Took her out in the snow today, mainly to test the remote start in the snow and water. All went well until I snapped one of the turnbuckle ends, I would've had pics of the actual session but my daughter couldn't catch me on camera!! Here is a couple aftermath pics.

Nope, because of the temp, the snow was very dry and more powdery. I had no problems.
 
hmm I don't have an engine I might steal my dads and put it in my maxx so I cna cruz.

Nevermind that idea hopefully ill get one from Car God. then get the 2.5 in January but won't be able to break it in AHHH lol
 
Man, I was so hoping for some shots of a T running in the snow. I can't wait for a little to fall down this way, then I can put mine to the test.

Maybe next time, heh M@xximillion?
 
I can't WAIT TO GET MY SAVAGE IN THE SNOW!

I prob wont have my Maxx up and running until sometime in December. Roached yet another mill!!!!!!!!!! New one on the way.

M@xx - the ONLY complaint I have heard from snow runners is that plastic gets brittle. So be careful of things like the plow guides in the driveways etc.

I can't WAIT!
 
El Priata what mill are you going to get?

Thanks to Car God i'm geting a free TRX pro .15 until I can get the 2.5:banana:
 
Wouldn't snow put a lot of stress on your engine and driveline like grass??

Oh, I was going to get a Mutant head for my CV-X. It was running at 280-295 (about 70 degrees outside) with the body off. But if I richened it up anymore, it would run like a pig . So would a Mutant head not allow a CV-X to warm up enough when it's really cold outside??:dumb:
 
Don't you worry about it not getting warm enough. Your previous experience was more related to the problmes of your engine being too rich rather than being too cool.
 
just remember to bring the nitro vehicle inside to let it cool off. if you let them cool of in the snow the connecting rod may get warped
 
plastic sucks in the cold, my friends tmaxxs shocks cracked in half from my aluminume hunk of metal and rpm arms lol didnt mean to slam his truck but my truck slid on the big ice patch in my yard lol


my truck was wide open too lol hahaha it was kinda funny
