I've been waiting for this much snow for 3 or 4 years - had a good chance to get the Kyosho Blizzard out for some fun





Couple of YouTube clips too:

Great stuff, I love taking my Savage 25 out in the snow, great fun.

What video camera system are you using for the on-board footage? I wouldn't mind fitting one to My RC cars.

It's a FlyCamOne that is primarily for r/c planes, but works fine on the cars:

Great stuff! Is the nitro version much faster? Or maybe a brushless conversion and a LiPo would give some nice rooster tails in the snow

Sorry for going of topic, but what is the twin engined moster truck you have? I seem to have stopped using my Savage 25 and a twin engined setup might be good to get me interested in it again...

Cool pics. My blizzard runs Lipo and a 13x3 Super Modified. Goes like hell and pops wheelies Electrics are MUCh faster than the nitro ones as you can soup 'em up easily.

I got me a Hot Bodies lighting gtx2, good truck! Its really solid , clipped a brick wall in it one and knocked the wall down (it was only about a foot and a bit tall). No damage to the truck tho.

It will run like it has never been stood, I did a similar thing with mine, the engine fired first time and it never faltered.
