Why did Axial stop making this?

Horizon Hobby is the worst thing to happen to Axial. They used to make all sorts of cool stuff, but now they only make crawlers... Granted, they make some of the best RC rock crawlers on the market, but why don't they make anything as legendary as the Exo Terra, or the Yeti? In this episode of 10th Scale Garage, we take a look back at some of the forgotten Axial legends, and out the Yeti through its paces.

Thanks for keeping the yeti alive. Also to note there wasn’t much aftermarket support while others held the limelight for upgrades

I think many people wanted this rig to be more a singular focused rc when it’s actually multi focused as a rock racer. It may get over rocks but not slowly enough for the crawlers!
Your 100% right about how things are being marketed. You notice Redcat didn’t get sucked in as they are still making the awesome Wendigo. Awesome video, awesome forgotten truck, and very valid points. I love these rock racers!

[Genrou]

Totally agree! I love old Axial. I have the Exo Terra, Yeti, Yeti Score, and 3 Yeti XLs.

I got into the hobby just after Axial discontinued the Yeti and couldn't find them anywhere. I wish they would bring it back. I love my crawlers but I want something like this for forest trails with the kids. It's fast and fun and can be slow with a good sensored system. Perfect middle ground between a crawler and go fast rigs.

I love my Yeti Jr. It's a fun ripper on dirt, tarmac, and even drifting.

Vattera Twin Hammers was awesome and Feiyou 6*x6 was crazy fun

[spencertidd]

I still love my Yeti XL! You've given me the idea to make a drifter out of it!

[cagerage]

I've owned several of them. Make sure to upgrade the bellcrank and trailing arms. The rear AR60 axle is decent but beeftubes help and aluminum lockouts are a must!

[Highstakeshobbies]

We need a yeti 2.0 for sure, the OG yeti is still also still my all time favourite. The UDR seem to be the next best thing.

I love my Yeti XL..missed out getting the 10th scale..sold out. Cool truck.

[rickknabel]

I still have my score trophy truck. Axial had some cool rigs. I’m hoping to find a 1/10 yeti to add to the collection

[Nerm]

I had a 1/10 yeti and traded it before I even ran it like a big fat dumb ass😢 great video as always guys!

[TheUnknown]

Ecx. I love the affordable aspect of it. They look great. I mean they brought out the ECX BRUTUS monster truck.

[scottjackson]

Another great video. After watching this I picked up a second hand one, but has a brushed system, what brushless system do you think would be a great option, was the rtr a 3s brushless system. Cheers love watching you guys.

I really wish the vaterra twin hammer was still in production. One of my favorite rc crawlers to run.

I have a Yeti that I won in a Facebook raffle, and it's loaded with upgrades. Vanquish, MIP, Proline, SSD and RC4WD all over it, and it keeps killing steering servos, by stripping the teeth off the servo horn, despite having 2 servo savers!!! It's the most expensive paperweight I have, and would love to keep it running. Finding original parts in the UK is hard. I've been looking for a body set and rear cage for a reasonable price for 2 years, with no luck.

It's a shame Horizon seems to have the power to have so much influence over the hobby, when really, it's should be us customers who tell them what we want, not the other way round!!

But isn't that the way of the world at the moment? Being fed a diet of social media that 'influences' what we think we want, by showing us how good life can be if we buy this product, or that

Just get out there and enjoy life. It's not a rehearsal, and you don't get to try again.

I'm determined to get my Yeti working, and seeing your video is the inspiration I need.

Cheers guys. 😎👍🏻

I love the 380 as well. Fazon 6S is another awesome one not produced anymore!
...and I feel Baja Rey 2.0 may be the last of it's kind from Losi

[canuckchuck]

The Axial Wraith Spawn... I wanted one so badly but unfortunately, they discontinued it literally months before I was able to pick one up.

[boduke]

In typical Arrma fashion this Axial has great attention to detail😂 i have been looking for a deal on a good used XL.

[ianrichardson]

Hpi firestorm flux. Love that truck and still regret I sold it to this day. Hpi makes a model that’s similar to it today, but not the same.😢
