Is it ok to drive in the snow? or is it really bad for all the components like the servos and the motor heating up from running and cooling down rapidly?
 
Never ran T-Maxx in snow but I love running my Savage in the snow. You might want to water proof the electronics though. Also you may need to wrap the cooling head to keep the motor warm enough.
 
yeah its only 40 degrees here in maryland and i am still having issues keeping it under 310 i had to richen it a 1/2 turn
 
i also ran it in the snow and covered up nothing (Except I did Put my baby girls sock Around my Cooling Head) and i did ruin my stering servo and ruined some barrings, Just make sure u blow it off and spray it with wd-40 and i will be snow proofing my maxx this year its already snowin right now well it just turned to rair but will b snowin again tonite
 
i dont wrap my engine. i use waterproofing balloons to waterproof it, i like the baloons cuz their temporary.
 
It bit me today Michigan got like two inches of fresh snow and the steering servo took a poop and it ran crappy I had it to rich and it was loading up the engine I fo from my back yard to my front which is probable 75 yards. By the time I reached the front it was bogging, but when I would be moving about 5 mph and pin the throttle it would just rip.
