Default 3D Printed Snow Blower

I'm trying to get my project kickstarted. It is a 1/10th scale 3d printed snow blower. It is powered by a standard 540 sized motor and uses standard RC servos to raise and lower the whole snow blower. Also a servo is used to turn the shoot that directs the snow. It can plow through 14 x 5 inches of powdered snow in one pass! This would work on 1/10th scale RC trucks as well!

I sold about 4 kits already for this one on my website, temporarily disabled the stock until I see how this kickstarter project turns out.

I have a long running thread on the snow cat forums here http://s1.zetaboards.com/RCsnowcats/...749076/20/#new

It's around 3-4lbs when its all assembled.

Ok. That's just sick. SICK MAN! This thing looks better than DJ Medic's blower! lol

Beautiful! I applaud you on your nice work. It's great that you can make them somewhat affordable and blank for regular trucks too. Cheers man!
