yep, turn the ride height up for snow bashing. Also i did a test with the stock maxx tires as far as running them forward or backwards.
This is running on a dirt surface. (Like woodridge jumps/devry jumps/etc...)
First I ran the tires backwards (thinking it would act like paddles and grip better). I grab the back bumber with the truck running, stabbed the throttle, and the tires cleared away all the dirt from the top of the running surface.
Then I ran the tires the normal way. Grabbed the bumper, stabbed the throttle, and the tires dug four holes into the ground instead of simply clearing all the dirt off the surface.
Sooo...running the tires backwards yielded less traction. It causes the tires to "float" on top of the surface.
Running correct caused them to "dig"
