I took the Predator and the ex out in the snow which i really shouldent have tooken the Ex out case i had to take all the MX stuff off and put my paddles on :p we got around 7 inches here and about 30 mph wind gusts. i didnt ride the Ex much since its not set up for that type of riding......we have a bunch of Dirt roads out here that they dont maintain and theres one that i decided to ride on.. well the first part of it was fine but once i started to get comfortable on it there was about a 5ft drift infront of me and and ice below me so i locked up my brakes turnt sideways preparing for the worst and hit the drift going pretty fast and there was snow everywhere in my helmet down my pants you know:D i also rode the predator awhile that day....also about 4 or 5 people got there pickups stuck and i ended up pulling them out..one goy slid into a ditch and hit a culvert and you know thos drain pipes that go through land....metal..well i got him pulled out and when i was pulling him he started spinning his tires and got a pretty big slit in his tire.....anyway maby this should be under powertrain but all three things my pick up my predator and my EX started cutting out after a full day of riding in the snow. i think i found tho problem on the predator and the EX but not the truck i was getting water in the airbox and my carb was gettin watter in it and freezin up......anyone know how to prevent this? it was the same prob in both Quads.......ANYWAY sorry for the long dumb post but thats what my day was long and dumb:o

Well all the above i guess,,,,,, friday afternoon i tore my 310R down stripped the white powdercoat off the frame, steering stem, motor mounts and fender brackets,,,,,,,,,,then repowdered it in a different color.....(thread is in the body forum;) ) and i spent today putting it back together..........

now i need to order some aluminum radiator shrouds for it,,,,,,,,,then put the plastic back on and then im ready for the sand again
