How do you like the MTR's in snow? Mine stink. Not sure if they're too worn or what. I don't have lockers or anything yet though either. Seems like reverse has much better traction. The couple times I got stuck going forward I was able to reverse fine.

You were able to reverse fine because you front axle was acting as a "plow" and piling snow up in front of it. When you revers, there's not nearly as much "plowing" action.

Those steep pitched roofs make sense!

My MTRs suck. It's a hard rubber with no siping on cold ground. They're okay in deep snow, but that's it.

I was actually thinking about putting some grooves through the tread blocks. They're pretty bad on hard packed snow on the roads. Then in deep snow on the grass forget it. Just a few thin siping grooves just to get some flex.
