You may want to consider duals on the rear, or 14mm adapters and maxx size paddles. I've run those same paddles on a rustler in the snow, and it didn't go very far.

Either of those suggestions requires a very stout drivetrain, but I believe to be an effective snow machine you will need more traction.
ok so it is over kill. thank you. i kind of figured that but i had seen a car someone made into a snow vehicle with a 4 link system and solid/locked rear.
i wish i knew where that pic is it was out of some old RC magazine. it was really long. so i thought i could use the way an arm is connected and not have the side to side say a crawler has. my thinking is the was snow is all aver the place an not just smooth so i wanted the rear to be able to soak up bumps but then have each arm be able to move on their own to make contact with any random hole
