Winter modified Rustler!

Added skis and paddle tires to make it go better in the snow!

Looks cool. Do you notice any steering loss with the skis installed?

Make sure to post some action shots when you get a chance.

Those rear tires look mean as hell, should get a good roostertail outa em easy.

 

[AC48]

That looks sweet, be sure to get some video though

 

[akmadmaxx]

There is no steering loss, there are skags on the bottom of the skis that make it turn really well. I did break a plastic (stock) steering arm though.

The tires are awsome! They shoot a mean roost! When in the deeper stuff they really hook up and you can't keep the skis on the ground!

I will get some action shots or video when I get the aluminum steering arms in.

What do you mean "or"? I believe you meant to say "and" lol.

Man I would love to see a video of that... What skis are you using? Are those for a plane or did someone finaly make some for rc carrs?

[AC48]

Cool, lets see it.

 

[kazi]

can you make a pic of the skags on the bottom of the skis ? I did a custom skis and one of my mean concerns is steering loose.

 

[akmadmaxx]

Yeah sure, here they are, sorry I didnt get to it sooner.

 

[kazi]

Cool, thank's :thumbup:

That looks awesome! I'm hoping that my 4wd MT2 (getting it at x-mas) will be able to drive reasonably well in the white stuff too. Since it's 4wd i obviously can't hook up skis like that, but I will try 4 paddle tires. I don't get a ton of snow (SE Pennsylvania) but we do see some and it would be a ton of fun to be able to run it out when my car can't even go out
