NOTES
Gear Mesh Adjustment
Rear Suspension Tuning Upper Link Adjustments
•AX31104 Mounts can be installed on
either side of the AX31103 Chassis Tub
•Swapping the AX31104 mounts will
provide a suspension more suited to low
speed technical terrain. This also
requires flipping the upper shock
bushings. The RTR stock setup is more
suited for high speed stability.
•Upper Shock bushings rotated to
relocate shocks and line up with
AX31109 Lower Links.
•Moving the upper links at the chassis
will change the anti-squat characteris-
tics of the Yeti under power.
•RTR Stock: Upper hole, more
Anti-Squat for more rear traction under
power.
•Optional lower holes, less Anti-Squat
for less rear traction under power.
•Remove X2 M2.6x8mm AXA0413
Flatheads from AX31107 Spur Cover to
gain access to spur and pinion
•Loosen X2 M4x12mm AX31121
Capheads from AX31106 Motor Mount
