Winter Set up?

[monel_funkawitz]

It gets old, because for all the screwing around, a 10lb car does not go for crap in a foot of wet snow. Go a few feet, get stuck, spin. Give it a little foot nudge... go a few feet, get stuck, spin.

Light powder snow is a little better, but I'd rather take my trucks down to where I work or at the local school and run them in the gym in the winter.

Yea... I wasn't planning on trying to run when its too deep out there. That doesn't sound all that fun.

Arh well.. It's just a matter of shifting hobbies.

[aqwut]

Have any of you guys tried those skiis for the RC?.... I was thinking of gettin' a pair, but haven't heard anything about them.... I've seen them along time ago....

[Serum]

Yeah, i thought about the same.. Thos ski's and for the rear flapping tires.. Or an air-driven snow mobile.. Those outrunners and airplane controllers are fair cheap..

[squeeforever]

Yea, those snowmobiles are awesome...I think Thunder Tiger makes em, right?

[Serum]

Yeah?

I thought it would be a nice project to make one from shred. (with a big ass propellor) i think 60mph is very easy to achieve with such a wingless airplane.

Don't know what to do yet, a propellor or a ducted fan.

Do you convert your truck into a boat or sub for the hurricane months? I love the snow in California. It's only a 2 hour drive to get to it or away from it. The land where you can snow and water ski on the same day.:004:

[nieles]

for the winter i would like to make kind of spike tires with steel pins for my buggy and then go drive on ice

[Serum]

Sounds lik a plan to me Niels.

Perhaps a few rimms can be retrofitted... i don't think you really need the rubber. (perhaps for flexibility)

[nieles]

yes take the rubber of the rim en and melt a piece of pvc pipe around the rim and then bore a lot of little holes in the pvc. then from the inside put the steel nails in it

[Serum]

I think we have got a few worn out tires for this project.

[nieles]

yes especially the front right one.... :005:
