HPR cat in snow, because the pond is frozen

[tunnelvision]

Just tried my Rio EP brushless in my backyard in NJ! Go Snow!! It worked!! HAd it going in circles for a few minutes and everything was super cool. I am charging up my video camera and hopefully will be posting some video in a new thread pretty soon.

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 have been waiting for the videos also. Ever since I have seen this, we have not gotten the snow needed to run. Still not anything forcasted for at least a week, in fact it is supposed to hit 50 next week. I am still going to try this once we have some snow, I just have to!

Cool! If you can, post info on what prop you are using and is it the same or different? Can't believe it is going to be another 2 weeks before I can really look at trying this. It has been super cold here, just no snow!

I just tried a mini V, and a tornado hydro in my yard, they didn't work. I gave a little push, and they went about 8 feet and then stopped. Prop placement, and snow conditions must play a huge factor in this. Wonder what the optimal conditions would be?

Try a 40mm prop on the mini V.

I just looked at my mini V, I don't understand how the prop is attached, doesn't seem like it is screwd on (I tried) not sure how I would get a 40mm prop on it, unless I change the whole drive line.

Awesome. Something I could never try.lol

Is your mini v stock? I tried my apache (stock brushed motor) and big prop and it didn't really work. I think the two must haves are brushless power and a big prop.

how do you not burn up your esc's and motors my god that was a long run with no water cooling or even air cooling for that matter????

So if you break a speed record running in snow, does it count?

I ran my smiths cat today with twin x442's. I was surprised how fast it was! My only problem is the area I was running in was narrow with plenty of objects to hit, so turns were almost impossible. Also when the boat is travelling away from you, you cant see it at all. Just a bunch of powder mist. Im going to put x447's on it and try a larger open area. Might even get some video!

football field would be killer also great job
