I only dont run my rc's if its below 20F, or if its raining. The snow definately won't stop me (actually makes me want to drive more).
Yesterday I was using a snow bank from where my dad plows as a jump. It was warm the other day and the snow was hard and crunchy. What a blast :D

I swear the weather guy here in Los Angeles doesn't have a clue about the forecast. First he said rain lastweek tuesday all the way till sunday, which didn't happen. Then the news said rain yesterday until Saturday of this week which looks as if he's smoking crack because the skies are clear and it's sunny and dry. I dunno about the news anymore, they spend all this money on the tec-na-logical weather measurement tools..... lol and still can't get it right..... :confused:

Oh man i drove my B3 last year in a foot of snow. I dont know what took longer, jumping into the powder or having to dig for the car.
my car sits when it rains cause that'd be like drifting :D
my TNX since it's electronics are selaed can run in the rain, mud anything wet, so rain doesnt really ruin my day, actually makes it more fun, only cleaning off all the mud is a pain.

Weather - it just depends on how I feel. I've run the MGT in everything from 10F to 100F dry as can be, to snow on the ground, and everything in between. But if I don't feel like being too cold, or too hot, or cleaning the truck off when I get done, I don't run it.

yeah dude, living on the coast of anywhere kinda sucks cause rain is kidna random and the humidity keeps everyting real wet, so you get burned out quick on mud, and cleaning your car

I live in buffalo and the weather is ridiculus. It is snowing one day and then 50 degrees the next day. lucky for me i got a indoor track i made for xray m18. Its sweet. And i made a huge wood jump indoors too to jump my buggy. i really dont got to drive my maxx in the snow cause that is what my snowmobile is for

i'm in norcal too. generally i wont run in the rain, but every once in a while i will go run while it is raining. it helps to have a waterproof esc. i just dont like the amount of post run maintenance that is required after you run a r/c in the wet. so i only do it once in a while. lots of fun when i do though. touring cars are a blast, but watch out for puddles. trucks are the most fun, just go out and throw some wicked roosts.

I just got back from tucson about 30 mins ago. I WENT TO COMPETITION HOBBIES!!!!! I bought a new spur and watched a dirt oval race and 2 off road races. I saw a novice stock 1 with a Losi RTR XXXt and a few Associated T4s and B4s. Then i saw a mod 2wd buggy race!! It was awsome!!!!
