|  SNOW CRAWLING from North Wales
Well its been snowing here where I live since before Christmas so since getting my MRC I havnt been able to run it on anything other than cardboard boxes and the sofa, which usually has one or both of the cats on it and they dont like being crawled on  So decided to make a short course out of snow and some bits in the garden, seemed like a good idea at the time. Here are the pics and video will be up later.   Amazing how well the stock tires with no foams worked.  Wheel get there in the end, if only my 1:1 car could get through snow this well, but then I'd be in work instead of doing this  "Climb every mountain". Well, birdbath at least. |

Cool pics! Do you have wheel spacers on it. It snows in Wales? I was in Buckley and Chester in September and it was nice. Never would have though it snowed there. |

Thanks  Yeah it snows here, I live in the hills further over, towards Wrexham and we get snow every winter, not usually as bad as this. I'm over 700 feet up here so when it rains in Chester it snows at my house.No i havnt put any wideners on it but I have put a new steering link in and running a slight amount of toe out to try and compensate for the ackerman off the stock nuckles. I have a 200 oz/" servo ill be adding when the stock one dies and ill probably go BTA at that point as have seen people saying this corrects the problem. |

No chassis upgrades yet, its actually all stock parts apart from wheel weights from a local tire place, some 3mm threaded rod and a short peice of alu tubing (both from an old home made tie bar for a t-maxx) for the new steering link and the plastic tubing used to do the beadlock mod to the wheels.
