Default Yeti Snow Skis from TBR

I'm sure its not for everyone, but TBR just released their front Snow Skis for the Yeti. I'm probably going to end up with some for my rustler instead, but i still think the idea is neat.

So you lose 2 driven wheels for skis? I'd rather have 4wd in the snow.

X2 here no water or mud for my Yeti so skis are a non starter.

Oh no fr8cture you killed your Yetis first lump. Nothing says fun like blowing up a motor.

I don't disagree, I would rather keep 4wd for the yeti, but there still may be some out there that just want skis because they want skis, not because it would be better on skis than it would with paddle tires front and rear.

Mount a set of tracks on the back, and 2wd wouldn't be such a problem.

It's RC after all. It's not about what works best, it's about doing whatever the hell you want

Tracks wouldn't last 2 seconds on a yeti.

I was wrenching on my yeti last night and happened to look over and see my incense holder which looks like a wooden ski and thought about skiis on the yeti, but i can't justify loosing 4x4 just to look different. But i think you would need some long wide tracks or it will just sit n spin it's wheels unless on hard pack or a solid surface. The yeti has too much weight towards the front to get traction. Trying to use 2wd on dirt is hard enough without spinning out.

I look forward to seeing a video of these in action. I think the idea is cool, but at the end of the day they need to function. The ski kiels need to be sharp and there needs to be proper dampening to keep them on the snow for initiating turns.
