snow driving...RC10T

[LRL17Bob]

what do I need to do to set up my RC10T for driving in the snow?
New tires? What kind?
Different motor? (hope not)(I don't even know what kind I have)
Anything else?
Also, I heard the term "ballooning" but I dont know what it means...can someone tell me?

Thanks

if u put balloons around yur servos, or esc, that will help keep water away from them. and if yur old enough, condoms work well too. (i think novak esc's prefer the non lubed non ribbed kind. lmao) theres nothing u can do about the motor. i drove my car into a ditch full of water, and after i dried every thing out, it worked fine. btu now, my receiver is messed up. and i dotn know why. but, if u put a balloon around it, it will be fine. and when u are done, make sure u wipe EVERYTHING down so there is no standing water.

pro-line sandpaw tires will work good, or something like the proline dirt hawg 2 or dirt works. also, try to get some ribbed tires for the front. the bigger the ribs, the better the steering. or, make yurself soem skids. that would be a kool idea.
