She was pissed! I shot grass and dirt from one side of my driveway to the other (24ft.) Holy Hanna if it works on ice anywhere near as well as it does on grass we will be having alot of fun once we get ice.

I used a band of 1" spikes around the center of the wheels on my large-scale electric... very, very good traction. downside is they would instantly ruin asphalt by throwing chunks out of it...

If you put the screws in the MB tires, are they going to be ruined when you take them out. These tires are WAY too pricey to be experimenting with. I would like to put screws in mine for the winter months, but I don't want to have to buy new tires next spring.

depends how badly you want to run it i guess, i personally didn't spend a fortune on this car to have it just sit idle all winter.
