We got our first real snow here in Ohio today and I am happy as hell to see it, but one problem kept the tanks from running more than 10 feet..

My Panthers..ran 10 feet and halted..
My Tiger I ran 5 feet before the tracks were incased in snow and locked up..
My Wally Word tank made 10 feet before being over come with snow..
The T34 started this clucking noise before stopping dead in it's tracks.. and the gear on the driver side was free turning on the shaft.. not any more!

I set both Tiger and T34 in the garage to soak up the cold and then give it a run.. both chocked after 10 feet in 4 inches of snow..


What am I doing wrong?
