    Fun times. Yeti SCORE Trophy Truck. Started with a 2s LiPO and went for 3s. Much better.

    I don't know I could draw a direct comparison between the two yet. They're different. Different suspension setups. Different motor/driveline. They're both very sweet vehicles.

    I've been thinking about adding one to my collection. I almost pulled the trigger on one from tower hobbies until I saw that coupon codes could not be used for that model. I'm hoping things go like they did for the XO-1 and the price drops off after a while. We shall see!!

    You're gonna need a couple hundo just in batteries to get going. It runs with two of the big 3s batteries. Maybe the coupon code for that instead?
    I want one but I'm gonna wait a bit.

    I'm good on batteries. I have a "few" other RC cars and trucks and a shit ton of batteries from 2S to 6S lipos. I just built a yeti xl last summer and most recently picked up an associated B44.3 4wd 1:10 scale buggy. Like someone else said...it starts with one and then it's just as bad as modding the Tacoma. For me it all started with a brushed Rustler. I'm glad my wife is beyond cool too. Between RC cars, stuff for the truck, guns and cycling the average wife would have had a major shit fit, lol!! I have too many hobbies!
    This is a few of them on the wall.

    I figured sometime after Christmas I'd get one. But I want one of those SC10s too. I'm convinced to get the brushed version and then upgrade some bits. We'll see.

    That's not even a quarter of them all! And don't forget the airplanes, multirotors, and boats!

    That is so cool. I had a friend with a Miss Budweiser RC when we were younger. So fast and so fun.
