Axial Yeti Jr Can-Am Maverick X3 Rock Racer, RTR, No Longer Available

Axial's Yeti Jr Can-Am Maverick X3

Equipping a 1/18th scale with 4WD is just the start of what makes the Yeti Jr RTR the pocket-sized ultra adventurer that you’ve been looking for. Perfect scale detail in the licensed Can-Am Maverick X3 body means you can look and act the part of the off-road all-terrain basher that its 1/10th scale big brother was.

Floating solid rear axles and independent suspension used to be the exclusive domain of full-scale off-road vehicles. Until the Yeti came along! As a driver, you can now enjoy Axial’s carry over to RC in 1/18^th scale. The Yeti Jrs suspension design gives you increased clearance, improved high-speed stability, and, responsive handling. The brushed 380-size motor ensures you have just the right amount of torque and speed. To harness and transfer that power the Yeti Jr is kitted out with Bighorn 2.0 radial tyres by Maxxis which means you get a smooth fast ride over just about any surface you choose to tackle.  

Improved handling and stability

The Yeti Jr has upper and lower mounting points on its rear axle for the trailing arm which enables fine-tuning of your suspension setup.

The Independent Front Suspension (IFS) on the 4WD Yeti Jr allows you to tackle a varied array of terrains while holding stability at high speeds. The IFS enables you to keep your Yeti Jr headed in its intended direction when one side of the car is adjusting to an obstacle without the need to sacrifice speed.

Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 tyres with Can-Am wheels 

The non-directional tread pattern on the Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 tyres makes it suitable for a range of different conditions. Secured with a strong 12mm hex the combination of Maxxis tyres and Can-Am wheels mean you are fully equipped to tackle gravel, dirt, rocks, grass and anything else you may encounter in your backyard.

AR18 Solid Rear Axle

The performance expectations of the Yeti Jr could not be met by simply scaling down an existing axle. In order to achieve sufficient terrain clearance as well as integrating the correct proportions, the AR18 axle came into existence. The new axle features a three-linked rear suspension with a sway-bar built into the design to enhance handling improvements. All of this is packed into a two-piece compact design with a captured pinion gear.

To allow you to tune the dampening rate the threaded shock bodies hold an oil filled single coil over spring.

Despite its 1/18^th scale, the Yeti Jr’s drive train has 48P gearing rather than micro gearing. This enhances the Yeti’s toughness and reliability while also enabling you the option of configuring the gearing to your liking. The 15T metal pinion gear is mated to the spur gear for the best gearing set up for you.
