Default building a u4 track in lake Elmo

Well, finally got my Yeti in hand. And 1st impressions are pretty high. VP hubs are already on. and the stock servo truly blows... Already have to new one in the box ready to go.
Plastic links... Well, they blow, as do the stock tires (non r32) compound. They will have to go as soon as possible.

It is also a hell of a lot of fun on 3cell.... But I feel it may forever run on a two cell. (I will break less!)

Those stock tires feel like they should have been on a power wheels.

Those look like the exact same ones that come with the Wraith Poison Spyder, and they are hard, but going to try and crawl with them tomorrow at Taylors Falls.

Why are there no pics or vid of your new vegetation control apparatus?

I told Mike to take some but I'm not sure he did. It's more fun to just watch a flamethrower than to worry about taking pics of it!

I don't know why, but I can't see the pix you posted, Mike. What configuration did you guys decide on?

We are just kinda making it up as we go. It's only part made up. The idea is to have multiple configurations and change up the track as conditions change.

Are you including reversing the track direction too or is that problematic with the jumps?

Yeah, we've tested what's there so far in both directions... No problem.

And I'm on the good shit too, cause I see the pics as well.
