    It's 85 out today and does not feel like the holiday season what so ever; I can't wait to get out of here! 6 weeks and counting. I need an advent calendar to count down the days to Loveland.

    Try Slee Offroad just outside of golden. A friend of mine works there and a fellow South African (Christo Slee) owns it. They would be happy to help.

    I'm assuming the electronics on that thing are fairly water resistant to drive through the snow like that?

    I once drove an RC car into a pool when I was a kid. Parents never bought me any more after that. Can't say I blame them though...

    ESC is waterproof. Brushless motors seem to be water friendly as long as you dry them afterwards. The steering servo has been through more water than I can remember and has survived so far. The rest is just plain luck it still functions.

    Was quite possibly the worst driving I have ever done too. But I posted it because everybody likes a good crash.

    That's not a good crash, but you did remind me of this video. Me about 6 years ago. Wait until the end for the good crashes:

    Not a clue. It was a long ways from stock. 8300KV motor with a 12.6 volt battery theoretically equals over 100,000 RPM. Guessing it was in the 60-70 range, but it was also only 1/16th scale.
