Ya Henry I am going to work on that and getting it to swing from the radio instead of by hand but as bad as it shoves the truck sideways when it is swung to the side it is going to take some thing with some guts to it.

thats one mean plowing machine:cool:

Thanks hitachi

I am uploading a video right now on YouTube and I will post it in a little bit.

Here is a link to my video and another pic I trimmed the opening in the body for the plow I didn't t like how it looked and if I still don't like it I have a brand new body I got from horizon hobby because this body was supposed to be metallic blue and the paint was missing the blue it was just metallic clear if you want to call it some thing so they sent me a new body for free and refunded the cost of the defective paint and told me to keep the old body. It is amazing what companies will do when you are nice to them when you have a problem.

it moves the snow very nicely:)
you use a 2 point switch to raise and lower the blade?

Freddy we have snow and temps that are barely out of the single digits. You must have replied while I was making my last post.

Yes the blade is on a 2 pos switch I am using my Spectrum DX6I to run the truck.

I made a protector for the ESC tell me what you think I sealed the wires with hot glue so it will be easier to get apart if I need to.

We are supposed to get more snow this week so maybe I will be able to try it out in some fresh snow.

Thanks Paul just using what I had, so far I have not spent any money to do this every thing I used I already had and I just put it to good use.

very nice and like the weather proofing!

Thanks stuff sometimes you just have to look around and think about it for a while and some thing will come to you.

Travis. Great little snow plow. Takes a little longer, but it sure beats the heck out of shoveling the stuff.;)

[tc1cat]

Nice looking plow. Don't you kind of lose the truck in the snow??? White in snow can be trouble especially if you get to pushing a lot of snow!

[sparkycuda]

Hey, Travis! Truck pushes great, but maybe a load of scale cement blocks or firewood to give it even more traction? Great use of a discarded pill bottle. May have to build a bigger rig if you get much more snow. Great build, as usual.

Hey Travis and FGD, can you guys loan us them there plows of yours? Our airports are in need:D

Hey Travis and FGD, can you guys loan us them there plows of yours? Our airports are in need:D

Thomas,Travis & I would be more than welcome to help you out.(Sorry "oo",don't mean to speak for you.I know how you are). But! It would be cheaper to fly to you,buy the kits,build the trucks & fly back.Than ship the stuff there & back.:eek:
So have a little snow do yu?? Good! Better there than here.:D
Although,We've gotten our fair share this year also.Enough where trucks are useless.
Look at the bright side,keeps you in your boyish figure runnin the hickery hoe.:D
