to drop in this build. Both of them will have a separate 6S power supply, the adjusted battery trays should be able to house four 3S packs.
To avoid having to custom build any drive shafts and so on, my initial idea is to have one motor dedicated to the front drive train, and have one for the rear axle. The ESC of the rear part of the drive train should be able to get mounted in the fuel cell, provided that I vent it properly. Running a double ESC and motor setup will also allow me to set up a dig system, in which the front and rear drive is operated separately or tuned down gradually to enable the Yeti XXL to crawl better.
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.

The final thing on my list was wiring and connecting the assembly. After years of Deans connectors and being a bit fed up with shrink tubing, I have gotten some Castle wiring, and more importantly some 6.5mm Castle Connectors for the Yeti XL. I believe Castle Creations has struck gold with these, as they are easy to solder up, don't require any shrink tubing and have huge bullet connectors to deal with massive current. After installing them on the Yeti XL, I think the Castle Connectors will find their way into all of my electric rides. Stack up on solder when you get them, as they require quite a bit to get fully secured.

That's the most bad-ass Yeti ever. Awesome work. Really love the 4 person body. Keep up the great work.
Absolutely awesome!!!! Very unique, cant wait to see the final product and see how it goes. Great work as always and thanks for sharing.
OzSpeed RC A big update coming this week. :)
The time lapse slider shots are really well done and add for a nice visual. You are upping your video production value a ton and it shows.
Wow Chris! That's an amazing custom build! Absolutely ingenious! Can't wait to see more progress! Also, your editing skills are getting better and great job on the use of the new track system for your camera! Great shots!
I see something new every time I watch! Thanks Chris, and thanks for the chat this afternoon.
Lee
wow man...the cage and the body looks so "original", just incredible! this is really the next level modifikation. you are the RC Chip Foose bro!
and again, thanks for the awesome hangout last night! its my L.A./Miami rc-story this year....for sure ;)
John Doe, haha! Thank you for a great hangout too, I had a good time chatting with you guys.
Awesome Chris! You should've thought: 'Just because it's possible, why not?' Can't wait for the next video!! Thumbs up from Holland!
Unbelievable build. I give you a ton of credit for this. What you are doing is amazing!!! I can't wait to see it run!
Almost like an Exo XL. Super sweet! Can't wait to see this thing all done!!!
Wow man! Really cool, can't wait to see the final product and then see it run. You are like RC Frankenstein!
Thats EPIC! Always taking things to the next level. Gonna be bad ass for sure. Thumbsup
Absolutely bloody awesome... you've done some of the best builds in RC in the past but i think this might just be my favourite so far
Cant wait for the next video !
This thing is going to be a BEAST. Cant wait to see the rest of this series and a running vid of this monster...AWESOME....Thanks
Just amazing Chris, your talent has no boundaries. This is going to be an epic build
That is both insane and one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in RC.
Very nice comment, sometimes you need to take a risk to see what will happen. So far so good.
HemiStorm RC - Custom RC builds, painting videos and more Very cool build, i want to see it run in the "grustag" ;)
I really appreciate those mad modders out there! Great job can't wait to see the final finish! Keep it up!
Will do! Thank you for the kind words.
Been getting your older videos recommended; epic build man.
I have had a Yeti Xl for a long time now, and wanted to do something with it. Then I remembered your videos of Yeti XXL. I had to do it! You weren't shitting us about the back of the cage! I finally got that done ✅ but not until after some blood was shed. Now I'm reviewing your videos for the rest of the cage carnage. Thanks for all your tips and videos!
I hope yours is coming together nicely!
It is, thanks Chris. I put it on hold for now to finish the "Project Tonka Dump" for my grandson. After all, he is why I got back into this addictive hobby.
That looks a whole lot like a Arrma Fireteam, minus the rear axle and suspension. I love it already.
Right on! This was quite some time before it was ever launched. :)
Can't wait to see this beast in action! You are a fool to come up with this idea, I admire how your brain works.
