Brushless Blizzard Anyone - RC-Monster Forums

If anyones interested, this is some video I shot yesterday of my brushless ArtAttack snowmobile. I just finished building it this past week. It definitely doesn't like fluffy snow like in the vid, works well on harder packed stuff. Anyways, I threw my older 1/8 buggy electronics in it for fun, a Quark 125B, Feigao 9L, and Maxamps 4S 5000's. I think I need to gear up some more, but it's a nice combination of speed and controllability right now. It's a blast to drive.

That was cool! You need a person on it though because it looks weird to see a driverless snowmobile.

You also need to groom yourself a trail because it looks like it was a little sluggish in the deep stuff.

yeah, i've been looking for a person for it. HPI and Pro-Line make riders for their monster truck ATV bodies, but I didn't feel like spending $25 on a little toy figure. I figure some toy might have a guy I can put on it for cheap. I just bought a 40T mod 1 spur I'm going to try to mount (theres a 51T OFNA spur on it now), that should let me use a better range of pinions and gear it better. FYI, I rigged an old RC10L SS motor pod/axle to run the main track, it works like a charm.
