It snowed pretty good here today. We've got about 3 inches so far. I did my first full donut with the truck today and turned it into a 720 . Best I ever pulled off in the past was a 180. There's this perfect spot in the lot at work and I found it. Made some pretty circles all over the lot too. I tried shooting some video while I did it and if it came out decent, it'll go up on youtube.

I got my truck going sideways up a little hill to get it back to the shed after I did a little work on it today. I ad to turn left and go up a little hill so I cut my wheels hard and floored it. The truck seems to like throwing the back end out. It's nice and predictable though.

4x4 works good. I brought it down the end of the driveway the other day and had to drop it in 4x4 to get it back up because of all the ice. I really didn't want to get out in the snow to engage the hubs though. And breaking the back end loose was quite fun.

Yup that's why I never try to push the truck too hard. the fastest I think I was going when I drifted the truck was 25 mph and it was on a side street in my hometown.
