Crawling in the cold?

[Kingmeow]

What's the consensus of running in cold weather? I know about the temperature effects on the batteries but what about the lexan body? Brittleness of the plastic? Affects of thicker viscosity in the differentials?

We got a bunch of snow here in the northeast and the front end loaders have made these huge mountain of snow!

The differentials are making their own heat to keep them in good shape.I know it's not a great deal of heat. But it's some.and as for the body.....I've never broken one running in the snow. People run their trucks in the snow sometimes more than they do in warmer weather.I say go have some fun.

The coldest it's been for me was mid 20 degree weather. ran for a couple hours and didn't break anything. The only carnage I have seen that could be related to weather is rod ends on a wraith. It was cold that day and we had 3 or 4 go out in one afternoon.
