Sure the chassis is a little snowy, but I have to stop way before I get to the point as shown in your picture. Have you taken any measures to prevent this or is it just me?

Also I can't seem to get the snow out of the steering easily without taking the car inside and wait for it to melt while scraping with a tiny screwdriver. This really sucks because I bought it in November and haven't yet get to drive it more than a couple of minutes because of the snow!
Hehe I don't know. I also have some problem with snow in the steering but that's after may be 10 min, and when it happens I also have to wait for it to melt. I notice that the weather have to be cold, below 0°C otherwise snow build up in the chassis very quickly and the car gets to heavy.

That looks like a nice shorty, but I ordered two Turnigy Nano-Tech 4200mah 65C Shorty for 34$ each
