That looks fun.
No snow here.
Are your tyres really really soft?
The picture "radio006.jpg" has the front right wheel almost flat vertically.

I thought that water would damage your electronics or motor.

That's cool! You need to try a set of paddles. Heck, go all four paddles and hit the Nitro! [:@]

yo man the "powder" isnt really good for an rc car! you might want to wait for the snow to harden so you dont screw up your motor and ele.

I have the electronics taken care of. I sealed everything and siliconed my servos. I also made a vid but I couldn't get it to upload. That really pisses me off because I purchased a new camcorder just so I could upload vids and now I can't find the web hosting reqiured. After I tried to download some free hosting sites my computer started running slow as hell and doing weird things. I think I'm going to have take it in to the shop.

Ya, but the stock ones are long gone. The wheels and tires were ruined and I tossed them awhile back. I built a homemade center skidplate out of aluminum.

NEw your ISP should provide you with enough free space to host a video. Really all you need to do is set it all up. MOst ISp's will give you 10 MB for free to host web pages and you can just upload it there.

Believe me, I'm trying very hard to get this vid uploaded and I have lots more once I figure it out. It'll happen sooner or later as long as my P.O.S. computer quits fu*king up.

the temp fluxes arent good for the motor. ie when the powder hits the motor!

just make sure it stays close to op. temp!
