Well guys, I finally have my E-Revo set up for winter, Figured that since I'm running a Desert Rat body, calling it the Blizzard Rat seem appropriate

The Pro-Line Desert Rat body is painted in Pactra Candy Blue backed by the same Pactra Pearl White backed by Sprint White that covers the rest of the body. The stripes are arranged in the so that they look like a two tone paint from the side, yet like wide, body line following skunk stripes from the top.
The Wheels are Platinum Edition Dishes and PE/new 3.3 Revo splined hexes with the T-Maxx Classic/16.8v E-Maxx Chevrons.
The electronics are factory stock, but it's currently geared 16/68 with 120k Ofna diff oil up front and 50k Traxxas diff oil out back.
The suspension has the spring tensioners set at the same position as the PE Revo, while using the long travel rockers and springs with the pushrods set as far inboard as possible.

You need some paddle tires man. Those are a freaking blast in the snow. They can really throw some huge tails behind them

My sister hand painted that several years ago before she moved out of the house, it's all scenes from various Disney Movies. The only pics I have are on the computer she has at the apartment she shares with her boyfriend. I'll try to get some pics tomorrow and post them in the MultiMedia Forum.

Looks like he's got some knd of spiked tire on the front Mike, and yea, it seemed to work better w/out the ski's in the video. Did you pull the front drive shafts for the first part of the video too, or just for the ski'd portion?

no doubt its better in 4wd, but the skies look so cool. the front tires are traxxas sport traxx. i was going to put stock t-maxx tires on the front, but never got around to it. and i only took the dog bones out for the skies.
