[Lorentz82]

has anyone tried this Snowplow for Granite?

You don't want anything integy, parts wise.

You will bend the pop can aluminum they use by simply installing it. BUT, if your heart desires to plow snow, plow snow!

I have not seen the kit. I just think the Granite is not heavy enough to push snow. And you would have to go down really far on gearing. Probably only use a 2S lipo. I think on a Crawler it would be a lot better.

I've seen people use them on a Summit and they seemed decent enough for that but like @RC-Dude said the Granite is a bit small to push snow.

No matter what unless the RC car is 60+ lbs with studded tires or tank tracks, it won't do much for pushing snow. The force needed vs available traction just isn't a ratio that is in your favor.

Usually its for looks/show or shelf queen.

It would depend on snow type and depth.

From prior hands on experience with integy, I will not purchase anything from them.

Thanks for great info guys

Yeah like an inch or so would probably be okay but anything more than that and it would probably get stuck.

Which reminds me if I wanted an rc snow plow I would just get one of these https://www.horizonhobby.com/produc...LWRRE32Wm1HzB1JOTPqYbiQywUryIWSRoCv4wQAvD_BwE

Too bad they don't make the nitro one anymore though and I could have sworn at one point you could get this as a kit too.

I wish they made REAL hobby grade excavation equipment with scale working hydraulics. I'd build a racetrack with them. Those kyo's are very cool but weak.

I'm trying to remember this.. I don't think they sold it as a kit... I think they sold an ARTR with their nitro version. Its been some years though and I'm a little foggy headed on it..

Always wanted a nitro one though. I ended up getting the nitro atv they sold instead. I still have that thing somewhere (maybe) but it was in pieces and lost during the move 11 years ago. Hasn't been seen since.

Maybe I was thinking of the ARTR. Idk they have only been making the Blizzard for 41 years so who knows.
