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
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.
