Is there an RC season or not?

Is there a RC season? Are your cars only out for part of the year?

Snow driving is way too fun to put them away for the winter!

 

[KnowAir]

I have some that I won't run in the snow or mud, others run all year. I'm in the northeastern US. We have 2 seasons here, July and winter, LOL. Just kiddin of course, we get maybe 4 to 5 months of above freezing temps. Bearings will be sacrificed to snow bashing for sure, plastics are "less" flexible but honestly, I haven't really experienced much of a difference in broken parts while snow bashing.. I'd go crazy if I were to pack it in every winter!

basher season is anytime above 50 degrees, crawler and race season is all year

We have the opposite here. January/February, Summer!!
Too hot to run RC's outdoors right now. I go to an indoor track when I can.

I store mine in the garage..so I don't have to clean them..keep em frozen till next time. Bearings last longer if left frozen

If only ran in "nice" weather, i'd only be running 3 or 4 months out of the year.

I have summer bashers and winter bashers though.

Only weather related, no fun at 100F (40C), rest is season. Below freezing you have to deal with breaking plastic, but there are fixes for that as well.

Definitely. The season apparently starts at middle age, when you can finally afford it to some degree, and ends either when you die or are threatened with divorce. The weather really makes no difference.

I must admit, once ambient temp crests the 85f mark, my rc enthusiasm goes right out the sliding glass door..to the pool!!

That's when you shift to the RC boats in the pool. Still RCing!!!

Right!? Great idea! Funny thing is, I have a nice small lake down the hill from my front yard..it's about 200 yards acrossed and 7/8 of a mile long. Yet, I have no real interest in rc boats
Actually I am interested, just not enough to spend the money on,LOL.

 

[jkflow]

Done exactly that, cars in winter/spring and boats during rest, with a healthy mix of overlapping. The only issue is room in the car, which limits the daily activity.

haha I can't do that would feel sorry for em

Rc never takes a break here. I don't care what the weather is, I've got a rig for it.

I absolutely love my back yard when its got a deep frozen layer of snow... so fun to drift around on!

 

[Senton_Prime]

Nope.. here in FL you can bash, drag, race, crawl, boat or fly all year, almost daily.. though there are a few days in the winter where it gets a little nippy!!
