Status: offline 		I ran the blizzard in the back yard last night, (where the light from the street lights don't shine (very dark)) and it looked awe sum with the lights on in the dark, I am thinking about adding some big LED spot lights to the front as well (like on a rally car) and maybe changing to a four channel radio set to turn the spot lights on and off also thinking about adding either a plough or a winch if not both ( I saw an item about modifying a servo with the stop removed so that it will turn under control of the stick, but I cannot remember where I saw the item.)

Gettin kinda crowded in there. Don't think it would care for snow (lol). Aren't you using a stick pack for your main power ?

Status: offline 		Hi I am using these for my running power but when I get the ESC the four AA batteries and the holder will be removed along with the speed controller and it's servo, resistor and micro switch , the yellow pack is from the heng long tiger and is crap the black two are 1200mAH and are twelve years old and they are starting to lose form, the two carson packs are 2300mAH that give me a good run and are less than two months old

Status: offline 		I have bought some Spot lights Like the ones you see on rally cars and I am going to fit them to the front of the blizzard on the chassis below the cab so I will have to make a bracket to fit them.
