RE: Nitros in winter?
I run my nitros all year round in Indiana, cold winters aren't a problem, just have to richen them up a bit.When the temperatures go below 20°F,I find it helpful towrap the cooling head in aluminum foil, it helps the engine maintain proper operating temperature. When it gets below zero, my damn fingers freeze off so I don't run them.

Glow motors run fine in below zero temperatures. I actually can stand inside my house near a window, and drive my car around the driveway/lawn/street....and only step out to refuel.
I worry more about the plastics becoming brittle than I do the motor
