Winter Race
wondering...seeing as how we're Canadians and all...the cold just doesn't phase us the way it may other places in the world!!!.
Anyone ever think about an outdoor winter monster truck race? You could like do it anywhere...just bring a shovel and set it up. I can picture myself standing in a snowmobile suite.....with two eyeholes...and a shaved down index finger on the old mitt just enough to get it into the throttle of the radio!!.. hmm.... Winterfest!...lol. start the r/c in the car and put it on the track!!!! I recall many a day in winters past of my garage door being half open....the propane heaters kicking full blast...bashing out running into snowbanks...down the street....snow up to our knees...and fp mech slappin on a pair of paddle tires.....and kicking up a cat tail so high...and the best part is...20 min in the garage and those packed rims, and axles..just melt away and your ready to go again!!. But then again...I'm sick (fever) and am likely halucinating about how nice it was....which reminds me...paddle tires...someone had them for sale...must go now...and track that post down... |

i remember my first winter rc experience. I had a Grasshopper. The thing wouldnt go anywhere on the ice and snow.... so i grabbed those thumbtacks with the big flat button heads and poked them through the tread of the worn out tires from the inside and reassembeled them onto the rims. Had some insta-traction then! Pushed a little in the front, though.

I have always wanted something like this, theres nothing like driving on ice
I would be into helping build a winter track, if only someone could get a hold of one of those "fake" snow machines like they use at ski hills
