Snow Skitter

This is a strange beast. Haven't got the bugs worked out yet but still ran two batteries through it and had fun trying to control it.
I think it needs a bigger tail. I did move the battery to the rear and angled the motor up a little more and that seems to have helped a little but it still just wants to mostly run around in circles. In powder snow it tracks straighter but any little ice bumps will throw it onto a new track, no real pristine snow available here.

Update 02/2013 I made a much larger tail and rudder and tested it outside my house - much more control. Will go to icy parking lot tomorrow and test it out.

Tried it, better control but still goes in circles. Too much nose weight I think.
