Video I did here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFSCOUVSSXU

Perfect conditions for rally RC's ice covered in icy hard packed snow. Car is actually a Tamiya TB-01 Evo 6 I use as a shelf queen, but I put the bought the Evo 7 wheels and bodyshell for light running. Temperature about minus 3 degrees C. Made as an homage to my favourite rally driver, Tommi Makinen. I had the pleasure of watching his spectacular style in an Evo 6 when I chased the Rally GB in 2000, which Richard Burns went on to win

Great chassis and body choice. One of my favs too. I just sold my new DF-03ra and kept my 3 TB-01s as they are so much better for this sort of driving

Thanks - that's good to know Wyoming - I was intending to buy either the Celica or new Datsun 240 in the DF03-RA. Perhaps I'll hold off. I love the quiet drive train on the TB01 too. They are heavy, but handle really smoothly as a result.

I'm jealous, as I don't live in an area where we get snow. (California)... All these pix of cars in the snow looks so fun! I have 4 TB01 kits and I just don't have as much reason to build/drive them as life is better for on-road here. Would love to do the snow driving though! Looks great!

Hey Skottoman - I'll swap your gun laws with ours and your Californian ribbons of tarmac in the mountains that I can ride my motorbikes on for some of our snow anytime!
