I live in New England, of course I have! A Main has the whole range of oils if you want to try a few.

There is a fine line where you get traction between one wheel spinning, and both wheels spinning. The former is due to diff fluid being too light, and the latter is caused by a heavy throttle finger. Heavier fluid gives better traction on slippery surfaces. The rest is throttle control.
