Default ReignRC 2.2 Furless Yeti....
Well I thought that I had better get my comp rig ready for the 07' season. I was on the bubble as far as whether or not to compete this year with the scale scene gathering so much momentum. There is a certain someone that needs to get knocked off the podium since I've slowed up. I won't mention any names (NazT) but he knows who he is :-)

I've tried to make the rig as light as possible above the skid plate. Below that is pretty much fat and chunky. Up top it's sporting a full set of Titanium including some one off titanium stampede goodies. I'm also running custom stainless and titanium links.

I've always loved the Pro-Line Giant Tracs and felt that they where without a doubt the finest crawling tire for a super. I just thought they where a tad wide so I narrowed them up and never looked back. I feel the same way about the Masher 2000's. I think there spot on with the exception of there width. So I narrowed them to the same proportions as my Giant Tracs and I love'em

I've still got to finish the pede tranny (more titanium from Lundsford - Thanks guys) and she for the most part should be ready for next weeks comp.

Enjoy the pics....

That's a good idea. I've never tried the high clearance links before.

Oh I totally understand your pain. I got tired of waiting too (HINT HINT).....So I picked these up on ebay from a guy that makes some custome pede tranny lockouts. He's great to work with and gets the parts to you within a few days. The machine work on his products are unmatched. Each edge is relieved and the finish work it top notch, plus there round and I dig that.

Thanks guys!

Well I got around to finishing up my Furless Yeti.

I've added some MIP CVD's, Erickson 2.2 beadlocks the electronics and a new body.

It seems to be pretty dialed. I can't wait to test it out.

Kind of off topic, but do you have pics of the narrowed giant tracs? I would like to see those.
