Here's my winter snow truck for this year adapting bits from last years "Snowbird RC10T3" and applying them to this one. if you're wondering (or don't recall) about the name, it's a spin-off from the product name of the Dubro landing gear skis for airplanes that I'm using on this It needs just a little more work on the ski mounts, but I should have that sorted this week. Besides the platform change, I utilized my custom undertrays in an under and over set-up to keep the snow out. This should be fun to mess around with over the winter months

The under tray setup looks good. Any waterproofing on the electronics?

I had a pair of skis cut from some thick stock delrin, way to heavy. What are those made of?

Looks like it will be a blast! Possible video of it running?

The skis are ABS Dave, you can get them or order them anywhere I haven't run this version truck yet it's recently built, maybe Sunday or Monday? Here's last years build on the T3 platform ...

AWESOME!!!! perfect for our Colorado winters!

You need crusty snow or it won't work This won't work in powder or wet snow

The SC-700 is waterproof, if the receiver dies no biggie. The Motor should be OK, need to heatshrink the leads and area

I have seen that video somewhere... ABS makes much more sense. The skis I had were so thick and blocky, no performance at all. (Blocky is a word right? hehe)

I might have to grab a set of those. The drive system seems to hook up right away.

Tires are Proline Dirt Paws...

Sorry, I looked at my old post and it's technically Polyethylene

"I've seen better days"... waiting too long to run this and well, I thought you guys might want some entertainment at my expense
