It’s been getting cold where I live, I want to know when not to run my RC’s due to excessive breakages. I have an Arrma Typhon 3s that’s all stock if that helps.
 
It's not any given temp where they will just immediately break. The colder it is, the greater the chance it will break.
 
Well, yesterday was 63F and I launched a Senton 3s about 20 - 30 feet into the air multiple times, I only broke a rear bulk head/shock tower and front bumper. I think below 60F is when I shouldn’t launch them.
 
I mean launching anything 20-30ft in the air and your gonna end up with breakages even if its 100F outside. Id say your risk of breakage probably doesn't start getting substantially higher until under 40F but thats just a guesstimate on my part.