That's insane man... Major props. Can't wait to see the finished product.
now thats some Crazy building project Chris
greetings from the Netherlands
Sweet build man! Can't wait to see the finished project.
A Yeti XL DoubleCab! Looks fantastic, you did a great job (as always)!
And just want to say my respect and admiration buddy. There just isnt enough heavy modification going on on youtube right now. Awesome huge thumbs up from the UK. Keep up the incredible work my friend
Thank you Paul! I think the release of this platform will be a start of a lot of custom builds, there are a ton of ways to modify this RC.
Brilliant. I have done similar with the Traxxas Tmaxx/Emaxx and Tamiya Blackfoot both have been every scale from 1/8 to 1/6 and a few inbetween. So I love to see others doing big builds. Im just in the process if trying to make a 20 year old Tamiya Blackfoot a 4x4
Baddest Yeti XXXXL EVER!!
Cheers my friend.. Can't wait to see it ripping up the trails
Thanks man, with summer right around the corner I will have it done right in time!
Great job Chris! I cant believe how scale it looks!
That looks ginormous and amazing love the look and transitions youve done to it
This will be a sick truck can't wait for a running video
That looks totally sick bro. ..... Your a mad scientist man
Wow man this is an awesome project! Very excited to see this thing in action!
Cool project. Stock axial looks like fog, but this will be great offroad limo. gj Chris
Dude, I'm in total awe just looking at that beast !!!!!
You crazy Dutch :p
Awesome work Chris, just über awesome !!!
Hello Marty, it was good chatting with you yesterday!
Likewise brother, I had a ton of fun man !!!!
This is a super cool build. Well done. Cant wait to see the final product.
And I can't wait to be able to finish it, I want to take it for a spin!
Absolutely INSANE! Like a mad scientist/engineer.
Holy crap Chris that thing is gonna be one wicked car (axial yeti 2XL)
i got the exo terra in a trade along with a 4port simultaneous balance charger. for a computer monitor. so sick. a little beat up around the corners, but with some lovin' she'll be fancy.
You are lucky, they are becoming quite rare!
Great job.... that one master peace... cant wait 4 the next video... once again GREAT JOB AND NOW I WANT ONE
this is bad ass body and cage look great looks like it was made that way great job hemi keep it up!!
man I have one of those axial yetis, awesome build dude, I might take on that project. great work my friend!!
It was great fun to put it together.
I cant wait to see part 2 of this build. very awesome indeed.
Wow buddy I love it. Looks a lot like a 1/6 Exo Terra. Awesome really cant wait to see this beast in action
The look I'm hoping to achieve indeed! Too bad those are discontinued, one hell of a nice RC.
Yeah so I gather ironically Ive never even seen one in real life only in videos on youtube
Oh Yes! A 4 seater! Crazy awesome idea!
An inflated Exo Terra, haha!
cant wait until you finish it!
Awesome looking built! cant wait to see the next video!
That's amazing engineering. I'm jealous. good job.
awesome project, cant wait to see the final product
Wow that looks awesome! Some next level modding right there.
This is a very nice platform to work on!
That's bananas... What a crazy idea, but I love it bro~!
That's gonna be sick once it's built Chris well done buddy
Doing my best to make it look like a factory finish.
Awesome project, cant wait to see more on the build.
Thanks Brandon!
Awesome Build looking forward to the rest.
that thing is unreal cant wait to see it going
Nice work Chris keep it coming my friend. Interesting indeed.
Craziest build indeed. can't wait next footage
To make the next parts I have an amazing piece of equipment on the way.
Makes me want a yeti
It reminds me of a exo but with a solid rear axle looks amazing man
The Exo is still one of my favorite cars, with a solid rear and in this scale I'm building something I have wanted for years.
Awesome! Your so great at custom work!
Thanks Tommy, the Yeti XL is a car that opens up a whole range of new possibilities. A platform like this was very welcome!
