Given how much of the engine's cooling is derived from incoming fuel-air mixture, I've been thinking of an intake duct/manifold that goes around the cooling head and draws air across it before feeding it to the air filter, so that you're not feeding the engine ice-cold air. I bet if the intake temp was brought up to just 70-80F it would run as if on a perfect summer day. Maybe even better because it'd be nearly 0% relative humidity. I bet even just running a body with no ventilation holes could have a beneficial effect. I'll have to experiment this winter.
Kyosho made a Blizzard-GP, ostensibly intended to be run in wintery weather...
Thanks for all the feedback guys.
This sounds like a great project to do, pls let us know how it goes, should you go ahead with it.
It seems that big majority of prefer to warm up the engine before starting.
