I thought I woulds share what I did and how it works to keep the snow where it belongs. Outside! Rather then follow the Blizzard directions and use small pieces of rubber to protect the body. I ran full strips along the sides, this helps stop the tracks throwing the snow from getting into the body. Next run a strip on the front to stop the snow from entering when you plow through the thicks stuff. Balloon your receiver, box or run a water proof esc. I didn't bother with servos or motor as they can handle some moisture. Running a full strip of Velcro around the cab will go a long way to preventing the snow from getting in. I still need to finish up the front myself. Heres the snow cat after one battery pack, covered in snow.    Now when I carefully take of the body parts you see how much was able to enter the chassis. Not much!
