That is just an exploded view I found, it may even be from the nitro version, but I figured it should get the point across

LB ... Nice build, tips, etc. I have one coming ( in trans now ) from Ultimate. Just got done with my Axial-10, but 18" of white and it won't be gone for a long time ! One ? I'm mostly nitro and not up on the new electronics. What esc without breaking the bank ? I get the feeling that you guys really don't care for the LRP A1. I'm certainly not going with another MM or something like that. I do run a M8 / Spek system, so I'll be using a spare 3000 rx. thanx.

Nice! Be sure to post some pics of your Blizzard once you got it!
I like the LRP AI Runner Plus okay.. it is cheap and it is still working! (and I have had it in multiple cars before, move it around, etc.) And technically, it is waterproof! (although I never try to find out.. !) One of the reasons why I got it...
If you are just running the stock silvercan motor, any ESC will do, really... I wouldn't be overly concerned about the ESC. And your Spektrum RX will be more than up to the task.
Keep us posted! Ask away if you have more questions!

Just to have some safety margin on current handling.. but on a silvercan, it probably doesn't make much difference...

Here is the first shot of my new blizzard, I still need to put sticker & the plastic hardware on the body.
It has the stock motor in it for now, but that won't last long, it needs more speed. I think I'm putting a Mamba Max 4600kv in it.
The paint is Pactra "true blue pearl" rc293

Looks good, Jim! 
Mamba, eh!? Let us know how the sensorless setup work in the Blizzard! It is probably okay as I seem to drive my Blizzard at full throttle most of the time.. ha!
On the slow stuff, though, see if the cogging will be an issue..
What kind of battery will you be using?!

Hmm.. I use IB-4200 cells.. so it last a LONG time.. (w/ the stock motor)
After my build, I used the same pack for indoor testing and then went outdoor for all those pics and video.. same pack.. LOL!
I am sure you will get 30+ minutes w/ all the latest high(er) capacity batteries...
I am sure it depends on how you drive and the condition as well (in my case, not much powder snow, so not much drag), but I still think with silvercan you will get plenty of run time!

3800mAh will be fine...
Are you going to do the LSD?!
You got your kit yet?!

Okay, so Tower got this ESP plow kit that's made for Clod!
I bet it is pretty easy to fit this to the Blizzard!

Yeah, I don't think I would get it unless I get another Blizzard..
W/ the plow, you will only be able to do scale driving, no more off-roading, climbing over stuff, etc. LOL!
2nd Blizzard?! Maybe get one of those old body style Blizzard.. hee hee..

Maybe you could figure out some kind of quick release, so you would be able to take of the plow easily for bashing.

Sheesh, that would mean I'd have to buy the plow to start playing with, no?!
LOL, I will think about it... wa!
Pretty expensive, though! [:'(]
