I'll take cream cheese on my beagle lol.

Good point about the plastic parts also, they do tend to get brittle, I really only have A-arms to be concerned with tho.

And go easy on the Californians, you can't be truly hardened (by which I mean frozen stiff) until you've dealt with negative 40 a few days in a row, which is usually the high temp here in February ;)

I saw a few years ago a 'TransMitt' for use with a stick TX, think they advertised it on RCGroups. I may make something like that. As I said, the real problem with gloves for me is the throttle/brake feel. Steering is no problem but I have large hands and my digits don't fit well with gloves in the trigger notch.

This thread was about batteries tho wasn't it lol. I don't care if the batts don't have maximum punch, just wondered if it's possible to do damage in extreme cold, I guess if it's too cold for the hands it's probably borderline too cold for the lipos, maybe I'll just use that as the determining factor.

But I did build my Mute to be fairly weather resistant with no additional protection needed, and while it's of course not waterproof, it does work fabulously well. And BrianG, I have removed my fans for the season. Time to get it sloppy!
