So, with practically every one I know out snow wheeling I was feeling a little left out, so I did improvised! :eheh:

Grabbed some lightweight chain, a pair of needle nose pliers, and wha la! Tire chains! Work great too!

They dig a little too much at times, but they help more than the hinder! :crying:

The battle grounds. There is much more, just didn't get any good pics! Some good hill climbs in the front yard! :lol:

Drying out while we're getting ready to eat! Gotta love forced air heaters! Don't worry, its electric. Only puts out about 90 degrees so no melting spendy stuff!

I also took my brushless out w/ the paddles on. Man that thing would throw roost 20 feet EASY! No pics though, I can't control it and take pics. Too dang fast!

It kept bugging me that I couldn't chain up the front,(due to tire / steering arm clearance) so I tried some paddles instead.... :lol:

Worked awesome. Just waiting for the battery to charge now.....

I'll snag some as soon as I can get to the snow....

I've been snow wheelin too with my wheelyking, it was set up for crawling, I've geared it up, lightened it up, cut the stock tires & it's kinda fun (sorry no pics right now). Almost stays on top of the new snow:D. Where'd you get those paddles they'd be perfect for my wk:p
