just took it out for paint, im thinking of mounting it to the chassis, and or bumper. i've been kicking around a few options for the plow.

Can't wait to see that baby with a big ol' plow pushin' that snow around.

well still working on the plow and how to mount it to make it funtional. power lift, etc.
well we got a little bit of powder today so i had to go play in it. i was out of town today so i didnt get much time before it got dark. i didnt have a set of fully charged batteries, so these had to do. still was fun just would have been better with fully charged batteries. maybe the snow will still be around saturday and i can get a better video. but for the time being heres some pics and videos.

Woah, that was real nice! My truck can't help but slipping in the snow, and its quite obvious that those chained tires make a difference.

That thing flies!

Hey good job on the wheels, those look a lot better than the ones i made a while back when that winter xmod thread was started.

That thing gets around pretty well in that powder. I'm sure if it was a bit more packed down it would get around even better. I love the paint, looks really good man. What motor are you running in it? - Sorry if that question has been answered already.

it has a 180 motor in it. its ont a name brand one but it has plenty of power. and this was with weak batteries.
and yeah if we can get any snow here that isnt powder it would be better.

I think you should slow it down a bit and put more torque.

nw~hummer · #70 01-15-2009, 10:46 PM

might be good for muddin too lol

zippo855 · #71 01-16-2009, 01:12 AM

this thing has a lot of torque already. not sure how much more i need. i have my crawlers, this one is more of a offroad / snow playing vehicle.

yeah i bet it could double as a mudder. might have to see.

amorton94 · #72 01-16-2009, 05:43 PM

i would love to take that thing up to breckenridge and let it rip down the slopes, THAT WOULD BE SO FUN!!LOL any chance you could make and sell me a pair???

himynamebebrian · #73 01-17-2009, 03:23 PM

thats pretty wicked i have to say.
now make a working snow thrower! for it. that'd be sweet.

zippo855 · #74 03-30-2009, 01:12 AM

dont think i forgot about this project. just had some other things to do first. well heres the finished product. not too shabby. and to think the 10-12 inches of snow we got made for the perfect background. goota love ks. end of march and start the week with hail and severe weather, 60 mile an h our winds. then end the week with a snow storm..

wadethejuggalo · #75 03-30-2009, 04:56 PM

nice i still dont see a plow on it.....

matt sti · #76 03-30-2009, 04:59 PM

i wonder if that thing would be able to plow a sidewalk........

amorton94 · #77 03-31-2009, 11:04 PM

If you lined it up right, you could make it look like it was hauling the fifth wheel/camper in the background. That thing looks good. I don't know what you did to it, it looks the same as last time, to me anyways. But I still like it.

if it wasnt to deep it would be pretty good. i'd say 1/2 inch max. maybe a little more

thanks, and if you look at the last pictures you'll notice red on the bumpers still.

thanks for the comments guys

red on the headlight lenses is the only red i still see...but it fits in, so i think this is a great paintjob. too bad my truck project couldn't be finished in time to enter this comp. i think i'll be voting for yours
