Better in what way?! I'd be interested to know! I think a BL Blizzard will do fine against a nitro Blizzard...

LOL!!! There you go LB. I dont much care for nitro since I have a brushless B44.
The blizzard wont be as fast because it is heavy. But it will surely tear up snow banks and stuff.

Note the difference in the length of the screws -> longer new screws are needed to accommodate the brake pads..

The brake setup of the Blizzard..

The silver cylinder is the piston used to push the steel brake pad against the other pad..

When the servo pulls, it turns the cylinder w/ a notched in the middle, the notche pushes the small cylinder / piston out to apply pressure to the brake pad..
