I had tried it on snow since where I live in Connecticut no close beach either and it worked well, I wasn't running a nitro vehicle however, I had a T4 monstered out with Imex J-Dawg tires. When I flipped them around the vehicle did ride on the snow. When I ran them the right way, I did sink.

I don't run offroad any more , had a chance to get a HB RTR 1/8 scale buggy for 200 but I know if I got that, I would be sleeping outside.
