RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi just to let you guys now we are cut off here as the a6 is closed in both directions by snow. Must try the Tiger in the snow tomorrow -maybe I can do a quick winter snow camo job on it!
Happy festive season Alwyn

Hi Here is a tip leave your Tank in the snow for about 15-20 mins before you try and run . if you do this you wont get ice build up between the wheels .If you run a Tank that has just come from a warm place the wheels will ice up and lock up could blow the board.

Your lucky, all we have down here in Brightlingsea is wind and rain, I would of loved to have seen some snow.....

Jake Hi, I understand from the forecast you should be getting snow sometime after midnight. shaun

Cheers Shaun, I'll stay up and have a look, we didn't get any last year not even a flake...Doesn't feel like winter if I don't see a bit of the white stuff...

Just got back from the beach here in Bristol, almost missed the BBQ. Best thing about our weather is that suntan lotion is always half price at this time of year.

Hi Quick piccy, it doesn't look like much in our garden but there are 3 foot drifts across the a6 in both directions.

Brrr..........!

Oh this is a great tip! If we get any snow here I'll do this.

Know what its like Alwyn used to live in Edale great when you are a kid but no good if you have to get to work

Jake, right now it is snowing heavily in Chelmsford, but the latest forecast says it will run north of Colchester, so yet again you will get nothing except an early nights sleep. shaun
