Yup, no weight over the drive wheels and one other factor that I forgot to mention: Too high of revs (410 diff). The last thing you need in snow is too much torque. That is one of the reasons for the clutch in my formula, so that you can shift sooner and reduce the torque at the drive wheels. David Lieb |
