when you baloon the servos, put a little grease on the screws so they dont rip the baloons when you put them back in

What about when your putting the horn on? Wouldnt that rip it? I only ask because i never did it on my truck but i assumed that you would have to make a small hole for the little gear to go through before putting the servo horn on.

I wanted to know that too. It is my first winter with a nitro, so i'm a little under prepared.

They only thing I have ever done to prep for winter driving has been taking about a 12" piece of Saran Wrap and taping it to the chassis. It completely covers the chassis and works very well. Then you just put your body on and roll. They only other spot that ive covered has been the front bulkhead so that snow doesnt get to the radio box. Dont be so worried guys, I love winter driving and I go to the extremes with snow[>:] as long as you dont go WOT for a whole long time your good because your killing your tires and making the engine run a bit lean for a long period of time. Have fun guys, I cant wait till the snow gets here but thats in a month[&o] TOm.

This is my first winter with my Savage and I Plasti-Dipped the servo's. Works like a charm so far.
