Default Des Moines Cold Weather GTG

Here are some pics of a GTG gooba had in Des Moines on Saturday. The crawling was great, but the 22* weather and 30 mph wind kicked our *sses.






Some pics of my TLT. Got some 1100mah 2/3 A cells on Friday. They weight 8.2 ounces less then a sub-c pack and I still got 40 minutes of run time. I think I got the truck to light though. Need some BB's in the tires now.




Some pics of gooba's truck.




My TXT.





Pics of gooba and thaclodking freezing their *sses off. It was so cold we couldn't feel our fingers. Do you have any idea how hard it is to change batteries or put on body clips that way?

Now you can post up the pics of your truck Jay

Nope, gooba said he never called. Your hand would have been killing you after about 5 minutes in that weather.

Hay, what does the weather look like in Cedar Rapids next weekend?

The cold was only painfull until you couldn't feel anymore. I t took almost 1/2 hour to thaw out afterwards.
