Where did you get that Ace? Or.. More likely knowing you, Can you make me one? :lol:

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

Made it, just knocked it up from some sheet metal.

Works okay, moves up and down with the servo and angle change is manual...

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

Should be simple enough eh? I'd just need to think of a good solid way to mount it...

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

On that one I just took the front most bolt out of the clod axle (the one where the stock bumper bolts on) and drilled it thru. Then I put a pin thru and that mounts the plow, it is also where it pivots up and down.

Pretty crude but it worked.

Ya i have to see if i can find a plow or maybe make one then ya i'll jsut attach it solid.

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

How strong is it? I actually want to plow my sidewalks with it :lol:

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

I don;t know but same here we jsut got like 2 incehs of snow and that would be perfect

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

I was just thinking of getting like an 8" diameter pvc pipe an cutting it in half length-wise. Dunno about mounting yet but that'd be plenty strong enough.

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

I plowed my back porch and my front sidewalk with it last year.

Only had about 2" of snow but it did it.

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

srry if this question is dumb

it doesnt snow here so heres my Q why do u need to plow a sidewalk? unless u do it for fun :?

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

Here, its highly reccomended everyone does their sidewalks, so people can walk on them ;) You can with snow, but then it freezes and old people like Ace can break their hips ( :flipoff: )

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

:flipoff:

True though...

I was doing stupid childish stuff when you were in diapers!

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

my father and i were just debating this the other day. i actually sat down and built a whole plow assembly and everything using some white pvc pipe cut in half (i think it was a 7 or 8 inch pipe) and a metal frame w/ 2 servos. its 2 flaws are A) its so heavy that a good bump face plants the truck, and B) i never came up with a good way to mount it.

i did try it out, but i was short of vehicles at the time, so i wound up hooking it up to a radio shack monster patrol :D yeah.... it didnt do very well lol

im biting the bullet and getting either a modclod chassis or a TXT 1 before spring, so ill head on back to the drawing board :)

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

Ya Ace could u make me one please. :D :wink:

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

So you didn't use a full truck? If not maybe a full ~10lb truck could hold it up. How long was the pipe and how much did it weigh?

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

How do u make a stampede Dual motor, and 4 wheel Drive. :?:

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

You can order a kit from Swami here. It's for the Rustler but they're the same truck I believe.

/Edit/ There's several threads/links about 4x4 Pede's on the Traxxas forums.

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

Thanks.

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

I made my Snowplow.. i'll post pics soon..
Now we need to get some more snow :x
And then I need to get 4wd, Dual motors and some better tires, or An Emaxx, Twin Force wouuld be nice :lol:

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

If you really want one I've got a Twin Force for sale. It has a stock-sized carbon fiber chassis atm but I've also got a double-extended chassis for it.

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

Mazlem how much for your Twin Force

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

Ive made a few out of sheet metal , simple designs bent and welded. They work real nice if you have a heavy truck and studed tires it will plow 6 inches quite nicely.Usualy ill plow my deck 3-4 times in a storm about 4-6 inches at a time then let it build up again and repeat. Does suck when your inside looking through a window and it gets stuck, you've got to go out and get it. :x

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

It's got bulletproof diffs, stainless rear swingshafts and titanium driveshafts. I've also got some spare parts for it. Pics are here. $250 shipped?

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

i had made one for my old RC truck. used an old license plate that i bent to a good curve. then i just attached it using some screws and a block of wood. worked pretty good except the truck didnt have enough power to really move the snow once a bunch built up.

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

thats y u live where it doesnt snow and will be forced to push blocks and dolls lol :flipoff:

Re: RC Truck Snow Plowing
 

I have my snowplow made: of coarse out a sheet metal.
I need to get 4wd drive and some like chains ofr tracks so i can get better traction.
