HAha great pics, I miss doing this with my XXX-T. This is why I am reviving my interest in the hobby and fixing it up. Do you cover your electronics at all?

I used to use a balloon and some masking tape, I have also used ziplock bags and tape.

It is always fun to race with and I see you have done this before, you HAVE to keep the body off or you'll have a bricks worth of snow inside the truck!! I'll post some pics once I get mine running again!

The body is on, its kinda like a cover that looks like a buggy that goes on top and protects everything. for snow season I put my mtroniks waterproof esc, I bag the receiver in a baloon and ziptie de end. And I put some grease around the openings on the servo. And woila !

Its really fun, much more so than in my xxxt, the rs4 being 4wd is a blast to drift in snow at high speed !

Thx

Hehe, I dont think about it right now... got it last week and I'M leaning it out... I'll be racing it against the 4wd buggies at my track and hope to spank them. I'll loose ground in some areas but will gain in others. They are bad on the big jumps at my track, so I hope to make ground there with a nice 10t to 13t motor. Will have to check or maybe a brushless... Not for now anyways. That thing just cost me 270 bucks and both batteries are bad...

Anyways, will let you know how track race goes...
