The only problem with doing that is if the props hit anything you just lost a drive. Now if the snow is at least 12" deep, that may make a difference. Since all my boats are hydros, it might be interesting to see what would happen with them. My only problem is I only have bare and wet outside[X(]

Come on now Mart - electrics in a gas thread

Impressive speed that thing hits - even up hill. Looks more fun than on water (even if it is electric).

I know a few guys near me who have done it with airboats and remember a buddy doing it with a prop rigger 5 or 6 years back. I like the idea though imagine snow conditions are pretty particular

I know what i'll be doing when my titan gets here!, the snow would probably have to be pretty loose but not too loose that the prop wouldn't catch anything, too bad there's only really wet snow where i live right no, otherwise id be out there right now trying it, i cant wait to see some more of this

I was thinking he should find a little speed bump to get some "air" but the landing might be a bit hard! [:-]

just went out and tried tis with my blast with a 15t motor and a 7 cell battery,i had to give it a show but it got going better than i thought it would, it went about 30-40ft on my best run, but that dang steerable outdrive made it so i couldn't turn I cant wait until i get the traxxas titan or the miss geico for christmas so i can test those out
