Just make your truck, electronic wise, the same as you would run in a rain storm. Waterproof the receiver and ESC (I use baggies with rubber bands). Lipos will not work as well in the cold, so I would go with NIMH or Nicad. Run lighter shock oil (I use 10w) Run spiked tires if possible, and weigh the ass end of your truck down with lead wheel weights or whatever. Cleanup sucks.

Once you run a few times like this, it gets old. Run your trucks in the summer, work on 'em in the winter.

Why does it ''get old''??? To me what gets old is staring at my trucks all winter hoping for a break in the weather and a chance to get out and run a few packs. Most of the time I am stuck in parking lots only cuz I don't want to get into the snow for fear of frying something. Anything I can do to get more run time in the winter months will be welcome to me.
