Not without somehow waterproofing the PCB and servo.

I don't think the Micro-T would get through the snow very well anyways.
Good luck.

hmm by 'Waterproofing do you mean just wrapping it up ? in something waterproof or does it need to be done properlt with like Shrinkwrap or something? :P
yeah i know but by tomorrow im hoping that it will be more icy and harder snow :D unless it snows the 8inches were predicted :/
Thanks

I wouldn't trust it in shrinkwrap.
I personally would coat the entire PCB in liquid tape.
If your running Li-Po, you might want to put the pack in a balloon or something.

With a micro-t you'll probably be spinning out alot on ice -esp b/c they're light upfront; and ya you would have to water proof it. How much snow did you get, i heard its crazy in the UK right now!

maybe try fooling around on the ice, but you'd have to go in reverse the whole time LOL

I tried driving my micro-dt in the snow/ice and it was absolutely useless. My friend had a Radline that actually faired pretty well. I think the new AWD losi might be able to do it.
