And watch that -30°C. Make plastic awfully brittle. I grew up in Transcona so I know what you're in for. | |

Yep, picking up your rig by the trail bar is typically no-go unless you have a metal bumper. They snap pretty quick. I typically only run crawlers in the winter and haven’t broken too much over the years. It’s too cold to run on rocks because the frozen tires won’t hook up on smooth surfaces, so it’s mostly all trail runs. | |

Have started playing around with Traxxas parts 8080 and 8081, the narrow fender and fender extensions. The Narrow inner fenders are definitely a nice design. Robust at the expense of considering weight would be an appropriate description. I am happy with them. Traxxas 8081, the fender extensions are of a bit of a less obvious reward. They too are heavy. That said it looks like I will be trimming away about 50% of each flap that I use Here are the flap extensions mounted to the narrow inner fender, both bottom and top views repectively Here is where you drill out the inner fender 8080 to fit the extenders 8081 Because these extension mount in wheel well of the inner fender, they eat up space for tire compression. Here on the front well they are fine EXCEPT , at full lock and full compression the tire pushes into the extender My plan is to trim the rubber fender extender(yes, it is rubber) right back or outright remove the front 1/4 of it altogether. All I really need is the extension to cover the rear portion of the front wells where snow and debris can get into the electronics. There is no rubbing or interference in the rear portion of the front wheel wells. |

| Re: Winter is Coming............again? Couldn't get link to work. Regardless, I find it hard to imagine the fun in these Trax during summer. For me these are just to make winter a bit more playful. They are something different and Traxxas makes such a solid product so its easily to feel confident that they aren't junk

There has been much digression on the Yeti Rescue project as of late. Delay on the arrival of the Bowhouse battery tray has put the proverbial devil into idle hands. It is a sight to behold, a sight to be forgotten... ... Finally, after being shuffled across the continent and through international borders low centre of gravity has found it's way into the Devil's latest aquistion, the garage where the Yeti Resucue project resides, where idle hands found their way to distraction . Thankfully the install went smoothly beacause the Devil's deed is not so easily undone. Shag has fallen upon the fire-water and Jon Snow's Head has taken to a lengthy and self serving interview with the lead applicant's head. The applicant is vying for the esteemed position of onboard navigator. Apparently Jon has moved on from the crushing and murderous breakup conjured by his relationship to the Queen of Dragons. |

| Re: Winter is Coming............again? Absolutely. The one in the link you showed may not be wide enough in the middle. Perhaps one day I’ll look into getting a custom one made.Really, you want it to be narrow towards the wrists with a wide spot in the middle Where your hands meet the transmitter
