I guess I just like to post things like in a step-by-step instruction, ha! It is not really meant for people who have the Blizzard already (as they would know exactly what the brake looks like, etc.) but rather, for people who don't have one to see. But I agree sometimes I could have posted multiple pictures in on post!

Thats why I'm here

To perform all these work, it is easier if you remove the front lower plastic cover (the plastic piece right after the brace).

To adjust the top nut location, it is easier to do so from the top. In order to do that, you need to move the battery mount out of the way (see pic).

Diff assembly back into the chassis!

Be sure to adjust the brakes so there's no drag.. to check, turn the sprocket from one side and see the other side turns (without much, if any, diff action). And of course, just the feel in general (to see if it is easy to turn)!

Combine it w/ silicon fluid filled diff, it should allow the Blizzard to track straight and offer some modulation in turning.. (I hope, ha!)

Status: offline 		Probably... Kyosho even sells its own pad, I believe... (I think the nitro version comes w/ pad.. maybe some nitro Blizzard owners can confirm that?)

But that's more $$$, so.... ha!

Besides, more fun taking things apart and then put together, no?!
