Just follow some simple waterproofing techniques and your Savage should be fine. Lipos don't mind the cold the correct way to store them is in a fridge. While running they do appreciate being warm though. So if starting from room temp and through discharge they should be able to keep themselves warm enough to melt any snow that manages to get inside the battery trays.

Some good things come from running in snow, no heat problems, in fact I usually gear up during the winter because the temps allow it. Snow for the most part is fairly clean so clean up is a breeze. As long as you spray a little wd40 on some spots after running nothing should go bad.

As for the plastics getting weaker, think about the material in which you will are bashing in. Snow is a little more forgiving than concrete or hard pack.

I just simply don't wanna take the risk with the Flux. I"ll get a Slash 4x4 if I really wanna go bashing in the snow.
