Gotta check ebay from time to time for a ESP plow like this one on my truck



they pop up from time to time, be ready to pay anywhere from 50-100$

BTW if ya want better pics to build it yourself, let me know, it wouldnt be hard to make.

I have actually seen people use those to plow their drive ways in the winter. I found one of those at a garage sale a few years back but didnt understand how a plow that small would work on a plow truck, then a neuron took off in my brain and I realized it was for RC

i was thinking about that before, they wouldnt be hard to make at all, I no longer have a truck to do it, there all crawler's now.

Ya i originally seen one of the esp snow plows on ebay, i would make one probaly though, That one of rc4wd, i dont think the shocks worked just for looks and it would be easy to make one that the shocks worked!

The chains are old school APM parts, although its the same time of links you can buy from the hardware store.

I have not cooked any motors yet, its all in the proper set up, if its done right you shouldnt have a problem.
