::Big thread bump since it's winter again!:: Hey snowcat-ers! I just ordered a DX body from Team Blue Groove for my SR-to-DF rig and was wondering if it's wide enough to run the battery crossways in the cab section. Thanks in advance  .

You should be fine. They're almost the same dimensions as a DF body. I run 5000 mah across mine (Turnigy's) because the battery leads come off the top, if your battery's come out the end could be a no fit. The interior could cause issues also if you choose to run it. On a side note...anybody looking for metal tracks I have an extra set, shoot me a PM. | |

I'm running the Velineon 3500kV brushless system on 3S lipos, but my other one has a Castle 5700kV system. I was thinking of trying the 7700kV motor  . I'm hoping the new DX body has a wider cab than the stock SR lid.**Just missed your post gdb85, thanks for the input! Last edited by TrailDawg362; 12-29-2013 at 01:52 PM. |

I'll have to dig through my decal collection and come up with something appropriate for the body, since none are included. I have a red/blue and amber flashing light bar and some Axial light buckets to add some scale features to it ,

I just ran my Blizzard SR today with its new metal tracks!! It has 2 Titan 380 motors for power and works awesome!! The tracks pretty much double the SR's weight! It is a tank now but wicked!! It can climb icier hills better. I love the metal tracks and Traxxas Titan 380's. I just have to watch my throttle finger.  I bought a new Futaba 4PLS Radio and will be adding a new Futaba 6 Channel R2106GF receiver. It should fit where I have my current FRSky 4 Channel Rx for my 3PM-X radio.

I am sure I probably just over looked it in the thread, but does anyone have a part # or link to the material used for the brake pad mod?

Thanks for the info. Went down to the hardware store this morning ( we have a real one here!) and picked up some stuff I believe will work well. Did teh pad and diff fluid mod just a few minutes ago. Now I just need some snoe to check it out in. Also, ordered a BL set up for it yesterday. Nothing high power, just a 540 class 1850KV motor to give it a bit more speed than the 35 turn brushed motor that is in it now. I want to keep the speed scaleish. |

Time to get this one going again. Has anyone made any plows that look like a real one? I made one out of abs but it's not holding up good. I'm thinking about making one out of thinner aluminum but worried about the weight. Any ideas.

Chris Rappel on utube has a large one. I will be bringing back a blizzard for a guy in New Richmond in October. He found one that needs a bit of love! I can't wait I just went threw me and my son's blizzards last week were ready! 149 r/c worx team driver Last edited by snapon boy; 09-04-2016 at 12:48 PM. |

I'm working on trying to figure out how I want to paint my new body too since mine somehow melted.
