No snow here in MA yet, but roostin' through all the leaves is cool.

This has been a very funny thread, especially with Popper's pimp blanket and coon-skin cap, but the original question was how to winterize your vehicle before storing it.

If I'm not mistaken, which I probably am as I've only been driving for a week and a half and reading for about a month, you should run/drain ALL fuel from tank/lines/carb and put some after-run type oil in the carb and the top of the cylinder, giving it a few nice gentle pulls and work the throttle on the transmitter to work the carb. I would also recommend putting it up on a 4X4 block so the shocks (springs) can hang extended (like when you see people park their R/Vs for an extended period), or even remove your springs. I put mine on a 4X4 whenever I'm done for the day anyway.

I personally don't want to risk getting any of my electrics wet, so I probably won't run too much in the snow, but the cold won't stop me! I know there are ways to waterproof your receiver and servos (thanks for the great tip with the plasti-dip Kemo), but moisture can usually find it's way anywhere you don't want it. LoL Who am I fooling?! Of course I'll do it a few times, but I will take out my new Futaba receiver/servos and put in the stock equipment fot the winter. Good idea, eh?
