NICAD at freezing temps [TANKS]

["Chrysanthos Kanellopoulos" <xchrysk-at-otenet.gr>]

Is it true that running your tank near freezing temperatures ruins Ni -Cad batteries?  I was wondering about driving in snow. WHat I do before driving through ponds of water or snow,  is I give the tracks a good bath with thick lub oil for car's engine, hoping that it will reach the hinges's pivots inside and somehow protect them from friction caused by mud. Indeed, after this bath, they are trully quiet and smooth. The oil is also dripping over teh suspensions and gives an overall  realistic finish.....
