Maybe one of the units they use for truck pulling? Seems that would be a similar use. Hi torque low rpm motor set-up. Pics please! I love seeing fabrication skills at work.

You want to power an auger? Or just move a truck pushing a regular plow blade?

Truck with plow blade that moves up/down/left/right. If it was capable of operating more than 5 or 6 servos that would be great.

Well you can use a TRX4 and it can equip a basic plow kit. Otherwise you want a large truck like an SCX6 or maybe a larger Cross truck. And then you would simply run high voltage servos off a large 2S pack and run its own 7 or 8 channel radio. Once you know which truck you can size the plow. And then match the motor for that truck.
