Ha, I like the snow plows!! I think Kyosho used to make one a long time ago... but the new Blizzard does not have that anymore!

Okay, so you are running the medium setting..

Description:

INCLUDES: Two Silver (soft) springs 72215a.
One black (medium) spring 72215b.
One Gold (hard) spring 72215c.
Four black spacers 72215d
One grease tube Z160
One instruction sheet.

But of course, it really depends on the size of the diff housing.. the gold spring might simply be too stiff if the diff housing is smaller on the Kyosho then the HPI, for example...

Still, I want to give the 100k diff fluid a try, though.. ha ha ha!!

Status: offline 		Hey guys i have one of the df-300s i bought it last year and built it before the winter. These things are SOOOOOO much fun. Seriously you dont need brushless. As long as you have lots of snow banks to climb you will never be bored of the speed. Making-trax is an awesome site and you should definitly be a member.

Right now i run my blizzard on the stock silver can, a LRP A.I. esc (waterproof), gp3700 7-cell battery, and a crappy am pistol radio.

The chassis does come assembled but there is some work to do!!

Go ideas are definitly better grease in the diff (i havent done this yet) and also putting some kinda of pad on the brakes so that it doesnt have as much power for stopping. You will see why this is a must once u get your df-300

Anyways another tip is to leave your blizzard outside for like 15-20 min before you decide to use it because if its at room temp and you drop it on the snow, the snow binds up in the boogies really fast. But a cold blizzard will cruise right threw.
