that looks awesome..
In the past ive gotten some old touring car tires from my TT01, unglued them, pushed some drawing pins through them, rubber sealed inside so the pis stay there, put hard foams in and glued them back again..

I was shocked, it worked amazingly

Last year im sure I seen someone use rivets.
Rivet the tires but don't snap the rod/ pin off. Once it's gripped dremmel the pin to req length

It looked the dogs danglies

i got some hanging basket chain from a local shop, its adjustable and has a 30 kg breaking strength so they wont come off!
£ 1.49 a packet but you need 3 packets to do all the wheels 5 times. Bit of a pain to put on but will hopefully work well

With all the snow about, think this needs going to the top!

Tip: receiver in a balloon, stops water getting in, also I heard about putting Vaseline on servos to stop water getting in :)

I used sink plug chain worked ok. Snow socks for the car is good just cut them smaller and get the wife to stitch elastic on. Also you can get spray from halfords for that puts grip on rubber

i didn't do anything to my savage to waterproof it. At the very end of the second tank the throttle servo stopped working. hopfully a night on the radiator will sort it out :xd:

No need to balloon or condom anything if you put the reciever in a waterproof box
And the ESC is protected :)

As for snow mods - its called your shoes - as you have to keep pushing it when its too deep :(
