The truck actually goes like a champ on the snow until the skid plate at the front grounds out then it just spins and sinks.... 
Climbing over stuff covered in snow is hard, especially with a wheely king as the middle grounds out really easy. As soon as you even lift a little weight off the tyres the snow-filled treads just spin up even at low throttle.

the problem with that is, both left tires would have to spin at the same rate. Same with the right. Not to mention getting ahold of some rims that would acomodate(sp) treads. There is also the matter of finding treads. Unless you could find some like you can get for quads... That would be cool.

Gone - bye bye.
I ran with Pam on my comp rig to see what would happen, but I didn't notice much difference over the regular delrin on the rocks, and I stayed awake until 4 in the morning thinking about the yuck on my crawler until I finally got up and cleaned the whole thing.
