Which is better in snow: xv-01, or df-03?

[rally racer #75]

I am planning on buying a rally chassis, and it seems like the df03 and xv01 are the best for rallying. I know they both have some problems, for example the df03 could rub the battery line, and the xv01's mudguard really wont block all the dirt and rock. But I like them all. Then I realized that I want a rally car that can drive in the most harsh condition. So I decided that if one of them is better in snow and ice, I will buy that. Help me and thank you.

I have zero experience with the df03... But I can confirm that the xv-01 is great on snow/ice. My xv-01 won the CRC ice race last year, and I love bashing it in the snow...

I also vouch for the xv01 .........

I Love my XV-01, and i belive that it is best protected against the elements with all it covers over the ESC and rx.

I have run both. The df03 is rear weight ballast leading to a bit of understeer. Whereas the xv01's weight is front ballasts which has over steer. Both do great. The xv has more suspension stroke, but the df is a tank. I got 2 years out of my df before the bearings disintegrated. I have runs on my xv, but not as much as the df.

For running in snow, both do great. It will come down to having the diffs tight to act like lockers to get you through. I found the df to go great with the front stiff and the rear locked.

However, my sons tt02ra is locked in the rear and he loves bashing through the snow with it, and it was considerately cheaper.
