[BENDER]

Very cool. He needs some chains on those tires though.

 

[TwistedXT]

i wonder if i can rig one with a manual speed contorl and duel batteries setup like a stock txt and have a 3rd channel control the speed of the thrower...... hhhhhmmmmmm.... hhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Its more or less a plow with a snow thrower attachment. Very cool none the less.

 

[JohnRobHolmes]

I know my next project now. Thanks a lot buddy!

 

[TwistedXT]

just emailed a local guy sellin a toro power shovel for $50... yeah.. i dont have to shovel anymore!!! woo hoo..

 

[HndsWthtShdws]

There is a build thread on scale 4x4 somewhere. All I remember is that he used a separate motor for the auger and thrower, and that that thrower is on the side.

Looks like he needs some chains and lockers.

It doesn't look like it blows all that much snow. It's more or less a snow plow that looks cool.

I'd have to agree. Cool idea though. If you could get it to actually throw enough snow to be worth anything,it'd be fun to have.

 

[badger]

Forget installing the plow, I just want the auger & thrower to chase small animals around. Or maybe even a battle bots scale event to see how many "scale" parts you can rip off a scaler. :lol:

 

[Shaun]

I think I know someones scaler that would work for that, lol.

 

[Crawler374]

Well, i would'nt be too sure about that. If you scale that thing to 1:1 it is blowing HUGE amounts of snow. "thumbsup"

 

[Stormin2u]

Thats so far over top I wonder how you decide to do a project like that :shock:

It's a progressive disease. It starts with gluing a jerry can to your comp rig, then you're building a 6x6, then you're scratchbuilding bodies and working out how to build a functional man-lift bucket for your GI Joe. Scalers in the advanced stage can usually be found drawing up plans for quarter-scale RC Space Shuttle transport platforms, usually written on the walls using their own excrement.

eh eh eh.. look what followed me home!!!!

$50 off of craigslist here in denver.. it even comes with a brush attachment so i can sweep my driveway in the summer.. its about 12-13 wide and wieghs liek 10 lbs.. once i get the rig done im tearin this thing apart to see if i can runn it off of 14.4 and an old txt speed control.. it wouldnt surprise me if it has a 540/550 can motor in there... hhmmmm.... brushless snow blower anyone? mamba max here i come!.. maybe $$$
