Snow Plow (Blackout XTE PRO)
Just ordered the snow plow for my BLACKOUT XTE PRO. Been thinking about it for years (since 2015) and finally gave in.
Why now? On sale + 8% eBay Bucks.
I will post updates when I start working on it.

I went through all stock & rcscrewz kit screws. One did fit but wasn't long enough.

Those who want to do this option 2 might have to come up with parts.

I hope to test the plow tomorrow...

Well I tested the plow today. It did fine for like 20 seconds but then screws holding the plow to the bumper got bent. I actually had to drill one of them to get it out.
I ordered new stainless steel screws. I also need to buy some "spacers" (or whatever) to increase the space/distance between the plow and the ground.

New M2 stainless steel screws arrived but then they are a bit smaller than I liked. So I had to order thicker M2.5 screws.
M2.5: 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, and nuts. I'm currently using 20mm screws since it is the longest I can use.
I put 1 larger nut (I found them in the garage) over smaller M2.5 nut. I also added servo arm link to hold the mount.
Tried to use the plow today but as usual the snow is too wet (slushy). Blackout don't like wet snow. I checked to see if any screws or nuts are loose but it seem pretty solid.
I ordered M2.5 30mm screws & nuts hoping to up the plow off the ground.
