Axial Yeti Update & Repairs

After 2 really hard runs with the Axial Yet at IPSWICH BMX Trails, it's time to get it on the workbench and fix what I broke. I take full responsibility for the broken shock shaft, crumpled trailing arm, and broken diff cover, but all 4 tires coming free from the bead lock is due to poor design or assembly process. Luckily it should be an easy fix, but it is annoying. Being an RTR, I planned to replace plastic parts as they broke. Here's a list of the parts I've got coming from TCS Crawlers.
