For hobbyists that live in areas that can get a lot of snow, winter time is often a time to put the rc vehicles on the shelf and hope for an early Spring.  Most rc cars and trucks were just not designed to handle winter driving conditions.  Water and slush can cause trouble with radio electronics, and traction can also be a problem with slick winter conditions.  Not so with a radio control snowmobile.  It was made to thrive in the snow!  

There are a few different electric rc snowmobiles available.  Some of these sleds are Polaris and Ski-Doo scale models like the Fusion 900 shown above.  Some of these electric models have good detail and are realistic looking.  They might come with a 7.2V or 9.6V battery pack.  Performance will be relatively mild with many of these electric versions and they are appropriate for younger modelers.  For those wanting more speed and excitement, there are also gas (nitro) powered versions.   

Above is a picture of the Nitro Elements ArtAttack nitro rc snowmobiles with translucent red hood. These rc snowmobiles were offered in both electric and nitro powered versions.  These machines were higher performance and better matched for more mature modelers who were capable of handling the extra power and speed.  In addition, these came in kit form and required assembly.  Designed for a standard .21 big block nitro engine, these sleds could also accept some of the "bored out" .25, .26, and bigger oversized nitro big block engines.  This would make for a very powerful and fast machine.  The noise and smoke of a nitro engine also help give it a more realistic feel like the full size 2 stroke sleds.  The ArtAttack is a 1/4 scale model which is approximately 2 feet long and 1 foot wide.   Below are some pictures showing the layout of this fun nitro remote control snowmobile.

So, winter doesn't have to mean that you have to put all your models on the shelf.  If you have one of these rc snowmobiles, then you are ready to go when the flurries fly.  Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
