Your mom is the cheapest we could come up with.

i bet so with the christmas special she has going :lol: :wink:



so whats the projected speed with the 11t and 13t and what voltage did you end up going with? im too lazy to look back through 11 pages.

Post whore...:rofl:

Nice snow plow, that's pretty neat. Should be alot of fun to push entire snow banks with that beast! :lol: Can't wait to see a video of it running, looks like it should be lots of fun. And make it 4wd!

Indecisive woman.

Anyways, here are a few close shots...

Going to trim it and cut the flanges off to give it a more official look.

That's nice and clean looking. Nice job.:yes:

Thanks metal! Get on aim though.:yes:

Well the sprokets and chain were shipped yesterday and the esc still hasnt shipped yet. Looking to get the stuff that has shipped on friday or saturday this week.

I also still have to order a new rod end for the front left shock because one snapped. Im thinking that this will work- http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXMYY7&P=Z

I also am in need of ideas on how to mount 3 big 12v 3.6lb PB's.Im thinking steel 90' brakets will work great.

How did you snap a rod end??

What shape are the batteries? you could use some aluminum angle stock for support and straps to keep them from going up and out.

Snapped it on a high landing back in the summer. About a 4ft jump landing on one arm. Thats alot of stress for a 1/5.

Yeah that's one thing I have seen about 5th scales. A nice crash and you have to spend 40-200 dollars to fix it.:tongue: Even a little piece like you need costs a lot... Part cost is too much for me.

But hey, you gotta pay to play:rules:

Thats so true. Thankfully this is built very well and never had any issues with it except for that which is minor.

hwo long did you drive it around as a gasser?

For about 6 tanks.:lol: Got tired of the mess and it was extremely loud with the xcan pipe.

Ok guys made a dual arm overhang for the plow which will make lifting the plow easier than having it lifted from the stock bar. Im going to bench test it on a 1/18 servo just to see if its that easy to raise/lower.

Not bad, looks like it would be easy to do a rws conversion ;)

Looking good. How long till she is electric?

Hmm.... Would help with steering. because it has a huge radius. The stock servo is a bit much tho. Ill have to think about it.:lol:

The gears and chain were shipped. Just waitin for astro to e-mail me saying the esc has been shipped. Still have to order the batterys aswell. Hopefully will get those on order the day after christmas.:yes:

Nice!

Thanks RV0

Looks great Ryan, can't wait to see a video of the snowplow in action!

If my computer will let me upload the vids then yes. Its very difficult to upload vids from my camcorder for some odd reason...

Good news guys! Tested the plow with the 1/18 servo and it works great. Ill see if i can get a few more pics up here shortly.

Waiting for pics... Oh Jesus.

Ryan wanted me to post his new pictures so here goes:

That's sweet!! Now all we need is a video.:whip::wink:

That is of course, when your computer lets you.

Ryan's computer is like Chris's girlfriend.

And what is that supposed to mean....

EDIT: I get it now...... yeah, yeah, you gotta rub that in don't you....

Yes. :rofl:

I don't get it...

:no::whip:

She won't always let me do stuff, like Ryan's computer. Get it now?

Haha, here are a few more...
