Worthy of the Trax! Posts: 29 Group: Member Member #39 Joined: January 9, 2006	Sorry, I haven't been on here the last few days. I have run it, but I still don't have video yet. It has just been too wet to take it outside. The forcast looks good for the next few days, so MAYBE Sunday I can get my wife to shoot a little video.

I am not sure what part of Illinois you are in, but here in central Ill. it has just been too wet/muddy. Trust me, I am a mailman and have to walk in it all day.

Trax Master Poster Posts: 602 Group: Admin Member #11 Joined: December 14, 2005	well the blizzard should cope with wet conditions, provided its not actually raining on you a little mud shouldnt hurt....

Worthy of the Trax! Posts: 29 Group: Member Member #39 Joined: January 9, 2006	Just a little worried about the Sphere ESC. It's not waterproof. I have the day off but my wife is working today. I will see what time she gets home - if it's still light out I may try to get some video tonight.
