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"thumbsup"

I just need to find a way to fix it:x

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"thumbsup"

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"thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup" Don't come across these to often8)

Anyone else here have any original Blizzards or Heavy metals?

These were taken when the Heavy metal was up and running.

That website is pretty dead but has great posts

T.R.C 01-05-2008 07:17 PM

the new models look pretty fun for the price, nice collection by the way

wrx-n-ktm 01-05-2008 07:27 PM

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

mickrcarver 01-05-2008 07:43 PM

i had the nitro version of this it was fun but a real pain to put together

One of those van bodies is just screaming for an A Team paint job....

X2, sweet pics!

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!!

jimbiss 01-06-2008 01:28 PM

I'm thinking i will put a brushless motor in my after i get it. Not sure yet but i'm thinking about 4600 mamba max combo

My bad I thought I got it from there, but actually got it from Ultimate hobbies. The one I got is different than the one they have now though

T.R.C 01-06-2008 02:19 PM

hmmmm I bet those would be a blast out in the dunes...

Mad Scientist 01-06-2008 02:24 PM

SnailMail 01-06-2008 03:40 PM
