Cold weather test on MMM and Turnigy Lipos

[PBO]

I can't even imagine what -30 is like, let alone driving a RC outdoors in it

It was 103 at my house yesterday

It took about 2 minutes for the screen on my camera to start ghosting really badly, if you spray water on any surface at that temperature it will either freeze before it makes contact or freeze on contact, the oil in your car is so cold the starter motor has a hard time turning it over, the oil in your transmission is so cold it feels like the shifter is set in stone, and your clutch fluid is so cold that it doesn't release until ~2 seconds after you take your foot off it. Freakin' sucks here, we need to stop getting our weather from Canada and start getting Aussie weather.

it's f-ing HUGE!!!
nice rig and a good test

Yep LST XXL wheels/tires make a huge difference. I love this thing, all the advantages of a Monster Truck and a Truggy all in one great package. Too bad they discontinued it, I don't know what I'll do when parts get hard to find

i'll trade ya! our winter for yours. i LOVE the cold
but our winters are mostly just 15*c average with sunny days and the odd bit of rain (makes good mudding/4wding season). last winter we had 2 weeks of non-stop rain but that was it, the rest of the time was dry
hmm....well i guess if you live at your place at the momentm the Nulon 40-70 engine oil is probably walk-able (it's only recommended for hot weather in 400,000km V8's as it is!)

the muggy was discontinued!!?? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
i was looking forward to getting one. wonder how many parts they share with the LST (besides the obvious like diffs, and RPM has the arms covered)
