Forget about it...Just buy the Kyosho Blizzard. Electric of Nitro options. Keep it stock and enjoy it. Your welcome.

I have a brand new New Bright (I think) snowmobile that I was planning to put a good motor, ESC, and what not but I never got around to it. Its alil over 2 foot long with a rubber track and all. It would be cool as hell modded but I dont have the time or extra parts right now to do it.

I have an Art Attack as well and started messing with making an independed a-arm suspension for it. I should have some pics of that soon.

Right now it's more show than go, I need to get the suspension dialed in to get some power to the ground.

Have one, wasted alot of money on making it an expensive shelf piece. Save yourself the money and just put it on your shelf. Yeah, yeah, I saw the videos on Youtube too. They all work like shit.

That's ALL IT WILL EVER BE!!! They are junk...no longer in business might be a hint. There is NO power that will ever get to the ground with that turd. Yes, i tried it all. I swapped out the stock track to the "deep lug" version. Less than 1/8" lug height difference...still JUNK. STOP spending money, effort and time on it. SHELF IT...It looks good.

Guess what, they have a re-release out in either EP or Nitro. EP being Electric...

2 options...

Build an ArtAttack and do as MrFreeze did...but display it. Or buy a Blizzard and forget about the snowmobile idea.

They are still in business by the way, just because you tried everything and couldn't make it work doesn't mean no else can.

Please, prove me wrong. Also please document your time and $ wasted. I just want a really good laugh when you are frustrated and done. I wish you the best, but I know what all I tried and you are wasting your time. Oh, and thanks for the link to their site. I looked around and just laughed. They haven't done anything but bring more JUNK to the masses.

Someone knows what's up! Hmmm, haven't seen this sled option yet. Doubt it will work though. Too much plastic. Did I mention the Kyosho Blizzard's yet?

OK, where do i get a re-released Blizzard? All the local shops don't deal with Kyosho and when on-line the stores say out of stock or discontinued. Do you have a link, in the USA would be the best. Thanks

I've been on a waiting list at my LHS for a year and a half for one.. Also have email notification at 5 hobby shops for when they come in stock since last Jan. I finally ended up buying one from a member here.

Option #3, buy a kitty kat and make it brushless.
