• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

:shemademe_smilie:How About Your Pictures(s) of 'SPYDER in the SNOW.' I Tried but 'MY SPYDER' Just would NOT Warm up to the IDEA. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: PS: POST PIC IF YOU HAVE ONE.:spyder: LET IT SNOW!!!!! :thumbup: SLOW SUNDAY and wanted to SEE something Different.:coffee:
 
I don't have one, but blacklightning has one. he pulled out from garage in snow and took :30 to shovel path back to garage! he lives in Apex, NC and from my area to his had about 5 - 6 " snow
 
We got a total of about 7" of snow, but at the time of these pictures, there was only about 5" on the ground. Needless to say, the F3T did not good at all in the snow. But a few years earlier, I took my RT out, and it did much better. I actually posted a video on facebook that my daughter shot of me trying to get up a slight hill on my driveway. I ended up having to shovel a path to get back into the garage. The back tire had no traction at all.

On our way home from southern CA. we spent a night in Lakeview OR. We left about an hour after I took this photo when the roads warmed up. We had patches of snow and ice for about 40 miles then the roads cleared up.

Is it possible to use any kind of snow chais?

A chain may give better grip on the rear wheel which has a tendency to spin on ice or snow. The two front wheels act more as plows. Chains--IMO--would just make that situation worse.

Chains are for "low speed" operation. If they come apart during operation--damage could result.

I wont ride my Spyders in winter conditions. The manual says don't. You also get to play dodgeball with other vehicles out of control. When the black ice comes out--mine are parked.

Others can and will do what they want. It's your Spyder. :bowdown::bowdown:
 
Here is my 2014RTS-SE6 covered ( with BRP full cover) with snow on top:
