Little delay on the update, was a bit busy, but got the chassis done and diff finished (I never really did the LSD, don't know why[&:]).

Lunchboxer

Because you simply don't respect our opinions, right?!?! (joke)

No worry, you can always do it later.. it won't take long to take it out if you have to...

GTRice

Wow, LB, never really expect that lol, I see ok, it's a joke...

I was worry about will the fluid or something like that will leak out as you said that before. Not sure, but I think that was the cause that made me did it, but if I wasted anyone time's on giving opinions on the LSD info, my apology, sorry. But you guys helped me with many other info here, so thanks!

Lunchboxer

Man, I was just joking... take it easy, eh?!

I certainly was worried about it leaking.. I didn't know what to expect.. but I think w/ very thick silicon fluid, leaking is not a real problem..

Give it a try first without, and like I said, you can always take the diff out and modify it later.. not a major problem..

GTRice

Yeah, I know what you mean now. It's ok.

Yeah, true, I can always do the mod later. But everything is almost completed now, just that my father got his done way before me. [:@] Either he has lots of years experience with RC or I am too slow.[:@]

minigranis

Well I just ordered one so I hope it can be done.

Lunchboxer

Keep us posted when you get it!

minigranis

Will do.

GTRice

Sounds great. Post your build here.

GTRice

Got the side plates on the chassis, just the wheels, tracks, steering and rear suspension adjuster linkages, and the body of course left. Soon complete, pictures tomorrow of it all done.

Lunchboxer

Is it the standard setup to have the steering linkage below the deck? Or it is a mod like someone else posted?

On the EP, the linkage are above....

Just curious!

GTRice

Yeah, that's the standard set-up on the GP version. No mods involved here, fully stock!

GTRice

There you have it, finally done, just the body left! Later get the pictures with body, it's still unpainted.

Looks nice. I would get a good rx batt pack and waterproof the elects tho. It will get a bit wet in there.

GTRice

Yeah, do that soon probably. But I'm not really intended to spend very much in it, since I only bought this to drive around with this winter.

GTRice

Finally finished, the body and everything:

My father's Blizzard (the older version, GP EV) that was just finished as well recently:

Yellow looks awesome, I'm still trying to decide what colour to paint mine. Also waiting for my brake pads to get here http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/3867 hopefully they don't have too much grip!

GTRice

Arrg, I got the diff gear box put wrong way and the screws that holds it together wrong way as well. I found that out when I was breaking in it's first tank and the track wasn't functioning right. Had to take everything apart, but got it fixed today afterward. Action pictures and maybe a video of it pretty soon.

GTRice

Some action shots and a video.

(hard to drive and taking pictures and filming at the same time, so that's why the camera was still in the video and the pictures went a little blurry.)

Lunchboxer

Nice! Glad that you get to run it!

The rear wheel looks odd, though.. like it can go down too much?! Might need to adjust the setup a little bit..

My Feedback: (4)

Nice job, are you enjoying it ?

GTRice

Thanks guys. I adjusted the rear wheels down flat touching the ground like what the instructions did. That picture of it that looks a bit too down is probably the body at the rear is probably a bit too high or something.

GTRice

If you guys have trouble trying to see the video, I linked it wrong with the wrong URL. Got it edited now.

Nice vid. Thata a good lookin Blizzard. The smoke looks awsome coming out the back, and the sound gives it a realistis touch. Lets seee some more snow action. Maybe get a vid of you and the green one racing? That would be pretty cool.
