If you're in the UK, you might look for 'em over on German eBay. You'll have better luck than us on getting one with a groomer too!

http://modellbau.ebay.de/ and go into RC-Modellbau (3rd column)

Use the following key-words (separately): Pistenraupe, PistenBully, Pisten Bully Blizzard.

Graupner called it the Kassbohrer Pisten Bully (real brand name of snow groomer)
I see quite a few up now (even one complete one) cheap toy versions, and a few of the Conrad 'uglies':

If you want a basher, look for a functional chassis... any body can be stuffed on it with a bit of skill.


Outcast: :nice:

Thats one good-condition DX you have. I'll be saving the stock controls for display, and using dual-ESC's or if I can get a few spares, a Tamiya DMD T-01.

Looks like yours is missing the battery crossbar too... not many have it at this late date, but its easy to make a replacement. You going to put bearings in the wheels and the final drive axles? I am, just haven't gotten to it yet.

Oh... know anyone that still has stocks of the BL10 tracks? They are our older style ones instead of the BL-10B's that have the every-other-link cleats like the Nitro has?


Lester:

EP/EV... apparently the names are interchangable, but may be market-dependant, like the old Kyosho/Graupner name difference (yea, the Graupner Pisten Bully WAS a Kyosho Blizzard DX marketed under their name)
