Crashing due to snow, on a fun course meant for play, over the logs we go, splashing in dismay. Whatever. This Corvair/Gen8 combo is my new wintertime chariot, and we finally got our first snow of the season. Not a lot, and it didn't last, but it managed to inflict traction-related mayhem. I KNEW we could make it up that ramp if we just kept trying. See if you can spot when the Corvair's lightbar goes missing. And if the Corvair seems fast at the beginning, that's the new 8-turn motor. What a huge difference from the old 15T which was painfully slow. You should have seen this truck fly with the new motor before I changed the pinion gear from a 17-tooth to a 14. You need wheelspeed in winter, but it was ridiculous; real tough to control. Now it's just right.
Cheers and thanks.

That just made my night!
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment -- made my DAY! Cheers.
That crash montage at the start of the video is probably not too dissimilar to Toronto traffic after the first snowfall of the year. 😜
FACT...lol
Loved the intro! HA!
Glad you liked it, Matt. Hope to run into you again soon. Maybe at the GTARC Crawlers Christmas event.
Great video. Snow makes driving magical. Unfortunately I’ve been shovelling sidewalks all day! Thanks for using some my favourite UA-cam music.
Glad you enjoyed it -- visuals AND music. Snow is a blessing and a curse eh. We get so much here that I bought a massive snow blower ages ago, and it's a legit life saver. I save my shovelling for the trails! Thanks for the support.
Great little trail run
Thanks, Jonny J. Much appreciated.
I really like the Corvair shell that's prestige
@@JonnyJetson754 Thanks! Real happy with the way it turned out. Different, weird but not to weird imo. Cheers.
Still waiting on snow around here. Looking forward to some snow crawling. Got my plow attachment ready to go.
We've got a little right now, and it's cold out, so the woods are pretty nice. Hope you get enough snow to do some plowing -- but not so much that you have to dig yourself out! Cheers and thanks.
Right on, you got some snow! Corvair trails great, I like how it never gave up and eventually made it up the ramp all at the cost of the light bar! The speed looks just right to me!
Thanks 👍 Only took me two dozen crashes to figure out I could slow crawl up the ramp if I kept to the VERY left side. I plan to keep that a secret and not tell my friends. LOL. Yeah, the speed is right now. Absolutely amazing how going from 17 teeth to 14 can make such a huge difference. Cheers!
Great run brother. Awesome trailing. The snow totally changes the dynamic THAT is for sure. lol
Thanks 👍 Too bad the snow was gone by dinner time. That said, I'll be cursing it in Feb when we have two feet of it to shovel. LOL.
I hear ya Loud And Clear. lmao@@NaturallyRC
Some tough hits! Just keeps on trucking :)
You got that right! Tough hits, but we weren't gonna give up. Thanks for the comment and support Petro.
Lucky duck. No snow down the road from you.
No snow either here anymore. Glad I rushed out the door when I saw it.
7:00 in is perfect! I was hoping for the same at 10:10 - and it happened!
LOL. The reverse clip idea just suddenly came to me in post. I still laugh when I see it. Too bad we can't do that in real life. Ha. Thanks for the great comment.
That was a sick endo! 😂👌👍
Thanks. The trick is to not panic, which comes with practice after endo-ing fifty times. Cheers!
Great video!
Thanks, YYZ. Glad you enjoyed it
Tiny truck strong 💪
Yup. Apart from busting off my lightbar -- which was only Shoe Goo'd on, the soccer mom wagon held up just fine. Thanks so much. See you soon.
@@NaturallyRC awesome go soccer mom wagon!!! lol yes hope to see you this weekend coming ✌🏼
