| Winter is Coming............again?
2019-Who knew? Jon Snow's head has been temporarily brought out of Carbonite freezing to help oversee the building of a new Yeti rescue vehicle. The illusive species has become an invaluable ally north of the wall but unfortunately they are being threatened by the blow of winters evil wind. This invisible force generated by Winter is proving to be more than the Yeti can handle. The attacks are swift and powerful. In fact they are enough to freeze the testicles of a species once believed to be impervious to winter's evil. The species survival is being threatened! Here is Jon unwinding from the neck up. Being briefed by Shaggy, the head mechanic. The bones of the rig are the bombproof TRX-4. Slight modifications will be made in order to make it off road and deep snow ready. It needs to be capable of navigating the craggy and stormy terrain north of the wall. So Shaggy built it up with a Wertymade steel bumper to maximize clearance and approach angles The tires are Pitbull Rock Beasts. They will be interchangeable with a set of unstoppable Tracks to help the vehicle reach both the craggy peaks and run the snowy valleys. The Tracks are currently in production while our mechanic and advisor work on other logistics. The Rock Beasts are seen above. Below can be seen the SSD steel wheels that will be depended on to hold on to those PB's like the white-knuckled vice John Rob Holmes, the purveyor of parts breaking power has been tapped for his expertise and finely tuned torque. Originally planning a brushed system including the HW1080 and a HH Trailmaster Sport 550, the team is now leaning towards the kick-ass Mamba X to power the HH 2700kv Puller Pro. Moisture resistance is paramount and power will be required for the Tracks to pull this rig out of the deeps This is just the beginning. Stay tuned for updates after Jon finishes his smoke(don't know how long that will take) A few pics of the TRX-4 from production These portals should only help with deep snow clearance. Bonus! |

Speaking of Winter - Are you planning on getting the Trax for Winter smog?

Not sure if I’m ready or not but, I do have a snowplow for the TRX4 that’s been sitting around!

I'm not a fan of that 4-letter word you speak of that starts with S! But I am looking forward to seeing what you have planned for this build! Subscribed! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk |

I hear ya. I make the best of it, but winter is limiting with the short day and bitter cold. It would be pretty awesome if someone came up with a winter tire compound for RC Quote:

I find it all depends on the snow consistency as well. Up to this point, the best performing tires I've run in the snow have been Hyrax.

Threw in the Puller Pro last night at about 1am. The way the motor mount incorporates the spur cover is interesting. It actually took me awhile to accept how it was designed. Very different from any past build. The Puller might have the sexiest can I have ever seen! ooh,la la |

Very interested in seeing how good the Trax work. My plan for the snow is a set of paddle tires for the UDR.

So, the arrival of the trax got Shag a little bit titillated. Feeling a bit uneasy, Jon Snow's head suggested to him that he might break out the airbrush and parlay his energy toward some creativity. So Shag painted a Yeti on the Yeti Rescue Truck | |
