Build Thread DIY TRX-4M Snow Plow

[CertifiedMike]

That was next on my list to try, but the truck I built was so incapable I imagined then it would make very little difference. But on bigger, heavier rigs, hell yeah that would help.

What would be ideal, and would likely work great on many different setups, because you're not pushing much snow, would be this guy, which you can find stl files for on the internet to 3d print.

This setup takes 4 channels, as the exhaust stack is also controlled by a servo

F'ing genius!!! I LOVE this thing!!!
THIS is a good reason to buy a 1/4 scale 4x4 and take this idea to the next level!
Maybe tank tracked???
BAD AZZ!!!

Yeah, a tracked vehicle, like a TRX4 Traxx with that snowblower would probably do pretty good.

Now you need to try it with an SCX6! These little guys just don't have enough weight to get the job done but it looks great!

It's either I'd put a plow on it or I'd attach my recliner to it and pull myself to the grocery store
