SNOW PLOW FOR 20 $ OR FREE
USE THE CHASSIS BRACES AND ENGINE MOUNT AND FUEL CAN
CUT THE FUEL CAN 3 1/2 BY 6
SHAPE CAN LIKE A PLOW
THE DRILL THREE HOLE ON BACK SIDE OF ENGINE MOUNT
PUT SCREWS INTO THE BRACES AND IT SHOULD SCREW IN TO THE BUMPER AND CUT THE PLASTIC SKIDPLATES

dude, no offense, but that is really sloppy. give me a pair of tin snips and a welder and i could make a kickass one, but that looks really bad. you should trim that and make it straight and nice, and i still dont think it will work.

Iuno.. It looks alot more bootleg than a snow plow. I think putting a thing of sheet metal in the front of the Tmaxx would provide more coverage and plowing power :x

With a properly designed plow, it is possible to move quite a bit of snow with a RC. A T-Maxx should be able to go through about three inches pretty easily.
Here are some videos.

Man that thing is sweet. nice job on that

Thanks. I made my first plow quite some time ago, and I think the very first version wasn't much better than what the first poster in this thread made. I wasn't very happy with how it worked. I kept trying, and the design evolved into what I'm showing here.
It is a very tough design. I had one out yesterday plowing slush, and just general bashing. I can angle it, raise and lower it, and even apply down-pressure. It is still quite lightweight too. The actual plow assembly on the red one weighs about eight ounces.

so are you putting them into production or are you just doing it for fun?

I plan on giving a copy to a local hobby shop owner or two, to review before I begin to sell them.
I think in the future, I could create partial kits, but the tough part is that there are so many different styles and sizes of trucks. I also don't have the funds right now for producing them on a large scale. Trying to create a universal fit plow that behaves as well as these do, would be quite a trick. Partial kits are possible though, with a variety of blade sizes.
I plan on including winterization tips, and tire chain building tips with the tutorial. I plan on distributing them on CD as an HTML (web style) interface, with the actual plans as PDF files.
