Hi Stefan, welcome!
What sort of electrics are you using? brushed motors or brushless? People often put balloons around the receiver when running in the wet. Some ESC's are 'waterproof' but still maybe a good idea to try seal it up - the problem is heat buildup though so I'm not sure how to go about that. Brushed motors don't get as fussy with a bit of moisture - at least that's my experience, but brushless motors can go crazy with the slightest hint of moisture in the wrong place - so people tend to cover the end of the motor with some putty (blue tack it's called over here - but gum-like stuff that you use to stick posters on the wall, nothing permenant) For the tyres, I've seen people put screws through the tyres but tbh I'd not recommend it - imagine one flying out at full speed! OUCH!!! not sure what to suggest there

Maybe a pair of paddle like tyres on the rear to give you traction. We dont get a great deal of snow in the UK unfortunatly.

One thing I've seen people do is to put a layer of flexible plastic on the inside of the tire... then poke holes out the tire with thumb tacks. This gives excellent traction on ice.
For snow... I would use Panther Paddles. If the truck is 2WD, get a set of Panther Razors to go along with the Paddles. Lots of good snow action with the panther tires on youtube.
