Absima Yucatan

The Yucatan is a high-end ready-to-run 1/8th scale crawler based on the successful Absima CR3.4 chassis. All the features that made its smaller brothers in 1/10th scale (Sherpa, Khamba) so successful have been adopted. The 1/8th scale chassis allows for even more extreme maneuvers and the size of the body has made it possible to emphasize details even better, giving the vehicle a beautiful driving look. In addition, there is an 80A speed controller from Hobbywing which is fully programmable (optional program box 2110060). In combination with the larger and more powerful 775 motor, the vehicle reaches a top speed of over 30km/h in 3S LiPo operation. Thus, not only the obstacle, but also the way there is the goal.

A realistically designed 5mm CNC machined aluminum frame with a heavy duty aluminum 4-link suspension system. Oil-filled shocks with 5mm piston rods provide a silky smooth and realistic response. The vehicle comes standard with Medium strength springs (Soft & Hard are optional). Portal axles not only provide a greater distance from the differential housing to the ground than conventional axles, they also have another positive feature. With conventional crawlers, torque applies so much force that the vehicle jumps over the obstacle. The design of portal axles reduces the gear ratio at the wheels and virtually eliminates torque shocks from the drive. The overall reduction ratio of the axle drive is more than double that of non-portal designs to ensure smooth running.
