The Yeti Jr RTR takes everything you admire about the 1/10 scale Yeti chassis and shrinks it down to 1/18 scale - then tops it off with a licensed Can-Am Maverick X3 body for a fun 4WD that anyone can handle. Out of the box, this tiny terror is ready for scale adventures!

Before the Yeti, the only place to find an independent suspension with floating solid rear axle was in full-size off-road vehicles. Axial carried its advantages over into RC rock racers and crawlers. The suspension design give the Yeti Jr responsive handling, increased clearance, and improved stability at high speeds. Its included 380-size motor adds the perfect amount of speed and torque. When that muscle meets the tread of the Maxxis® Bighorn 2.0 radial tires, you've got all the traction you need for fast, smooth rides over virtually any surface.

WARNING: This product is only compatible with NiMH batteries. Do not use a LiPo battery or fire causing serious injury or damage to property may occur.

Axial Yeti Jr. Can-Am Maverick X3 1/18 RTR 4WD Electric Rock Racer Buggy
I was very impressed with the performance of the Can-Am. This little 1/18 scale is the smallest vehicle I have in my fleet, but the "Fun ranking" is larger than its smaller scale size. I had originally planned on strapping this down to my trailer and using it more as a scale accessory for my SCX10-II, but after charging up the battery pack and ripping it around the backyard it has only been towed around twice. It has decent speed on dirt and is pretty quick on asphalt. I've had several roll overs on asphalt and put some good scratches on the body. The real abuse was when I brought it to the shop (1:1 vehicles.) Having run a couple of laps around our 9 bay service area I passed the transmitter to a couple other technicians who have not run RC vehicles. After a while we ended up using the drive-on alignment lift as a ramp and then the fun really began. This little buggy is pretty durable, after several good launches off the alignment lift and landing hard on the concrete everything was still working. Battery run time is about 30-35 minutes (on concrete), the small 380 sized motor paired with the stock gearing provides a really responsive and quick to get up to speed buggy. The plastic control arms and tie rod links have just the right amount of flex so that when you send it full speed and end up crashing into a 1:1 tire mounting machine nothing broke. This little buggy is a great amount of fun for a lower cost entry into RC vehicles. I've had multiple requests to "Bring in the side by side again, man that thing was fun." This Yeti Jr has taken some good beatings but keeps on running.

Very tough machines! i bought this for my 4 year old son to start out with. the different power levels has helped him start out.I was skeptical at first but he drives with us and had been hit hard several occasions with full sized rustlers at full speed and its never missed a beat and is way tougher than we thought. very fast and fun for its size!

Axial Yeti Jr. Can-Am Maverick X3 1/18 RTR 4WD Electric Rock Racer Buggy
I bought two of these units and they were delivered to me on Monday 9-9-2019, I opened the first one up right of way and it worked good, so I waited and opened the second one on Wednesday 9-11-19 and found out this one doesn’t work, it will not go in reverse at all and will go forward intermittently so I know the remote and the unit are bound, so I immediately called A-main and was rudely received by the gentleman on the phone, he eventually sent me an RMA after a Stern conversation, i feel the product has a 3 out of 5 rating but after spending thousands of dollars with Amain I will be very hesitant to buy from Them again.

Axial Yeti Jr. Can-Am Maverick X3 1/18 RTR 4WD Electric Rock Racer Buggy
This thing is awesome! Perfect size great suspension handles great but don’t let the solid rear axle full you it has open diffs front and rear. The steering is amazing a nice feature of the radio is it has a steering rate which comes in real handy depending on how your driving to match what your driving on dirt/ road. The only thing I would complain about is the supplied charger it’s only 500 mill amp it takes 2:30 min to charge the included 1300 mill amp battery my Traxxas 2 amp charger charges it up in 35 mins. One last great thing is this thing runs for 30 plus minutes on a single charge. Great job Axial!

I think its a great lil rc however it would benefit from a brushless kit. Otherwise that and the fact that its not a true 4 link in the rear I think its cool. Gets hung up on most grass unless its just dirt but what can ya expect from something thats so small lol.

Axial Yeti Jr. Can-Am Maverick X3 1/18 RTR 4WD Electric Rock Racer Buggy
this is one of the best little 1/18 scale on the market, as the owner of 3 1/18 scale cars this one's definitely my favorite and for it to come completely RTR for around $170 is a pretty competitive price in my opinion. I thought that it wouldn't be that good because it comes with the STX2 radio system but it is actually really responsive for what is it. One thing I would recommend is purchasing a couple extra nimh batteries because the stock one doesn't last that long. But overall is is a fun little truck.

This is the second one I have purchased. They are fun and tough little rigs. Only bad on the second one is the battery lasts about half the time as the first yeti jr I got. My son and I have a blast driving them in between crawling. I’ll have to order another battery. I dunno why it would be like this.

They need to make this a little wider. It seems to tip over too easily. It also could be faster. Any ideas what motor would be better? Otherwise it's a nice RC.

Now this rig is perfect for a trailer to be towed by your crawler and preforms so good! The options on the market are amazing. I personally waited to get one because I wanted to see what aftermarket parts would be available. And I’m not disappointed at all. Over on Instagram @port_city_rc we are in the process of putting ours to the limits and I know this rig can take it! So if you were curious about this rc wait no more and order yours today. I am ?% happy I did and the first extra parts to order is the paddle tire set! This baby Tears up the beach
