Rear spool

[Marc101885]

So with winter time coming along and snow and ice has anyone thought about running a spool style diff in the rear for a little extra traction. I've yet to have this truck in more than 3 inches or really wet sticky snow, but im thinking about traction issues. Anybody who has run these things in some real snow let me know how it ran, i don't want to be pulling the truck out of the snow every five minute. While im on the traction thought i saw a thread on another sight, don't remember which one where they put studs in the baja 5b tires and ran it on ice, i might have to get another set of tires to do that and run it on the lakes when they freeze up. By the way, i backyard bash not racing or anything and this is the mt.

I won't be able to advise you on that, I moved to Texas over 10 years ago to get away from sow and Ice, you all have fun though freezing your nads off to run your truck. LOL

I would like to run more diff tension but not for snow, I will see if some wavy thrust washers could help.

What did you do to waterproof your electronics?

For the radio/battery box i mounted the battery outside with velcro and straps and then used rtv to seal the box and around the wires. But servo wise i havent done anything to them yet, i have the stock steering servo and a skyion throttle servo. It doesn't seem to throw to much up near the servos with the body on.
