Axial Racing Yeti XL Aluminium Extra Size Locking Wheel Washer by GPM YTL005A  [YTL005A]

Yeti XL locking wheel washer overview

This aluminium locking wheel washer set is made for the Axial Racing Yeti XL platform and supplied by GPM as YTL005A. Sold as a 4pcs set, the parts are intended to replace or upgrade the standard wheel washers on Yeti XL wheel hubs to improve mechanical retention between the wheel, hex and nut in RC-scale use.

Functionally the washer acts as a locking intermediary that sits between wheel hex and wheel nut to reduce rotation or loosening under vibration and hard acceleration typical in off-road RC running. The extra size profile suits larger wheel hubs found on the Yeti XL without changing hub geometry.

Installation is straightforward for experienced hobbyists: remove the wheel, fit the washer over the wheel hex against the wheel face, then reinstall the wheel nut to the manufacturer torque recommendation. No changes to bearings, axle or suspension geometry are required, and the washers are compatible with standard wheel hex assemblies used on Yeti XL wheels.

Tuning role: this is a small, low-mass upgrade aimed at mechanical security rather than handling. Use the washers when you need firmer wheel retention for aggressive cornering or loose-surface running, or as part of routine maintenance to replace worn or deformed stock washers.
