That's amazing. Not only wouldn't I have thought about it, but if I didn't see it I wouldn't think it was possible. What speed!!!

Boredom in the long, cold German Winter.
A lot less drag on snow than there is in water, but I didn't think the props could get enough bite.
I'm glad you posted that. I'm still amazed. It just looks so WRONG.

Definitely takes the right kind of snow. That was pretty cool. I wonder if he will experiment with a larger prop. Would probably require less RPM's to keep it moving.

Don't know why, but made me think of this:

^^That screw drive thing just looks like a maiming waiting to happen. LOL

That's just crazy, and no I never would have thought of it. I vote it becomes an organized form of RC racing.

I remember seeing that screw drive on some inexpensive RC toys a couple of years ago. It looks like a good idea.
