Default emaxx in the snow

MA just got its first real snow so I zip tied and duck taped a plastic bag over the chassis of my emaxx (all the electronics were underneath) and went out driving. It was tons of fun except that the batteries ran out in like 5 minutes due to the added workload which the snow caused. the emaxx drifted from losing traction and then I hair dried it off. Here are some pics (if I can get them to upload)

Looks like fun. I haven't got a chance to run any 4wd vehicles in the snow yet. I am stuck w/ these 2wd trucks, which can't seem to make it far through the snow.

For anyone interested in waterproofing their own rc vehicle, check out:
