If I get my NTC3 rtr by christmas, and i drive it in the cold will it be ok?
 
Yes you can, I drove my RS4 3 in about 25 - 30 degree weather on several occasions, but retuning will be necessary, and the plastic parts will be brittle if you do crash, but yes you can drive it in the cold.
 
It doesn't get that cold down here only like 60F on an average in the winter, so I guess its ok, Thanks NC

we get a little colder than 60 deg. we have at least one or two weeks of 32deg plus or minus. but that's about it. other than those few days, it's almost year round playing w/nitro toys.
 
Thats some major ~cold air intake~ 60degrees................man that reely seems cold, but when I'm refueling, I will put my hands over the engine, like a fire:p: ......................:shhh:
 
dude you could freeze out here in texas it get real cold man like 60 degrees burrrrrrr
 
I know that but there is alot of uses for nitro cars well 1 is a heater!
 
yes and another is to piss of your neighbor another is to take down Christmas lights just hook em and gun it
 
"Florida" and "cold" are mutually exclusive terms.

If I lived in Minot, ND I'd put weatherstripping around the body and cover the windshield hole to run it in the winter.

Seattle is temperate. We don't freeze very often. I'll just cover the windshield hole and check the temps while I run.

You should be in good shape for winter running.

NC is right. Impacts in freezing or near freezing weather will snap plastic parts.

Tune it for your ambient air temp and you should be in great shape.
