Default TXT-1 plowing snow *with video*

Video

It was too easy to plow the 1.5" of snow... It could easily handle a 3" snowfall

i wanted to do sumthing like that with my stampede, but i think you need 4wd and a bigger truck to do that,

That is cool, and works surprisingly well! How long does it take to do the whole drive?

The extra weight from the bigger truck and 2 batteries in parallel with the 4wd helps a lot. It would be more difficult with a smaller 2wd ike your stampede.

Thanks!

It goes much faster when I'm not trying to record and plow at the same time. I can do the driveway in about 10 min....I only used 2500mah out of 8400mah available to do it.

Then it would leave some snow still on the ground, over night it can freeze, thus making the plow useless

That works awesome!!! I always figured those plows were kind of a joke and just for show. Who knew they actually worked! As for the grinding noise from the plow, have you ever heard the noises a full scale truck with a plow makes? That grinding noise is nothing!

Your TXT is sick.

I'd love to see what the neighbors say when they look out their window and see a tiny truck plowing the driveway haha!

I'm sick of snow at the moment, but having that rig would ease my pain quite a bit

That is really cool. Granted it would probably be faster to do it with a regular snow shovel, it isn't nearly that much fun! Nice job!

I think that video is a fake, you best bring that to my driveway, there a few inches there. Prove it!

Nice vid, got me wondering if my rs4 mt could do it?
