Was messing around and decided to get a pic of my HL King Tiger in the snow..... tank was thoroughly cleaned and dried after 

Nice! but just a suggestion, I see a lot of snow packed in around the idler and wheels. Take your tank outside for 1/2 an hour before you want to play and let it adjust to the temp. outside. The snow won't stick so much. I have seen idlers and tracks get broken not doing this...

100% what Dean said. It is a lot of fun to take tanks and tracked vehicles out in the snow. I have taken my Panther out and the snow separated the road wheels. A real problem with interlevered German tanks during WWII. 
Acclimating the temps makes a big difference. I actually made that mistake just a couple days ago with my Kyosho Blizzard. It only made it about 20 feet before the tracks were balled up and I stripped a gear. Doah.
Cheers!

Thanks for the awesome advice! I didn't even think about that!

Many of us eventually learn... German R/c tanks are awful in the snow.


..Russian R/c tanks are surprisingly good.

Go figure
