 Here is the first shot of my new blizzard, I still need to put sticker & the plastic hardware on the body. It has the stock motor in it for now, but that won't last long, it needs more speed. I think I'm putting a Mamba Max 4600kv in it. The paint is Pactra "true blue pearl" rc293 |

My favorite color blue man, nice! I'd love to see a video of it flying with a brushless. |

Looks great!, I also think that blue is it's best color. I kinda like the new style black wheels as well. |

Spot on man! Looks great! Give it a coat of silver inside to get rid of the translousent effect. |

 Wayyyy cool!!, congrats! I just priced these today after reading your post, it seems like the ideal "PC tuneable brushless" for blizzards.

Here it is installed. I haven't had time to put the electronics back in balloons and take it for a spin outside. But it will pull wheelies on the carpet now, haha.

Here is some quick and dirty video off my cell phone, and it is really dark. Mamba Max 4600kv, 21 tooth pinion with 86 tooth factory spur gear. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYE6894dr3E |

Just curious what you are running for a battery and what your run time is with the Mamba Max? Thanks! |

I have a Duratrax 4200mah and a Racers Edge 3600mah. I'm not sure on runtime for a full battery. It has been too cold here lately to stay out very long. Hopefully this weekend I will have a better idea on the runtimes. |

"Cool" doesn't even come close to describing that!, I.. like it. This makes me wonder who will organize the first annual invitational blizzard drag race. I'm thinking that those Government tax rebate checks are going to support faster blizzards.

You have no shortage of snow there eh! With the gearing your blizzard still has more speed then the stock gearing and brushless on mine. I have to get it into some deeper snow like you have though, looks like so much fun! |

Once I put the brushless motor in, I was at like stock 17t pinion for about 5 minutes, then I started going bigger, haha |

yeah, I bought a 30T, but the pinion is actually stamped "33". After seeing the way your's moves, I better get pinions 21-32. |
