    all i can say is with all the comments on " i'm gona try i t" where are the rest of the video's. i want to see some of the burnt up esc's too. everyone said that the amp draw should be lower but my first thinking was that it would be harder to move snow than water (trust me, i know absolutly nothing about snow other than i am glad i dont have to deal with it).
    i say this on IW and was amazed....

        I think she is running a little wet...
        Maybe a little forward COG will help...

            I can imagine all the prop damage now! Little stocks, rocks, etc. just below the surface of the snow.

            Sure glad we don't have the conditions necessary to try it down here in Florida! Haha. It is pretty amazing though!

              Compared to water, "powder-snow" is less solid.
              Contains much more air.

                  That is awesome! Too bad there is rarely enough snow here to actually stick to even attempt this...but I do always have open water available....

                    I welded up a rudder to use in the snow but we dont have much here now. I am by no means wishing for snow (summer cant come back soon enough) but when it comes I will be ready for it.

                      most guys on here seem to think Powder is the best type of snow to try this in.... but whats there for the prop to grab onto? the snow must have some weight....

                          This is exactly why ducks fly south in the winter!

                                I wonder how the esc likes this.....

                                Must be way more strain on the esc going in and out of a turn... and when it doesn't grip the snow.


                                But looks like fun! I don't have the guts to try it though
