Its 31 out right now. Frost is here.

I keep saying I'm gonna get to my local track for some winter/cold weather track time... 🤞

I am almost done with the track car build, finally! I do hope to get it on the track! Its been WAY too long!!! 😎

I have a bunch of cars that need resto. Just tinkering on them will keep me more than busy otherwise.

I will prob buy a couple small crawlers for indoors too. 😎😁👍

Careful! Mini crawlers are addicting as all heck. If you like building and tinkering.... they will consume you 😂

Same. Nitros do give me a headache but that's part of the experience😤😂

Just warm them up indoors and then go out 😎 🤣
 
RC stuff I want to do this winter:
  1. Procure and build a VS4-10 chassis for my 3D printed Jeep bodies
  2. 3D printed jet boat
  3. Bash my Slash around in snow on paddles
  4. 3D print another jeep body because, why not? Two isn't enough.
  5. Do not allow myself to buy one of the 1/30 Axial trucks

Yeah, I see that!!! 🤣

I would LIKE to get a pair of 1/10 scale but they might be too big for my indoor needs.
Perfect for outside I think tho. 😎

I don't think I would enjoy the micro hardware involved with the tiny rc's. Too tiny and giant hands... Hulk smash!!! 🤷‍♀️

Theres a solution for me out there for me that doesn't involve a plastic surgeon and baby hands! I'm almost sure of it! 🤣

I have extremely tired old mechanics hands. I have very little issue with the scx24 hardware. Atleast my hands dont. My eyes are another story. I can only wrench about 20 minutes on them without glasses before everything turns to a blur... getting older sucks 😂
 
Hit up the local drift tracks (if you have any) I’ve got 2 local soon to be 3 and, one that’s about 2 hours away. All indoors and warm😀👌
We don't got any 😭. Nor do I have a drift car. 😭
I run em... I love the cold and I have a couple rigs that I can run in the snow with no cares...
Its the hot summer days that get me, not the ice 😂
Same here! Just need to find or create a motor protection plate for the trx-4, waterproof the slash a bit, and I've got some fun stuff 😁.
1/18th crawler indoors for sure, and maybe one of these axial scx30's. long builds and the occasional Snowrunner video game lol
I think I'll be making a 6x6 conversion for the trx-4m and then put a k10 with a flatbed on.That will be fun. I haven't played showrunner, but I'll probably try it soon since I've got Xbox GamePass.
I've got a Grey Redcat 1/18 Apex on the way. Gonna build indoor crawler stuff for the cold months.
Cool 😁. I've heard about those ones. Not terrible. What type of stuff are you making? I'm thinking of making something in many pieces so I can re configure it a bunch and have fun.

Foam blocks from shipping boxes & cheap wooden yard sticks from the hardware store. I cut them & make obstacles. I made a see-saw ramp a few years ago for my AX24 & it's cool. I also use books.

I've always been intrigued by the lightweight indoor flyers. :thumbs-up: I've watched a few vids and there are some amazing planes that look like they shouldn't be able to move that slow.
