Kyosho Blizzard, brushless power

that thing hauls azz! So what kind of radio do you use for that? I would immagine it would be a stick radio for airplanes so you can control each track independently?

It's actually a single motor with a differential with left and right brakes off one servo that steer a blizzard. Turn left and the left track locks. Turn right and the right track locks. Any radio would work.

Actually Kyosho Blizzards use a differential between the tracks with a brake disc on each side. To steer, it uses a single servo that applies the brake on 1 side or the other. You can use a pistol type radio for this, but if one were so inclined, I guess you could use a stick radio for airplane, but really it would be doing the same thing, unless you set it up for dual motors, 1 driving each track.

EDIT: Whoops, Harold posted the same thing while I was typing this up.
