Lost a fair bit of top speed with the 45T but I could probably cure that with a 3s battery
The 3000kv 3660 sensored can in my Yeti is powered by 3S, so I had no lack of wheel speed.

If there were no other obstructions holding the vehicle back and it had maximum traction, itd be moving, not sitting still spinning.

Traction in, or on the snow was NOT the cause of this snapped cv, 1,000%, there wasn't any.
the tires were bearly spinning in low range and at the time it was pulling till the cv snaped

If it was like a 1-2ft base I don't believe it would be possible to snap a axle shaft or cv since you would most likely high center before you get enough traction to break anything.

Cool video to!
there was a couple of inches of snow then a layer of ice then another layer of snow so if it was digging it just dug down to ice

and that truck is somewere around 20lbs so its hard to pull up steep inclines and hard on parts after that shaft broke i upgraded to xrmod universals the axial scx10 cv shafts are butter soft

I've been very impressed with Duratrax Deep Woods tires and how they perform in the snow.

No tire is going to move his truck through that, especially a 1.9.
