Still working on uploading a video.
 
I have no problem with snow. It's the mud that bothers me. ;)
Very cool. Must have been a blast. I'm looking forward to the video of it.
 
This thing will never see mud! I bought it with the intentions to run in the winter months only... which is almost half the year up here.;)
Having to relearn controls with the a dual stick contoller is a lot more difficult then I expected. I will post a new video in the daylight soon.

Nice! I'd love to get one of the new Blizzards. I think I'd have to drop a Sabertooth in it, though. The factory control scheme would drive me nuts.

Wow, that's some very heavy wet snow. Looks like it would be a blast.

Yes the snow was very wet. Temps had hit 40 degrees that day. I may have to upgrade the motors soon, they really bogged down in that heavy snow.

I agree! I will be searching for a new controller.

What operates the plow? Is it the number 3 position on the receiver? I have a nitro blizzard. Mine does not have a plow. (probably wouldn't be a good idea). I don't use the dual stick controller. I'm just using a Flysky GT3B.

From what I understand (I have an EV, the electric version of what you have) The SR's plow is operated by the left/right axis on the left stick. The same stick that controls the the left track. That's why a lot of people put Sabertooths in them. They just move all the directional controls to the right stick, and leave the left for operating the plow.

Sand is the closet thing to snow. Lol

Yes you are right. Its tricky trying to run the plow and the the F/R motion with the same stick.
 
We finally got some fresh snowfall up here, the perfect time to break out the blizzard again. This thing is a blast to drive!
 
That is sweet... I must own one!! LOL I wonder if you could put brushless motors in it, or if the SC will handle Lipo?
