|  Blizzards
I am borderline obsessed with kyosho blizzards (the older ones anyways) I just wish they were a little easier to find! I was bored tonight so I took some pics of mine real quick. This was my first RC ever, given to me by my late grandfather about 14 or 15 years ago. It's the Kyosho Heavy metal van   I just need to find a way to fix it   I scored this off ebay last year. It's a Blizzard DX with the plow   This is another DX without a plow or a body.    Luckily I found an unpainted DX body with all the lights, exhaust and other plastic pieces  This is another Heavy metal that a member here helped me get! (thanks again Shaun (Yota)!!!!!)   I also have a few of the newer releases. I'm just not as much of a fan of those ones.  And this has to be one of my most prized rc possessions, A complete NIB Heavy metal van Don't come across these to often   Anyone else here have any original Blizzards or Heavy metals? |

The new ones are defiantly fun, and a bit more reliable! I just like the older ones for nostalgic reasons  |

Is it still possible to get newer ones someplace other than Ebay? Because I have been wanting one of these things real bad for about 2 years and could never find someplace that sold them... Anyone know of someplace that does?

I have 2 Blizzards, the newer electric and the nitro. The nitro is ALOT cooler than the others to me, it will crawl and it will haul ass!! When it lunges from hitting second gear, hell yea!!
