Default went out in the snow

Fj and rubi out in the snow. Fj is a tlt based rig and the rubi has all the stock wheely king gear, with a custom chassis. We had a blast.

How do they run in the snow? Do they seem to get stuck often? I'm tempted to run one in the snow, but don't feel like trying it out just to have rusty bearings after one run of no fun? My old T-maxx was pretty fun, but it had alot of wheel speed and just speed in general.

Usually once a year we may get some snow here in Eugene, OR. but this was up in the cascade mountains about 4000 ft elev. My fj did real good in some powder snow that wasnt to deep. If the snow was to deep and not very solid it wasnt much fun. The masher 2k did preety good but the only other tire to compare to was stock wheely king tires. Also my truck is very heavy which helped in some situations and also hampered it also. I dont have bearings so I wasnt worried about the rust.

Here's a little video of Green Bean in the snow. It did really well.
