The roads were snow covered, think they'd been plowed but no grit. If you ventured off the road it was 3ft deep. Spent the weekend in london, nothing at all. Back home again now and it's about -6 and still snow covered and icy. luckily theres been no fresh snow fall and the roads are clear.

I finally uploaded a vid of the ski bike mk1, here's me on it last year
I've yet to try the new one as all the snow has melted here but hopefully there will be some more snow soon.

had a little bit over here in Guernsey, hammered it down on Friday night, was so funny seeing all these people who are usually so smug about their BMW M3s getting stuck on the most pathetic slopes, and I just casually drove past in my SJ
Did you manage to test out your snow bike in the end then Scott?

I'm so going to record my route to work tomorrow!
It's up a really steep hill, very icy, and there's loads of crashed and abandoned cars up there!!!
I thought it was great

You wanna be careful taking your Losi out in the snow. I have an MLST2 that I got from them. I took it out in the snow last year and it suffered. The UJs rusted, the clutch that protects the motors from burning out gave up. Also, my battery gave up in the cold. Have you had that problem?

I've been driving my MRC in the snow and its been fine so far, no rust at all, (the dog bones and uj's seem to have a sort of chrome coating on them) I'll keep an eye them though - and I suppose it depends if your driving on gritted ice or just on clean snow

Fair point. Mine has wishbones with exposed out drive shafts from the diffs, so that may be the difference. Mine has a lot more bits to go wrong......
MRC = SJ
MLST = L**D R****R
