Great - but with some warnings.  First you'll need to water proof every
electrical housing and connection.  Second, don't flip it over into a
snow bank and let it stall - ice cold snow on a hot engine ain't good
(read, cracked metal).  Third, cold weather/heavy air tuning principles
apply.  Fourth and most obvious, traction is a big issue. Packed snow
versus ice versus light fluffy snow - all different, all with their own
kind of fun.

Done it though - it's a hoot.

100% pure fun. true lots of  work to get everyting waterproof.
you have no traction, and steering is done by trhottle.

i live on the coast of ms and we never get snow down here.... however, i
just put street tires on my rc10gt and drive it in the grass. slips and
slides everywhere. its a blast. i have more fun sliding through the grass on
slicks than i do anywhere else.