That is crazy awesome love it can't wait to see it running
that's nuts, but awesome. great build chris. looking forward to the next build vid.
I think you will like the next couple of steps. ;)
bold plan. waiting for complete body and painting
These are nice shells to paint, easy to handle since they are multiple pieces.
Just when you thought the yeti couldn't get any bigger. Lol Cant wait to see the final product.
Not sure if bigger will be better, but it's real nice to make something different.
Oh yea for sure! That's why I love being in the rc world! I'm in the process of making a custom trophy truck.
You might want to look in changing you wheel hubs out to a 23mm hex and add a 13mm extended hub to give it the wider look. My Yeti is running Losi size wheel and tire handle much nicer.... Anyway just a thought. Good luck to the build my friend.
Hurry up Hemistorm - dying for next video!!!!⚡️
Epic build my friend!!!! Keep them coming ;-)
AWESOME!! looking good Sir , cant wait for the next vid of this :)
Very creative and awesome attention to detail...
Coolest build I've ever seen
That is a crazy awesome build. I'm subbing just so I can see this one finished.
Wow! Can't wait to see the finished product.
A few more days before I can start on the rest, can't wait.
You should make a mini yeti with the other halves you have left...that would be cool also.
EPIC! I have been waiting :)
Thanks Josh! Cool to read you like where this is going, supercool project to be working on.
That is bad Azzz!!! Love your show!!!
Really like this one, well done Chris!
Hi Joe, I hope you are doing good! :)
HemiStorm RC - Custom RC builds, painting videos and more Yes, thanks buddy. Just super busy with my new job.
That is sick can't wait to see it finish
Amazing Idea!!! I think that should get a race theme in Orange and Blue if u want colour or a Dull Black with glossy awesome red and maybe an cool third accend...
Just my thoughts when i see your XXL4 :D
rock on!
so freakin sweet! great work man!
NIIIIICE !!! Realy BIG build! I`m just wondering if there is a possible way to synchronise those two motors to work together for example with one ESC!?!?!
Damn man that is sweet. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Chris! (Great first name by the way!)
you're nuts..
i hope it turns out great...
can't wait to see more...
I'm eagerly awaiting a delivery to finish it up, more info next week I hope!
right on
This Build is EPIC, AWESOME!!!
That's very kind, I can't wait for the next pieces of the puzzle to come in.
I can't wait to see the final build, going to look sic. Are you going to mock up a piece of sheet metal for under body? 12s 😲😲😲😲
WOW.. Dude, you're the master RC . :)
+Paulo Instantinno And you are very kind!
Wow, what a great project!
Having a blast with it!
Very cool project mate. Interested to see more of this and how it runs/ holds together!random.. But where r your caps from? A hemistorm cap be a cool item to buy for my son ( like the fit lol) keep up the great work! Thumbs UP! :)
It would be AWESOME if you modeled it after the four seater RZR buggys
Looks much better then the Axial one good Job
The regular XL is a great looking ride in my book, and it offers a very cool base to start modding from.
Holly crap batman that is a epic build
Thanks, kind regards, Bruce Wayne. ;)
I think getting some wide trac wheels would make it more stable for how much power and length it has.
Best programme on TV ;O) Great Idea Great execution endless possibilities it all clicks now... X carve delrin ....
Any plans for the leftovers Yeti L Trailer maybe??? ;O)
Cool man, are you still living in Norway?
Can't wait to see this done and tested, keep it up!
Awesome! Big truck!
Why not just simple make a different shock tower for the frt for the extra shocks,or look for a tower off of another truck ? ,great build how much to build one for sale ?
that looks amazing mate
Hopefully it will look even better blasting uphill!
really impressive bro.
Love it Chris, that is krazy kool bro
you should get it the wheel wideners to make it look a little better.
Do they make axial's that will make my truck line up with the body
Holy moly... what a projet can't wait to se more.
Easy and great fun to put together, I hope to see more of these around!
It is so cool bro. Big fan from Danmark.
This is just insane. But awesomely insane 👍
