its cool that you ran in the snow and all but (and I realize that your TXT cant handle like a 1/10 scale truck) but atleast you could have founs a patch of ice or something and made it look like you were drifting. and once on the ice spread som powder on it so that you threw up snow. and the last then...if its fun in the snow then make the darn ramp out of snow! (to harden: spray with water from a squirt /mister bottle and let freeze)

but other than that nice video!

wrap your elecs. in baloons. ZIP TIE THEM SHUT then put some silicone grease around the ends of the baloons to seal them off. Then wrap the servos in electric tape and then put a small layer of grease all over that.

that should cover almost all of your electronics.

cool, thanks for the comments
my servo and the reciever is water proof.
I used saran wrap to cover the esc, but when the truck tumbled down a hill yesterday, the saran got ripped off, i didn't know and kept running... Ended up frying my freind's ipc sport...

NOw, i am running msc and a different receiver (XXL from HRS). I went up to fry out my xxl...
