    Which tires for the snow?

    Ok first off I live in Germany so we get at least a couple feet of snow on the ground at a time!

    If you really wanna go strong in the snow then pick up a set of paddle tires.

    Just through the stock chevrons on backwards and they work extremely well. I used to have those on the front with paddles on the back for driving in the snow and in the sand. Works well!

    Stick with the (top) stock chevron's, the larger tires in the bottom pic will take a lot more power & torque to turn, especially in the snow.
    Look out for the tree/crunch!

    LiPo? Naw NITRO!!

    If you do use the Jumbo Kongs you will need to gear it down (an E-Maxx spur with a smaller clutch bell)

    Just did that to my summit yesterday and she absolutely destroyed in the sand haha. The reversed chevrons work very well in snow, except for the vent holes. Something must be done about the or your truck will be 10 lbs heavier and unbalanced enough to rattle other trucks screws out. Look into blocking these holes for winter use. Good luck and happy trails in Germany my friend!
