Default Nitros in cold temps???

I am wondering if STORING nitro rc`s in cold weather is a bad idea or is hard on it in any way. I have a shed which i keep my wheeler and dirt bike in and i have a workbech which is where i work on my 1/8 monsters. It would be much easyer to keep them out there, but i have conserns.

Thanks

Should be fine. Just heat up the motor a tiny bit before starting them you also need to tune the motor more rich when its colder. With my Vehicles. (MGT and ST-1) I leave them in the garage and just start them without preheating, but preheating is alot safer and it takes forever to warm up the motor in -20C from my experience Also you will find the vehicle won't be as durable since plastics are more brittle in the cold.

Be sure to use ARO when they sit for a while. Especially in unconditioned air like a shed.
